What Happens in Vegas, Isn’t Gonna Stay in Vegas!

July 14, 2014 by Wise Guys 13 Comments

What Happens in Vegas…

All I can say is, WOW! I just arrived home from Las Vegas!

What happens when you get over 600 teachers in one room together? One word can describe it for me: MAGIC!

I attended the 2014 TPT (teacherspayteachers) Conference and I have to say it was the best educational conference I ever attended by far! So many amazing people really showed me what has been missing in our Wise Guys marketing plan for the past four years.

When Eric and I started our Wise Guys store back in November of 2009 we were looking for a way to earn a little extra money for golf, during the summer. As months passed, and earnings increased, we realized that this was more than just a part-time job to earn money for our favorite hobby.

We knew that TPT was something special. It was allowing us to become more creative in our teaching and to be able to share that with educators across the nation and the world!

We were becoming Super Sellers! (I love that Team TPT included some males in the image below, courtesy of the TPT Keynote Address).

As Eric and I continued to create resources, we were finding that our passion for teaching was exploding as well. We sought out new and innovative ways to reach ALL of our students regardless of ability. We were having fun thinking of new teaching methods and activities that would spark a love of learning in our students.

So for the past five years we have been doing just that. But there was something missing from us. Yes, we have dabbled in blogging, Pinterest, Facebook, and Twitter.

But in reality, we had no clue how to use these amazing marketing tools to help grow our business even more. I am the first to admit it, we were terrible at this!

As we got leapfrogged in the top 10 list, we realized it was time to think about how to network and connect with other sellers and our customers. After all, we believed that we have some amazing resources that could benefit so many more students if we just knew the right way to do it.

Facebook has been a great place to connect with other sellers. Back in 2010 I created a facebook group titled “How to Increase Sales in TPT.” Many of today’s top sellers were (and maybe still are) members of this group.

The problem was, I did not have the skills or knowledge of how to do it myself so I sought out other sellers. But, I did not learn from them like I should. Instead this group kind of split and fractured off into other groups and many became Super Sellers.  🙂 

The picture below shows a few of those members as I was able to connect with them in Vegas. Amy from Science Stuff, myself, Rachelle Smith, Deanna Jump, Kristen from Secondary Solutions, and Tracey from Smart Chick.

We, unfortunately greatly missed Margaret Whisnant, Jason of PowerPoint Maniac, and Tracee Orman too for this meet up. This group has been like a second family to me over the past several years.

Collaboration and Networking


The number one takeaway from the TPT Conference was collaboration and networking. I learned so much in each session I went to. I wish the conference would’ve been at least two days.
So as another school year approaches, our #1 goal is to network with other sellers, and to work even harder at creating meaningful and relevant resources for teachers to use across the United States and world.

Next year, both of the Wise Guys plan on attending Las Vegas. I only got to meet a small handful of people this year, and that is my biggest regret. Both Eric and I want to connect with more of you!

We are both continually amazed at the tenacity, energy, and drive that the sellers of the TPT community has. It is that determination and spirit that will help us reach new levels this year.

I want to personally thank Paul, the founder of TPT. Without his vision and his passion, this unbelievable site never would have been created. Thousands of teacherprenuers never would have surfaced. It has changed our lives forever!

 

I also want to thank all of the TPT sellers that I met at the conference who made me feel welcome and part of something special! There are too many to list, but you know who you are!

The countdown is on for next year! I am already super excited to attend!

Screen Free Week! Disconnect Devices and Re-Connect with Family

April 22, 2014 by Wise Guys Leave a Comment

Screen Free Week


May 5-11, 2014 has been declared Screen-Free Week in which students are encouraged to turn off screens (TV, phones, computers, gaming devices, hand-held devices) that are used for entertainment purposes.

We love the idea! We have created a FREE resource that you can download and use with your students.

Below is the parent letter that we have included with the resource. It outlines the objective of Screen Free Week. It also has a place for a parent to sign pledging that their child will be screen free for a week.


Next is an idea sheet of other activities to do. Kids will need activities to keep them away from their electronic devices. There are so many good choices on this list. Read a book is our favorite. Make sure to take the time to do some of these activities with your children. Reconnect with them. They will be grown before you know it.


