Middle School French Science ~ Le cycle des roches Hey friends…as some of you might know…I fell down a flight of stairs (on my husbands birthday of all nights) and was put off work for a week due to a pretty bad concussion. While I am almost back to 100%, I still have some headaches! Usually after work or if I work too long on the computer. A lot of you have reached out by email or on social media wishing me well and I am very grateful for your well wishes… So, as I mentioned in my last post (HERE), we’ve been working our tails off to create a whole bunch of new products designed for&nbs ..read more

Math Task Cards are a versatile way to differentiate your math instruction. I’d like to start off today’s post by stating that I’m a huge fan of using Math Task Cards and really believe them to be a versatile way to differentiate your math instruction.

I simply pull the task cards from a bank of concepts that have already been made and ..read more

When it comes to teaching divisibility rules, I feel it’s super important to jump on it early in the school year. The reason is that it’s one of those concepts which really pops up throughout the year.

Now, I don’t spend a lot of time on it… but, I certainly do review it and continually talk about it all year long… Divisibility Rules isn’t just one lesson, but a series of little mini-lessons, activities, games and applications throughout the year. Realizing that the d ..read more

Une murale de mots …Ca fait bien longtemps que les enseignantes d’immersion utilisent ce que les ensignantes du côté anglais appelle un “Word wall”, autrement dit, une murale de mots ou encore un mur de mots dans la classe afin de travailler davantage en profondeur le vocabulaire. J’ai vu beaucoup de très beaux murs de mots sur Pinterest et plusieurs autre blogues et j’avais moi-même créé des produits de mur de mots avec le vocabulaire requis pour le 3e année immersion au Nouveau-Brunswick. LE PRINCIPE Un mur de mots est une collection de mots affichés dans la classe. En général, cet aff ..read more
