Try wearing a particular hat/scarf/ect, which will signal to your students that you are in a conference and cannot be disturbed. ~Judy Richards

Why are we trying to create lesson plans and then writing in accommodations/modifications? Shouldn’t we just write lesson plans which are all inclusive from the start.

Child “accessible” is better wording then easier or hard.

Try not to have children memorize facts, but rather find truths for themselves.

   43

-

   17

———

Do not say that you can’t take 7 away from 3 because it is possible to get negative numbers. 

Also do not say, “43 take away 17”

Try: “take 17 away from 43”   “43 minus 17”   or      ”43 subtract 17”

“Manipulatives should be tools NOT a crutch!” ~Judy Richards

Use a number line with the game “Mother May I” (make sure negatives are in place).

Something is:

·      To Easy

·      ZOD (zone of development)

·      To Difficult ATPIT (at this point in time)
