Lesson Planet

I like these music ideas much better than the traditional music of football playing in the background at our home. - Lesson Planet Home-schooling Guide

Mirla, Foreign languages are very relevant to the classroom and a great idea for an article. We don't currently have a foreign language teacher subject guide, but perhaps we could have our music guide do an aritcle on learning a foreign language through music. Thanks again for your suggestion. We'll see what we can do! And, as always you can search spanish lesson plans on www.lessonplanet.com. I just did a search and found 2,731 spanish language lesson plans.

Yes. I know that you have 2,731 spanish language lesson plans which are available with a paid subscription. My comment was because everyday I receive wonderful lesson plans about science, geography, social studies, etc...but I never get anything about foreign languages so if I receive something in the future it will give me an idea about the ... See Morequality of your Spanish Lesson Plans and I could get the subscription. I think Lesson Planet is excellent and eve though I don't teach those subjects I always read the lesson plans and try to adapt it to my foreign language class.
Thanks for your attention!

I loved this book!

We did this earlier this fall-- it was a great read, and I have access to a few foxes for the education programs I do. Book is great!

Thanks! Very interesting!

the lesson captured the attention of both my 5 year old and the 9 year old. I believe that this lesson is an excellent aid in the way our country was established and covers the why's

It's a great English and Art connection project

Thanks for the resources.

me, too.

Love geography! My children to. We are map fantatics. Especially historical ones. So, it becomes a geography lesson, civics lesson, history lesson. We have National Geo. from the late 1800's that we use with maps, read opinions of things in those areas during different time periods, and compare to the information we now have today. It makes it wonderfully fun!

Amen, Coretta!

great printable lesson plans!!!

Tina, are you a teacher in a public school or a home school teacher? I am a PS teacher, and have many PS teacher friends at other schools, and we all work hard to differentiate our teaching. Non of my teacher friends are striving for a cookie cutter experience in our classroom. I teach a basic + RSP group, as well as an honors group, and not only ... See Moredo I differentiate lessons between the two groups, but I also modify lessons in each class to fit the differing needs of students in one classroom.
Too often homeschool parents look down on ALL public schools, when in fact many of us PS teachers are busting our butts everyday to provide the kids the best possible learning.

I have 2 kids in PS & 1 at home. Many PS teachers do try really hard. Quite a few do not. My local PS sucks so hard you can hear it a mile away. The others are in magnet schools with some great teachers and some rather foul ones. Many times though it isn't the teachers at all. It's a combination of sorry administration that doesn't understand... See More kids and won't help teachers and parents, and parents who want a free pass for their special child "who has differences and therefore can't" do whatever, and a spoiled or lazy student who has been overprotected by a parent. Not every parent of a special needs child is that way, but I've known too many. And I understand you have to protect and fight for your kids. I've been fighting for my son since before he was born. His father wanted me to have an abortion. He was born with a cleft palate so didn't eat for his first 3 days. He had reflux and apnea so turned 1 month old at Brenner Children's hospital in Winston Salem NC. He was spoon fed milk for his first 5 months. He's had 10 surgeries in 15 years. He has fine motor tremors, gross motor problems, dysgraphia and dyspraxia and asperger's syndrome- an austism spectrum disorder- and has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in his hands and wrists. He also has ADHD and anxiety and depression. He takes 10 different medications daily. He isn't the one I home school. It is my overly complacent daughter with anxiety disorder. Not every PS fails, not every homeschool succeeds. It's just a matter of finding the right place for your child.

We are attending a Veterans Day Service being held at the national cemetery near my parents home. Also we will be spending time with my parents since my Dad is a veteran of US Air Force and fought in Vienam. My daughter always wants to spend time with him on Memorial Day and Veterans Day

Something people may want to consider to help honor our veterans is participate in a program like Wreaths Across America. They have a goal of making sure that all veterans who have passed away gets a wreath on their grave during Christmas Time. You can find them online and maybe find a group in your area who is participating in this project to help... See More raise funds for their group. My daughter's Civil Air Patrol squadron is doing this program. Not only does it help her squadron raise much needed funds for them, it helps the cadets do something to get people involve in honoring our veterans.
