I have purchased about 1300 quality books appropriate for grades 1-3 in the last 5 years. They are cataloged on a data base by title, author, theme, genre and reading level. This would be a gold mine for a new teacher or one changing grade levels as I did. Is there any venue for selling these materials and the computer files to another teacher through your website? If not, can you recommend a link?

I'm a first-year teacher in middle-school science. I'm having an awful struggle with classroom management involving a sizeable group of children who have been retained in the 7th grade. They are reticent, belligerent, disruptive, and disrespectful, and they are having adverse effects on their classmates. I've tried everything I can think of to engage them, or at least curb their inappropriate behavior, but I end up sending several fo them to the principal's office quite often. Please help!

How do I handle this with her--any suggestions?

I'm student teaching in a Middle School SDC and working one-on-one with a Down Syndrome girl. She's in 6th Grade and doesn't understand that when she gets to the end of one page in her seatwork book, she needs to raise her hand so that we can check her work. She ends up doing ten pages of work, most of which is wrong. I've thought of putting a sticker at the bottom of each page to remind her, but am not skilled enough yet to discover other techniques. I have taught her to raise her hand when she's finished and, while she will put her hand up when I ask "What do you do when you're done with your page?" and she will raise her hand...she just can't do it in practice. Any suggestions? I really need to reach her since she's in a large class and is falling through the cracks. Thank you!

I am a first year Severely Handicap teacher and I need some serious help!!!! I have plenty of ideas on what I want to teach in my classroom I just have no one to help me start a program. I am unsure of my baseline and what products to buy that will help my students be successful in all of the subjects that they need. Is there a good place to get ideas, a special education teachers schedule or even a starting point? My classroom was emptied out by the last teacher so I do not have any supplies or curriculum and I only have a $550.00 budget. My support providers are not a lot of help and I really really need help! Please e-mail me if you have any suggestions! Thank you!

The parents really want to see a lot of hands on projects/experiments/demonstrations. I really want the time spent to be meaningful and fun. Any ideas for good resources materials?

I teach a primary multiage class and have a student who's heavy into Clifford the Red Dog. Many years ago, I recall having a set of classroom rules with a "Clifford" theme and I've been trying to remember them to use with this little guy. All I can come up with so far is: "Did you wait your turn in line? - That's fine!" and "A cheerful loser is a hero, even if his team gets zero." Can anyone recall any of the other sayings/rules? Thanks in advance for your help.

Peter is a 9 year old boy who has just moved to our school after his parents split up.He his grandparents live nearby and look after his baby sister while mum goes to work. he goes to his grandparents after school. Peter has excellent vocab but poor reading skills his written work is limited. In math his achievement is above average and he enjoys individual problem solving. He plays on his own at recess. Peter prefers to work on his own at the computer when their is a choice of activities. What do I need to know to help him and promote learning and achievement? How do I motivate and what learning strategies should I use?

My "challenge" is this: how do i maintain control of a class of 30 5th graders in a classroom set up with the computers lining each wall (the student faces the wall). it was a nightmare last year.

I have used several great ideas from Teachers helping teachers since I found the site 3 years ago. Time to give something back. It’s a book which takes the puzzles I have been using for years and puts them in the form of a story and work book. My nine year-olds loved it. Check it out on my home page, “get-the-idea.net” and if you want to try it on your students, contact me at gunni@ismennt.is. I will save you the printing and puzzling together of the pages and send you a copy, which you can photocopy for your class.

I am a new PE teacher teaching at the elementary levels K-5. I would love to get some ideas for lessons, as well as talk with other PE teachers around the world. My goal is to have my class converse by e-mail to other children around the world. It would be so fun to have a pen pal from another country. We could find out what type of activities they are doing, and they could find out what we're doing as well. It would also be a step in the right direction towards multiculturalism.

I have created a great supplement for your Social Studies units on US History, Black History, Women's Studies, Immigration, Technology and more. The supplement was designed for 7th to 9th graders. Go to http://www.enovel.com/index.html and scroll down to The Journeys of Dennis and Eva LeBlanc. There are sample chapters to give you an idea of the quality of the material.

If you have time to check out the unit, whether fully or just briefly, I would be very grateful for critical feedback. I do not need endorsements but I would highly value complaints.

