<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have been racking my brain lately to make sure that I do things that are engaging. I have really wanted to make sure this year is engaging especially because there are four tested areas in fifth grade in Florida. FOUR. How the heck do you do it all? I want to say you do and you can and here's all the tricks but yeah right. I don't have the tricks BUT I do have ideas and hopefully they're going to be just as strong as the year goes on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of my first ideas this year was to follow Hope King and set the stage to engage or on Instagram known as #setthestagetoengage. If you don't follow her...you should. I wanted my kids to review text features so I brought it to life. Figuratively speaking of course. I used anchor chart paper to draw a person. I used 1 for about every 3 people. Then we used nonfiction articles and we found all of these amazing text features within the article. They had to use the article pieces to "save" the persons life. It was a super simple lesson and it showed me that the students most definitely understood text features. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I told y'all that there are four parts and we are finally at part 3. The baby and I got super sick so we were both out of commission for almost a week. Let me tell you...a baby and the mom sick is pretty bad! I digress. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've got quite a bit of questions about how I implemented in the beginning of the year or even in the middle of the year. I will tell you right now that I tried so many things before I got to how I implement. There's a few things that I want to start off with.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1- it does not happen over night</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2- your first implementing will drive you crazy but the second day you're going to be like oh my gosh my class is amazing and followed directions and they were so quiet!!!!(okay maybe by day 4 this happens)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3- Relax. We as teachers are all OCD and trust me...things will go wrong. Just do a minor correct and move on in your life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Where do we start? We are going to call it the ABC's of getting ready. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">A.</span> Always have your copies ready</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">B.</span> Block your math block out. Plan out your time for your math block, when will you rotate? When will you see your groups? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">C. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Centers are huge in Guided Math. Get the centers every week planned out. Remember that you won't want to things in the centers that are not taught yet. That will just get everyone frustrated.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">D. </span>Divide out your math groups based on levels</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">E.</span> Expectations are key. Write your expectations down so you can remember when you are telling the students. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">F. </span>Flat out say no. Remember it is your classroom and when your students try to be clever and go "can we..." you can say no. <strike>A lot of</strike> Some times, I will say hmm..let me think about it. I usually give them a time frame like give me until Friday or Monday etc. Sometimes they forget and I won't have to deal with it and sometimes I will make changes accordingly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">G.</span> Giving up is super easy because in the beginning it is a lot of works. Don't give up. It's hard in the beginning but once you get the hang of it- you'll be fine!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">H.</span> Have a plan. Have a plan for all things you think you will come across, questions, rotations, how to move, the noise levels- ANYTHING that could "pop" up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">I. </span>Interruptions kill your time. Really they kill your time. Have students be your in the meantime teacher. If they need help with something they go to that student instead of you. I always include the rules of the hands on activities or how to "play the game."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">J.</span> Jumping in head first is how I do everything but if you don't like doing that then slowly implement portions. This will help you especially if you are in the middle of the year.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">K.</span> Killing time? No. Don't do this if you are one of those teachers who are just using Guided Math to kill time. Let me tell you-your little teacher heart is going to break. I knew a teacher once who did not teach. Merely she taught for 3 minutes on the skill and then gave the kids work. This is not to just kill time. This is a life changing model that will impact your classroom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">L.</span> Loud noises will distract me. If they can distract me then you know they can distract your students at your table or any other students around the room. I usually put the hands on activities in the farthest spot from me. Try it...it really does work.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">M.</span> Materials are extremely important! Have your center materials ready, your independent work ready, the passwords for computers ready (soooooo important), and anything else you need.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">N.