Character Counts: Resilience | Wisdom Wonder Project

Eliza 0 Comment

This month’s character trait, resilience, takes some nuanced practice to master. Because sometimes, we need a good cry when we fall. Sometimes, we need to embrace failure and our weaknesses. We don’t need to be strong all the time. This is also resilience, on the other side of the coin—finding strength in our own weakness or inability to do it all. But at first thought, being a person who cries when they are hurt feels counterintuitive to being resilient—definitely not the pull yourself up by the bootstraps brand anyway. To this effect, I like the way we define resilience, as the ability to recover strength, determination, spirit, flexibility, and good humor in the face of change, mistakes, and trials. Here the emphasis is recovery—resilience is *eventually* getting back up again, about not wallowing ad infinitum. This way of defining resilience gives space for staying down on the ground for

Really Cool DIY Crossbow Plans

This rustic birdhouse was constructed from an old pallet and other items of salvaged wood. The ends and backside items of the birdhouse had been lower from a cedar corner board eliminated throughout a reworking job, and I salvaged the milled side pieces from the railings of a cedar play set. Just a few slats from an old pallet supplied the roof pieces and door trim, and the metallic stars tacked to every of the ends are re-purposed Christmas ornaments.

My advice… Merely put all the stuff you’ll be storing within the shed exterior in the yard and prepare them the best way they might be hung, shelved, parked, or stored overhead in the rafters. For newly liberated empty nesters, that is the ideal opportunity to recoup a number of the extra funding that was incurred by buying or building that large household home. It is time to start searching … Read more

What are Evidence-Based Math Intervention Strategies?

Eliza 0 Comment
You may have heard the phrase “evidence-based” before since this buzzword gets thrown around in all types of fields, but what does it actually mean? We know from research that students with math learning disabilities struggle to understand concepts in the classroom. 

What are the best ways for you to help these students? In this blog post, I’ll explain what evidence-based math intervention strategies are and how they can be implemented in your classroom.

What is an Evidence-Based Math Intervention Strategy?

Evidence-based math intervention strategies are those which have been shown to work by experimentation or research. According to the Evidence Based Intervention Network, EBI are treatments that are likely to be effective in changing target behavior if implemented with integrity.

During the Tier 2 Instruction of the Response to Intervention process, all teachers should be using evidence-based intervention strategies instead of strategies that have not been proven to close learning

Planning for Pandemic Math Instructional Gaps

Eliza 0 Comment
Post pandemic planning is definitely NOT the same as pre-pandemic planning. The students are missing instruction from multiple grade levels in addition to the gaps that were there before the Pandemic.

As a result of the missing instructional content, the pacing of my lessons is off and how much content I can cover during one class period is sporadic. Some days depending on the content I can teach what I’ve actually planned for that day.

If you are anything like me, you’re looking for ways to cut down on your planning time by implementing a routine for planning. After four weeks of being in school, I’ve finally found three things that I must add to my planning in order for me to have a successful lesson.

Learning Deficit Support

The media and some educational gurus often refer to the pandemic learning deficits as learning loss. This is not the case.
