An Integrated Approach to Language Arts Instruction
A few of my articles:
Developing a Community of Learners: Nurturing Classroom Relationships on the First Day and Beyond
Creating a Discipline Plan: Tips for Developing and Implementing a Behavior Management Plan
Teacher-Parent Communication: Tips for Developing a Positive Relationship with Students' Families
I hope you find the following resources as helpful as I have!
They're appropriate for 4th through 8th grades.
