Grades 1-6 - Teacher Resource

How to Teach Art to Children has it all: background information, literature resources, and easy step-by-step directions for 96 art projects. Children learn about the seven elements of art and then use the elements in the styles of famous artists.

From basic through advanced grammar concepts, the Yellow Workbook provides clear definitions of rules, repeated examples, and plenty of practice. Step-by-step instructions and regular review help every student succeed.

This Key to the Yellow Workbook, along with along with the corresponding color Workbook and the required Core Instructor Text, make up Grammar for the Well-Trained Mind: a complete course that takes students from basic definitions through advanced sentence structure and analysis – all the grammar skills needed to write and speak with eloquence and confidence, with the regular review needed for mastery.

Each Key provides not only answers, but also explanations for the parent/instructor, and guidance as to when the answers might be ambiguous (as, in English, they often are).

The Pinch Grip

Step 2 on the path of perfect handwriting

The Pinch Grip embodies the perfect blend between The Pencil Grip and The Crossover Grip. The open cups of the grip guide without restriction. The elongated center ridge functions as a barrier so the fingers do not crossover to the other side of the grip. The Pinch Grip naturally reinforces proper positioning while also allowing for freedom and comfort.

Helps Kids Handwriting

The original design of this grip comes directly from The Pencil Grip. The same ergonomic design guides each finger to the correct spot to achieve the perfect tripod grip. This doctor-recommended grip significantly reduces the amount of fatigue felt from prolonged writing. In fact, this grip directly emulates the original style that is still one of the best Grip recommended by Occupational Therapists to help people improve their writing skills. The Pinch Grip is designed to train the muscle memory of the fingers so that a proper grip is not only comfortable, but second nature.

Helping Adult Hands

The Pencil Grip is widely used by the millions of Americans diagnosed with hand health issues like Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tremors, and a general lack of strength. The Arthritis Foundation recognized The Pencil Grip for ‘helping to improve the quality of life of the millions of Americans with arthritis. ’ The Pencil Grip received this commendation because of how easy and comfortable the grip is to hold.

Why Choose The Pencil Grip?

The Pencil Grip is the original ergonomic writing aid. Writing becomes easy and natural. The Pencil Grip improves handwriting, helps to give more control, and reduces hand fatigue. Its unique, patented design gently encourages the fingers and hand to rest in the proper position for gripping – The Tripod Grip. Unlike other pencil grips, The Pencil Grip feels natural because of its ergonomic design and soft, flexible, latex-free material.

Helps Hands And Improves Handwriting

The Pencil Grip was designed by a doctor and is widely used in classrooms, at home, and in therapeutic settings. The unique shape is designed to be “one size fits all” to help the hands of kids and adults, and work for both righties and lefties. The Pencil Grip can be used as a training tool, and then permanently for added comfort. The Pencil Grip fits on pencils, primary pencils, pens, crayons, markers, paint brushes, etc., so its benefits can be widely enjoyed.

How To Use

Slide the wider end of the grip on first. Righties and Lefties simply place their thumb on the “R” or the “L” printed on the grip. Fingers will naturally fall into place with the middle finger on the underside of the grip. The images on the left show proper positioning.

Improve Kids' Handwriting

A comfortable hand has more control and shows improved handwriting. The Pencil Grip guides the hand into an ergonomic position. It relieves hand pain, reduces fatigue, and improves comfort. Consistent use teaches and reinforces the proper grip, and stops common problems like fist grips, thumb-wrapping, and white-knuckling. Parents, teachers, and occupational therapists widely recommend using The Pencil Grip.

Helping Adult Hands

The Pencil Grip is widely used by the millions of Americans diagnosed with hand health issues like Arthritis, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Tremors, and a general lack of strength. The Arthritis Foundation recognized The Pencil Grip for ‘helping to improve the quality of life of the millions of Americans with arthritis. ’ The Pencil Grip received this commendation because it is easy and comfortable to hold.

This wooden peg puzzle includes a piece for each of the 26 letters in the alphabet. A colorful picture under each piece shows an image beginning with the same letter, helping to develop letter recognition and pre-reading skills! Also encourages hand-eye, fine motor, and visual perception skills.

Learning is fun with this entertaining and informative book about genetics. Forty-six illustrations are accompanied by easy-to-read captions explaining that genes are "chemical instructions" necessary for living things to stay alive and reproduce.
Perfect for kids ages 8 and up, this book describes what genes control and how they are passed along from one generation to the next, genes and DNA, genes and proteins, genes that turn on and those that turn off, genes that protect us from harmful bacteria and viruses, and genes that scientists transfer from one kind of living thing to another.

Time after time, experience shows that learning by manipulating physical objects with one’s own hands — learning by doing things firsthand, rather than being told about them or reading about them in a book — is extremely effective. Thames & Kosmos has a long history of incorporating this principle into science education. Now, we are bringing this experience to the Kids First Math line, a series of nine hands-on kits with activity cards or lesson guides designed to demonstrate and teach concepts in mathematics, as well as other skills such as logical thinking, problem solving, and creative thinking.

A brilliant book to introduce little ones to the wonders of science, from the human body, weather and seasons to forces, space, animals and plants. With simple text, charming illustrations and Usborne Quicklinks to specially selected websites with easy science experiments and online activities.

The Prima Latina Instructional Videos feature detailed instruction by the program’s author, Leigh Lowe.

Lessons are approximately 20 minutes each.

Textbooks provide a systematic and well-rounded approach to middle school math. Chapters engage students in a variety of ways, from different levels of problem solving to real world application of math topics. The goal of the textbooks is to facilitate understanding and internalization of concepts, and to instill a curiosity to further explore math. Features & Components:

• Chapter Opener:Introduces the topic through real world application and identifies learning objectives.
• Example: Helps students understand a concept through a worked problem.
• Try It!: Gives students an opportunity to answer a similar question to check how well they have grasped the concept.
• Basic Practice: Provides simple questions that involve the direct application of concepts.
• Class Activities: Introduce new concepts through cooperative learning methods.
• In a Nutshell: Consolidates important rules and concepts for quick and easy review.
• Further Practice: Provides more challenging questions that involve the direct application of concepts.
• Math@Work: Provides questions that involve the application of integrated concepts to practical situations.
• Brainworks: Provides higher-order thinking questions that involve an open-ended approach to problem solving.
• Review Exercise: Gives students the opportunity to apply the concepts learned in the chapter through a variety of integrated questions.
• Extend Your Learning Curve: Extends and applies concepts learned to problems that are investigative in nature and engages the students in independent research.

The answer key at the back of the book provides answers to the Try It! and the problems in the exercises for the Basic Practice, Further Practice, Maths@Work, and Brain Works questions. It does not include answers to the class activities or the Extend Your Learning Curve activities. Dimensions Math Textbook 8B includes activities using The Geometer's Sketchpad, which is no longer available. We recommend using GoeGebra instead. Note: Two textbooks (A and B) for each grade correspond to the two halves of the school year. Soft cover.
