10 multiplication games and activities for teaching multiplication. Students will love learning their multiplication facts, building fluency and strategies.

We have had numerous emails and blog comments regarding our Portfolio/Documentation Books. (Thank you for your interest and patience for this post!) Here is a little bit more information about them to help inform parents and other blog visitors. Each child in our class has a Portfolio/Documentation Book with their name and photo on the top. These folders are filled with clear sleeves to easily update what is included inside. After a trip to London England with YRDSB's Leadership Study Tour in 2011, our school team received great inspiration from their approach to early years documentation. At the two schools that we visited, we were impressed by their documentation notes, organization, and how well they made the learning in their classrooms visible. This inspired us to start something similar that would fit into our Bond Lake P.S. context here in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Below are some images (cropped for privacy reasons) of how the documentation templates look like. On the top is space for the child's name and date, the context in which the learning took place, and the level of support that was given by adults. (Educators circle whether it occurred indoors, outdoors, if it was child/adult initiated, whether the child was alone, in a pair, small group, or large group.) In the middle is a space for a photo of the child engaged in play-based learning, inquiry-based learning, or other curricular learning experiences. On the bottom of the template is space for educator notes (observations or dialogue between the children), next steps, the links to the curriculum, and who made the observation. Last year we also started to use this template for math interviews. Below is an example of an interview about ordinal numbers. The only difference, is that the image section has clip art of students in a line that matched our question about ordinal numbers. Another component of our Portfolio/Documentation Books are our monthly writing samples. Each day our students are expected to share their thinking through graphic communication (drawing/creative expression paired with writing) and post it on "Our Daily Writing Hangs Here" wall. The next morning we sit in front of the writing wall to discuss and give feedback for our writing. The writing samples then get placed into a filing cabinet, and saved until the child is asked to choose their two best pieces for the month. After the two pieces are selected (using our learning goal and success criteria that is reviewed each day during our feedback time) there is a reflection template that is filled out by the educator and the child to describe their work and next steps for improvement. These two samples then get placed within the Portfolio/Documentation Books. The purpose of these Portfolio/Documentation Books is to make visible our daily learning and discoveries. Learning in kindergarten that is play-based and inquiry-based requires many photographs, as we do not run a worksheet based program. Our hope is that students re-visit their learning and share it with their parents during Family Fridays. For our classroom, these templates were an excellent way to start documenting our students and making observations of their learning. Our next steps will focus on more in depth pedagogical documentation of our inquiries and math problem solving experiences. These experiences are more difficult to squeeze into one photo and a single page template. For this reason, we will sometimes use the template above and sometimes create the story of learning using a word processing program. I hope that this gives you a starting point, and that it better explains our process for you. There will soon be an interview available about this via the ETFO kindergarten page as well. Feel free to make a comment on this blog post about your impressions of these books, as well as other questions that you may have. I would be happy to clarify them for you! Please note that these Portfolio/Documentation Books include moments of learning and observations. More pedagogical documentation in the form of inquiry binders and panels are also used around our classroom. Those are not per child, but rather for small groups of children or the whole class.

Do you want to get started with project based learning, but you’re not sure how? Maybe project based learning sounds too complicated, in-depth, and overwhelming to you? That’s how I felt when I first delved into PBL. But now I know there is nothing to be afraid of! In this post, I will give a quick explanation of project-based learning and then give you some tips and ideas to begin to implement it in your own classroom. What is Project Based Learning?

If you need a chart different than what’s pictured, please contact me! Size: 24” x 32” (Please note: There are two hole marks in each chart that will be laminated over) Anchor charts are invaluable to students and teachers when displayed in the classroom for continued learning. They make great visual references for students when learning new skills and serve as reminders for information learned. Please note, due to the custom, hand-made nature of this item, the actual poster you receive may vary slightly from the one pictured. I will do my best to make it as close as possible! There may be slight imperfections in the chart paper or lamination which are out of my control. Colors may vary!

