When we begin our Social Studies unit on Colonial America and the American Revolution, we start with an activity we call "Pockets of the Past." In this hands-on introduction to the 18th century, students act as historians or archeologists, examining artifacts and drawing conclusions. How can we tell if a person is a Patriot or Loyalist? A lady's pocket containing a hornbook for t. The kits ...

Thoughts about teaching and gifted education. Sunday, October 26, 2014. My 4th graders are enjoying their first forays into blogging. We began with several lessons on Internet safety and citizenship from Commonsense Media. Moving onto the Kidblog site, I had my students type up their favorite food posts onto their blogs. Most of their posts were not very long, which judging from last year, is typical for the beginning of the school year. After typing and publishing their posts, students read and ...Now w...

Thoughts about teaching and gifted education. Saturday, October 10, 2015. It's a new school year and a second year of Creative Problem Solving/Design Thinking. We started out with some of the same activities last year's class did, from the CPS book Big Tools for Young Thinkers. The class enjoyed the activities, made a strong start on collaborative brainstorming, and dipped their toes into out of the box ideas. Outside the box, here it is:.

Thoughts about teaching and gifted education. Monday, November 30, 2015. Assessment: Applying What You Know. In my last post, A Lively Debate and the founding of Jamestown.

Of course, there comes a time when we need to assess our students' learning and understanding. For Blood on the River. Think about the events in. And al...
