I just got a surprise in the mail today. More about that in another post. But it reminded me that I haven't posted my top ten FAVS from the selling floor at this year's #edexpo2015.
In no certain order, here goes:
1. Redispace from Pathways - not only were they giving away samples of great pencil grips. They also had these European inspired composition notebooks that have pages filled with graph paper. This way students learn to write their letters in each box and properly space out their words, rather than these sloppy messes I've been seeing in my classroom lately.
2. Goldiblocks - a super cool Kickstarter project that finds a way to engage girls in engineering pursuits. You go, Girl!
3, Capstone - this leading distributor of educational literature has a brand new list of titles that perfectly meshes with my curriculum. Almost every book I looked at elicited an "OOOH."
4, Essentials - Great writing titles to help kids understand the different genres and their nuances. LOVE the Stella Writes series.
5. Kagan - if you aren't already familiar with this fun product line for the classroom, go check it out.
6. The Pencil Grip - they had so many different and progressive grips for kids I couldn't stop playing with them all.
7. Roylco - they had this super cool lightbox that students could play with color combinations, look at x-rays, and even a moving one that could seriously change my lessons on erosion.
8. The Reading Game - a great set of vocabulary sight words that builds into a child reading a correlated story independently.
9. Say It - a fun card game where students create stories from random
phrase cards.
10. Learn in Style - super fun multiplication wrist bands to help friends remember their facts.
I'm still trying to track down what the official top ten were from the entire expo.
Anyone know?
Leave me a comment~!
