LEARN TO WRITE YOUR NAME It is so exciting when children become curious about how to write their name. I believe teaching them to write their name should be the first word they learn how to spell . It is personal, concrete and helps them realize that putting letters together in writing has me

Last year I saw a great post from Heidi at Heidi Songs about using her sight word videos with white boards. It was a big hit with my kiddos last year and today I decided we were ready to try it with this group. They LOVED it! It's a super simple activity that gets them connecting with the videos in a whole new way. Total engagement......very little effort. Win-win! To keep them from writing/ erasing/ writing/ erasing.....you get the idea....I simply didn't give them an eraser and told them not to erase with their fingers. We wrote each word one time and we kept going until our boards were full. That gave us about 13-15 songs which was a full 20 minute activity. They were sad when it was done! I gave them a tissue when we were done to erase really quick (handing out erasers drives me crazy, a quick tissue for each pair makes for fast clean up). Here is a video example from last year. If you don't own the videos you can get them HERE. I also have the alphabet videos which we use at the beginning of the year. There are a ton of engaging videos to get you singing and moving in your classroom. We love the math videos too! We can't get enough of Heidi Songs in our classroom! How do you mix things up in your classroom? If you want to remember to check out Heidisongs save this post for later!

A list of the 100 most used verbs in Spanish, links to the conjugation of top Spanish verbs, and tips to learn Spanish verbs effectively

Vocabulary is the knowledge of words and their meanings. Teaching vocabulary consists of several things. 1. Expressing words through multiple meanings. Ex: fly (insect, something a bird can do, a way to travel in a airplane) 2. Giving students the tools they need to effectively communicate orally and in writing. 3. Kids need to be able to explain what words mean as well as understand what they mean. Research shows that students need to be exposed to words in multiple contexts in order for them to stick. Today I'll be sharing how I introduce new vocabulary words in my classroom. This post contains affiliate links. You can see my disclosure here. When introducing vocabulary I like to use the My Turn, Your Turn strategy. This comes from the book Word Nerds:Teaching All Students to Love Vocabulary. This model focuses on 6 things when introducing new vocabulary to students. 1. making predictions about the meaning 2. teaching parts of speech 3. give a kid friendly definition 4. discuss what they already know 5. use it in a sentence Here is an example of how it works. Teacher holds up a vocabulary card with the word bursting. •Teacher chants, “My turn, bursting. Your turn, _______.” •Students fill in the word bursting as they chant together. •Teacher claps the syllables as she slowly and carefully pronounces the word. •“My turn, BUR-STING, 2. Your turn, _________.” •They hold up the number of syllables with their fingers and say the number. • Teacher gives part of speech. • Discuss what you already know about the word. Turn and talk. • Use it in a sentence. Turn and talk. Example 2 •Teacher: All right, the next word for this week is My Turn, breathe, Your Turn, breathe. •Teacher: The word breathe has one syllable. Students clap and show with their fingers. •Teacher: The word breathe is a verb, so it is something that you can do. •Teacher: Ok boys and girls, what do we know about the word breathe? Turn and talk. • Teacher: Breathe is how air moves in and out of your mouth and nose-like an air tank. Model and have students do. •Let’s try it in a sentence, “I want to breathe some fresh air.” Can you try? Turn and talk. We repeat this process with each new word introduced and refer back to this method throughout the week. Once the kids have it down, I'll call on students to lead My Turn, Your Turn to review. I hope you can use this strategy in your classroom.
