The Basal Alignment Project offers: A library of revised lessons for common Basal reading series (3rd-5th grades), each carefully aligned to the CCSS. Each new lesson includes quality text-dependent questions, improved tasks, and a focus on academic vocabulary. Text Dependent questions -- 3rd-5th grades for Harcourt Trophies There's also a 6th-8th grade group too. These groups rewrite the questions of the book. -- We can always look at the quality and bump it up if needed. But, much of the work is done as a starting point.  Just join on Edmodo using the codes listed on these pages.

6th grade teachers (and whomever else wants to join) chat about learning. During discussion they decided to visit each others blogs to give feedback on blog. If interested sign up on wiki (see @mr_avery). All you need to do is visit other blogs too because they want to hear your opinion too. PS Loved seeing one of our AJUSD peeps involved. =)

"Take the biggest (and the smallest) table challenge: This whole-class geometry lesson gives students a new perspective on area and perimeter. Covers Common Core practice and content standards." -- 6th Grade video example It brings the connection of perimeter and area to life and incorporates critical thinking with a real life scenario.

Mr. Avery is starting this up Follow on Twitter #6thchat Thinking Thurs. at 8 EST? Thoughts?

This is mainly for 6th grade teachers, but anyone can join (I did). Fabulous conversations and sharing of ideas. It's a great way to grown your PLN too. Thursdays from 5-6pm on Twitter following the #6thchat (I personally find it easier to follow list conversations on TweetDeck and/or Hootsuite than on Twitter).

Awesome tutorial by Mr. Avery (6th grade teacher)

Here's a list of individual student bloggers, grades 6-8. Their posts are about digital citizenship & science. I'm sure they would love students to comment on their blogs.

If you are into science, and grades 3-6th, this is a place to allow your students to comment to other students. Always review safety and netiquette first, then model making some class comments before having them work on comments as partners.
