  3. Paragraphs for middle school sequence: teaching the Worktext in one, tWo, or three grade LeveLS In some middle schools, teachers will teach Paragraphs for Middle School: A Sentence-Composing Approach in one year in eighth grade. T o provide a sentence-composing curriculum for all three grades, middle schools may use the other two middle school sentence-composing worktexts for the other two grades: Sentence Composing for Middle School for sixth grade and Grammar for Middle School: A Sentence-Composing Approach for seventh grade. In other schools, Paragraphs for Middle School: A Sentence-Composing Approach can be divided across two or three grade levels. Below are divisions of the worktext for each year in a two-year or three-year plan.

  4. Here is the sequence for the story grammar book. Teaching Story Grammar in One or Two Grade Levels In some schools, teachers will teach the entire book in one grade level, chosen by the teachers of that grade level or mandated by the supervisory staff. In other schools, the book's contents could be easily divided across two grade levels, with this sug-gested sequence: TWO-YEAR PLAN—FIRST YEAR STORY GRAMMAR ....................................................................................................... 1 IMITATING STORY SENTENCES.................................................................................. 2 SENTENCE PARTS ...................................................................................................... 10 SUBJECTS AND PREDICATES ................................................................................. 10 TOOLS (Words, Phrases, Clauses) .......................................................................... 18 Reviewing Sentence Parts: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket ................................................................... 37 WRITING STORY SENTENCES (a bad character) ...................................................... 91 MEETING YOUR INVISIBLE TEACHERS ................................................................. 100 TWO-YEAR PLAN—SECOND YEAR STORY GRAMMAR ....................................................................................................... 1 IMITATING STORY SENTENCES (review) ................................................................... 2 SENTENCE POSITIONS .............................................................................................. 44 OPENER ................................................................................................................. 44 S-V SPLIT ............................................................................................................... 56 CLOSER ................................................................................................................. 70 Reviewing Sentence Positions: The End by Lemony Snicket ................................................................................. 83 WRITING STORY SENTENCES (a good character).................................................... 91 MEETING YOUR INVISIBLE TEACHERS .................................................................
  5. FYI I Just found the suggested sequence for elementary Killgallon books in the paragraphs for elem. school teacher guide. (Guide links are found on the heinemann site) It is as follows: TEACHING VARIOUS SENTENCE-COMPOSING WORKTEXTS ACROSS THREE GRADES In some elementary schools, teachers will teach Paragraphs for Elementary School: A Sentence-Composing Approach in one year. T o provide a sentence-composing curriculum for other grades, elementary schools may want the other elementary school sentence-composing worktexts for the other two grades: Sentence Composing for Elementary School and Story Grammar for Elementary School: A Sentence-Composing Approach. The best sequence for this approach across grades is to begin with Sentence Composing for Elementary School, followed by Story Grammar for Elementary School, ending with Paragraphs for Elementary School: A Sentence-Composing Approach. TEACHING THIS WORKTEXT ACROSS TWO GRADE LEVELS In other schools, Paragraphs for Elementary School: A Sentence-Composing Approach can be divided across two grade levels.

  6. Interactive quizzes--how adhd are you?? (Think buzzfeed?). Something to occupy kids so you can chat?
  7. I'd start with these assessments then go from there: letsgolearn.com
  8. I wish I'd gotten larger than 16g on my plus. iOS 8 leaves me 10.5g to spare. Grrrr.
  9. Love my plus. Hardly ever use my iPad anymore. It's like an iPad phone. My old 4 seems like a baby phone now and hard to manage.
  10. Boy on the wooden box (overdrive) Number the stars
  11. Walking foot? Tension adjust? Change needle? Other thing you can try is to move the needle down a hair. Unscrew it and lower it a millimeter and screw it tight. Sometimes that all you need to do to prevent skipping.
  12. We have one like the bongo one and everyone loves it, adults and neighbor kids included. Sometimes I have to hide it from neighbors bc it makes me nervous. You don't want to be hit in the shin by a novice.
  13. Provide time and appropriate books. As you read to him periodically point out phonic elements such as th sh, syllables etc. No need for formal lessons, just feed him good books. My ds read at 3yo and my other 2 at 4yo. This was our method.
  14. Our 8yo was just recently diagnosed ADHD via testing by a specialist. His working memory score was so low (82) compared to his other scores (116-148) and the psych said meds would help improve working memory. We have been doing 10 mg methylphenidate just weekday mornings and it has helped tremendously, not just with focus but his confidence and math interest has improved substantially. It's as if the medicine woke up part of his brain that was hidden. He was good at math before but now loves it. We are delighted by the improvements we have seen across the board. I was very resistant to meds and was trying to attack different variables first, but the working memory piece convinced me.
  15. Does this solve your problem? Can't get the link to work but check out photo math app. I just saw a video about it. I don't know if it works personally but it might solve the problem.
  16. Just found this. http://www.act.org/explore/ests/centers.html