I have entered this unit in the EdNA Learning Quest Challenge, which will be judged on September 27 (my birthday!!!).

Do you have weel planned lessons, interesting activities, and still have students who want to manipulate your teaching time? I have found a great classroom management system that has changed my life for the better! It is so common sense, practical, and fun for the students. I have been told that this system is at work in grades 2-8 in the US, Canada and Australia. It is Called - Big Buck$: A Creative Discipline System. I got my copy from Amazon. I like it so much that I just felt that I had to share it with as many teachers as possilbe. Have a great year!!!

I would like to do a work experience in America (2 or 3 month), assist the teacher and get the high school spirit. I believe that a teacher of a foreign language should go abroad and experience the culture and mentality, even if it is not expected in the curriculum. I would be very glad if somebody is interessted in getting in touch with me and maybe help in finding a suitable High School. Thank you, Nina

I am not more smart because I have enough time to think through the test, I just have more time so I get more correct answers. The purpose of a exam is to test knowledge not "knowledge under presure", right? Please help me understand this!

I teach in a small, self-contained, special ed school (behavioral) and I am looking for ideas that our whole school (from 1-8th graders) can particpate in. Something along the lines of a peace or respect-related mini-unit, or art activity that can be done at the various levels and perhaps displayed in a central location.

I am looking for suggestions on ways to help my students adjust to these classes, ways teachers can accomadate these students in the special ed class and in the mainstream and also- suggestions for dealing with regular education teachers who see the word "special ed" and assume that the student should not be in their class at all. Suggestions from Regular ed teachers about what help they need would be appreciated. I get alot of complaints about the problems of special ed students in the mainstream but very little actual suggestions about what would help. Thanks!

Do you have any suggestions for helping at risk students become fluent readers? I need some fresh approaches to help students who get no support from home in this area. I have found that sending books or other materials home to read for practice to be futile. Perhaps you know of some proven researched strategies that I might try in the classroom for third grade students. Thanks

I don't like to be pressed for time. I want my room and files in order before the 22nd which is the first day of school. Any tips on what should be priority? I have printed out the Spec. Ed. pages already. Thanks. Just need more support/ideas to ease the nerves. I taught 8th grade LA for one year and then subbed for 2 looking for work. Thanks again. Hope to hear from someone. Colleen

Thank you for such a great site. I was very, very impressed.

Looking for bali hotels? Visiting the island of Bali is easy when you use the bali travel forum as you find good information / advise there. Indonesian tropical destinations include kuta bali hotels plus also sanur bali hotels. If you want something more exclusive for your holiday / vacation, you can try Bali Villas or even Nusa Dua Bali hotels. Personally, my favorites are Ubud Bali Hotels and also for real travel Bali Tours & Cruises

I am a middle school teacher. My studnets have to complete a Reading Log project, which consists of them reading 7 books over the course of the year. They complete a reading log sheet which their parents sign at the bottom and then they receive points. I collect these sheets and then it's on the next book. I feel as if some of the students are making up these summaries. Does anyone have an idea on how I could make these students more accountable for this project, without taking up more time?

This is my first year of teaching and I am extremly nervous, I just don't know what to do first. I have been preparing myself by reading the assigned summer reading, preparing letters to send to students and parents, organizing a classroom policy and reward system and, getting some materials that I know will be helpful. Orientation is not until the last week of August but I'm unsure about what I should do till then. When do I start going to school and prepping my classroom? My class is a 7th grade resource room, I will be teaching their language arts class and support, the other subject areas are an inclusion setting. All of your thoughts would be very helpful.

To "xlfkbyen" who didn't come to this site to meet freinds or to be asked to donate materials. This site, as far as I know, is open to all who want to help children. If we seek moral or spiritual help, if we seek to do a better job by asking for things we see our children need, we are teachers because we care about children. If you see something you do not wish to read, scroll down--perhaps later you will find something that meets YOUR needs, or a person YOU can help. We don't all have the same needs, or desires, or wants. Barbara

How many students do the ESL teachers work with at a time? Do they work in your room, in the hall, or in their own ESL room? Does the classroom teacher create the assignments, or do the ESL teachers create their tasks? What works best for classroom and ESL teachers?

This year we are going to have to combine half of the 6th grade with the 7th graders.