</span> Notes. Take notes during your small group. I will be the first to tell you that I need work on this. Next year, I will have a binder for my notes(hopefully) but I always took notes on what the students needed but it ended up being always on sticky notes. That is no problem (for me) because I just had hundreds of sticky notes around until I was able to reteach or fix any mistakes that happened. One thing I did that popped out right which I feel like is a best practice was I knew that student B struggled on her shapes so I made flash cards and in order for her to ask a question, she had to tell me what the shape was. I did this quite often and often had success. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">O.</span> Overzealous teachers will get burnt out quick. Don't go insane because you will </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">P. </span>Pinterest. I know you know what it is but pin everything you think would be good. I usually make several boards for each subject. For example one board for Operations, one for Numbers & Base Ten, one for Geometry & Measurement. Once we get to those standards I bounce over to Pinterest and voila half the work is already foreign for me. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Q.</span> Quiet is out the window. Seriously. I feel bad for those teachers who MUST have a quiet classroom. I'm not that. In fact, I love the conversations. I love that the students can interact with each other and use math language to talk. Do they have side conversations? Absolutely but I won't discourage it because then how will the kids be able to have conversations with others as they get older?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">R.</span> Relax- let your kids make the mistakes. They will figure it out. You could try to do everything for them but then they will ALWAYS need you for every...single...thing. By the 3rd or 4th day it should be good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">S.</span> Setting up the areas is just as important as everything else. You need to make sure you provide everything for that group so that you don't have to be interrupted during your small groups.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">T. </span>Transitions are key. You need to make sure that you teach the students how to transition to each center. If you don't teach them how to transition, you will have LOUD chaos. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">U.</span> Understand all the parts because if you don't understand then you will implement and be looking around like what's going on. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #a64d79;">W.</span> Wait. Patience is key. Trust me your hard work will pay off. You are going to have success but not in 5 minutes. Usually for me it took a solid 5 days for the kids (they were 1st grade) to pick up on it. I am eager to see how the 5th graders do in the fall. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">X.Y.Z.- I don't have something here hahaha. If you do- let me know!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So listen- you may struggle. It's fine. Just pick yourself up and dust off your shoulder and try something else. You are going to do great and I'm here if you need me. If you have questions you can leave a comment here and I'll respond as quickly as I can!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hopefully I have given you plenty of ideas for you to use in your classroom! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Y'all let me tell you... There are a lot of ways to do Guided Math. No really...there's a lot. I may have one way that is effective for me and another way that may be effective for you. There is so much that goes into Guided Math but once you get into the rhythm you'll be set. This will be a long(er) post so hopefully you can bare with me through it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have a different amount of time, then I would definitely recommend manipulating the times. I personally like to make sure that I get to all my groups daily but sometimes I do run out of time and will need to pull the last group later. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">How do I make the groups?</span></b></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I break them up by levels. I have a low level, the middle level (which is usually two groups) and then the high group. I know a lot of people say to see your low group first but I don't do that. Wait! Before you freak out- hear me out. My math block in first grade was first thing in the morning. If I pulled my low kids first, I would have to make sure the rest of my kids are settled (which usually only happens in the first group) and then that first group lost out on time that honestly...they really needed. I pulled my second highest group because they are the ones that will move (or gain levels.) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What are the other students doing while I'm in small group?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Interactive Notebooks, Math Journals, Hands on Activities, Independent Work, Xtra Math and Ten Marks. I don't have a rotation however I know there are many people out there that do have boards. One of my favorites is <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Math-Workshop-Rotation-Board-2099365">Sweet Tooth Teaching</a>. I really like her work-it's nice and clean!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Let's start off with What is Guided Math?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Guided Math is a structure for teaching where a teacher supports each child's development within a small group setting. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Guided Math also allows the teacher to increase the level of difficulty based on the students needs.</span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Why do I do </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Guided Math?