Then, there is a certificate of achievement as well! Celebrate with your class going screen free! Then challenge your students to limit their daily time with electronic devices. That human interaction and communication element is so important.


We hope you take advantage of this week and have your students explore other forms of entertainment besides screens!

Teaching about Native Americans and the Truth About Thanksgiving to Students

November 21, 2013 by Wise Guys 4 Comments

It's easy to get trapped in the misconceptions surrounding Thanksgiving and Native Americans! Here's some invaluable tips for covering the truth of both topics in the upper elementary classroom.

As a child, I was raised in a white, middle-class household. We did not live in a diverse area of central Wisconsin. In fact, I had never seen a non-white person in the city until I was a teenager. As a child, I had watched Westerns on TV, and often played Cowboys and Indians outside with my neighbors. It was common for my friends and I to get upset when we had to be the Indians.

When I attended elementary school, we did not really talk about Native Americans until Thanksgiving approached. I was taught by my teachers that the Pilgrims and Indians had this big feast together and that is why we celebrate Thanksgiving. I was under the impression that the Pilgrims shared their food with the Indians to be nice. I also made the assumption that because of the way the Indians dressed, as seen in drawings about the feast, they did not have a lot. 

It was not until when I became an elementary school teacher, did I take the time to educate myself about the struggles of Native Americans and the atrocities they went through during the formation of the United States. As an educator, my primary purpose in teaching social studies to my students, is so they can learn from the mistakes of the past, especially when it came to the treatment of the non-white groups living in the United States.

When teaching about Native Americans, I always ask my students the question, “What do you know about Native Americans?” I tell the students that I record all responses, whether they are right or not. It is amazing to see many misconceptions that still exist. I then share with them the below document and we discuss.

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Native-American-Cultures-Unit-Activity-Aligned-to-Common-Core-553682


After the discussion, I show them a youtube video about the stereotypes of Native Americans in the movies. You can find the link here. I use the think-pair-share strategy to have the students talk about what they saw, and how it made them feel about how Native Americans were portrayed on the big screen.


I then begin teaching my unit on the Native American tribes before European settlers came. I make sure my students know that there were thousands of unique tribes in America, but we study four different regions were there were certain commonalities. In the unit, the eight strands of social studies are covered.  There are over 50 pages of resources and activities. Take a look below at some samples from the Native American Cultures Unit.

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Native-American-Cultures-Unit-Activity-Aligned-to-Common-Core-553682


Then, of course, comes the discussion of Thanksgiving. After wondering about what actually happened before, during, and after the feast, I began to research this holiday that has become a day to give thanks nationwide. I uncovered a strained relation between the Pilgrims, new settlers, and Wampanoag after the gathering. I have created an informational text activity that takes a look at both the Pilgrims and Wampanoag’s viewpoints

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/History-Detectives-Pilgrims-vs-Native-American-Informational-Text-Activity-984704


If we are to learn from history, we have to uncover the truth and share it with our students. We have to move away from the eurocentric view of the world, to a view through all peoples’ lenses.

It's easy to get trapped in the misconceptions surrounding Thanksgiving and Native Americans! Here's some invaluable tips for covering the truth of both topics in the upper elementary classroom.

Top 5 Tips on Encountering Parents in a Public Setting

July 9, 2013 by Wise Guys 6 Comments

Adult and child by liftarn - An adult and a child walking holding hands. Based on a public domain Swedish road sign.

When I was a child, I can remember seeing my teachers out in public and being so excited to see them. I also remember my parents talking to the teachers as I was playing baseball or doing some other activity. I always wondered what they were talking about. Was it about me?

It wasn’t until I became a teacher when I realized that sometimes these chance encounters sometimes lead to uncomfortable discussions. Over the last 16 years of teaching I have had many different experiences with parents in public and as a result have developed my “Top 5 Tips on Running into Parents in Public.”

Top 5 Tips on Running into Parents in Public

Tip #1: Try to avoid talking about other children. 

Parents sometimes want to get “the dirt” on their child’s classmates and will ask questions that will make a teacher feel a bit uncomfortable. I often revert back to their child and give them tips on what their child can do instead of someone else. You should never discuss another student without that parent being involved in the discussion. It is like talking behind someone’s back.
Tip #2: Treat fellow teachers with the respect they deserve. 
If a parent asks about another teacher, ALWAYS stand up for your fellow educators. Even if you know that the educator may have some deficiencies, it is not your job to say if that person is effective or not in the classroom. That role belongs to the principal. Please avoid “baiting questions” that parents may try to use about other teachers. We need to support each other!

