This weekend I am having my first contest giveaway – and it’s all because of Rock N Learn! Recently Rock N’ Learn sent me their ‘Sight Words’ DVD.

I can now add 1st and 5th grade vocabulary quizzes to that list! I wanted to share some sample quizzes with you, to […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Teach Hub and ‘Teach Me’

Rosshalde — Fri, 04 May 2012 00:32:19 +0000

I created a concept called ‘Teach Me’. Well, actually, once I explain it, I’m sure that this is something nearly every teacher, tutor, and parent does. I’m just the first one to give it an actual name. I have used this teaching tool as a classroom teacher and as a tutor. I have been asked […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Book Review: The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein

Rosshalde — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:14:44 +0000

I have always loved ‘The Giving Tree’ by Shel Silverstein. I thought it was sweet, kind, and, well.. giving. That is, until I was in graduate school. There, I had a professor that made our class take a second look at the characters and their actions in the book. The tree, for example, is a […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Always Contact A Lead

Rosshalde — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:01:00 +0000

A no is still a no until it’s a yes. Although I can’t recall who said that (maybe Donald Trump?) I do remember how it directly relates to the work that I do; specifically as it relates to replying to the dozens of emails and phone calls that I get. Being a small business owner […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Homeschooling Corner: Bringing the Magical World of Disney Home…Through Learning

Chelle McIntyre-Brewer — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:22:51 +0000

In Walt Disney’s mind, life was an opportunity for learning and giving back, which makes a trip to Disney an ample time to explore our world and learn while spending time with family. Just the history of the parks, in and of itself, is enough learning for months (trust me, I ordered every reference book […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Teacher 2 Teacher Blog: Book Review of Star Girl

Rosshalde — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 18:39:19 +0000

Last month I wrote a book review for another blog. It was a review of Star Girl by Jerry Spinelli. It was the first book I had ever read by Spinelli. I thought it was fantastic. Actually I thought it was so great, I finished it in less than a day. If you have read […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Student Story – T

Rosshalde — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 19:13:29 +0000

I couldn’t believe how something as simple as a multiplication table could make her happy. I knew it might be nice to be able to take it home, but how did it make her just so darn happy? But, alas, I’m getting ahead of myself. T was a petite, Caucasian girl with frizzy, wild, curly, […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Using Movies to Increase Student Learning

Meghan — Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:17:55 +0000

In the past, students looked forward to the end of literature units because they knew that after the final test was over the teacher would bring in the video version of the book and students would get a two day break to sleep, pass notes to friends, finish homework for other classes, or maybe (just […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...
