Teaching Poetry In Upper Elementary

February 5, 2023 by Ashleigh | Leave a Comment

Many teachers wait until late winter or spring to begin teaching poetry, prose, and drama, and it's always a refreshing change of pace. I like to begin after I teach figurative language, because students have a reference point to relate to during instruction. In this post, I've

Teaching Figurative Language

January 29, 2023 by Ashleigh | Leave a Comment

We are moving into one of my favorite reading units of the year: poetry, prose, and drama. Within the unit, there is a heavy focus on figurative language and a small focus on reading for standardized test. I begin the unit with a brief overview of figurative language. Students

Writing Word Problems

January 15, 2023 by Ashleigh | Leave a Comment

Word problems have always been a challenge to students. I frequently see students immediately try to find a solution, rather than thinking about the meaning of the problem. They see a word problem and want to instantly grab the numbers and do something with them. Spoiler alert:

Teaching Factors and Multiples

September 18, 2022 by Ashleigh | 4 Comments

Teaching factors and multiples is not for the faint of heart. In fact, it is one of the most challenging concepts for students. A lot of that challenge stems from students not knowing their multiplication facts, but we can't skip that concept because of that lack of core or

Math Fact Fluency

September 5, 2022 by Ashleigh | Leave a Comment

While all students benefit from math fact fluency, students who have difficulty in math may need more experiences and instruction to reach a solid level of fluency and automaticity. Those experiences may need to be more explicit and focused to support students. This post
