The next topic in my series in Communication is with the teachers you work alongside everyday. Let me begin by reintroducing myself: I am Mrs. H, I am a special education teacher, and COLLABORATION is my middle name. :) This year will be my tenth year teaching and I have been in special education all ten years. Every year keeps getting better and I feel more and more confident in my ability to deliver special education services to children in their areas of weakness, all while building on their strengths. One of they keys to make this possible is great collaboration. I have been fortunate to work with some outstanding teachers throughout my tenure and it has made collaboration and co-teaching a joy and most importantly beneficial to students. There are 5 Classroom Models of Co-teaching: Below you will find pictures of each co-teaching model and my simple definition for each model: The delivery methods and the lessons are obviously incredibly important, but the planning and outside of the classroom collaboration is as equally important. I created Co-teaching team weekly planning forms to help you and your co-teachers plan and stay organized together. Click on the picture to download from my TPT store. In this pack you will find forms for making co-teaching effective and efficient. The forms include: Weekly Co-Teaching Planning Sheets Classroom Teacher IEP Input Sheet Daily Lesson Plan Planning Sheet Note Cards (You can use these to send notes to parents, other teachers, administration, etc.) My suggestion is to copy several copies of each sheet for each teacher that you co-teach with and place in a binder. You will always have the binder to take with you to your planning meetings. In my effort to go paperless and reduce the amount of binders I have to keep up with: I have a little tutorial to share with you.... But you have to wait until tomorrow! :) To be prepared...if you have an iPad download: Evernote, Dropbox & GoodReader apps You can find me linking up with Fourth Grade Frolics fro Monday Made It!

Collaborative practice in the classroom can facilitate acceptance, cooperation and teamwork. These unique pages offer an incredible variety of collaborative projects that are no-prep, low maintenance, and literally full proof for student success. The concept is simple – the results are awesome! Using common materials such as colored pencils, markers, crayons, paints - each student works independently on his/her “tile.” Once completed, 4 students join their tiles together to form a whole. Simply trim away the excess paper and tape the squares together on the back. Easier still, tape them in place on a large sheet of colored paper. The completed piece is accomplished by turning each square 90 degrees clockwise and measures app.15½ x 15½ inches. You’ll receive 20 boldly designed “tiles,” developed with a broad age level in mind, loosely based on the months of the year. These seasonal images make it easy to incorporate a project into your curriculum anytime you need/want to. You’ll also find Op Art and non-holiday related subjects. Please check out the Preview to see all the images you don’t see here. Classroom Teachers It’s no secret that integrating art into your subject matter can be highly effective. After all, this product was created based on radial symmetry and fractions! As a math resource, these pages are perfect. Also consider a display of “Locked Hands” for Black History Month. Assemble a class quilt using the “Quilt Block” square. Follow the lines of a “Celtic Knot” for a fresh twist on St. Patrick’s Day. Art Teachers This is a must-have for your sub folder - a no-fuss, engaging project for a wide range of grade levels. Better yet, customize the pages to complement your own curriculum. Based on your specific directives, this product can be adapted to fit your units on color, line, shape, symmetry, asymmetry, pattern, texture, shading, contrast and more. This is a resource that not only delivers on a number of learning levels - it brings the “fun factor!” Your kids will love the ease of the process, the opportunity to create their own page and finally the “wow” moment of contributing to the cool, collaborative artwork.

Social-emotional activities have never been more important for younger kids.

I LOVE Libraryland! Have I mentioned that before? I have always been an avid volunteer, one that likes to try new things.. and I love connecting. Now, is libraryland overwhelming.. it sure is! Another thing I love is learning from others (and having a space to offer to different activities is great as well) The title of this blog is collaboration.. but when rethinking and writing it, I realize that the collaboration that I had with my art teacher was bouncing ideas off of each other.. and making sure the space was ready for various activities. That is still collaboration..right?? Before I became a librarian.. I was already following some amazing librarians (some that I will actually get to meet in person soon!!!) So, one awesome librarian/tech facilitator Nikki Robertson posted this way cool picture that she had found (if you are the original poster of this.. would you please let me know so I can thank you for the wonderful idea.. and give you credit!) How absolutely beautiful is this! So, I talked to my amazing art teacher on campus.. and the conversation went something like this: "Hey Mrs. R... want to work on something like this for the first of the year? The feathers can be students hopes, dreams, wishes and resolutions." "Sure! That is great!" A couple of weeks later.. Mrs. R approaches me and shows me the bag of beautiful feathers. "Yes, Mrs. R.. these are PERFECT! How can I help!?" "I am still getting feathers" We decided to hang this up for science night (as what better time to talk about wishes and dreams) "Hey Mrs. R.. what can I do to help with these wings?" "Help me hang them!" In other words.. I had nothing to do with this! (Well.. I did make the poster above the wings.. and I helped hang them) Seriously.. they are beautiful! She created a generic feather and then asked each student in the school to create/decorate their own and then combined them with this wonderfulness.These wings are right across the hall from the library, so I loved hearing the conversations that students had with their parents about their goals and dreams (and of course it was a perfect photo opp!) Mrs. R. the rocking art teacher At the beginning of January, Mrs. R. came to me and asked if I would like to help with a Chinese New Year Celebration. She did tell me that there would be no glitter! (Side note.. I love seeing things being created in the library.. and I don't mind mess. HOWEVER.. I HATE using glitter.. that is the one thing not allowed) Of course I said yes.. as the library is a great space to have people! We set a date, got it on the calendar.. and like before I asked what can I do to help. The space is how I helped (and help somewhat monitor the stations) The Chinese New Celebration ran much like the Late Night in the Library. It was an extended time with several stations set up. I read a short story in the middle of the time, but the hightlight.. the Dragon Dance! Stations: -Rooster stamp -Paper lanterns (like this idea.. but of course there are tons of ways that you can make them) -Chinese Plastic Spoon Dancing Dragon (like this idea, but did it with plastic spoons, string and paper pieces) -Chinese drum (much like this idea) -Write Happy New Year in Chinese (this was a super cool station because she had put out thin paper and brushes with the black paint) The art club students ran the stations, and we had over 30 attendees for a Friday afternoon. These art club students are also the ones who did the Dragon Dance. We are already talking about next year for this! We are going to do the Dragon Dance to end the day.. but before the event starts as almost a parade to the library. Did you celebrate Chinese New Year? How do you collaborate?

Collaborative practice in the classroom can facilitate acceptance, cooperation and teamwork. This collaborative activity was created from the rubric of one of my most popular resources and will be offered "free forever" as part of my own collaboration with teacher/authors here on TpT who are committed, as I am, to teach and model tolerance, respect, empathy and compassion for all children in our classrooms and communities.

My wonderful friend Mrs. Peterson came up with this lesson when she used to teach at Brimfield. Be sure to check out her blog at her new home with middle school art at Perry Local Schools. Before starting these life-sized artworks, we read I Ain't Gonna Paint No More by Karen Beaumont and illustrated by David Catrow. In the book, a little boy, who is told by his mother to stop painting the insides of the house, covers himself in paint; from head to toe. The kids love the story and then have an absolute blast tracing each other on kraft roll paper. We used crayola Slick Stix to draw patterns all over the sillhouettes and then used Biggie Cakes to paint the patterns. We had to get creative with our classroom space, but most of the kids really enjoyed working on the floor!
