SHARED READING 101: with presenter Matt Halpern

A Critical Tool for Reading Success - Matt shows how to use shared reading as a time to support early readers in an interactive engaging experience.  We'll walk through this shared reading using different texts, look at ways to supercharge your instruction and explore ways to use shared reading across the entire school day.  Using new titles, experience a variety of ways students can participate in this engaging literacy activity.

 VOCABULARY ROCKS:

A rich vocabulary is one of the foundational components of successful literacy learning.  Deepening children's vocabulary is critical to helping them read, write, and talk about ideas.  How can we plan for vocabulary instruction across the day?  What are the best ways to maximize vocabulary learning within the framework of what we're already doing?  Join Matt for tips, strategies, and fun ways to grow your students' vocabulary.

CAN WE DO THAT AGAIN?  - with presenter Katie Mense

Fun Ways to Develop the Basics of Number Sense - Hands-on learning is great for connecting abstract math topics to the real world.  Get hands-on with Katie and discover ideas to give your students the foundation they need to be successful in Kindergarten!  Come away with tons of engaging and fun activities along with easy-to-implement math games that engage students, reinforce math skills, and build that number sense! 

I'M DONE WITH CENTERS...NOW WHAT?

Having trouble keeping your students busy for the full 45 minutes of center time?  Does your classroom get a little rowdy and chaotic with early finishers who don't have anything to do?  Katie gives you lots of ideas, tips and resources to use to keep your kids actively engaged for the entire time!  Learn how to make the activities meaningful and manage them so that students don't choose the same activity every day.
