Cahier interactif de mathématiques - Nombres et fractions

Si vous cherchez une façon créative d'exploiter les concepts mathématiques avec vos élèves, je vous recommande d'essayer les cahiers interactifs de math. 

Voici des exemples: 




Le côté droit du cahier est réservé aux leçons en grand groupe. Le modelage de l'enseignante se fait à ce moment. Les élèves peuvent y noter le vocabulaire important.

Le côté gauche du cahier est réservé à la pratique individuelle et créative de l'élève. C'est ici que l'élève démontre sa compréhension, à sa façon.  

Les élèves sont actifs en tout temps. Ils doivent découper, coller, colorier, décorer, démontrer, écrire, etc.

I'm so happy with my writing center. It includes everything you need to motivate your students to write everyday.  Sometimes, they just don't want to write a story. And that's okay. There are many options available that can help develop that skill.

Here's what my writing center looks like.

Where do you find time to exercise?

Full time mom...Full time wife...Full time teacher...But I still want to stay in shape and exercise. Each week, I try to schedule in my two favorite exercises: Yoga and Bootcamp.

I like the relaxation and concentration I get from Yoga and the intensity and Kick A.. workout I get from Bootcamp.

How do I do it? Well it's not always easy because I want to spend as much time as possible with my family.

So here's my secret:
 
First part:
I sit down with my husband every sunday night (just did that part) and plan my week. After all the meetings and kids sports, I then choose what days or nights I can workout. 

Second part:
Talk about it. Tell someone, anyone. I always inform my friends that I am going training on monday, thursday, saturday...for example.  

I try to exercise 3 to 4 times a week.  This helps me eat better and gives me energy.

RECAP:
PLAN your week and TALK about it.

You can do it!!!

Homemade Papier Mache recipe

If you're looking for an easy Papier Mache recipe, follow these steps:
- 1 cup of cold water
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 4 cups of boiling water 

1. Boil 4 cups of water.
2. While you are waiting for the boiling water, mix the flour and cold water together.
3. When the water starts boiling, add the flour/cold water mixture to the boiling water.
4. Stir, stir, stir...for 3 to 5 minutes. (If you don't stir, it will stick to the bottom!)
5. When it starts to thicken, remove and let it cool.  
DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO THICK BECAUSE IT WILL THICKEN WHEN IT COOLS DOWN. 
6. Regrigerate and use (you can keep it for 2 days)

HAVE FUN!


You can use it for any project. We made rain instruments with  recycled materials and papier mache. My students love this project.

My students then paint their rain instrument. 
We use the instrument for writing projects. (writing a song or a poem)