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Honestly, I really do enjoy </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Guided Math. I was always shocked as to why teachers would change their entire teaching methods to try this program. Then I jumped on the bandwagon. I am not saying that you need to but I will tell you some of the amazing benefits that I have noticed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. When a student struggled, I immediately saw the mistake that the student was making. I was able to correct the mistakes and lead the students to go back to check their work.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. Which leads us to number two! They learn how to check their work. They also may realize...oh hey- the kid next to me got a different answer. What did I do wrong or what did they do wrong?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. I <u>always</u> ask that my kids support one another (especially in guided math). If they did notice that they have a different answer then their partner they were to go back and check along with their partner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. I could see who understood the material or who would need remediation that day or later in the day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. Each student was provided a hands on activity daily to help them play with new knowledge during small group. A way to interact with the information on paper (still have to take state tests ya-know?), are able to work on a hands on activity from last unit to practice those skills as well, and work with technology to strengthen skills.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>What do your other students do while you are working with one group?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My other students are working on skills that are structured just for them. For example, hands on activity, technology, math facts, math journals, task cards, word problems etc. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I included parts of my Unit 1 Guided Math program here so that you can see what it looks like at a fifth grade level. There are 11 units, 2 pages of classwork, an exit slip, 2 pages of homework and a hands on activity for small group that you could use later during review time.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>I would like to formally introduce you to my friend Sarah! Sarah and I are great friends and we have created an amazing product for you! Last year, when I came back from maternity leave I was a mess in so many ways. One of the big ways was that I never felt successful as a teacher. I feel like I was barely keeping my head above the water. I needed something to use in my classroom for reading so I could just print the lesson plans, any vocabulary words, and the crafts and be DONE! This is how Dive Into Reading began. </b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>We are creating all of these units for every grade but bare with us. We are starting with first grade and then up to fifth grade. What does each unit entail?</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hey ya'll!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm so excited to show you slight improvements to my original post about Evaluations. If you want to read the previous post click <a href="http://ateacherswonderland.blogspot.com/2012/09/evaluations.html#.V1sTrngqZUQ">here</a>. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made some minor changes to the system. As I've become a better teacher, my products have become slightly better. The concept itself remained the same. I still found it extremely useful to keep them as circles and to have an evaluation on each side. One side showed me their score and one showed me what they felt that they were like with their work. This is just a few ways that I tweaked it over the years.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Last but not least, I started Guided Math for fifth grade since I will be teaching fifth next year. So far I am about 4 lessons in (out of 11) and I absolutely love it. It's engaging, it's hands on, it's interactive journals. Each lesson has Whole Group Lesson, Small Group Lesson, Remediation, On-level, and Above Level lessons, 2 pages of Classwork (we are a district where you must have places to practice to your work), an exit slip, and 2 pages of home-learning. I'm really proud of how much I've accomplished since Monday!</span></div>

I'm super excited for this one. This is all about reading homework!<div>Let me start off with I despise reading logs. I really do. Anyone can fake a reading log or cheat on it or even forge their parents signatures. I wanted something to hold my students accountable. Years ago I created a folder and the kids had to fill it in but since I never read the books I was never able to hold them accountable with the correct answers. Well guess what...I found an amazing solution!!! (Where are the cheer cannons?!?! None?...oh ok.)</div><div>When I last taught intermediate, we had all these books come off adoption so I got them all! YES! However, we weren't allowed to use them for guided reading anymore. So I never did anything with them until now. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ciD3Yd_M9mcD4YENTlFpxvE7AHZq2fb7Q_VEPoi1YaMx0PwA1wNhxbWa6g7YHZoXV43rb-08XwzaTyi8cPh4mcKFAf0WiYeI6LR-icl4sGwZV-XfEOIwgZLr7ilXSgLkyCgPJ2VBagnW/s640/blogger-image-839490978.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4ciD3Yd_M9mcD4YENTlFpxvE7AHZq2fb7Q_VEPoi1YaMx0PwA1wNhxbWa6g7YHZoXV43rb-08XwzaTyi8cPh4mcKFAf0WiYeI6LR-icl4sGwZV-XfEOIwgZLr7ilXSgLkyCgPJ2VBagnW/s640/blogger-image-839490978.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>I decided to create a weekly reading book. The take home reading folders are quite simple even though they sound kind of difficult. On the left side of the folder is the book, and on the right side is the daily questions.