Create an engaging and rigorous class novel unit with Interactive Notebooks. Here are some tips for designing for middle and high school students.
I think that many of the people who will eventually utilize my blog will be people who are working in a smaller or home environment, I am really geared toward you. You will be looking for the best stuff for the best price, and you will also want help in getting set up (I know that is what I wanted). I want to help you save money and spend wisely. Let's start at the VERY beginning. The following is a list of Traditional Primary Language Exercises Materials (these items go along with the Primary Scope and Sequence), and the BEST places to order them. The Following Materials Come From Montessori Outlet: Sandpaper Letters - Lowercase - Print Sandpaper Letters - Uppercase - Print 2 Boxes for the Sandpaper Letter Metal Insets Metal Inset Stands Box for Metal Inset Paper Metal Insets Tracing Tray Set of 11 Colored Pencil Holders (I do have another idea for these) Holder for 3 Pencils (you should get a few. If you are teaching just a few children, get one for each) Small Moveable Alphabet - Print, blue vowel & red consonant (this link for ones to make yourself) Small Movable Alphabet Box - Lower Case Letters Blank Green Boards Green Boards with Lines & Squares Green Boards with Double Lines & Squares Wooden Boards Green Boards Stand Lower Case Double Sandpaper Letters - Print (presented after the child has learned phonetic reading and blends - not all people feel these are necessary) Box for the Lower Case Double Sandpaper Letters Small Movable Alphabet - Print, red (I have put them later since they are used during later reading - These 2 sets of movable alphabets are used for the Green Reading Series) Small Movable Alphabet - Print, black 2 more Small Movable Alphabet Boxes (I have put them later since they are used during later reading) 2 Printed Alphabet Boxes - one for black and one for red letters. This link takes you to a file I have made of the Printed Alphabet Great Prices and replacement parts are my reasons for LOVING this place. You may be able to find some things cheeper, but you probably will not be able to find replacements when you need them. Not only that, but when you need to replace your item, you can turn them in for points toward purchases, and you get points for orders placed. Fabulous all around. * Paper for the metal insets is priced absurdly through any service. It is COMPLETELY worth it to take a ream of paper to the local copy shop and pay them to cut it to 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 for you. You will save at LEAST 50% NOTE: You will not see grammar materials on this list since the Primary Scope and Sequence I use goes through age 5 and not age 6. In my manuals for Language Exercises the only grammar presentations for children by age 5 are... The First Noun Game, The First Verb Game, and The First Preposition Game. None of these presentations require the Grammar Symbols. *More for older ages later. *For the Pink, Blue and Green Reading you will need A LOT of Phonetic Objects, Objects with Blends, and Objects containing Phonograms. I have gone to all kinds of places to find my objects. I have spent time at all the local thrift shops, at hobby and craft stores and I have found a couple of online places to order from. Montessori Services and Montessori 'N' Such are my favorites. The Following Items come from Montessori Services The Red Letter Alphabet Book - I truly love this book & it's blue number companion Writing Tray With Lid The following is a list with links to Downloadable Materials I have created: (if you are looking at this blog today, many of the links will not available yet. I still need to upload them) Directions for making Wall Charts with Pattern Montessori Designs for Coloring Directions for making Large Moveable Alphabet with Pattern (this pattern is the same as Wall Charts) Movable Alphabet Pattern Pink Boxes Levels 1-6 (level 1 is objects and Movable Alphabet) Phonetic Baskets Blue Boxes Levels 1-6 (level 1 is objects and Movable Alphabet) Large Phonetic Word Cards Phonetic Command Cards Phonetic Reading Booklets Green Boxes Levels 1-3 (level 1 is objects and Printed or Movable Alphabet) Printed Alphabet - Black and Red letters 18 Baskets Phonogram Word Booklets Phonogram Word Lists Phonogram Word Cards and Pictures Phonogram Sentence Strips Phonogram Reading Stories Montessori Reading Books Puzzle Words Non-phonetic Command Cards It bears noting that I do not use the Montessori Research and Development Language Arts Manual. I have used for years and years the Language Exercise Manual from the Santa Monica Montessori Institute. All manuals can be reconciled with each other when using the materials. I will be happy to answer any questions about materials that I can. This is a list of Other Exercises for Language I have made: Go-Go-Stop Writing Letter Wall Cards Letter Books Beginning Sound Matching Mats and Picture Cards Beginning Letter Sound 'Word Walls'

Visually-Stunning PowerPoint with Rock-Solid History! This 285 slide PowerPoint synthesizes just about everything you'd want out of a Protestant Reformation lesson into one presentation. The PowerPoint includes class notes, high resolution photographs, political cartoons, artwork and maps, dozens of primary source excerpts, and questions for classroom discussion. This PowerPoint could be used in its entirety or broken up into smaller presentations focused on Martin Luther, John Calvin, Henry VIII, the Thirty Years' War, among others Topics covered in this PowerPoint include: I. The Condition of the Catholic Church (c.1400-1517) II. Martin Luther and the Birth of the Protestant Reformation III. The Growth of the Protestant Reformation IV. The Catholic Reformation and the Counter Reformation V. The Wars of Religion VI. The Social Impact of the Protestant Reformation Too many PowerPoints offer one-dimensional, teacher-centric presentations that are more technologically inclined than blackboards and chalk but basically do the same thing. My PowerPoints are designed to add a three-dimensional quality to teaching history. In addition to the class notes, I include the images, primary and secondary sources, charts and graphs, and other material that you would want to use in your lesson. What this PowerPoint does is bring them all together in one coherent presentation. These presentations have taken years to refine but 17 years into my teaching career, it is these PowerPoints that keep me enthusiastically greeting every class I teach.

