Psychologist Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has 4 stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational.
Lev Vygotsky's theory of child development, known as the sociocultural theory, emphasizes the importance of social interaction and cultural context in learning and cognitive development. Vygotsky proposed the concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), which is the gap between what a child can do independently and what they can achieve with guidance from a more knowledgeable person. He believed learning happens within this zone. Additionally, Vygotsky emphasized the importance of language in cognitive development, asserting that language is not just a tool for communication, but also a means of shaping thought. He argued that learning is a social process, and cognitive development is largely a result of social interactions. This perspective contrasts with Jean Piaget's theory, which suggests that cognitive development primarily comes from individual explorations.

Beyond just teaching academics, schools can foster students’ development in their relationships, identity, emotional skills, and overall well-being.
When you are creating a course, strive to design with the end in mind. After you have established a set of measurable learning objectives for your course, work to develop assessments that are aligned with your stated learning objectives. Think of the learning objectives as a set of skills, knowledge, or abilities that your students will be able to demonstrate a mastery of at the end of the course. Then consider the assessments as a way for the student to prove they are capable of that mastery. Let’s consider the following learning objective: Describe the seven steps of the research...

Would you like to decorate your classroom with fun, hand-drawn anchor charts/posters? Do you simply not have the time to get them done? Well, you have come to the perfect place! I love making these engaging and appealing anchor charts. I also can draw/create any other topic you would like, just contact me directly and ask! My students absolutely love these posters and references them every day. Many of them are visual learners, so the colorful images really help them connect and remember what they have learned. This particular anchor chart is for readers/writers practicing main idea. My students absolutely love the fun graphics/visuals. They help them remember the importance of main idea and how details of a text relate back to the main idea. **These will be copies unless asked otherwise for a custom poster. They are not laminated, and are printed on normal, anchor chart paper. I ship these out ASAP after being ordered, but please keep in mind once shipped, it is outside of my control. Therefore, if shipping does not meet your expectations, I highly encourage you to please reach out to me first, and we have always been able to work something out to make up for anything that may have occurred after I have sent your package, thanks so much!! Hope you love it :)

In a digital classroom, teachers can become worried that no ‘real learning’ is happening or that they’ve somehow failed to plan sufficiently.
Hello all! Isn't the beginning of the school year just crazy?! Has it always been this crazy?! This post is going to be a little long, because I feel like I have so much to catch up on! And I am using way too many exclamation points!!! Anyway..... Common Core really emphasizes digging deeper into the text. It's very hard to motivate students to do just that. It's a lot of work! This year, I decided to really push the fact that they have to be reading detectives. I thought this little book was great for teaching what detectives do in a fun and relatable way for them. We brainstormed what detectives do after reading the story. I knew they had to have something that made them feel like a detective. Last year, I made little badges for the different skills, but I found these super cute hat templates online for free! I just cut out the hat image and attached it to a sentence strip. You can find them {HERE}. Such a cute little resource and the kids LOVED them! Our comprehension skill this week was author's purpose. I am going to try to post the resources I use each week for reading on the blog. One resource I used was my own. I made several different author's purpose graphic organizer templates. One was a flap book. We used it with our anchor text for the week and talked about looking for text evidence to back up the author's purpose. They actually were all about it. I think the hats won them over! Here are some cute songs we used to learn about author's purpose. These are some of the resources I use to practice author's purpose. We also worked on the 4 types of sentences. These are some cute videos to use. And some more pics from our week. By the way, I am having trouble fitting everything from Journeys into one week. Are any of you? One teacher at our school is teaching the lesson for 6 days and then testing on the 7th. I am thinking about going to this, too. This past week was a 4 day week for our students and so is next week, so I am stretching out this week's lesson over both weeks. We also had our Back to School night this past week. We wrote our five whole brain rules using Angie's template from her David Learns the School Rules pack. I just constructed these pencils in a hurry from scrapbook paper. Her David craftivity is super cute! We made some other stuff, too, but of course I forgot to take a picture of it! Rayann saw this idea on Pinterest. So, I cut us out some letters with my Silhouette. I thought it turned out pretty cute! We have been working hard on vocabulary. Here is one making flash cards to help him remember his words. I have them draw a picture to help them learn and retain the meanings. I got these little accordion files in the Target Dollar Spot. They keep their vocabulary cards, letter tiles, math facts, incentive coupons, and any other flash cards in this. They can just pull it out when they have downtime and study. I think that's it! Thanks for sticking around for my rambling! Lol! Have a great long weekend!!!