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So it's been no secret that I have been actively looking to transfer schools. I live an hour from where I work and I have an 8 month old that I can't wait to see at the end of the day. I needed something closer. Not wanted...needed. A year ago I wouldn't have cared about the drive but now I need to be near my baby. That means interviews. Ugh. Let me tell you that I feel like interviews are so impersonal. You talk to a principal for 30 minutes while they rattle off questions. Do they really get to know you? Probably not. I needed a way for people to know me. I'm a *bright* person. I don't just mean in smarts. I attract attention wherever I go. No joke. I wanted a way for that to transfer into my interview...but how?</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I went back to my college days...make a portfolio. I did. Let me tell you...it's beautiful. No really- it's gorgeous. I'm in love with it and it's me. It's a sneak peek into my classroom. It allows the principal to see what my classroom looks like without even being there. (Insert love eye emoji)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. Then I included all of the committees or clubs that I've been chair of or been involved with. Of course I put them in chronological order.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. I put a copy of my certificate. I worked hard for my certificate so you better believe I put that in there.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Oh my goodness...I love November. It has such rich information throughout the entire month. It makes me so happy teaching all of these amazing social studies standards throughout the entire month. Let's start from the beginning:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first week we do our voting and we use a lot of things in relation to voting with the governor and President. In 2016, the voting will be amazing because the kids will be able to vote for someone that they really would want to vote for. Last year I blogged about it...you can check it out <a href="http://ateacherswonderland.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2014-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2015-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=8#.VkvTo3gqZUT">here</a>. This year, I am allowing you to download the document used to vote.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just click <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzwUsHtw0nNDaVNTVDhNMFg5V0U/view?usp=sharing">here!!</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For Veteran's Week, we had an amazing guest speaker come to the school.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> This year we added a few new elements:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. We have a poppy poem. The kids LOVED this! I found it on Pinterest. If you wrote this then thank you for writing this! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNLDiYkIQ2I7rxrPvwKWlDGpbByXheouFcCW4ASU83DqSBj6pRUsgj5P-nEAu8Ia174Si1MlyLOrkJqS7NKGCXCa7PNPp5dyGhN0PX3UR-nZDtVv65dIexNvWRI2TQksg9K5G6YTBQtE1/s640/blogger-image-1652368808.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZNLDiYkIQ2I7rxrPvwKWlDGpbByXheouFcCW4ASU83DqSBj6pRUsgj5P-nEAu8Ia174Si1MlyLOrkJqS7NKGCXCa7PNPp5dyGhN0PX3UR-nZDtVv65dIexNvWRI2TQksg9K5G6YTBQtE1/s640/blogger-image-1652368808.jpg" /></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. We each wore a [paper] poppy and in order to wear the poppy they had to answer the question: Why do we wear poppies? The answer is to show honor and our thanks to the men and women who served our country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. We added a weekly brag tag. This year I have tried really hard to create all these types of brag tags based on the theme for the week. The kids love this because they are able to tell peers that they are experts on the specific topic. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We read the book Pepper's Purple Heart.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also created lap books (picture coming soon) from <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Veterans-Day-2166443">Keeping up with Mrs. Harris</a>. I loved creating these with the kids! The kids learned so much and were able to show it in their lap book. We also read a book by <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Veterans-Day-Reader-for-First-Grade-and-Kindergarten-Social-Studies-1498380">Class of Kinders</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully, you can use some of these amazing things next year!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keep track of our blog so you can check out the Thanksgiving events! </span></div>

I had baby W. He just melts my heart!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9M4bDRcVmrhq7tQAZQTNg4rOvviVgX45V13qtmATFzypWTEdjoc6W_s-Zc7FKED4qrFPJUHTCooEOH4UIA7ittE3JRT7MmEPkxw4AAIscSp0NDKdKqTkb5j3MT4EE_QPEVxSA7n7BMJgZ/s640/blogger-image--1934613064.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9M4bDRcVmrhq7tQAZQTNg4rOvviVgX45V13qtmATFzypWTEdjoc6W_s-Zc7FKED4qrFPJUHTCooEOH4UIA7ittE3JRT7MmEPkxw4AAIscSp0NDKdKqTkb5j3MT4EE_QPEVxSA7n7BMJgZ/s640/blogger-image--1934613064.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Now I feel ready to get back to tell you all about what's been going on. I came back to work on October 12 and I hit the ground running! This year has been a little different because I'm implementing a theme every single week along with a blend each week. I started to create units based on what we are teaching each week and honestly, I feel like my students have made major gains. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Why do thematic units?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Imagine a kids brain is like a computer. In the old days if you wanted to switch programs you would have to shut the computer down. It was a 10-15 minute project. That would be 10-15 minutes of learning time what we would lose. By the end of the year, it could be an entire weeks of learning that you've lost.