April 16, 2012 This session I will be teaching my fifth grade class. Unfortunately my sixth graders left and will be moving onto the middle school next year:( I will miss them greatly. What a good bunch of kids! April 15, 2012 Silkscreening T-shirts with a Social or Environmental Message! Miss Flegal and I cashed in on these stretcher bars we came upon and combined them with white organza fabric to make silkscreens! Students brought in their own t-shirts and used elmer's glue to create a resist. The exciting component about this project was the glow-in-the-dark printing ink I was able to find to make their shirts really special! March 21, 2012 Sixth grade silhouettes complete! Our art program has been getting so many positive comments about the front entrance of our building and these vibrant mosaic silhouettes. Using marbled paper that the students made and thinking about color choice that coincided with their action or movement was very important. Lastly, we incorporated a literacy element inspired by Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do you see? March 9, 2012 My sixth graders are back and we are working on life sized art projects combining two types of art we just looked at and learned a lot about-- silhouettes and mosaics. These were inspired by an installation art piece we did last year as an entire building. I cannot believe how cool these are looking! Our media for this project has included cardboard, black latex paint, various colors of construction paper, shaving cream and tempera paint for marbling, scissors and glue stick. The poses for the silhouettes were derived from the children themselves and interests they have both in and outside of school as well an energy or emotion they are trying to evoke. When all is said and done we are incorporating an element of Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear book. I can't wait to post more when they are finalized next week! December 2, 2011 This six week session I will be instructing my fifth grade class and will return to teaching fifth grade again in February. Stay tuned... November 11. 2011 Self Portraits in Chuck Close Style Students in sixth grade are integrating math skills by measuring and creating a grid for an exact self portrait drawing. This is the method that artist Chuck Close uses to create his portraits. After spending extensive time learning about his life-- he is my FAVORITE artist, we are now in the beginning stages of creation. So far, so good! November 4, 2011 Oh what a busy Friday! Students were busy glazing ocarinas as well as using acrylic paints to put finishing touches on their cubism Picasso sculptures. It was a great way to end a busy week and we will look forward to working in new art media next time. October 26, 2011 Pablo Picasso Sculptures in progress... Students are using some unconventional tools for their current sculptural project-- wood scraps, glue, wire and pantyhose. Yes, you heard me right. If your child has recently come home talking about using pantyhose as part of his art project, he is not lying to you. Here is what we have started in the past few days. October 19, 2011 Ocarinas We are trying our hand at constructing ocarinas out of clay. Students did extensive research online and here is what we have learned so far. The ocarina (/ɒkəˈriːnə/) is an ancient flute-like wind instrument.[1] Variations do exist, but a typical ocarina is an enclosed space with four to twelve finger holes and a mouthpiece that projects from the body. It is often ceramic, but other materials may also be used, such as plastic, wood, glass, clay, and metal. The ocarina belongs to a very old family of instruments, believed to date back to over 12,000 years.[2] Ocarina-type instruments have been of particular importance in Chinese and Mesoamerican cultures. For the Chinese, the instrument played an important role in their long history of song and dance. The ocarina has similar features to the Xun (塤), another important Chinese instrument (but is different in that Ocarina uses an internal duct, whereas Xun is blown across the outer edge.)[3] In Japan, the traditional ocarina is known as the tsuchibue (kanji: 土笛; literally "earthen flute"). Different expeditions to Mesoamerica, including the one conducted by Cortés, resulted in the introduction of the ocarina to the courts of Europe. Both the Mayans and Aztecs had produced versions of the ocarina, but it was the Aztecs who brought the song and dance to Europe that accompanied the ocarina. The ocarina went on to become popular in European communities as a toy instrument.[4][5] Its earliest use in Europe dates back to the 19th century in Budrio, a town near Bologna, Italy, where Giuseppe Donati transformed the ocarina from a toy, which only played a few notes, into a more comprehensive instrument (known as the first "classical" ocarinas). The word ocarina in the Bolognese dialect means "little goose." The earlier form was known in Europe as a gemshorn, which was made from animal horns of the Gemsbok. The ocarina was featured in the Nintendo video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, attracting a marked increase in interest and a dramatic rise in sales.