Nicole Stanewich replied to ALYSON CARROLL's discussion 'Chapter 8- Einstein Never Used Flashlights' in the group Somers Point Teachers
I think an important idea that this book repeatedly mentions is the importance that homelife is key to success. Since many of our students don't have a strong homelife, it makes our job that much harder.
I had a few students this year who had…
Nicole Stanewich replied to Susan Dugan's discussion 'Chapter 7: Who Am I' in the group Somers Point Teachers
I too have had students with emotional outbursts that "hold the classroom hostage". It is very tiring to handle these situations, but like Nicole M said you have to remember that they are only 5 or 6 and probably come from homes that do…
Nicole Stanewich replied to Kristie Leonard's discussion 'Einstein Never Used Flash Cards Ch 6 The Quest to Define Intelligence' in the group Somers Point Teachers
Kristie mentioned that many of our students come to school without a set of tools that are necessary to function. I think we all see this vicious cycle in our classrooms. The book states, "What is it about poverty that's so damaging? The…
Nicole Stanewich replied to Nicole Medvedik's discussion 'Chapter 6 Einstein Never Used Flash Cards' in the group Somers Point Teachers

Nicole Stanewich replied to Lindsay Francese's discussion 'Einstien Never Used Flash Cards Ch. 4 Language the Power of Babble' in the group Somers Point Teachers

Nicole Stanewich replied to Jane Leonardo's discussion 'Einstein Never Used Flashcards...Chapter 3. Playing with numbers, How children learn about Quantity' in the group Somers Point Teachers
The hands on approach is definately the way to go with math at this age. It's so funny that when students are working in math centers (graphing, measuring, counting, sorting) they do not even realize they are doing work. They think it is so…
Nicole Stanewich replied to Susan Dugan's discussion 'Einstein Didn't Use Flashcards' in the group Somers Point Teachers
I agree that play is very important in early childhood. In my class, I have 3 ESL students. During Choice Centers I see them gain so much language by listening to and trying to converse with their peers. On page 9 the author states "time in…
Nicole Stanewich replied to Jennifer Luff's discussion 'Kindergarten Writing Rubrics' in the group Somers Point Teachers
I think the star writers document is great! It shows the students what we will be looking for in their writing.
I also think the conferences should be private, like Jane said, if we are giving our "stars". I think the lower students will…
