From Ditch That Textbook
"Interactive notebooks have taken lots of classrooms everywhere by storm. The idea: a central space where students can create, write and make meaning.
When they’re done well, students get that spark of excitement. Learning goes to a different level.
When they’re done poorly, it becomes worksheets glued to pages.
Interactive notebooks don’t have to go in paper notebooks, though.
This is why we've partnered with Matt Miller and Ditch that Textbook to give you a digital interactive notebook made in Canva that incorporates EduProtocols. It's a win-win!"
Adjectives are the words we use to modify nouns. هتDavid explains how, with the help of a bear.
This site offers instructional activities for irregular and high frequency words. Not all words use the most common phoneme-grapheme correspondences, but most words are at least partially decodable. Many words appear so frequently in text that children need to learn them before they have been taught the necessary phoneme-grapheme correspondences. The resources on this site provide a range of options for you to teach such words.
This is a 45 minute virtual field trip.
Learn about Canada’s ongoing human rights journey by engaging with Indigenous concepts of human rights and discovering how people have used and continue to use their voices and effective action to claim their rights. Our guides will take your students on an age‐appropriate and inspiring journey while helping them to see how these stories continue to be relevant and ongoing in Canada today. We’ll help your students walk away with a greater understanding of human rights and how the impacts of colonialism and racism continue to affect life in Canada.
Students will:
• Learn that human rights protections in Canada were fought for and won through the effective actions and voices of many groups and individuals.
• Experience exhibits and the inspiring Museum architecture as if they were at the Museum in person.
• Interact with a Museum guide and their classmates to deepen their understanding of equality and human rights.
• Engage in discussion, critical thinking and reflection on how colonialism and racism have ongoing impacts on the rights of people living in Canada today.

This video shows primary students using Chaining, an instructional practice found in the K-2 Reading Foundations Skills Block. This instruction practice gives students targeted instruction for analyzing and decoding words with particular spelling patterns. One grapheme is changed in each successive word, and students analyze the first word to determine how it has changed as they decode the next word. The teacher gives and students decode the first word. After decoding each of the words in the chain, the teacher has students spell the words from memory, which reinforces letter-sound connections and lets the teacher check for understanding. There are optional extensions. This instructional practice is used in Kindergarten and 1st grade.