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>How do you do themes?</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I choose a theme based on the book for the week. I will use the week of Halloween as an example for our themed week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Theme:</b> Witches</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Blends/digraph- </b>ch [ I have 1-2 a week]</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Math-</b>we were working on matching tens and numbers together so the game had a boiling pot with the base tens, and then a witch for the number. It literally just had the cute fun game with a witch on it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Writing- </b>we wrote a "how to" book on several things. 1- how to make your own stew [or potion] (if you were a witch, of course). 2- how to put a spell on someone 3-(not a how to but still works) how to be the best witch of them all. They were a lot of fun to write and we enjoyed reading what everyone's stew (or potion) would do to people.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Reading-</b> during reading we read Piggie Pie. Have you read it? It's so cute! That was for our interactive read a loud. Then for shared I wrote a book called something witchy and we read that several times along with identifying the ch on each page. The kids love these little books because they add them to their "paper" Baggie and are able to read from there anytime they want. We then read a poem called Witches. I wrote it and we read it everyday and then we were able to place it on our poetry journal. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Themed weeks are such a huge hit! At the end of each week, the students get a brag tag that they can add to their necklace that says they are an expert on that topic. All my kids get one because they all worked equally hard to learn about the topic.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>October themes:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Bats, spiders, fire safety, witches</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>November themes:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Voting, Veterans Day, thanksgiving </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>Come back monthly to check out our new themes!</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b></b>Do you do themes in your classroom?What are they and what do they look like?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div>

I use to be the worst at conferencing. Honestly... I didn't like it. It was a struggle because I never knew what to do. So instead of actually pulling conferences and guiding students, I would pull small strategy groups or work on something else. I realized that the students were never finding out if the things they were doing were correct. I came up with this conference form and hopefully this will help your writing instruction as much as it helped mine.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
When should you conference?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; min-height: 29px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
Honestly… it will be very difficult at first.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
I struggle with pulling conferences at first,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: KG Miss Kindergarten;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">but once I get into the groove- then I am good. </span></span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten';">You should be able to pull 3-5 students</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten';"> </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten';">PER DAY. That way over a week you will see each </span><span style="font-family: KG Miss Kindergarten;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">student at least once. Are you going to do this as soon as you start the school year? NO! I had to put timers on my phone to help me stay on </span>track. The first week, I got through 8 of my 20 students. The second week was 10, then 14, then finally I got through all 18 in one week. It took me four weeks to get my rhythm. I did keep track of which students I saw and made sure the following week that I targeted the students that I missed. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: KG Miss Kindergarten;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
How do you conference?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; min-height: 29px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
It is so easy to say “<span style="color: #cc0000;">fix this- and this-</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000;">and this</span>.” As teachers, we need to get out</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
of this terrible habit. <span style="color: blue;">Okay</span>-so what do you do?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; min-height: 25px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">First</span>- Always welcome and say hi to them.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<u>Ask</u> if you can read their story. Don’t just take</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
their story. This is special moments to them</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
and it’s not your place to be rude about</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
their stories.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Second</span>- Give them something to compliment</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
them on. Don’t worry there is a page in</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
the file that has a list of things you can</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
