The next site is better, but sill needs careful consideration.]]>Printable Teacher Resourcesfr8rFri, 25 May 2007 13:57:42 -0700trailfire:markId:102556http://trailfire.com/fr8r/marks/102850

Again, sift through the materials.  There are some nice materials on the senses for second grade.  Also try the Tommy Tales Adventure and printable books.  If you think about it a minute, you can delete the text in these eight page books (two sheets of paper printed on both sides) and have the children write their own using the pictures as guides.  Then, you probably will figure out that you can delete the pictures and words, paste in your own pictures, and provide a nice writing prompt. 

The lesson here is that these materials are starting places, not destinations.

What to view another site? ]]>Printable Teacher Resourcesfr8rFri, 25 May 2007 13:58:03 -0700trailfire:markId:102850http://trailfire.com/fr8r/marks/102853
For HIGH QUALITY materials, we are now jumping to Stanford University and some "how to learn" pages...]]>Printable Teacher Resourcesfr8rFri, 25 May 2007 09:54:41 -0700trailfire:markId:102853http://trailfire.com/fr8r/marks/102854
Note the section entitled the Cornell Method for taking notes.  As an undergraduate a hundred years ago or so, I took notes in a very similar fashion although I had never heard of the Cornell Method (if it even existed then).

The first five are "must gives" to any student in an AP or advanced class in secondary school.  I probably will add them to our materials!

And now for something entirely different...]]>Printable Teacher Resourcesfr8rFri, 25 May 2007 09:58:44 -0700trailfire:markId:102854http://trailfire.com/fr8r/marks/102915
Of special interest is the page page on difficulty behaviors.  Rather than have you try to find it (the link should be immediately above this box), I have used the next Trailfire path to take you to it.


See you there.]]>Printable Teacher Resourcesfr8rFri, 25 May 2007 14:00:08 -0700trailfire:markId:102915http://trailfire.com/fr8r/marks/102916
Please notice that the strategies presented are completely in line with our class strategies.  These are versions of the basic strategy of inviting students to rejoin the group productively.

One more trail and you'll be off and running on your own adventure or going back to your bookmarks to explore the sites visited.]]>Printable Teacher Resourcesfr8rFri, 25 May 2007 12:43:13 -0700trailfire:markId:102916http://trailfire.com/fr8r/marks/102917
This site is the venerable "freebie" venue.  Many companies opt to advertise with learning materials.  ARAMCO use to send comprehensive kits to learn about Saudi Arabia in the 50's and patterned a mild propaganda program that's 95% educational and 5% with the message "we are nice folks to do business with."  In any case, the range is infinite.  (Poloroid went through a phase where they gave away a camera, three boxes of film, and a teacher's guide to using images in traditional curriculum topics.)

Enjoy, explore, AND
DON'T FORGET THAT THE Bb SITE HAS A LONG FILE OF TEMPLATES (OVER A HUNDRED) OF DOCUMENTS FOR THE CLASSROOM.  Download it now for use later.
