What is your teaching philosophy? Classrooms that feel like communities have advantages such as the following: Children trust and respect their teachers more,like school more,enjoy challenging learning activities,are concerned with others and more willing to help and better resolve conflicts fairly and without force.

Homeside Activities is a unique parent involvement program with a focus on building relationships. The activities themselves are short, concrete projects or conversation topics in English and Spanish that begin with a classroom introduction, are sent home to be done with a parent or other adult, and then conclude with a classroom follow-up activity and sharing.Homeside Activities build stronger school-to-home connections through three-way communication among children, families, and teachers, and they provide a valuable addition to whatever kind of parent involvement program is already in place at your elementary school.This program is designed to: -- help parents feel connected to the classroom-- help children benefit from extra time spent with a caring adult-- help teachers know more about the lives of their students-- develop children's oral language and abstract thought-- demonstrate that the school values the ideas of the adults at home-- help children learn more about one another-- build a sense of community in the classroom, throughout the school, and at home. -- Activities in English and Spanish on reproducible pages -- Eighteen activities per book on topics such as The Story of My Name, At-Home Science, Personal Time Capsule, Real Heroes, Across the Generations, and Neighborhood Map. -- Supports academic growth, citizenship, and classroom community -- Activities can be done with a family member, neighbor, or caregiver -- Successfully used in urban, suburban, and rural settings.

Number Power is a K-6 program that takes a holistic, developmental view of education and is designed to support both mathematical and social development. The focus of the program is to support and expand students' emerging number sense. As students collaboratively investigate problems, they develop their number sense, mathematical reasoning, communication skills, and ability to work together in fair, caring, and responsible ways.Number Power is based on the assumption that children learn about the world through everyday interaction with their environment and with others. In these units, children's conceptual understanding is developed and enhanced through a combination of hands-on experiences, role playing, problem solving, and reflection on these experiences. Academic and social learning are integrated naturally, rather than developed in isolation from each other. Exploration, questioning, discussion, reasoning, and reflection are all part of this natural learning process.Based on the recommendations of the NCTM Standards, the Number Power lessons are designed to be accessible to all students and meet the needs of students with diverse backgrounds. Each unit fosters the development of several essential concepts and may include additional areas of mathematics such as measurement, geometry, and data analysis.The kindergarten volume has a special format to help teachers engage the interests and meet the developmental needs of this age group. Chants, rhymes, role-playing, or picture books are used in each set of experiences, and students have many opportunities to listen to and help each other, share the work, and make decisions. These experiences also support children'svocabulary development, oral expression, and listening comprehension. In Set One, children investigate number meaning and relationships as they count objects and data, and they use domino patterns to help them visualize a set of objects as a whole. Set Two gives children opportunities to explore the underlying concepts of addition and subtraction and to use manipulatives to explore counting on and counting backwards. Set Three further builds on children's knowledge of whole numbers as they compose and decompose numbers, solve problems, and count objects by twos and by fives. Throughout the units, children are encouraged to recognize how their behavior affects others, to think about the underlying values that guide behavior, and to develop appropriate cooperative skills.

In Unit 2, students extend their understanding of relative magnitude as they informally explore and compare measurements of different boxes. Unit 3 further builds on students' knowledge of whole numbers as they use multiples offive and ten to compose and decompose numbers and solve problems. Throughout these units, students develop effective group skills.

In Unit 2, students investigate place value concepts as they group and count by tens and hundreds. Unit 3 provides opportunities for students to compute informally and to explore the relationships between operations. All three units develop students' cooperative skills and abilitiesto make group decisions.
