I created this Excel Workbook because I was having a hard time keeping track of specific student behavior totals. For example: how many times Johnny has not turned in his homework or failed a test. All I have to do is enter the date of the infraction in the correct cell and it keeps track of the totals for me. Whenever a parent comes in, or we have a student meeting, all I need to do is print the selected cells for the student and it gives me a comprehensive list of the problems this studen

My current best selling item is my bell work. I had been using the same format of bell work for the last 5 years.

Students will learn the difference between static and dynamic characters in this PowerPoint that utilizes classic Shel Silverstein poems. Students are asked to read 5 Shel SilverStein poems (and one story summary) and determine if the main character is static or dynamic and why.

Prezi is similar to a PowerPoint in that they are both presentation tools, but that is where their similarities end. Prezi Presentations are created on a "canvas" rather than on "slides". This helps to encourage focusing on combining text, pictures and video clips. Items on the canvas can be dragged, tilted, and zoomed to create an engaging look that really grabs students attention. Prezi Presentations are also FANTASTIC for hitting many learning styles at once (especially if you include video

I have been teaching writing for the past 8 years using a version of the Step-up-to-Writing program with great success. Step-up-to-Writing uses colors to teach the parts of a paragraph/essay.
