A great look into lessons that kindergarteners taught their teacher and how we can learn important lessons from even the youngest students.
Hey hey! Do you remember being in college and taking a test wishing, if I just had extra time I could really learn this in detail and get a good grade? That is how children feel. I am the first to say and admit that I move in math class at the rate of a racehorse. Do I like it? Not at all. Do I have to? YES. With all of the math standards that we have to teach, our year at a glance is packed with math standards. Maybe our kids don’t understand the material right after we teach the standard. However, should we forget about their data just because we have to move on to the next? After I give the kids an assessment, I grab one of my re-teach half sheets and write down any scores less than an A. I paperclip the assignments to the back of the half sheet so I know that I need to re-assess those people. After I record their scores, I reprint a paper (for each kid) that I can use for a small group, and the assessment again. When I have extra time (I know who has extra time), I pull a […]

Support your students in remembering more from your lessons! Less reteaching, higher engagement, and better recall using proven retrieval strategies! Enhance the higher order thinking of your students through protocols and routines that can be embedded into any lesson! These graphic organizers are focused on improving student memory so they are more successful on summative assessments. What's Included? - Storyboard It! After a lesson, students will storyboard the main ideas and concepts taught using a combination of both words and pictures. Multiple versions included for easy differentiation. - Index Card After a lesson or topic, students will create a cheat sheet of information they think would be helpful on a test or quiz in the future on that lesson's topic. - Sketch and Tell After a lesson, students will create a summarizing diagram, chart, or illustration using only lines, shapes, and nonfiction text features. Next, explain what you created using words. Following this activity, students can share their thinking with a peer. - $2 Summary After a lesson, students will write a summary of what they learned and what concepts were most important. Each word is worth ten cents. - The Big Picture Each student draws a picture of what they have learned about a specific topic. When students finish, glue all individual pictures onto a large sheet of paper or bulletin board (or fit them together 'quilt-style) to create THE BIG PICTURE. Discuss: What had you forgotten? Why did you forget it? What similarities/differences do you notice? How can we build connections to learning? How to Use? Retrieval strategies are RESEARCH-BASED! Use these engaging and easy to implement strategies during your lessons, and your students WILL remember what you teach better! Choose the strategy that will work best for your students and the topic you are covering. Practice the retrieval strategy. It will become a protocol that makes lessons more interactive and engaging, leading to better recall. Benefits of Retrieval Practice: - Improves student learning & retention of information over the long term - Increases students' higher-order thinking and transfer of knowledge - Identifies students' gaps in knowledge, which provides formative assessments - Increases students' metacognition & awareness of their own learning - Increases students' engagement & attention in class - Increases students' use of effective study strategies outside of class - Increases students' advance preparation for class - Improves students' mental organization of knowledge - Increases students' learning or related information that isn't initially retrieved - Increases students' learning in the future by blocking interfering information

This lesson is designed to help students build knowledge about what are conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections. The lesson can be taught by you or a substitute in one to two class periods, but I planned it to be taught as mini-lessons every day for a week. This allows students to absorb the concept and use it in several ways over a longer time period. In this way, the knowledge should stay with them. I intended these activities to be used first thing in class every day as a bell-ringer activity. They are straight-forward and simple so that students can absorb the basic concepts easily. I think having all the little pieces in place such as knowing what are the functions of conjunctions, prepositions and interjections is essential to strong, unambiguous writing. So, no matter what the age of your students, they can benefit from this lesson. This may be a review for older students but can help if they need to shore up any of their concepts. The lesson contains: • All teacher instructions • A worksheet on conjunctions—both coordinating and correlative • A worksheet on prepositions and interjections • A worksheet on definitions and functions of conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections • A worksheet review in which students write sentences using conjunctions, prepositions, and interjections • A Quiz over Conjunctions, Prepositions, and Interjections • All KEYs This lesson is also in a Bundle. Find it in my store under Trimester One.

The kids LOVED our character traits kick-off lesson this week! They each did an amazing job. To start the week off I explained to the kids that character traits were words that could describe us on the inside or outside. After brainstorming positive traits I had the kids make their own character traits on personal busts. This lesson led into more character trait lessons with picture books. Students were able to describe a character's actions in the beginning of a book through the end of the book. After they describe how the character changed or completed a character analysis. Character Traits With Mrs. Labrasciano After introducing personal character traits, we moved into Wemberly Worried. I have a student who is just like Wemberly! This was a great opportunity to help them through their anxiety and work on our comprehension at the same time. The kids love to put together projects so I made them a folder activity that helped us to see how Wemberly changes in the book. Wemberly Worried Wemberly Worried

Students truly begin to learn what it means to be a GREAT CITIZEN. Students connect with lesson concepts and begin using the vocabulary associated with being a GREAT CITIZEN. This unit is easy to teach because the lesson format for each trait is the same. OUR STORY We have taught first grade for quite a few years and, although we know there is so much to teach in first grade, a top priority of ours is to help students truly understand what it means to be a GREAT CITIZEN. However, it hasn't been easy for us to find quality resources to thoughtfully teach GREAT citizenship skills. We found ourselves scrounging for ideas each year. We finally decided to create a rich, comprehensive citizenship unit. Our students LOVE it and we hope yours will too. FAQ How long does each lesson take? Each lesson takes between one and two days. However, if you choose, you can always go at a slower pace depending on your schedule. What is the best time of year to teach this unit? This citizenship unit can be taught anytime during the year. Even though many teachers like to establish a respectful and caring environment right from the "get go" of school, it is never too late to teach these important skills. Is it important to teach the lessons in order? The only lesson that needs to be taught at a certain time is Lesson 1 because it is an overview of the unit. The GREAT citizen traits can be taught in any order. Is it essential that students engage in ALL the components of the lesson? If you are in a time crunch, please feel free to pick and choose activities that you feel your students need. The must-do's for us are the Read Alouds, Student Books, Activities of the Day, and Poems. Have a wonderful day! Becky and Cindy at Primary Bliss Teaching - Where fun and learning collide!
