PRESENTER:

Mary Amoson of Sharing Kindergarten

Mary is an enthusiastic and passionate Kindergarten teacher from Georgia with 18 years of experience. She holds a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education and an Educational Specialist Degree in Instructional Technology. In addition to teaching full-time, Mary finds joy in presenting to educators across the country for more than 14 years. She loves sharing engaging ideas, hands-on activities, and rigorous content that has worked with her own kindergartners through her website.  Mary is committed to instilling passion in teachers because she believes that passion is truly the secret to increasing learning and achievement.

SESSIONS:

• Making Math Hands-On!
  Start using the very best high-quality, hands-on skill games and activities in your whole groups and small groups and with partners to promote cross-curricular learning in fun ways. You won’t believe how many examples Mary shares. And, get leveled learning activities to help with remediation, skill-building, and accelerated learning. This session also has hands-on games to try and fall in LOVE with! (This session has hands-on math games for attendees to play to learn with.)

• Making Science Meaningful
  Replenish your supply of fresh ideas and hands-on activities for making science content topics meaningful to little learners. Attend this session to see how to integrate multiple content areas into science while making learning fun for your class. STEM activities, art projects, and games will help your students learn like never before! We are adding components to make this session more hands-on and interactive.

• Calendar Time

Fill your teacher toolbox with inexpensive, new ideas for teaching and re-teaching the requirements across all content areas during your calendar time. Discover Mary’s fresh activities and games in action videos from her classroom and find how easily you can incorporate higher order thinking skills, listening and speaking skills, and daily informal assessments as your kindergartners beg for more!

• SOAR with Sight Words
  Replenish your supply of fresh, new ideas for sight word games and activities kids LOVE to play! Learning sight words has never been so much fun! Mary sends you home with kid tested and teacher approved sight word games to try tomorrow. This session includes a digital make-and-take download.