Tip #3: Praise the child no matter what! 

There have been times when I have encountered parents that are frustrated with their child. Whether it’s about not turning in homework or getting bad grades on tests- the parents are not happy. Always try to turn a situation into a positive one and offer tips on what the parents can do to help at home: establish a study/homework time each night, help review with your child, and check and sign the assignment notebook each day are some examples. The parents need to realize that yelling or being upset at their child is not going to help the situation.
 

Tip #4: Offer suggestions/advice for struggling students.

Many times parents will approach me and ask what they can do to help their child. This is opening a great door of communication with the parents. They are coming to you as an expert and trust your knowledge to best help their child. You know your craft, give them sound advice that will help their child succeed!

Tip #5: Do your best to not form outside school relationships with parents of the students you teach.  

In today’s world, it is tempting to “friend” a student’s mom or dad on Facebook, send a text message, or even use Apple Face Time, or Skype to communicate. These new technological advances are great, but it is important to maintain a professional relationship with them. Communication should be solely on their child. Try to keep a professional relationship with them.
 
This is not a final list by any means. Some of you may even disagree with some of the statements above. But remember, you are a professional and need to reflect that when you “run into” families in public.
If you have a tip that you would like to share about encountering parents in public, please comment!

Getting Reluctant Readers to Read in the Common Core Classroom

March 6, 2013 by Wise Guys Leave a Comment

 

All teachers have had those students that just don’t seem to like reading. Whether it be not reading at grade level, minimal exposure to books at home, or just a plain fear of reading, these students dread the words, “OK, it’s time for reading.” What can you do to help your reluctant readers overcome this hatred of reading? We hope you can use our top 5 tips that have helped our students love reading.

1. Allow Choice

Students must be allowed to have some time during the week to read what interests them. Whether it be a picture book, a car magazine, or even a comic book, allowing students some choice shows them that reading can be fun and enjoyable. We use The Daily Five in our classroom, and once a week we allow students to bring in the above-mentioned reading materials for one of our rotations. The students look forward to these times to read their “brain-break” books.

We also have our classroom libraries organized into categories to make it easier for students to find books that interest them. Categories such as: natural disasters, sports heroes, and animal stories, are incorporated with the more traditional groups such as: fantasy, realistic fiction, and biography to name a few. The books are in bins which make them more visible and more accessible to the students. See below for a picture from our classroom and a way to get our book bin labels as well by clicking on the book bin labels example.

2. Reading Contests

To inspire those reluctant readers to read outside of school, we created monthly reading logs. Students are given a reading log at the beginning of each month and set a goal. We usually tell the students that they should average about 20 minutes a night.

After they set a goal, they take the log home and keep track of their minutes each night. A parent/guardian then signs the log and it is brought back to school. If the student meets his/her goal we do a fun celebration called Pop a Top. Each student that reads on average 20 minutes a night, is able to bring in a drink of their choice. We count down 3-2-1 and then open the cans and bottles at the same time to make a cool noise.

We have awards made up too that states the person’s name, the month, and the number of minutes read. They like receiving the easy to make awards. Also, sometimes we allow students to bring in comic books, picture books, or other fun books to read on this day.

Many of you may wonder what about those students whose parents do not sign logs? We specifically send books home with those students and tell them to use the honor system with their minutes. Then we meet with them at school, discuss the books they read, and sign off on their logs.

If you click on the links you can access some of our reading logs to purchase if you’d like. March: Read Around America. April: Take Me Out to the Ball Game. and May: The Reading Rocket.

3. Fun Reading Strategy Activities

A big part of our reading instruction is teaching the reading strategies to the students. We do have a curriculum in place, but oftentimes the curriculum isn’t exciting or relevant to our students. So as a supplement to what we teach, we often do fun activities as well that still get the students thinking and talking about what they’ve read.

One activity that is fun is having the students create a name for a band, a play list of three songs, and design a CD cover based on a chapter read in a book. They love to do this, and it is amazing to see their creativity.

