#TSUitup and Blog Hop

It's time to #TSUitup! Have you heard of the new network, tsu? (Pronounced sue) This is a brand new social network that allows teachers to connect with one another by sharing ideas, quotes, products and more! 

I am taking part in a fun blog hop in order to spread the word about the wonderful new social network AND tell you about some of my favorite teaching strategies. OH and did I mention a big giveaway is also involved?! YEP- that's right! 

Would you like to be the newest member of tsu? I would love to connect with you! Here's my link to sign up below:

Here is the strategy I want to talk about: Cooperative Learning! The thing about cooperative learning is that the students are working TOGETHER to find answers. How can we teach students when they are arguing with each other constantly?! The answer: it's impossible. We have to make them realize that being ugly to one another will never work and they will never be able to learn in that environment. 

With that being said, let's throw out the golden rule: Treat others the way you would like to be treated.  

...And let's throw in the PLATINUM rule: 

Treat others better than you would like to be treated. 

Here's a FREEBIE for you! You can download this poster by clicking here!

If you need something to reinforce positive behavior with one another, here is a product to use with your class!
