    How to Teach Writing With a Focus on Revising & Editing: A Chat With Marianna Monheim of Creatively Comprehensive

    Welcome to episode 59 of the Upper Elementary Simplified podcast. In this episode, host Danna Rodebush chats with Marianna Monheim all about teaching revising and editing explicitly.
    Were you the kid who loved to write, and was a self-proclaimed author by the age of 10?  Or were you the kid who struggled to put pen to paper and organize your thoughts as they came out of your head?  Unfortunately a lot of students are discouraged by the writing process because we as teachers may not be offering them the instruction that they really need to be successful.  I recently had a chat with an expert in this topic and I am excited to share our conversation with you today…

    How You Can Turn Boring Math Into Engaging Math

    How You Can Turn Boring Math Into Engaging Math

    Are you in a battle with your math curriculum?  I’ve been there…you may be looking at the piles of math books that your district provided to you or you were told were the best of the best…and you’re thinking to yourself something along the lines of:
    How am I ever going to get my students to enjoy math? Or how can I possibly plan engaging whole group and small group lessons with the way this curriculum is organized? Or how am I going to properly assess my students and ensure that they reach mastery of grade level skills?  Whether you are already running a guided math classroom or if you have been thinking of giving a more structured approach to your math block a try, this episode is for you.  Especially if you are nodding your head to any of the questions I just asked.
    Today I am going to talk about how you can implement a guided math routine in your classroom even if you’re feeling limited by your boxed curriculum.
