Posted on May 21, 2012 by Erin Nelson

This week, we’ve created a new Printable Math Poster for your early childhood classroom.

This ‘All About Numbers‘ poster allows children to learn all the aspects of any number you choose – how it looks in numerical form, as a word, tallied up, and more!

We’ve designed this poster as an 11 x 17, allowing you to print it right from your school printer! Print a series so that children can see numbers lined up together or laminate the poster to allow it to be used again and again.

Product Review: Food Pyramid Pocket Chart

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Erin Nelson

Help students learn the main food groups and the importance of eating a well-balanced, healthy diet with the Food Pyramid Pocket Chart from National School Supply.

Product Description: This big, bright, colorful pocket chart is the perfect tool for teaching nutrition. The triangular shaped chart is divided into 6 different color sections for each of the food groups. A list of suggested activities is also included. Chart measures 30½” H x 31½” W at the bottom and has 8 transparent pockets for cards and grommets for hanging.

Product Manufacturer: Educator’s Resources

National School Supply Cost: From $21.19 (Retail: $24.99)

Pros: This learning tool is not only interactive, but also a great visual aid for informing children about a well-balanced diet.

Cons: Flash cards with examples of each food group are not included and need to be made in the classroom.

Best Uses: Great for classrooms of all ages! Fill up the chart with examples of each food group, or fill them up in relation to one another, showing students the percentage of each food group they should be eating daily. Another fun activity would be to have children write down their favorite foods and have them place them in the food group they think it belongs in.

Three Tips for Teachers to Help Students Finish the School Year Strong

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Erin Nelson

As the end of the school year rapidly approaches, students and teachers are excited for the upcoming summer. However, the end of the school year is usually one of the busiest, especially for high school students. Final exams, papers, end-of-the-year activities and graduation seem to fill the days and the thoughts of students. Here are a few tips from US News and World Report for keeping your highschoolers excited about the subject matter at the end of the school year:

1. Save the fun learning for spring – interactive activities are the best for the 4th quarter classroom.

2. Give students a choice – let students decide their final topic for papers or experiments.

3. Use the weather to your advantage – Get your class outside, studying plants, exploring nature and being generally active.

For more information, read the whole report here.
