Measurement: Area & Volume - FLASH-MAC FLASH-MAC is an educational resource designed to fortify the understanding of area and volume, two critical skills in mathematical measurement. This resource is particularly beneficial for educators teaching math at grade 1 or grade 2 levels in both public school and homeschooled environments. The Curriculum-Based Content This chapter mini offers curriculum-based content designed to engage students while maintaining alignment with core education standards. The chapter begins with a pre-assessment, allowing teachers to gauge a base level of understanding before diving into the lesson plan. The measurement-focused lesson is then supplemented with real-world word problems that exemplify practical applications of these concepts, bridging the gap between abstract and tangible math concepts. Beyond Classroom Exercises In addition to classroom learning, FLASH-MAC also provides multiple drill activities intended as homework or additional exercises for solidifying knowledge through repetition. A Variety of Learning Tools Included: A set of math tools bundled for interactive learning and hands-on engagement during math discussions. An array of printables serving as valuable visual reminders assisting students independently as they tackle challenging problems or review learned concepts. A selection fun components including a memory match game, a board game, and spinner game help make learning enjoyable while driving home key learning objectives surrounding area measurements and volume calculations. To ensure success following this rich bundle program, assessment provision via SMART Response technology enables educators not only to seamlessly transition from teaching modules directly into the assessment phase but also to monitor progress over time based on provided metrics for each student's performance data analysis. Inclusive Education This program is accessible for diverse learner groups. It comes standard with English voice-over narration complemented by text material but includes optional Spanish voice-over narration making it an equally useful resource for ESL classes or bilingual schools thereby facilitating an inclusive learning environment where no learner feels left behind because of language barriers.

Circle time includes songs, verses, movement activities, and games. Does it work for homeschooling? Yes! Here ideas for how to do circle time at home.
Offering a delightful way for children to master new subjects and for adults to brush up on old ones. Each is brightly colored, measures a full 12\" x 17.5\" and is custom laminated with a non-glare laminate on the front and a write-on/wipe-off laminate on the back. The back of each placemat features learning exercises based on the front. For example, on the reverse side of the Map placemat, the map is blank so your child can write in the names of the states, capitals, etc. On the Multiplication table placemat, you'll find the equations from the front without the answers and out of order, making them much more challenging for your child.

To give you a bit of backgound- The Four C's are being called the "super skills" for the 21st Century. These skills have been 10 years in the making and were developed in partnership by the National Education Association (NEA) and several national organizations. The skills were narrowed down to four after interviewing leaders in a variety of areas. The 4 C's include: Critical Thinking Collaboration Creativity Communication The goal is to make the development and refinement of these skills part of the "classroom practice." Which in and of itself seems to like a great idea, but how to do it is the challenge. Now, as a teacher I believe I need to be able to show my students what each skill "looks and sounds like" in order for them to make any progress. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything written in kid terms. So... I read what I could find about each skill and attempted to synthesize what each skill would look like in an elementary school student. Just click on the posters to download. Hope you find them helpful:)

This file folder game (FFG) is to help the preschoolers understand the weather changes that God makes for us. There are so many different ways to use this FFG. This is what the inside looks like, before and after the game cards are used. You can print the 'God Makes the Weather' FFG here. Preschool Weather Daily Journal: I babysit my grandchildren, and we do certain learning things. Part of what we do every day, is go outside and "Let's see what God is doing with the weather today!" I purchased this journal at Dollar General, these journals are everywhere. But this was cute, and cheap, and I knew I could use it for something! Keep in mind, she is 3 and it is her book, so she does the work in it. We look at the sky that God created and see some of the different things that He made for us to enjoy. We might do sky, grass, trees, etc and talk about what color He made everything. Or there might be enough in the sky to keep her busy. Usually, there are birds flying, so we can count them. We can listen and look for the airplanes. We can talk about a lot of senses, colors, and numbers and she doesn't even know she is learning. When we see anything different, we add a sticker to the page and she talks... and talks about it. This day was sunny, with some clouds, so she added both pictures. When we go back inside, she glues her day in the book, we can review some of the letters she knows, and she glues the correct picture for the weather she just saw outside. That helps her think, too. Since, it's Memphis, it's mostly suns, and hardly any snow ☺. She saw bees for the above page, and I keep stocked up on stickers. Several places (Michaels) have pads of them for $1.00, and I am always looking. On this page is a butterfly on a flower. We watched a butterfly flicker around, and then land on a flower...WOW!! And, then it flew away. But, she loved it! And she remembers that when she looks at her book. They come over M-F, so that is what her book shows, but in the download, I added the weekend in case you want to use it. She likes purple, so the headings are purple! Print the Days labels here. Yah! It's Wednesday! We get to go to Bible class tonight! (She gets excited.) She adds the new month, and we can talk about the changes God makes with that. And, any holidays, etc. that will happen. Here are the months. You can print the weather pictures here. Sun Rain Stormy Cloudy Snow Weather Pocket Chart: When we are done with the journal, we look at the pocket chart (Target Dollar Spot, $1.00) and we talk about the different weather and she clips the heat factor and the different elements for the day. You can find free downloads for what I used as a pocket chart, and there are other ways to use the printables here on this blog: http://rowdyinroom300.blogspot.com/2012/07/weather-chart.html