Sticky Notes

We have also used sticky notes for students to use in their books to mark: words they don’t know, questions that they have, predictions that they make, and other reading strategies. We actually have sticky notes on our class supply list at the beginning of the year for parents. Students love being able to mark up their books without actually writing in them!

Creating Apps


Another fun activity is having the students create apps on an iPod word document that we created. Students make the apps based on the book that they read. It is fun to see their creativity come out and their explanation of why they chose the apps that they did.

Connecting with the author and characters in the book is fun through a text messaging activity that we use. Students are able to use “text talk” to communicate with cell phones  based on the author and characters in the book.

We also use social networking to have students create a page based on a character in a story that they’ve read. They enjoy the creative part of this project, and it is fun to see who they add as friends and the comments that are left on their pages.

You can access these fun activities by clicking on the pictures.

4. Celebrate Books

We love to do read alouds in our classrooms. During these read alouds, we often do fun activities such as: turning off the lights during a part of the story that takes place at night, lighting a candle with the lights off and sitting in a circle, allowing the students to draw and color a picture related to the story, having the students read a page to the class, and using think-pair-share.

But probably our favorite activity is doing a 1/2 day or whole day celebration of the book that we read aloud to the class. For example, one of our favorite books to read aloud is Holes by Louis Sachar.

A Whole Day of Wholes

We do a Whole Day of Holes and the students love it! Our class becomes Camp Green Lake with water canteens, yellow spotted lizards, and even a treasure hunt to boot. Click on the below picture to find out in more detail what we do on this special day.

We have found that celebrating books that we have read out loud gets reluctant readers excited. They are more apt to try another book by that same author or a similar book from that genre.

5. Hold Special Events

Every day we hold guided reading groups where students are reading a book picked by the teacher. This is important to practice the reading strategies and to help students continue to improve their reading comprehension and fluency.

We also like to celebrate at least once a month by giving our students. It is a “day off” from guided reading groups. We call this day Daily 5 Choice Day.  Instead of just being able to do two choices, they now have three choices to pick from. It is amazing how many reluctant readers pick an additional read to self choice! They love having that extra time to read what they want!

Read Across America Day


Read Across America Day is obviously a big day in our classroom. We have students bring in Dr. Seuss books to read. We also do a few fun read alouds from his books. It is also important to do reading related activities throughout the day.

If there is the release of a movie that is based on a book, it is a great time to discuss the book with the class. We encourage students to read the book and compare it to the movie. Students often find that the book is way better than the movie. Great examples are: Bridge to Terabithia, Tuck Everlasting, and The Lightning Thief to name a few,

We hope that the above ideas can help get your reluctant readers more excited about reading! Please share any ideas that you have used in your classrooms too!

Mastering Multiplication Facts in the Classroom

February 27, 2013 by Wise Guys 3 Comments

How do I get my students to master their multiplication facts? If this is a question you have often asked yourself, we will give you 5 great ideas that will help your students be successful in your classroom. 


At the beginning of each year we do a multiplication inventory with our fifth grade class, and every year there are close to half the students that can not pass the inventory in the time allotted. This always makes us scratch our heads, because we know that multiplication is essential in doing division which is a major focus of 5th grade.

Practice!


There is no way around it. The students have to practice, practice, practice. It is like riding a bike or learning how to swim. It is very difficult and scary to begin, there are falls and panicky times along the way, but once the skill is learned it becomes second nature. Whether it be flash cards, a computer game, or any other method, time has to be spent reviewing the facts.

Instead of giving up, and moving on with our curriculum, we have developed many ideas and activities to help those students that have not yet mastered their facts. We hope you enjoy the top 5 tips that we use to help our students master the multiplication facts.

1. Tricks and Mnemonic Devices

I’m sure many of you have seen the 9s trick before. It is an amazingly simple trick that all the student needs is his hands. Take a look at the picture below.

The fifth finger is down which represents 5 x 9. Take a look at the fingers before (4) and the fingers after (5). There is your answer 45! Try another one yourself. Put your 7th finger down. There should be 6 fingers before and three fingers after (63)! this works all the way up to 9 x 9! Nines will no longer be a problem for your students!

Another strategy we use with struggling students is repeated addition. This is a simple way to reinforce that multiplication is related to addition, a skill that all of them should have. Start off small with a problem like 2 + 2 + 2 = 6 which is the same as 2 x 3 = 6.  If you get to a bigger problem such as 6 x 4, have them use the number that they can count easier with. So the problem would look like 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24. When you are able to relate multiplication to addition it is a familiar concept that students are more comfortable with.

