Are You in Kahoot(s) Yet?

by Charity Preston 4 Comments

Hey teaching friends!   Apparently I have been out of the loop, but this is the first time I have heard about this really cool assessment website from some other teacher friends and I thought maybe there was also at least one other person out there who might be in the same boat or stuck under […]

Puzzling Partner Groups

by Charity Preston Leave a Comment

I have a number of students who always want to work with the same people, some people that are actually fought over, and some people who are never chosen. I have tried a number of strategies, such as clock partners, but there is always someone missing...or a clock is filled out wrong...and it often takes too long. So,  I started using partner picking cards.

I have a great group of students again this year, great in so many ways. But, they are not so great at picking partner groups! I have a number of students who always want to work with the same people, some people that are actually fought over, and some people who are never chosen. I […]

Classroom Behavior Trackers

by Charity Preston 2 Comments

In my classroom, I use behavior trackers for a small group of students to help support them in making positive decisions throughout the school day.

I’m about half-way through the school year, and two weeks back from winter break. Behaviors I worked so hard to fix-up and manage are now creeping back after the time away. It’s time to bring back the behavior trackers and send those negative behaviors packing! Do you use behavior trackers to help reward positive student […]

Creating Purposeful Classroom Partnerships

I love when students learn from one another and I hear the buzz and hum of engaged learning conversations. When partnerships are successful, it's amazing what learning occurs!

I love when students learn from one another and I hear the buzz and hum of engaged learning conversations. When partnerships are successful, it’s amazing what learning occurs! It’s taken me awhile to adjust, and readjust how I form learning partnerships. In my classroom, I assign long-term partnerships in math, writing, and reading. These partners […]

Self-Awareness Chart

by Charity Preston Leave a Comment

Teaching and modeling social skills is so important because many kiddos come to school with a partially full "social toolbox."

I love this quote from Daniel Goleman, “If your emotional abilities aren’t in hand, if you don’t have self-awareness, if you are not able ego mange your distressing emotions, if you can’t have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart you are, you are not going to get very far.” This quote justifies the […]

Remember the Behavior ABCs

by Charity Preston 1 Comment

We all have great classroom management plans, but what happens when that plan doesn't work for a certain child?  Most of us have a few go to strategies that we attempt before asking for help or referring the child for discipline procedures. I want to share with you some ideas on how to recognize what is going on, so that you don't get stuck in a cycle of doing the same thing with the same results.

One of my favorite professors in college, James Jacobs, always said a quote that has stuck with me all these years.  He would say “If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always gotten.” This has been such a powerful statement for me to remember over the […]
