DUO Education Presents Clarinda Cloud Name Tags

8/6/2014

Hello everyone. It is getting close to the beginning of school. So, I created name tags. Clarinda Cloud has her name tag. She is ready for school.
This is perfect for all the elementary teachers and guidance counselors out there as well as preschool teachers and daycare providers.
However, this is not just a regular name tag. If you have read the book, "Clarinda Cloud," you can also ask children to point to the cloud that shows how they are feeling at any particular moment in the day. It is a great way for a student to be able to show you that he or she is happy, angry, scared, shy, sorry, sad…etc… through out the day in an inconspicuous way.
Never heard of Clarinda Cloud or her books? That is okay. You can find out more information on her website at www.ClarindaCloud.com.
Want to buy one or both of the Clarinda Cloud books?

5 Helpful Strategies to Make Transitions Between Activities Smoother

2/26/2014

1 Comment

Hello everyone! Today, I want to offer teaching tips on making smoother transitions. I know that transitions can be the most difficult time of the day for teachers and students. Along with recess time, it is one of the times when students seem to get bullied. It can also be loud and unruly. But… there is good news. It doesn't have to be that way! There are tips for making smoother transitions between activities.
I have provided a poster of "5 Helpful Strategies to Make Transitions Between Activities Smoother." Most of them will work better for the elementary grades. However, a couple of the tips will work for classrooms of any age group.

I just want to let everyone know that DUO Education has met an exciting milestone! It got more than 1,000 page views in one day! And, to make the news even more exciting, it happened twice in the last week! I want to thank everyone who made it possible! Thank you!

In Honor of Teacher Appreciaton 2013...

"If your actions inspire children to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are indeed worthy of the title "Teacher." - Robert John Meehan

This week is teacher appreciation week! I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the teachers who have taught me, all of the teachers who have taught my daughter, and all teachers in the world. You are often under paid and under appreciated. Yet, there is at least one who really appreciates what you do!
I hope everyone enjoys the quote I have chosen. I believe it is so appropriate for teacher appreciation week! That is a great way to describe and honor teachers! Great teachers really do all of those things.

In Honor of Teacher Appreciation Week... Giveaway!

In honor of teacher appreciation week, I am going to do my first blog giveaway event. Here is how it works: Any teachers who sign up for my blog via email subscription and post a comment will be put into a drawing. The comment must include what level you teach and what you would like to see in an educational blog, educational site, or educational product..... For example... you might say... "hi my name is ..... I teach.... and I would really like to see more workbooks on fractions that specifically address....." Share whatever you would like to see to help you teach... and to help us teach.... and so we can learn and help others learn. I will draw a name next Tuesday! The winner will receive a signed copy of one of my books. (Sorry, this is limited to United States addresses only at this time... as I do not know the mailing costs or limitations to other countries.)

Giveaway Prize Choices

Here are the choices the winner will have to choose from:
