Writing on the plane is a pain…..
• Some children have difficulty transferring what they see on a vertical plane to a horizontal plane.– Some teachers assume the
students are being lazy.
• I used to type out whatever was on the board and I told the students to decide which worked best for them.– Within a few weeks, I knew how
many copies I needed to make each day.

Spelling• Michenbaum’s 5-step Cognitive Learning Theory
– Step One: The teacher voices and demonstrates the concept
– Step Two: The teacher voices the concept while the students demonstrate on individual boards
– Step Three: The students voice and demonstrate the concept on individual boards
– Step Four: The students whisper and demonstrate the concept on individual boards
– Step Five: The students think and demonstrate the concept on paper or boards.

Kinesthetic Activities
Connect visual and auditory
• Take an ordinary rubber ball and a permanent marking pen.
• Divide the ball into sections.• Write questions all over the
ball.• The students toss the ball and
where their right thumb lands- that is the question they must answer.
• The child can “phone” a friend if needed.
• The student then chooses to toss the ball to someone else.

1. The way you used
personification in this story really
helped me visualize the
setting.
2. The spacing of your cursive handwriting
really made it easy for me to
read.
3. The action words you chose made the climax of the
story very pivotal.
I wish you’d add some more detail describing the main
characters. Way to go, I can’t wait to
read it again.

mythical creatures, state symbols, and land facts. There is a mythical creature called a jayhawk. The jayhawk is the mascot of the University of Kansas. The state flower is the sunflower. The state bird is the meadowlark. The main crop grown in Kansas is wheat. The geographical center of the United States is in Kansas. I learned some interesting facts about Kansas.
