Does the color of water affect its temperature? This simple science experiment is a fun way to learn a little more about the light spectrum. We experience light every day but we don't often think about why we see certain colors or how these colors might affect the temperature of a liquid. In this simple

After sharing some thoughts yesterday on how to invent a recipes with kids (by opening your kitchen up as a lab for experimentation), I thought it might help if I backed up a bit and shared a few tricks that have helped me set the stage for kitchen experimentation. Here are my top four tips on bringing […]
Every once in a while, I find some lesson or strategy or routine that fundamentally improves the learning in my classroom. One such routine is the systematic teaching of academic vocabulary words. Academic vocabulary are words that are routinely used in academic dialogue and text. They are the words that can often be found in questions/assessments for all subject areas and are scattered throughout standardized tests. Long ago, during a guided reading group where I was working on writing structured responses to literary analysis questions in preparation for the NJ ASK, I discovered that, despite using the word at least a million times frequently in class, my kids had no idea what the word "cite" actually meant. I thought back to how many times I mentioned or saw in directions "be sure to cite from the text to support your answer" over the course of the year. Time and time again these kids were being asked to "cite" but they had no idea what that meant they were supposed to do. After a little research, I discovered the world of academic vocabulary and from that moment on, I taught these words to my students. There are dozens and dozens of words that can be considered academic vocabulary, but after spending some quality time with our district's reading and social studies series, I've narrowed the list down to the following words essential for middle school students: affect analyze apply argue assess cite claim compare consider context critique demonstrate determine differentiate discuss distinguish effect evaluate explore identify illustrate infer interpret oppose organize paraphrase process recall refer strategy summarize symbolize theme valid vary verify I introduce the words a few at a time and we practice using them. I point them out everywhere I see them and we talk again and again about their meaning. I hang posters of the words with their definitions in my room and refer back to them all.the.time. This has made a HUGE difference in my students' learning. Their answers to structured response questions improved and I had a lot less confusion/questions about assessment items. (Before, I'd find kids would often say, "I don't get it" about certain test questions. I had always assumed that kids meant the concept the question was assessing... it never occurred to me that they were actually struggling with the wording of the question itself!) Do you teach academic vocabulary to your students? Do you have a system for doing so? I'd love to hear about it! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The academic vocabulary posters featured in this post can be found here.

Toddlers spent most of their day playing that's why I try my best as a parent to always live by the learning through play theory. My son just turned 2 and he's now more active, curious and fearless to try everything. He would run, crawl, jump and do many things that makes this mommy nervous.

My daughter has always been an active participant in our kitchen. When she was a baby, I'd stick her in a bouncy seat and let her listen to cooking from a safe distance. I'd share tools with her while I cooked as she grew. Later, I'd even pull her highchair up to a counter and let her watch and play while I cooked. We've recently entered ruthless toddler-hood and now she wants to "help" with everything! Cooking with toddlers improves fine motor skills. Later, they will learn math, reading, and organization skills through cooking! I say start 'em young and include them as much as possible - we've found our toddler is way more excited to eat things she helped cook. We've been navigating cooking with our toddler for about a month and have learned a lot! Here are my 10 ten tips for cooking with your toddler: 1. Wash your hands! This is a great age to reinforce good hygiene habits. It should be the first thing you and your little one do when you start cooking. Set your child on a stool and let them play in the water a bit too. 2. Safety first: Make sure your toddler has a stable, non-slip step stool to work on. Keep knives, sharp tools, and hot pans out of reach. 3. Give them their own tools - Not all of your toddlers tools need to be kids sized, but by setting aside a drawer of safe, extra tools, you can give your toddler another place to play. Buy yourself some prep time by asking them to get their tools out every time you cook together. 4. Choose simple recipes: Pancakes, granola, quick breads, smoothies, and sandwiches are wonderful dishes to make with your toddler. I'll list a few of my favorite resources for other ideas at the end of this post. 5. Let them play with "real ingredients": Okay, so you might not want their grubby little hands all up in the granola you want to share or for them to knead the dinner biscuit dough into a rock. Give them a handful of oats or a small pinch of dough to go silly with - its great sensory play! 6. Practice cutting on fruit and cheese: These ingredients are soft and easy to cut - they are also safe to eat raw. 7. Use a bigger bowl for mixing than you really need unless you want to clean up a lot of pancake batter! Using an over sized bowl will give your toddler plenty of room to go stir-crazy. 8. Stop worrying about the mess! I know this one is easier said than done, but when I started thinking about cooking as a craft (like play with play-dough or painting) it was a lot easier to accept that there will be some clean up. The mess is half the fun for toddlers anyway! 9. Get them to do dishes! While your creation cooks, set your toddler up with a bowl of warm soapy water and have them "help" with clean up - its also a clever way to get their hands washed after cooking. 10. Wash, Rinse, Repeat: The more you cook with your toddler the better both of you will become at it. Repetition helps toddlers with retention - so try to make at least one day a week your special cooking together day. Maybe make Sunday morning pancakes or institute Friday family pizza night. Having some toddler specific tools certainly adds to the fun (and safety) of cooking with your little ones. Like I said not all of your toddler's tools need to be kid specific! Clock wise from top right: These Architec The Gripper Cutting Boards are built for adults but their extra grippy backing and fun colors make them wonderful for kids. I love this OXO Good Grips 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set - large, slip resistant, and unbreakable. Okay, this kid sized Hedley and Bennet Apron is just darling! We love this Little Partners Learning Tower, try searching your local craigslist for a used one if a new one is out of your budget. Curious Chef Nylon Knifes (center) are designed for little hands and perfect for practicing their chop. When did you start cooking with your parents? How do you handle your kids in the kitchen? And what are your favorite recipes to cook with them? I'd love to hear! PS These are two of my favorite recipe resources Cooking with My Kid and Weelicious!
