New York Science Teacher ::: Science Labs, Science Worksheets, Activities and Regents Review Hello and welcome to New York Science Teacher. This site was created in 2005 with the goal of creating a central point where all Science Teachers, whether from New York State or the continent of South America could come to access quality teacher created materials. The majority of the material found within this site was graciously uploaded and shared by hard working teachers who wanted to show the world some of their best work. The site is maintained by a New York State High School Science Teacher, who checks for quality and proper functioning of all materials. Thank you for visiting us and we truly hope this website has something great to offer you. Christopher Sheehan (Webmaster and Science Teacher)

The Teacher's Corner - Lesson Plans, Worksheets and Activities multiple uses of newspapers & magazines for ELT | TeachingEnglishNotes Newspaper fire orange (Photo credit: NS Newsflash) I love using real things for teaching English. By “real things” I mean something from real life – and not something specially developed for learning or teaching. That’s why I prefer usual movies (and not educational ones – they are hardly very exiting, most of the times, usual radio and not “special English” stations, and usual newspapers (not the ones for ESL learners). Talking about the newspapers, their use in class (and outside too) is limitless. Newspapers can be used for: jigsaw reading (in a group, assign each student a small extract, then ask them to report on their part and put all the parts into the right order/ for one-to-one putting the parts into the right order would also work greatly) reading-and–retelling-and-discussing (very close to real life – when you read a newspaper in your language, you would often discuss what you’ve read with your friends or colleagues) Like this: Like Loading...

I tried to help my kids have a great school year by helping less. Here’s what worked and what didn’t. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky) Last year, Jessica Lahey, mom, teacher and author of The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go so Their Children Can Succeed, gave me the permission to stand down and provided me with the push I needed to send my older son into the wilds of middle school without me hovering, smothering or freaking out. [5 ways to help your kids have a great school year. Hint: don’t help them.] Of course, his lucky younger brother got to reap the benefits of having a mom who’s been there/done that, which made me a much mellower fourth-grade mom the second time around. But Lahey’s advice was never far from my mind this past year, which was filled with new experiences and newfound independence for all of us. What went well: I didn’t rescue them (much). I backed off, and they rose to the occasion. I did not obsessively check my middle schooler’s grades online—and to be honest, it was quite liberating. What didn’t go so well: What I’m going to work on this year:
