Freebie for Teaching Decimal Multiplication

One of the most searched for subjects on my blog is for decimal operations. We just finished with decimal multiplication, so I thought I'd share with you how I teach it. This link it to a blog post and a freebie to help you teach the number sense of decimal multiplication. The freebie is a 10 x 10 grid with example to work with your class. I hope you enjoy it and can put it to use. 

 

 

Seasonal Brain Breaks

Brain research tells us that students need to move.  Experience tells us that students need to move.  Teachers have been working in Brain Breaks for years.  Now there is scientific evidence about how important these brain breaks are!

With little ones, I try to squeeze in frequent brain breaks, and I often try to make these breaks somehow connected to what's going on so the learning continues.
 

After each brain break, they are focused and ready to get back to work.  That's just what you'd want from a brain break!  It doesn't hurt if there are a few giggles in there, too!

Come learn more about seasonal brain breaks on my blog at Elementary Matters.

HoJo is All About Halloween!

My favorite holiday has to be Halloween!

Back in high school we would do a full-out haunted house at the school, and I was always one of the masterminds behind it. We had several levels of spookiness - little kid, average, and crazy! Many parents went for the little kid one because they knew how scary it could be! Imagine going through a locker maze in a bed of steam when a guy with a REAL chainsaw (chain removed!) jumps out right in front of you! Needless to say it was a good time. :)

But that's off topic...

While I know many teachers aren't allowed to do anything Halloween related, I still wanted to create a post of wonderful Halloween freebies for those of us who can celebrate Halloween.

Click on the "boo" picture below to go check out all of the great K-6 freebies I've compiled!

 

Thanks for letting me share some of my Halloween story with you!

I hope to see you again soon!
