The humorous fiction titles and fascinating nonfiction titles engage readers. The wrap-around covers increase excitement and add information about the book before reading. There are an equal number of fiction and nonfiction titles at each level. The design is cutting-edge, to appeal to young, visually savvy learners. Features include speech bubbles, variety of fonts and design, and nonfiction features. To make nonfiction more accessible to beginning readers Key Links uses a documentary style. Using a ‘case-study’ approach, experiences of animals or people are recounted to give students a more familiar story-like feel. Example: Free Resources. Literacy-in-Maths - home.

The Printable Princess: Back to School Games for Kindergarten

We have been unpacking boxes from storage and finding things we completely forgot we had. It has been like Christmas in July around here! We are enjoying Wisconsin so much! Summers here are way more enjoyable than Florida summers. Can't say the same about the winters though! We also took our daughter to her first baseball game. While I was unpacking boxes I found some bus cut-outs that I bought at Dollar Tree awhile back. I'm calling this one "Bears on a Bus". And of course I had to make a recording sheet! This is another activity that I make at the beginning of the year. I use the die cut machine to make cut outs of different shapes.

I just finished my latest packet in the It's All Fun and Games series. In this activity, the kids are practicing their first name. In this activity students are matching the lowercase letters to the uppercase letters.

You’re going to want to turn on your printer and fire up a PDF viewer.

Integrate iPads Into Bloom's Digital Taxonomy With This 'Padagogy Wheel'

This is just that good. It’s called the Padagogy Wheel and it offers a fantastically useful perspecitve on how to figure out which iPad apps work with Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy. Created by Allan Carrington, this thing is a monster and deserves some focused attention. So I’d make a personal plea to save the hi-res image (below) or print out the PDF (available here) and then spend your long weekend closely examining this thing. The Padagogy Wheel takes an expanded approach Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy and offers 62 iPad apps that fit into the organized chaos that is Bloom’s.
