Help kids learn keyboarding and home row typing skills using the many websites, apps, and programs recommended in this post! What to Look for in a Typing Program? When looking for a program, website, or app to teach elementary students to type there are a few things to consider.

I know - shocking! I DO laminate all games and activities that will be handled by the sweeties. But after many years I have come to an understanding with my dear darling husband that a printer-ink budget comes along with life married to me. I would rather print a new set of things each year than waste time laminating. Here are a few things to consider before you laminate EVERY piece of paper that is going into your classroom. 1. Time vs Money How much is your time worth? I replaced the coloured ink in my printer twice last year, and printed everything I wanted. What can you do with your time that you usually spend laminating? 2. Laminating Expense If you don't laminate you are not purchasing pouches, and you can offset your ink cost. When I laminated, I had to accomodate storage of the laminated treasures. Because they can NEVER be thrown out you know, you are laminating them to use FOREVER. When I went to a print and recycle and print again system - I didn't have to worry about storage or tubs or the hassle of storage for the storage tubs. Life got much easier. And less expensive funnily enough. 3. Glare Baby Glare I love decorated classrooms, but walls full of plastic glare. Not for me. Nor is visual overload. If you need a poster for every mortal concept covered in a curriculum, consider rotating them or having them in a flip file format. Posters without glare are more readily accessed by students. 4. Environment Plastic can take from 450 to 1000 years (and even more) to disappear off our planet. That is a huge burden. Plain paper? About 5 months. Glass (hmmmm iPad) - 1,000,000 years. 5. Consume vs Create I like the message plain uncoated paper sends my students. Paper is creative. Flexible. I can change, modify and make with it. It reeks of opportunity. 6. Need Do you really need to laminate those alphabet posters? Are they really going to be rendered useless after a year if they have not been laminated? Are you honestly going to use them again next year and not want a change in style and design to match your newest decor? Laminate only the things you know you will use for a lifetime. These fun math activities have been laminated and certainly will need it with all the little fingers using them! Fill it Up will help students work on counting up to 30! Heart Number Order is a fun way to practice counting and numeral formation up to 50. By laminating this, students can use dry erase markers and practice over and over again! Have a lovely day, friends!SaveSave

This Elementary Technology Curriculum includes over 200 lessons and activities for grades K-5 that will save you so much time coming up with what to do in the computer lab. It is ideal for a technology teacher, media specialist, tech facilitator, or grade level teachers with mandatory lab time. All of the work is done for you! This is for you if: You want students who can log in, access any programs, type efficiently, and use technology to learn. You want students who are confident in using the technology required for standardized testing. You have limited time– in one 45 minute session per week, your students can develop technology literacy while completing engaging projects. You need it to be effortless for YOU and fun for your students. My name is Brittany Washburn and I’m an educator obsessed with ed tech. This curriculum was created over 3 school years when I had nothing for materials for my technology specials. I was spending my nights and weekends scouring Pinterest and Google for ideas because I knew my students deserved engaging lessons even if I had to do everything from scratch. I found myself exhausted and frustrated and just knew there had to be an easier way. That is when I discovered the magic of having my own class website and screencasting my instructions. I created a modified-flipped-classroom before I even knew that was a thing. Students were working at their own pace and they stopped asking me to repeat instructions. I felt like I had struck gold! I tested and perfected the activities with them and now I’ve made them available to you!

Root Words, Prefixes, and Suffixes - Greek and Latin Roots Vocabulary Interactive Notebook and Vocabulary Activities This Interactive Vocabulary Notebook is full of dynamic activities for teaching Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Please see the preview file for a list of the specific roots, prefixes, and suffixes included! These interactive notebook activities can be used along with ANY vocabulary program - teach them in whatever order you like. Or, I've included a suggested pacing guide broken down by weeks for 36 weeks of instruction. This resource is part of a complete year-long vocabulary curriculum bundle. Find that here. Here's a closer look at what's included in this 240-page resource: 1. There are two template options for each root word. You can choose to use the plain tab version that consists of gluing the top of the template to the notebook page and lifting up the template to write underneath it, presumably sample words and possibly definitions. The other version includes five vocabulary words as either tabs or pocket interactive notebook templates so that students can write the definition for each word under the tab or on the back of the piece that goes into the pocket. 2. Each template includes a photo tutorial for Option 2 since Option 1 will work the same for all templates. 3. For each root word, I have included five vocabulary words that use the root. I chose from an array of words that should be familiar (to help students make connections with the root and its meaning) to new words (to challenge students). 4. Each root activity also includes a vocabulary card with the words, definitions, parts of speech, and sample sentences. You might choose to have students glue this on the left side page opposite its foldable. Or, you can have students keep these in the pocket they created in the back of the notebook. 5. The Prefixes section is organized into several categories followed by four miscellaneous groupings of prefixes. Complete vocabulary cards are not included; instead, word lists including five or ten words per prefix (whichever is more appropriate) is included. See table of contents for more organizational information. 6. The Suffixes section is organized into three categories: suffixes that form nouns, suffixes that form adjectives, and suffixes that form verbs and adverbs. Again, word lists are included just as in the Prefix section. 7. As always, an editable version is included in PPT format so that you can customize to your heart’s content by adding your own text and graphics to these existing templates to use in your own classroom. *****Looking for a digital version?
