Learning, Comfort Zones, Engagement


Watch this video!
 
"Getting stuck is not a problem. Staying stuck
is. Good learners practice getting unstuck, and
here’s how: Turn that around — praise for
progress, don’t praise for perfection.”

 "At times of change, the learners are the ones who
will inherit the world, while the knowers will be beautifully
prepared for a world which no longer exists.”

TOOLBOX: Rhyme-A-Week


ABOUT A-Rhyme-A-Week 
The Rhyme-a-Week phonological
awareness program features 30 different nursery rhymes.
 

The phonograms or "rimes" emphasized in the program were
first identified by Richard Wylie & Donald Durrell in
1970. 


Examining a list of 1, 437 words commonly spoken
by children in primary grades
(Murphy, 1957), Wylie & Durrell
identified 37 rimes that accounted for nearly 500 words of Murphy's list.
 

In determining the order of rhymes and rimes to present weekly, 
they follow Fry's (1998) suggested consideration of frequency.


Happy Saturday!

TOOLBOX: Common Core Lesson


Army Officer Curtis Price interviews his 10-year-old daughter
Emily Price, at Storycorps' MobileBooth in Fort Bragg, NC.

Looking for authentic text, oral stories, or literature
that's both interesting and appropriate for Common Core lessons?
StoryCorps' Military Voices Initiative has just what you need.

The Military Voices Initiative amplifies the tales of people 
serving in the military through accounts from family
members or the men and women themselves. 
If you take advantage of them with your pupils, we–as a nation–are listening.
