Used this with my high school class after getting done with the body system. They were to show, draw, etc all the body systems.

This is a great resource. I only wish that your pages were formatted for half-sheet size to save paper for daily timed tests. Just an idea for future projects. :-)
May 6, 2013
TeachersRock60 (TpT Seller)
What a great idea. Thanks for the helpful suggestion. I'm all for saving paper. One thing about good ideas, there are so many of them. Stay tuned. I'll probably have that as an option in the very near future.

They just can't resist plagiarism sometimes can they? Of course I remember copying right out of the Encyclopedia to do my work back in the day. Now, I suppose it's cut & paste from Wikipedia. Thank you very much for you upbeat comment.

By then I will have upgraded the program to provide a basic "script" of the things to say. However, for now I use this very same word list. I've been teaching some version of this program for years now and am still amazed when nearly all students can sound out a big word such as "amalgamated" with a high degree of phonetic accuracy (quite often perfectly). Thank you so much for taking the time to note your positive impressions.
April 15, 2013
TeachersRock60 (TpT Seller)
I am very pleased that you like it. It was a lot of cumulative work over a lot of years but the approval of good teachers such as yourself is very gratifying. Thanks for taking the time to post your positive impression.

TeachersRock60 (TpT Seller)
The number of letters, suggested by a blank line for each letter, is also a subtle clue that the child has the correct word. However that assumes the child can spell which is certainly not a given at second grade! Thanks for taking the time to post the positive feedback. It is always appreciated.

Thanks so much for sharing! These were very helpful to my class as we just wrapped up a unit on data management and analysis.
April 6, 2013
TeachersRock60 (TpT Seller)
I'm glad to hear you found it useful. Getting enough massed practice in one place is harder in primary where there is primary level practice for fairly advanced ideas. (My district's current math program sometimes has as few as three problems a page. That's just not enough experience to master a new idea.) Thanks so much for taking the time to note your positive experience.

The students really get a thrill out of being to sound out the big words. They also seem to enjoy memorizing the "catchier" rules like "Drop the E when adding I-N-G." Thank you for taking the time to post your praise. I'm going to work on scripting it a bit this summer so stay tuned for an updated version. Meanwhile this is what I work with as well. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a positive comment. It is very much appreciated.

I'm sure that's due, in no small part, to your skills as a teacher. Good curriculum is the hands of an effective teacher such as yourself is a synergistic combination. I appreciate that, busy as you must be, you found time to note your praise. Thank you so very much. (Praise still thrills me as much as it does my students.) Also, as a seller, it's gratifying to know that one's work is having an impact beyond our own classrooms.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
There are no Questions for this store yet.
TEACHING EXPERIENCE
11 years elementary Subbed two years (prior to credential) at ALL levels K -> 12, even honors science nearly every day. 20 years experience creating useful working software as a hobby (if you see any software uploaded).
MY TEACHING STYLE
Direct Instruction (a LOT of overheard), also many test questions geared for state standards often (multiple choice) to teach how to "rule out". Also, 2nd graders love thematic packets to work on during appropriate seasons & holidays. I realized that if I carefully constructed packets students (even lowest readers) could SKIM back and fill in the blank lines. They make for good science and social studies units.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
My "shining moments" are daily when all my students are successful at units created by myself (thematic or otherwise).
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
Bachelors in Chemistry 4 years post graduate education (medical field) Of course, a teaching credential.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
- Nominated for "best teacher" (But shouldn't we all be?) Not enough of a "lounge lizard" to bother chasing the actual award (too busy doing this!). - hobbies - my grandchildren, creating curriculum, computer programming, photography, whitewater kayaking, and enjoying grandchildren. - Many peers have suggested that I distribute my (vast amount) of my own brand of curriculum. - Thanks for looking me up. Feel free to contact me at thescottguy@hotmail.com with any more detailed questions.
