Teachers, have you ever had a student in your classroom who seems to raise his hand to answer every question, or ask very difficult to answer questions? Perhaps that student shows signs of having an incredible memory. But maybe, just maybe, he is the only student in your class that can't tie his own shoes. What is wrong with this student you may ask? Well, maybe there is nothing wrong. Perhaps he is gifted. Giftedness can be many things, but often the student has asynchronous development. Shoe tying may not be as important to him as a mathematical concept. Therefore, he is not interested in learning to tie his shoes. At some point, however, he will see the need to learn how to tie shoes, and he will learn it with ease. From my experience, the students who are gifted underachievers are often overlooked by the school system. They are not "teacher- pleasers", but have skyrocket test scores. It is very crucial these students get encouragement to perform their best...

Do you desire to stay home with your children, while they are small? I did. But I had no idea how I could accomplish such an impossibility. I had bills...house payment, school loans, etc. I had worked to become a professional...I am a teacher. Although teachers don't make nearly as much money as others in the corporate world, I just didn't know how I could give up the job to stay with my little ones. I desired, so much, to see each and every step they took. Sure they were getting great childcare, but it wasn't me giving it to them. I wanted to be the one who experienced magic moments with them! In this product, I explain how I went from being a teacher at a public school to owning my own home daycare. If you like caring for children, along with your own, then this product may give you guidance. I am not claiming or promising that it will miraculously allow you to change careers, but it may help guide you in a new direction. I was able to do it, and I believe ot...

I love children's literature, and teaching with novels is a wonderful experience for everyone involved! That's why I still enjoy teaching by using the vocabulary that students find in novels. What better way to learn words than by actually using them! That's why I created a Number the Stars Word Find. I can use it as a "bell ringer," center activity, or for teacher directed/group instruction. I hope you and your students will enjoy as well! Click Here

Last time, I talked about how I think sponsoring Chess Club was very interesting to students, as well as, educational. It has an element of intrigue. It encourages the mind to think through difficult problems. Students really like it, and many of my students became very successful. I would like to take time to encourage you to use educational games in the classroom. A math learning center with some dominoes, dice, and playing cards could be very educational. You have to train students to use the center. Have written directions to achieve the outcomes of learning. Perhaps students will add, subtract, or multiply the numbers on the dominoes, dice, and playing cards. Students may even develop their own learning games!