I think this is a wonderful site. I am looking forward to digging deeper. I have a nine week integrated lesson called "Hidden Treasures of the Cape Fear," my team created at a Teaching Academy this past summer. We live on the coast of North Carolina. Most of our kids do not know much about the rich history of our state. The students will be doing activites including Pirates, Lighthouses, shipwrecks, Civil War battlefield quad study, Aquarium field trip, Museum field trip, & tracking hurricanes. They will have guest speakers on the Civil War, an imitation pirate, & a meteorologist. They will read Treasure Island, keep a journal of reflection as a pirate, and produce tangible products such as lighthouses and pirate ships. We are very excited about this challenge. Email me any questions if anyone is interested in how it turns out. Thank you for your time.

Hello, I hope someone out there can help me with a small problem I have. I just completed my first year of teaching and I'm preparing myself for the second year. My problem I'm having has to do with my teaching subject. The subject I taught last year was 9th grade biology (which I loved), but I had to move to another school district this next year becasue of my commute everyday and now (this next year) I'm going to be teaching 7th grade science. I have no problem with the contenct of the subject, I just don't know what the curriculum is at my new district. It is a smaller district than my first district and my principal has told me just to follow the TEKS (if you teach in Texas, you know what that is). So, my question to anyone out there who can help...I desperatly need some help with 7th grade science curriculum (ex. what I need to be teaching from six weeks to six weeks), an outline format would be perfect?? I guess I'm only addressing this to the teachers of Texas because, by law, we have to follow the TEKS. Please, if anyone can help then just email me. Thanks...amanda

Hello all. There's a great website that offers parents and teachers of beginning readers a new approach to teach reading. It is neither a phonics or whole-language program; it can be used as the primary method to teach reading or complements either of the more standard systems. It may be worth trying. FREE 5-lesson demo and 45-day guarantee and costs much less than other popular programs. www.icanreadeasy.com

I'm trying to find examples of the use of student self-evaluation journals outside of ESL/EFL classrooms. I use the last 10-15 mins. of a 90 min. class to have the students write a self-evaluation of their study activities. The information they are required to provide is: name, date, learning goals for that class period, a self-evaluation of their mastery of that class's goals, what if anything was particularly enjoyable or distasteful, and any comments or questions the have for me on any subject. As this is an EFL class, responces are primarily concerned with grammar,pronunciation,vocabulary,and culture. The primary goal of this activity is to promote reflection on the lesson to aid retention of the studied materials, but it has also proven to be a good source of motovation, and a strong predictor of students with poor study habits (serious procrastinators are very likely to submit incomplete journal entries whereas studious but low level students nearly always submit complete entries. Do any of you teaching subjects other than ESL use this classroom exercise? And, if you do, where did you learn of it? Please send me an e-mail if you do some thing similar.

Dear colleagues teachers, Students’ and teachers’ exchange programs are widely spread all over the world but not here, in Neftekamsk (Bashkortostan, Russia) were I live. Although, I suppose, there is much of interest here for those of you, who would like to learn about educational system, level, teacher’s life and work style of Russian small towns. I think I could prepare an interesting program for an individual or small teachers’ group visit. Evidently, the visit of teachers of Art, Music, Science, Mathematics and English could be most sensible just because the language barrier could be easily overcome as the languages of these subjects are international. Writing to me, please, type as the subject line.

I have been running a pilot, providing my primary school children with bottled water, available on their tables during lesson time to aid concentration and prevent dehydration and associated problems. I now wish to run the project for all 350 pupils in the school. Does anyone have experience of such a scheme? Where did you get your bottles? How did you keep them clean etc? I'd love to hear your experiences. Thank you.

Hi. Greetings to this wonderful community of teachers. I am just starting to put together a unit on acculturation focusing on INDIA for Language Arts students. I teach grades 7 to 10 and have not yet decided which grade to design it for. If anyone has recommendations on folk tales, poems, short stories or films set in INDIA please share your ideas. Any referrals to great websites which could inform my planning would also be appreciated. If any teacher from INDIA reads this please write to me if you would be interested in setting up an e-mail exchange between our schools. To all those in Northern Hemisphere schools who've just started their school years, all the very best to you and your new students. Come to our school's website some day ... http://www.ogilvie.tased.edu.au/Webpage/OHS_English.html
