Attached is the prescription I tweaked for my faculty. The local pharmacy graciously donated the pill bottles. The powerpoint sheet is set for 2x3 Avery labels.
They were a huge hit, and the secretary had a big bag available for "refilling the prescriptons" throughout the year.
While You Were Out! (Absentee Work)
Posted by: Aurora #113
I've been racking my brain for a better way to handle absentee work, and I'm so excited! I started thinking about the "While You Were Out" memo pads that offices use and I decided to make a large, student friendly version! I'm going to put them as covers on manila file folders. If someone is absent for the day, I'll put a folder on their desk and whatever we do that day can be added. We also got student planners this year, so all homework will be easily available too. When they get back, they copy everything down, the papers are ready, and they can just come to be to confirm. I wanted to share, so here's the modifiable document. :D . .
I just use a free one to create...

I use CutePDF (if you google 'Cute PDF' you can download it free!) It's really simple to use and I get great results with it. However - I cannot convert PDF with it - only create. I've never needed a converter badly enough to spend $100 hard-earned dollars on it. Usually - if I need to change something on a PDF that I didn't create (and thus have an original edit-able document already saved) I usually just re-make it myself.
Do you know if you can try the program for free? Most software companies will offer a 30-90 day complimentary trial period. That way you could experiment and find out if you even like the program, how often you'll use it, and if it's worth the investment.
I've used dice and base ten blocks. I called the game- Savings Account.
I put students in groups of 3-4.
Each group would have 2 die- preferably one white and one colored- and a bucket of base ten blocks- units, longs, flats, and one decimeter cube.
One student would be the banker and the rest would be the savers.
Student 1 would shake both die. The colored dice would stand for the tens and the white die would stand for the ones. eg. 4 on the colored die and 2 on the white die would be 42. In the beginning, the student would say 4 longs and 2 units, but eventually they would tell the banker 42. The banker would give them the base ten blocks for their shake. Then the other saver's would shake.
As the students continued to shake, they would ...
I've come across these websites. The terrific science one, I've taken a two week workshop with and can vouch for their toys/activities. I'll keep looking, and please if you find anything or have documents set up, I'd love to see them.
So I finally made it to school and my scanner doesnt work so I went over to Fed Ex/Kinkos and scanned them there. Hopefully this works and I hope you all enjoy the material. If you have any questions just let me know.
