How do you organize student data?
I have several data recording sheets I purchased online to help me see each of my students' growth over time and keep those in a binder. How do you store and keep track of anecdotal notes or informal observations you make?
How do you effectively co-plan lessons with a co-teacher to ensure equal participation?
What are some of your favorite websites or publishers of early reading reader’s theater you love?
Do you have outdoor classroom or garden space at your school? How do you use the space and who cares for the space?
Just bought a copy of Beyond Pizza and Pies -- a professional book about fractions! I dove in yesterday and I'm already excited about what I'm learning.
Has anyone read this? What are your thoughts? Also any other good resources for helping 3rd-5th graders learn fractions? This is an area of weakness across our school!
How do you manage difficult parents that seem to blame teachers for their child's behavior and absences?
How do you decide what dramatic play areas to set up in your classroom and how do you choose what goes in them?
We had a late Reading Month celebration due to snow and ice storms followed by spring break. Last night we met with families and shared all kinds of fun reading and math alternatives to common board games. Here is the Google file with a few of the FILE FOLDER games we shared! Feel free to share them, print them etc!

How did you celebrate reading month with families this year?
How do you teach your students how to differentiate between main idea and summaries? I am a fourth grade teacher. We are struggling with the differences other than summaries are longer. The kids are struggling with writing their own main ideas in fiction.
How do you teach self assessment to students?
