Teacher's Lounge Radio Episode 3

Thank you for listening to episode 3 of Teacher's Lounge Radio.

Management Magic
Looking for a timer?  There are lots of timers on the market including ones that sit on overheads that are visual timers.  I prefer one that is magnetic so I can keep it on the whiteboard.  I've gone through a few over the years but my favorites have been "Bob" (Sunbeam digital timer) and "Ted" (Mini Polder Timer).

Uncommon Uses for Common Things
You can find sheet protectors at a variety of stores including dollar stores.  A word of caution, make sure that they are smooth, not textured.  The textured sheet protectors don't clean as nicely.

Book of the Week
The featured book was Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire: The Methods and Madness Inside Room 56 by Rafe Esquith.  Esquith has a comprehensive website as well, be sure to check it out.

Song of the Week
Tony Chestnut is the title song on Tony Chestnut & Fun Time Action Songs  by The Learning Station.

English Learner Strategy
Here is a good article from readwritethink.org with more ideas on using the carsouel strategy.
