Geography Centers, Grades 4-5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My children absolutely loved working on this! They made the centers themselves (laminated and all) and then could not wait to actually get started on them. To be able to work on their own the cover recommends 4-5th grade, but with a parent a 3rd grader could do several of them. There are 12 File Folder Centers. Titles include...The Fifty States; Regions of the U.S.; North America Quiz; A World Puzzle; Mystery Countries; Looking at the Globe; Parts of a Map; Kinds of Maps; A Map Grid; Landfforms on Earth; Bodies of Water; and Time Zones of the U.S. There is a direction page to tape to the back of the folder (this tells how to make the center and has the directions for completeing that particular center); a cover for the front, full color materials for each center; reproducible record sheets; and a self-checking answer key.
I have used (too) many different map skills books trying to find one that they wouldn't get bored with. Well, I found it and this is it. Each folder offers a different way to learn the topic. I can't say enough about this book. I just wish I had found it before I wasted money on others. Buy it and your children will beg to do geography.

Literacy Strategies Across the Subject Areas (2nd Edition) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have been teaching for over 10 years now and feel this is a must have resource for all teachers or those studying to become a teacher. It provides wonderful reading strategies that encompass all grades and can be adapted to different subject areas. Each strategy in concisely explained without all the extra verbage that so often confuse and turn educators off from implementing them in the classroom.

This process-oriented workbook offers over 25 reproducible student activity pages supported by extensive pedagogical strategies, for K-12 literacy teachers. Typical product-oriented workbooks offer little guidance or explanation to students or teachers. In Literacy Strategies Across the Subject Areas, teachers are shown numerous K-12 instructional strategies for engaging students using blackline masters. The second edition features more examples from the secondary level, and more incorporation of technology and of diverse learners.

Take It to Your Seat Math Centers, Grades K-1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The take it to your seat books have all been great & the kids seem to especially enjoy this one. I needed something hands-on for my 6 year old but my 4.5 year old just loves the activities as well. There are 14 different activities inside, quite easy to just tear out & prepare. I used brown paper bage to glue each cover to, the instructions I glued on the back of the bag and placed the cut out material for the activity inside. I put the whole lot in a free choice box for them to choose from and I find them regularly pulling out several of the bags to do - they really enjoy them and it reinforces the maths concept in a concrete way. The illustrations are attractive and a good size. My eldest really likes the self-check answer gauges on the back of each game & it frees me up to do other things if needed. I prepared the whole book of activities in one afternoon. Well worth the money and have bought more from the series.

Take It to Your Seat Literacy Centers, Grades K-1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Definitely worth the money! All the time we spend as teachers, coloring, cutting out, and creating activities is done and bound in a book for us! All you have to do is cut the pieces out! Plus there's an assessment piece with each activity which allows you to check up on students who are working independently!

Take It to Your Seat Literacy Centers, Grades 4-5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just what I needed to revamp my classroom. This is the first time I have taught in literacy centers, and this book is an immense help. There is so much out there for primary grades and literacy groups...but not for intermiediate grades. Took a while to put it all together, but hopefully, it will last me for years. Many thanks.
