"Costumes" Across Cultures
Core Connections
With Halloween just around the corner, students will soon start discussing their plans for this spooky holiday. Many students celebrate Halloween by dressing up and going around their neighborhood "trick-or-treating." With students' minds starting to focus on new ideas for different costumes, now would be the ideal time to teach them about "costumes" from different cultures.
Do You Have The Time?
Core Connections
Do you have the time? This is a question which is usually a challenge for the primary student; however it is a skill Kentucky core content says should be mastered by the end of primary and revisited at each grade level. Many students are being taught to tell time on a digital clock so telling time on an analog clock is a challenge.
Reading Recovery - “ Early Intervention That Works
Instructional Illuminations
by: Dawn Quillen, Ballard County Elementary School
"The dog is little." Most people can read this without any problems, but someone who struggles with reading can become frustrated after just a few words. In today's schools, there is a core reading program that classroom teachers use with all of their students. Struggling readers' learning needs can not be sufficiently met with just the core program. They need reading intervention in addition to the core in order to help them over come their struggles with reading. This intervention needs to occur early on in the student's educational career so that his/her reading skills do not stagnate and lead to an "I don't want to try" attitude.
