Teaching kids about freedom and keeping it simple.

Foster Freedom in Writer's Workshop

By Marypat Mahoney of Just Add Students

Giving students choice on what they write about and the mode in which it’s written puts the power back into students’ hands. Not only that, but in the real world — our students will be writing letters of complaint, business proposals, notes of condolence, emails to explain or convince, blog posts to explain opinions… the list goes on. So, how do we do that?

Stars & Stripes

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

When I think about July 4th, I think about our American Flag and what it represents. I asked my class what this day means to them. A young boy stated, “It’s when you get to see fireworks. This is one of the responses I expected, so I asked why do we have fireworks? He just shrugged his shoulders. Another student responded and said, “To celebrate our Independence from England.” Great answer I told him.

Music Across The Curriculum - Sharing is Caring Teacher Blogging Collaborative

5 Top Reasons to Use Music in The Classroom

By: Nikki Heiman, of Creative Inclusion

Explore the top 5 reasons that music is beneficial in the classroom and across the curriculum!

Incorporating Music in the Classroom

By: Kathie Yonemura, of Tried and True Teaching Tools

Music in the classroom is critical, even for the "non-musical"!! Use music as a learning tool, for classroom management, and setting the tone for classroom environment.

Music in The Classroom

By: Deann Marin, of Socrates Lantern

Music has always been very near and dear to me so this is a great topic to write about. From day one of my teaching career, I used music in my classroom. Even though I’m not a musician, by any means, I can plunk some notes on the piano, and play very rudimentary guitar chords and notes.