[6][7] How an ocarina works: 1. Air enters through the windway 2. Air strikes the labium, producing sound 3. Air vibrates throughout the inside of the ocarina Covering and uncovering holes lowers and raises the pitch Source: Wikipedia Here are our ocarinas in progress... Let's hope they make music once they are come out of the kiln! October 17, 2011 After not having my sixth grade class for the first six weeks of this school year they are now occupying my room every morning for 45 minutes for the next six weeks. It is such a joy to have them and experience their growth since I last saw them as fifth graders. We started our time together with a pencil study called The Vanishing Snack. I adapted this from high school art teacher Mrs. Vogel of Field High School. My students as usual have risen to the challenge and are producing wonderful work. At each stage of their four part drawing, they are wrinkling a pop can and drawing it as well as all of its highlights and shadows in its new state. September 7, 2011 Because of our new six week schedule I will not see my sixth graders until October 10th! Stay tuned... June 1, 2011 Tile Triptychs in progress! Students in sixth grade are embarking on a triptych constructed of clay. A triptych is a three paneled piece of art that views as one continuous piece but is constructed in stages. This has been a great opportunity for them to learn about specific properties of clay and how to work with this medium from one class to the next, keeping it moist and workable. The students were expected to include text, an image and possibly a favorite verse that states something about themselves as an individual. April 21, 2011 Plaster Hands and Feet March 13, 2011 In sixth grade we have about three projects going on at once. One is our plaster hands and feet project that we started back in January. Here they are as works in progress.... January 31, 2011 Recently in sixth grade I set my students loose with plaster and these thoughts in mind. Below are the results so far. Once again, their minds, their thought processes and their creative journeys amaze me. I will keep blogging as their projects move along... Take a moment and think about all of the uses of your hands in the course of a day, the course of a hour or even a minute. For example list every way you can think of that you used your hands just this morning… -to brush your teeth -to eat your breakfast What do you think your hands can say about a person? Can they have polished nails? Wear certain rings? Does their appearance tell you a story? For example having wrinkles… Let’s think about some of those features. Next think about phrases that have the word hand in it… “hands of time” “helping hands” “clap your hands” “give me a hand” “lend a hand” “in good hands”… If you could compare your hand to another object of similar form what would that be? A growing tree branching out? Sunday, January 16, 2011 Don Drumm Inspired Endangered Animals Students in sixth grade studied the metal art works of local artisan Don Drumm and then decided to make a statement with their art. After doing some research about the current Endangered Species list they created these metal embossed pieces about animals of diminishing numbers. Next, by adding a statement, they could give the animal a voice to be heard. Won’t you do your part in raising awareness for some of these unknown creatures? Below is our display of the completed sixth grade Chuck Close inspired portraits. Chuck Close Self Portraits in Progress November 29, 2010 We are wrapping up our Chuck Close portraits and the end results are amazing. Not only are students manipulating charcoal very well to create various tones but they have mastered a likeness of their own face! Chuck Close Self Portraits November 15, 2010 Wow! It has been awhile since I have updated my sixth section of the blog. Students have been hard at work and are tackling difficult projects and techniques. Most recently we have begun working in Chuck Close grid style. You can see his work at http://www.chuckclose.coe.uh.edu/. He is my favorite artist. Using a grid, students have integrated math skills into their drawing by focusing on exact measurements for precision. Here are a few of their starts... Vanishing Snack Drawings October 14, 2010 Students in sixth grade are training their eyes to see close details through these altered still life drawings. They are working on drawing a pop can and then slowly crushing it until it becomes very minimal. At each stage they have to look closely at how their object has been changed and then try and draw it. Charcoal has aided them in learning about the value scale. They are beginning to see that with shadows some parts can be extremely dark and extremely light.

All of the Seven Sacraments are shown in this beautiful Victorian print. Excellent for catechism teaching or anywhere one would like a beautiful print like this. We think its looks better in the 11x14 size (the one Sue is holding), but both sizes look good. By the way, the Seven Sacraments instituted by Christ are Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. You could put this print in the cover of an album to keep sacrament certificates. The Catechism of the Catholic Church says: "The whole liturgical life of the Church revolves around the Eucharistic sacrifice and the sacraments." So they are really important! ** IMPORTANT ** THE IMAGE IS SMALLER THAN THE PAPER! There is a blank border around the image. Approximately 0.5" wide for 5x7, 1.3" for 8.5x11, 1.6" for 11x14, and 1.75" for 13x17 and 16x20. For the two poster sizes, 18x24 and 24x36, we use 0.5" borders. We do this because the ratio of the rectangle of the art almost never matches the rectangle of the paper, and if it did happen to match one size, it would not match the others. Most fine art printers do this because otherwise they’d have to crop the art or warp it to make it fit the paper. The border looks good. It gives the picture a faux matted appearance. There is almost always a little more border either on the left-right sides, or the top-bottom, depending on whether the ratio of the art is wider or taller than the paper. We make Archival Quality fine art prints: – Acid-free paper – Archival pigments – Cardboard backer for sizes 11x14 and less. – Above story of the art – Enclosed in a tight-fitting, crystal-clear bag. – Rated to last 200+ years without fading if kept dry and out of the direct sun.
