Wearing Science

C is sporting our vocab shirt from our fall collection (first unit on Cells and Living Things.)

Domain-specific vocabulary (vocab that is specific to a particular area) is important to teach well.

Sometimes it is not the most fun to teach, soooooo...

we do vocab shirts!

I got the idea from an inservice that we had a couple of years ago.

During a unit of study, the kids use washable markers to draw/illustrate the target vocab words on a white shirt.

For days before a test, the kids take turns wearing the shirt.

They love this AND they remember the words so much better.

When we are done, I wash the shirt and we start again. Snap, snap, easy, peesy!

Hello there!
Welcome to Flying With the Frogs...a website highlighting all the wonderful activities that we do in third grade at Indian Trail Elementary School.

I have been teaching for 25 (!!!) years. You can say that I am a well-rounded teacher, as I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I have had the awesome opportunity to teach gifted students as well as ELL and special needs students.

I am an award winning teacher! I have the honor of being a 2016 state of Illinois Those Who Excel, Teacher of the Year finalist. I am in the top ten teachers in the state of Illinois!

I am passionate about teaching. I love to engage my students in a variety of differentiated activities and love to share them here with you!