Look for Patterns


We also teach students to look for and understand patterns. When multiplying two even numbers together you will always get an even answer. When multiplying two odd number together, you will always get an odd answer. We also go over the 5s, that when multiplying by this number the answer will always end in a 5 or 0. When multiplying any number by two it simply doubles the bigger number. There are many other patterns out there to discover as well.

Here is a FREE sheet that we have the students keep in their math folders to reference as well. 

2. Games

Who doesn’t love to play games? I know my students love it when I announce we are going to play a game in math. One that I love to use is Multiplication War. This is like the regular War card game. Each players gets half the deck. But instead of the high card taking the cards when flipped up, the students have to multiply the two cards together! If there is a tie, then they put two cards down and flip the third up. The winner then gets all the cards.

When we start playing this, I take out all the face cards. Each card represents it’s number and Aces = 1. I try to match students up based on the knowledge of their facts which makes the games more competitive. The students can either play until someone has all the cards, or for a time limit as well.

We have also developed Multiplication Game Boards that are designed for any of the facts. So if a pair of students is struggling on their 4s, they can play the game board together. If you have students that are doing well, you can give them the mixed envelope that has facts of 6s,7s, and 8s. Once again, we team students up based on ability so it is more enjoyable for the students. It’s also a great way for them to see which facts of each number they still need to practice. Click on the below picture to access the game boards.

Computer Games

We don’t go to the computer lab that often, but we have found a few online games that are suitable and fun for our students. Here is a favorite website with lots of games to choose from: http://www.multiplication.com/games Our students also like this one as well: http://www.fun4thebrain.com/mult.html.
It is a great break for the students and makes learning the facts fun as well!


3. Multiplication Raps and Rhymes

Many of my students are in to rap music. Making up a multiplication rap is a fun way for students to remember the facts. I even tried my talents at this with the 6s,7s, and 8s (the most troublesome for my students) as you can see below by clicking on the picture to access the FREE rap. If you can find a rhyme to use to help students learn the facts, I would definitely try it. Maybe even let them explore their creativity and make up their own!

4. Contests

After so many years of seeing students struggle, we developed some contests to try and inspire our classes to learn their facts. So often teachers put up a board in the room with everyone’s names and Xs by the facts that they pass. We have found that does not help the lowers students, but rather has the opposite effect. Students tend to give up, and even act out in class due to others teasing them or saying they are dumb.

Instead of this approach we made up a fun contest called The Great Multiplication Race. In this contest students are racing against themselves and not each other. Each student gets their own chart that they keep in their desk, and that is not displayed in the room. When students pass a level they move on to the next challenger like “The Fabulous Fours.”

When they pass all of the facts in one minute, they move onto 30 seconds. This is a great challenge to the advanced learners as well. This motivational program got our kids excited to do speed races without being graded or singled out for where they are.

Multiplication Money!

We also have used a Multiplication Money Contest with our students in different years. We know that not all students learn the same, so we came up with a unique contest that involves fake money that students earn and can use to purchase items in our class store. There are also rewards when the whole class passes each number. They really loved doing special class celebrations together to celebrate their achievements!

5. Real-Life Application

Tying real-life experiences to multiplication also helps the students understand why it is important to master the facts. We often use places that the students have gone to, and will go to in the future as examples. A great place to start is the grocery store. We talk about needing to buy 3 dozen eggs (3 x 12), two packs of gum with each pack having 6 ( 2 x 6), four twelve packs of soda (12 x 4) and so on. The students start to realize the importance.

Then we start talking about electronics! This is where they sit up more in their chairs and the doodling stops. We talk about items that matter to them such as: iTunes, mp3, and video games. An example would be: John (insert name of student) wanted to buy three albums (insert popular bands) on iTunes that each cost $8, how much would he have to spend? It is amazing to see how students will work harder to figure out this type of problem.

We have also used the topic of buying comic books or looking at collections (sports cards, stuffed animals…) and using multiplication for different scenarios as well. Making connections to their lives truly does make a difference.


We hope you were able to take at least one idea from our post to use in your classroom. If you have any great ideas, please share them as well!
