Introduction to Coordinate Graphing Introduce elementary students to coordinate graphing through seasonal coloring activities. The fall Jack-O-Lantern activity requires students to use the grid code and crayons or markers to create a jack-o-lantern on a blank 9x9 grid. The use of letters on the horizontal axis and numbers on the vertical axis introduces young students to coordinate pairs without the confusion of the standard (h,v) format. Notice that it is important that elementary students become accustomed to listing the horizontal coordinate first as this will transfer to the Cartesian coordinates they will use in later grades.

Kid Conversation Starters - All Pro Dad : All Pro Dad Sometimes being a dad is just tough. I recently had a real talk with my 8-year-old son about a kid who was trying to bully him. I don’t know if my advice was the best, but I believe it opened the door for deeper conversations in the future. You may be there, too. The time for a difficult conversation may be now.

Walk and talk med elever | ceciliabergentz Idag under engelsklektionen gick vi ut på gården och hade ”Walk and talk” i ca 30 min. Eleverna fick själva göra gruppindelningen utifrån ”hitta någon du känner dig trygg att prata engelska tillsammans med”. De delade upp sig i par eller i grupper om 3. Jag har haft eleverna i flera år nu och vet att de kan göra denna indelning under eget ansvar men detta måste du som lärare kanske styra upp så att alla hittar en kamrat. Det var samma grupper under hela passet men samtalsinnehållet varierade. Walk and talk är en perfekt uppgift som tränar flera olika förmågor i engelska samtidigt som aktuella ämnen kan tas upp. Här hittar du samtalskort: Walk and talk (21/8-15) Walk and talk II (27/8-15)
