Fun with Facts Workshop (mp3)

What sparks your students' interest may not be what's next in the curriculum. Learn to make the most of those special "teachable moments" using student almanacs and everyday reference resources. Organize the classroom to help kids integrate new learning into what they already know. Use games, puzzles, time lines, maps and passports to encourage independent learning, build confidence through early success and help children formulate a framework of knowledge that will serve them throughout life.
