I like seeing all the new ideas and supplies that were not available a couple of years ago. I am really interested in the Pennies for the Planet Program.
I love love love the DEAR Day! Partly because I love Beverly Cleary, but also because I just plain love to read! And I love passing that passion onto my students!!
First of all I love the Differentiated Instruction Flip Chart and would like to add it to my school supplies. Next the other blogs are also very items to have . Please continue sending us all the lastest materials for our classrooms. Suzy
I have a Common Core flip chart from Mentoring Minds and LOVE it! Would love a differentiation flip chart as well!
Thanks I will be using the Dear Day resource. I love to have special celebration days in my classroom and here is a new one for me.
I would love to participate in the Drop Everything and Read day on April 12th with my kindergarten students. They love to read books.
I would love to win the differentiated instruction flip chart! What a super resource! Thank you….
I want to find and try out the Prang markers. I was just telling a mother of twins almost two years old about Prang crayons made of soy based material, which would be perfect for the twins as they like to eat crayons.
Okay, I’m biased, but I have to go with the Prang Challenge! My students were commenting yesterday about how much better the markers are because the yellow shows up on darker colored construction paper. And metallic watercolors!? Wow!
Foss Science is the best!!!
Differentiated Instruction flip chart from Mentoring Minds. This would be great to help with planning, now that we are implementing the Common Core Standards.
Teaching in a diverse classroom makes it a MUST to have differentiated material. By having differentiated instruction, it allows me to cover all areas of Blooms. One hat does not fit all. Integrating the differentiated flip chart would allow me to teach to the child not to the class.
I would love to win the Mentoring Minds Differentiated Instruction flip chart. I have a very wide range of abilities in my room including special needs children and I find it a challenge to always meet the needs of each of them. I would love a resource that can assist me in being a more effective teacher. Thank you.
I love the Foss kits! Science is not my strongest subject to teach, but the kits have everything you need and are very easy to use. I love how they allow students to dive deep into Science and are very hands-on!
I go with FOSS.
I want to try and find the Prang markers. I love the Pennies for the Planet Program, I am very interested in new ideas especially on how to help the environment. I am very interested in the FOSS Science website. Thank you for all the helpful resources and ideas that I can utilize in my classroom.
OMG! This is awesome- if only I could be so fortunate. I teach 26-30 4th grade students with inclusion in a moderate poverty area. My personal piggy bank has hit its own poverty level and yet there is so much they still need. This would be such a blessing in so many differnet areas. The Foss Science materials would be of great benefit to their understanding of abstract concepts. Prang- wonderful supplies for those forgetful children to leave the caps partially off, and who doesn’t need help with differentiation- I know I do! I love the fact that this is even offered- Amazing!
I have been eyeing the Differentiated Instruction flip chart from Mentoring Minds for a while now. I totally believe in differentiated teaching, timing is my big problem. I’m always looking for something to help me better time manage so ALL my students get the instruction they need.
The Pennies for the Planet campaign is a popular idea among students. I would love to check out the differentiated instruction flip chart. I plan to look into the Prang Challenge as well!
I totally need to win this chart! I could put it to use right now in my classroom. My students are all different and having the ideas and strategies in this chart, would make it much easier for me to find ways to differentiate and help them be successful with their learning!
I would love the differentiated instruction flip chart. I am always searching for new ideas and ways to manage groups.
My students have many learning styles and the strategy chart on differentiation would be god send to help all levels of learning in my classroom.
