WHY GREEK AND LATIN ROOTS? Almost 70% of the English language is derived from Latin and Greek languages. When we teach students these “building blocks,” they can recognize and decode unfamiliar words that are related to a known root. It is also increasingly important to explicitly teach students the meanings of Greek and Latin roots as they encounter the very technical vocabulary found in science and other content areas. WHY SKETCH NOTES Sketch notes present your students with a meaningful and engaging activity that they will love. Doodle notetaking activates verbal and visual modalities to capture concepts. The whole brain is absorbed in hearing, synthesizing, and retaining ideas. This high level of engagement not only helps with retention of the content, but it also leaves little room for distraction. WHAT IS INCLUDED? This FREE resource includes a completely unique doodle page for 10 of the most common roots (5 Greek and 5 Latin). ✏ Greek and Latin Roots Sketch Notes [Book 1] ✏ Greek and Latin Roots Sketch Notes [Book 2] ✏ Prefixes and Suffixes Sketch Notes Get all the latest Got-to-Teach news! ➜SIGN UP for my newsletter! ➜FOLLOW me on Teachers Pay Teachers! ➜FOLLOW me on GotToTeach.com! ➜FOLLOW me on Facebook! ➜FOLLOW me on Pinterest! ➜FOLLOW me on Instagram!

We've just started our Geometry Unit. I heart geometry. It's one of those things that kids just get excited about. Shapes are everywhere! There are so many hands-on activities you can do with geometry. One of the first things we do is learn the names of common polygons. That can be trickier than it sounds - pentagons, hexagons, octagons....oh my! As a child, I was one of those nerds who came up with mnemonic devices to learn anything and everything. It just makes learning and retaining information so much easier! I mean, who doesn't still remember these.... ROY G BIV = Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally = Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction In 1492, Columbus Sailed the Ocean Blue I could go on, but you get the point! ;) So, whenever my students need to learn something tricky, I try to come up with mnemonic devices for them. That's how this "Polygon Chant" was born. {Click to download} A little more details about it.... Triangle Verse: The first thing we do when starting Geometry is read The Greedy Triangle. That's where the "triangle on the hip" comes from in this verse. ;) Quadrilateral Verse: We talk about QUAD as meaning 4...my students know about twins, triplets, and someone usually knows quadruplets. Pentagon Verse: I stress that there are 5 fingers on a hand and we hold a PEN with our hand....therefore remember that a pentagon has 5 sides. Hexagon Verse: I tell students that HEXAGON has a letter in it that we don't see in a lot of words - X....siX also has this letter....therefore remember that a heXagon has siX sides! Octagon Verse: We talk about the prefix OCT as meaning 8. Where else have they seen this? Octopus which has 8 legs! Here's a little video of my students singing it on Day 1...they caught on pretty quickly! As I was preparing for my Geometry Unit, I realized that had NO geometry centers. Like none. Seriously. Out of all the center packs that I have in my classroom none of them included geometry centers. I am SO thankful I got the Geometric Masterpieces centers completed before starting this unit. My students are already eating them up! They love getting to use their "paintbrushes" (dry erase markers) to draw, divide, and shade shapes!

This is the master boule recipe, to which you can add many variations! Try ¼ cup seeds and/or dried or fresh herbs, such as 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 2 teaspoons fresh) or ½ teaspoon dried rosemary (or 1 teaspoon fresh).

I am honored beyond belief to have been named 'Favorite Counseling Website' by Liana Lowenstein in her November Newsletter! I'm totally blown away...I have been using Liana's material ever since I started working with children and families (many moons ago). I first discovered Liana Lowenstein's work when I started working as a counselor at Whaley Children Center. 85% of our residential and foster care children were victims of sexual abuse and to be frank, I had no idea how to help young children who experienced such horrible acts. That's when a colleague lent me her copy of Paper Dolls and