The Oxford Frame Loom is the most practical weaving frame loom on the market. Designed for beginner and advanced weavers, this frame loom helps you to discover your weaving style by accessing the unique design features at each stage of your development as a weaver. From basic frame loom weaving to double-cloth hand-weaving, this frame loom has it all! The most unique frame loom design on the market! Our new frame loom design aims to bridge the gap between beginner and advanced weavers. Its unique design has features that enable beginner weavers to quickly and easily set up a warp, practice basic weaving techniques and develop their skill set by weaving on a smaller, portable frame loom. But once the student is ready to progress to more complicated weaving patterns, structures and projects (usually only possible on a table or floor loom), The Oxford Frame Loom comes into its own. Weavers using The Oxford Frame Loom can weave longer projects, wider projects and double-sided projects. As their skills progress and they begin to experiment, weavers can create double-cloth fabric, add in extra warps to create variety for their designs and numerous other more advanced and experimental designs usually only possible on larger, more expensive and complex looms. Designed by Cassandra Smith, a professional textile designer with a background in engineering and trained as a hand-weaver at Central Saint Martins, The Oxford Frame Loom is the culmination of her experiences as a weave student, a professional weaver working in the textile design industry, textiles educator and frequent traveller. The Oxford Frame Loom was designed to help weavers to continue exploring their love of this craft by creating a versatile and adaptable loom without investing large sums of money on looms you may not want or need. FEATURES & WEAVING POSSIBILITIES 1. The Oxford Loom is Available in 2 sizesMedium Frame Loom size Overall dimensions: 30cm x 38cm Weaving width: 25cm x 32cm Available with an optional Heddle Bar Available with an optional Loom Stand Ideal for weaving smaller or longer projects like coasters, lavender sachets, jewelry, small wall-hangings, scarves and small lampshades Loom suited to weaving flat on the table, at an angle with the stand, on your lap or upright with clamps (purchased separately) X-Large Frame Loom size Overall dimensions: 56cm x 56cm Weaving width: 51cm x 51cm Available with an optional Heddle Bar Available with an optional Loom Stand Ideal for weaving larger and longer projects like cushions, throws, wraps, lampshades and larger wall-hangings Loom suited to weaving flat on the table, at an angle with the stand, your lap, or upright with clamps (purchased separately) 2. Double Sided Heddle Bars - The only Frame Loom with this Feature! Weave 2 projects at the same time Set the loom up to weave Double Cloth designs with the increased EPI Weave designs with a mirror image using both sides of the loom to align more easily (think pouches, baskets and X-Mas stockings) Add in a extra warp using the 2nd side of the Heddle bar or adding an extra Heddle Bar (purchased separately) for a finer cloth or warp variety 3. Adjustable Heddle Bars Long channels to smoothly slide your Heddle Bar and adjust your warp tension Adjust your Heddle Bar to the lowest position to weave smaller projects so as not to waste yarn Remove top and/or bottom Heddle Bars and position to weave longer projects using clamps (think scarves, lampshades and plant pot holders) Easily warp and wind a longer warp onto the Heddle Bar and re-attach to the frame for weaving 4. Extra Heddle Bar Available - The only Frame Loom with this Feature! Add an extra Heddle Bar to tie in an extra warp of a different quality and adjust the tension separately from the main warp Use the extra Heddle Bar in its lowest setting to maintain warp width for long projects and improve 'drawing in' 5. Extra Deep and Wide Warp Channels Extra deep and wide warp channels enable weavers to use different and thicker yarns for the warp (not just a fine cotton!) Deep and wide warp channels on both sides of the Heddle Bar make it possible to wind on a longer warp, maintaining tension to weave longer projects (think scarves and table runners). Weave balanced cloth that features both warp and weft yarns 6. Versatile Spacing Options at 2, 4, 8 or 16 EPI  - The only frame loom with this variety of Sett! Weave Tapestries using the 2 or 4 EPI settings to cover your warp with your weft yarn Weave finer cloth when sett at 8 or 16 EPI and choose to feature either the warp or weft yarn Weave test samples on your frame loom and save your project technical details to transfer and weave on a hand or floor loom later Our loom sett works with common reed settings for table looms 7. Frame loom can be dis-assembled, transported and stored with ease Dis-assemble the loom completely for easy storage and transportation Handy clasp ring can be attached to the loom to store weaving tool set and wing nuts when not in use Includes a small pouch to store wing nuts Felt storage pouch included to protect the loom when being stored 8. Solid, Sustainable, Hardwood Design Constructed by local craftsmen Waywood Furniture Premium quality construction by Simon @ Waywood Furniture The Oxford Frame Loom features locally sourced solid Beech hardwood Each piece of sustainable hardwood is chosen for its quality and strength  Hand sanded for a smooth finish Natural Beech finish 9. A Uniquely Designed Frame Loom where details matter The raised warp on the front face makes it easier to insert your weaving tools as it clears the side frames Heddle Bars are reversible and can be flipped over on the reverse to raise the face of the woven project above the side frames for easier weaving when needed Smooth wood surface avoids snagging yarns Heddle bar design ensures they sit snugly in the channels on the side frames to maintain even warp tension and maintains a square shape when weaving Easy to loosen and remove wing nuts when adjusting or re-positioning the Heddle Bars A long channel helps to re-position the Heddle Bar for smaller projects or when adding a third Heddle bar 10. Travel and storage of your loom is a dream The frame loom disassembles quickly and easily, making it easy to transport and take with you on holiday The soft, felt storage pouch separates and protects each wooden bar or can be wrapped around a work in progress for travel It can be stored in the sturdy storage tube for safe keeping, so that it doesn't get damaged and fits in most suitcases Using a simple technique, it is possible to disassemble your loom with a warp or project still on the loom Pop your warped loom or unfinished project into in your storage tube or wind it up into your protective felt storage pouch (coming soon) to work on it later Want to learn more? Click here What's Included - Medium Loom: 1 x The Oxford Frame Loom (Medium) 1 x Weaving Tool Set (Medium) 4 x Wing nuts to secure Double-Sided Heddle Bars to side frames 1 x Pouch for storing wing nuts when disassembled 1 x Felt travel & storage pouch for the loom (4 Slots) 1 x Felt travel & storage pouch for the weaving tools (1 Slot) What's Included - XL Loom: 1 x The Oxford Frame Loom (XL) 1 x Weaving Tool Set (XL) 1 x TOFL Stand (One Size) 4 x Wing nuts to secure Double-Sided Heddle Bars to side frames 1 x Pouch for storing wing nuts when disassembled 1 x Felt travel & storage pouch for the loom (4 Slots) 1 x Felt travel & storage pouch for the weaving tools (1 Slot) Optional Extras: Extra Double-Sided Heddle Bar (Medium or XL) Frame Loom Stand (One Size) Felt travel & storage pouch for Heddle Bar, Stand & Weaving Tools (4 Slots)
