Earl E. Literacy, spokespuppet for The City Library, travels to Lincoln Elementary to interview Chris Conard about the Playworks program. Watch the video to learn more about Playworks helps kids have more constructive fun during recess, teaches them conflict/resolution skills and cools them down to be more focused when they return to class.
The City Library's own spokespuppet, Earl E. Literacy, interviews the Salt Lake City Police Department's Chief of Police Chris Burbank. They talk about who safe people are, what number to call when you need to talk to the police and how to be safe while riding your bike.
Join Earl E. Literacy, official spokespuppet of the Salt Lake City Public Library, as he takes a tour of the new Natural History Museum of Utah with Youth Teaching Coordinator Linda Gillis. They explore the museum, talk about the LEAP Into Science program and even get to see fossils of a recently discovered dinosaur species!
The City Library's spokespuppet, Earl, interviews Tailgating Tracy when the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile stops by the Main Library in Salt Lake City.
Spokespuppet Earl E. Literacy visits The Leonardo, the new art and science museum on the south side of Library Square. He interviews Elizabeth Vincent, marketing and communications director at The Leonardo. They talk about the science, art and technology the Leo has, and what kinds of fun stuff you can do there.
The ink was barely dry on the Constitution when the first challenges to its protections arose. These early challenges to the new constitutional republic often involved the meaning of the Constitution itself. What did its words actually mean, and who would get to decide?
This microcredential represents a teacher’s understanding of early fraction concepts and the ability to respond to developmentally appropriate learning progressions related to early fraction concepts by planning and implementing instruction based on the Standards for Mathematical Practice and Effective Mathematics Teaching Practices. It includes selecting, using, and adapting mathematics curricula and teaching materials, including the integration of mathematical tools and technology, as well as using and analyzing formative and summative assessments to determine where students are in learning trajectories related to early fraction concepts. This is the first of seven microcredentials in the Elementary Mathematics Endorsement: Rational Numbers and Proportional Reasoning. These microcredentials can be earned in any order.
This article describes the progression from halves, to thirds and fourths, as well as fair sharing as a means of teaching more abstract fractions to young students. Throughout the article activities are suggested to support the learning, as well as a link to a six-minute video which shows two children working on a difficult sharing situation practically with a teacher who questions appropriately to get the thinking going. Two of the activities mentioned in the article, "Happy Halving" and "Bowl of Fruit" are cataloged separately.
The purpose of the Early Learning Program is to improve the Early Literacy and Early Mathematics classroom instruction and student outcomes in kindergarten through grade three. The Early Learning Program establishes an Early Learning Plan that includes early literacy, early mathematics, and goals. The Professional Learning Grant is a separate application but correlates with the Early Learning Plan.
Several thousand fossil specimens of multi-cellular life have been collected in the Ediacara Hills of Australia that are believed to be 650-700 million years old.
It is believed that for approximately the first one billion years, Earth had no continents or oceans.
Animation depicts fossils from some of the first complex, specialized, multi-cellular organisms. These fossils are similar to modern-day jellyfish, sea pens, and segmented worms.
The Early Math Project promotes awareness of the importance of math in early education (birth to age eight), provides tools to parents and educators, and collaborates with agencies and organizations working to advance mathematical learning.They also offer an annual Early Math Symposium annually. You can view past symposium recordings, and register for future symposiums here.
This microcredential represents a teacher’s understanding of early number concepts, their ability to plan appropriate learning trajectories, implement effective teaching practices to help students understand and use these concepts, and use/analyze formative assessments to determine where students are in learning trajectories. (Early number concepts include, but are not limited to: non-quantified comparisons, containment, notions of quantity and measurement, one-to-one correspondence, cardinality, meaningful counting, and ordinality, composing, and decomposing whole numbers). This microcredential is the first of five in the Elementary Mathematics Endorsement: Numbers and Operations Stack. These microcredentials can be earned in any order.

In the growing season, farmers and ranchers keep a watchful eye for any sign of drought. Early warning information can increase their range of options for dealing with the lack of water.
In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad figures out how to earn 100 snelfus in 11 days.
The Earth Club: Standard 6.RP.1 - Understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22. In this holiday lesson, students learn about the origins of Earth Day and how it is celebrated in the United States. They also learn about different ways to take care of the Earth, such as recycling.
Earth science is the study of our home planet and all of its components: its lands, waters, atmosphere, and interior. In this book, some chapters are devoted to the processes that shape the lands and impact people. Other chapters depict the processes of the atmosphere and its relationship to the planets surface and all our living creatures. For as long as people have been on the planet, humans have had to live within Earths boundaries. Now human life is having a profound effect on the planet. Several chapters are devoted to the effect people have on the planet. Chapters at the end of the book will explore the universe beyond Earth: planets and their satellites, stars, galaxies, and beyond.
