Entrance/Exit Tickets.... Use the ELD Slides !

The ELD slide decks, that are available for each unit, each grade provide a great opportunity to get a quick pulse on your students' understanding. I like to select the few I want my students to complete, print them smaller (something different & economical) and then pass them out as they enter or exit the classroom - my choice depending on my goal.


Attached is a step by step guide on locating the ELD slides & printing multiple cards on one page. ENJOY!

Teaching with a Twist .......Secret Lives of Objects

This is a collection of videos created by Studies Weekly that brings to life a time in history through an object, such as Abe Lincoln's hat or Susan B. Anthony's alligator purse.
