I can’t quite believe our magical first grade year has come to a close. I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed teaching Waldorf first grade. Over the course of the past few weeks, the first graders and I have gradually prepared ourselves for second grade. We’ve moved into our new classroom, we stitched […]
Now that 8th grade graduation is behind me, I’m starting to get all geared up for 1st grade. I’ve got just 3 weeks before my family and I head off for our big summer trip, so I’m wasting no time getting going on my summer prep. Years ago a former colleague of mine put together […]

In K-4, our curriculum is rich in experiential learning, actively engaging the student’s mind, body, and imagination.
We start our first language arts block on Monday, so this weekend I took some time to really solidify what we’re going to do during each of our language arts blocks and I’m feeling really good about the plan. By the way, if you’re looking at teaching 1st grade language arts anytime soon, you might […]

After my immensely popular tweet of these pictures: I figured I should blog about what we did for function notation in my class. We made this slider for our notebooks. The files can be found here. They are 3/page and 6/page with dotted lines where you need to cut. You will need to download into word for the files to be formatted correctly. We glued the top and bottom of the pink one down, so that the brown can slide. (Side note: 9th graders might need instruction and assistance with cutting the isolated slits on the brown one.) On the right side of our notebooks we worked through each different input value and simplified as much as we could. The next day we did a quiz-quiz-trade activity. This helped students gain confidence. After doing four problems quiz-quiz-trade style I gave them one to do individually and went around checking their work. I did a quadratic to make sure they were simplifying exponents BEFORE multiplying. If students didn't have it correct I could give them some quick feedback, they would fix it, and I would check it again. There's more to what we did (and are still doing), but that's all I feel like blogging about now. Thanks for all the encouragement via my tweet. It was amazing to see the power of twitter in that another teacher (in another country) took the idea and improved it and used it THE VERY NEXT DAY! My students all think I'm a super-star now and they are impressed that I had one idea of my own. It reminded me of what a blessing it is to be part of the #MTBoS! -Kathryn

This idea came from Sarah when I saw her quadratic formula template. I teach this topic a little different so I modified it to fit the method I use in the classroom. Below you will notice with more time I have changed these templates again to hopefully make them more understandable to my students.
