WEEK 7 Working Memory
Let's learn how we can help our students strengthen their working memory in the classroom. I love these ideas from Elementary Matters for supporting working Memory in the classroom!
You will also find math and reading resources with lots of fun links and freebies to help with lesson planning for Week 7.
There is even something special for our ART, Music, and PE classes too!

Working memory is how students hold on to learned information. It plays an important role in concentration and focus. Students with weak working memories can have difficulties in many areas. Watch the videos below to learn more!
