| Hi! Welcome to Marie's Little Red School House! |
With the winter season hopefully ending, spring should be blossoming forth and your students will be blooming with all the new found knowledge they have learned since the beginning of the school year. It is time for our Spring Time Lesson Line Up and a chance to win a free book full of ideas and lesson plans for this time of the year.
Marie's Little Red School House sponsors a round up of lesson plans, ideas, puzzles, games, art, music, lesson connecting recipes, etc. that teachers can use in their classrooms. We collect these lesson plans and put some of them into a book which will be published. If your lesson plan is chosen, you will receive a free copy of the book with your name and contribution inside. If you do not want to contribute or if your submission is not chosen, you will be able to buy the book for a reasonable cost. Anyone who teaches are eligible to submit their ideas. A lesson plan form is available on this site for your use, but it is not mandatory that you use our format. As a teacher, I know how valuable your time is, and I will accept your plans in your readable format.
Spring is full of lessons that you cover in your textbooks, as well as those unforgettable exciting lessons that come from your creative mind. Suggestions for topics as generously provided by: http://www.brownielocks.com/march.html
Any Common Core Standard connections you can make are appreciated.