compliment them on.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Third</span>- Now tell them what they need to work </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
on. <span style="color: #a64d79;">Only give them one item to fix</span>. The reason</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
why??-because they can’t remember everything! One thing will be sure to get done. When they come back to you, you will be able to see if they completed the task. Now, you are probably going to see 20 things that they need to work on. If you are OCD like me you can write errors on a sticky note and refer back to that later.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">Last</span>- Write it down!!!! My first year I made the </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
mistake of never writing it down. I kept repeating </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
myself to the kids on everything they needed to work on.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
I had no way of monitoring their growth or to</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">
check back to see if they <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">completed the last task.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'KG Miss Kindergarten'; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: KG Miss Kindergarten;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">On the document, you will see that there is a section for compliments. You can keep track of the last compliment that you gave them so you don't repeat yourself. The next line is the teaching point. What did you just teach them to do? It's kind of like a reteach but in writing. The last line is </span>the<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> next step. I always ask them what they are going to be working on next. Then I fill it in. For my </span>students<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> who are strugglers, I will have them sign it because then they feel like they are being held accountable and they HAVE to do what they </span>signed. <span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> I hope this helped you with conferencing notes & guiding the conferences.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the hardest things as a teacher is to keep track of all the data that is thrown your way. You have all of the math tests, science tests, text dependent questions, reading response, writing conferences... what did I miss? I bet I missed like ten different things, but you get the point. One of the things that I must have is a very well organized binder. I want to have all student's information in one place. This is how my data binder was born.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There was several things that I needed to have in my binder. Some of them I did not take pictures of because it had too much important information on it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. Way to keep their Reading Running Records information on one page</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the front cover of the binder. I bought this from <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/1st-Grade-Data-Folder-Binder-Check-Listsupports-Common-Core-Editable-pages-723419">1st Grade is WienerFUL</a>. One of the things that happened this year was that in the state of Florida, we don't use CCSS. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to utilize the entire pack, BUT it's AMAZING!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once you open the binder, there is a list of all the students. I bought this from Office Depot and this is how I kept track of all the students. Each student has a tab and it is based on their letter (or number). </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYO3UPHJShcePd1aci1sBDy_olhWVbKus1cJXWpdu954vGq-MEaTNd2EYa4urgRuWlUerCNXj5__Z_wUKFtAYP4ac-ZyC9RXhx01x1iHokTU474KCXLRqQP5-2-0CToDATps-sQfGDn1U3/s1600/Slide02.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYO3UPHJShcePd1aci1sBDy_olhWVbKus1cJXWpdu954vGq-MEaTNd2EYa4urgRuWlUerCNXj5__Z_wUKFtAYP4ac-ZyC9RXhx01x1iHokTU474KCXLRqQP5-2-0CToDATps-sQfGDn1U3/s400/Slide02.png" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one of my favorite things in the binder. Before I have the students tabs (but after the label sheet). It is a master sheet that keeps ALL of my students information on their Reading Running Records {RRR}. This is every single student in my classroom. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*How does this work? It's really simple. You place the students name at the top of the page. On the left side, you will see the information from the RRR book, AND what is the mastery level. Then you will fill in each box under the student's name and across from whatever they mastered. As you can see, some of them are in pink. The reason why they are in pink is because they mastered that specific section of the RRR. At the bottom of the page is the levels that the student currently reads at. I write the letter that they read on and then directly underneath the letter is the number that they answered the questions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the individual student tracker page. I mark in this every time I work with the student and their RRR. I like to use this because then I have one for each individual student. As you can see there is a pink box which is for Trimester 1 and then the blue box is for the final trimester. On the left side I highlighted everything that was mastered. That way I don't go back and repeat anything that he already mastered. As you can see this is helpful as well because you can see how much he progressed over the ENTIRE school year. The first two things filled in are the scores and dates when they walked into my classroom. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is not my product but I LOVE it! This is from <a href="http://mrsjumpsclass.blogspot.com/2013/09/guided-reading-101-part-1.html">Mrs. Jump's Class</a>. I used this document all the time. There were other things that were very helpful in this file. I used this informal record all of the time. I tried to complete one per day. It became my goal. Once I got really good at tracking the students I was able to bump it up to 2-3 a day. I did this about 2-3 weeks after their latest RRR. I highly recommend using this!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I doubt you will have this, but I wanted to show you how I kept track of the math scores. The way that we do this is all through the computer. We enter in all of our data to show what questions the students answered incorrectly. Then We print out the form to show what questions were answered incorrectly. Then I am able to highlight the standards that the students did not master. Now when I go back and do a re-teach, I am able to hone in on the specific skill they need help with. I currently use this <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/LAFS-MAFS-1st-Grade-Data-Tracker-1495669">tracker</a> to keep track of what needs to be retaught. Unfortunately, it's only for first grade and it's LAFS & MAFS from the state of Florida. I have been thinking that I will create a CCSS for K-5. You may have to give me time though...Sorry!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is what I use to track what I entered on the student's report card. Each part of the report card is broken up by a specific benchmark which has 2 -3 standards in it. I use the X or # to mark if the student mastered it or not. I use a bright purple highlighter to mark off which standards were not assessed. At the end of the year, I make a copy of the standards and send it home to the parents. I can show this during conferences and make notes on the page if I need to. I have one for Math, Reading, and Writing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Happy <span style="color: #cc0000;">J</span><span style="color: blue;">u</span><span style="color: #cc0000;">l</span><span style="color: blue;">y</span>! I love July 4th. It is one of my favorite holidays because it's a celebration of our country becoming independent. There will be a sale from July 3rd - July 5th on my TpT store in celebration of July 4th. Also in other news...this is my due month! We are officially in the month that the baby is due. I can't believe it either. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As bloggers, we are CONSTANTLY using different types of fonts. We know how to space things and then change the size and use all of our favorite fonts. One of my problems [that I assume you may have as well] is that I have SO many fonts that I can't keep track of them all. I always want to use different fonts but sometimes I forget what the fonts look like...so I tend to stay with just my favorite fonts. I know!! It's a shame! It really upset me and I needed a way to have all my fonts in one spot. This is how the Font Book was born.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is the cover of the font book. What did I do? I created a document (see below) and I wrote the title of the font and then I changed the font on that line to match the font that I labeled it. I only chose the fonts that I really loved. I use a lot of Kimberly Geswin fonts, Cara Carroll fonts, KB Fonts, and KA Fonts. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After I type up the fonts and print it out...I laminate it. I <strike>like</strike> <span style="color: #cc0000;">LOVE</span> to laminate things and this is noon exception. I then laminate the pages and cut them perfectly. I can then put them on a ring or keep them together. In the end, they look like the picture below. I have all the fonts in one place and now I can use this to find all the fonts that I want to use. [Don't mind the little puppy paw in the picture.]</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope your end of the year events are going well. We ended our school year on June 4th and being 33 weeks pregnant- I COULDN'T WAIT! Not only did I end my school year but we also moved into our new house the week before school got out. It's been very crazy over here and now since school is out- I am getting the nursery ready. Although my personal life has so much going on... it doesn't mean my babies don't have work as well. I created a summer packet for my kids and this was awesome because it targeted everything we had learned this year. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I bought gallon ziplock bags and put all of their little goodies inside of it. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpeoLSJD8YEJU6O90nOb3v1Zz-ETLDt9nknFf9g-m9G75a7sgVXB3rJXGeep-4ajn5TNllUK_AbesvhpJXzyzU5aZXLxzzn9uTjY8kyPFWnkfmEKM4gPjxGdT7ntMDdTeefgQGaS8IpLf/s1600/IMG_3565.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLpeoLSJD8YEJU6O90nOb3v1Zz-ETLDt9nknFf9g-m9G75a7sgVXB3rJXGeep-4ajn5TNllUK_AbesvhpJXzyzU5aZXLxzzn9uTjY8kyPFWnkfmEKM4gPjxGdT7ntMDdTeefgQGaS8IpLf/s640/IMG_3565.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What was inside the bag?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Addition & Subtraction Fluency Set</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Week 1</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Week 2</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Week 3</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Week 4</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Week 5</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-Week 6</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- A parent packet with websites and tips & tricks for reading & math</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>- A page for passwords</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>- A pencil</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>- A list of books to read for summer </u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>- Dolch sight words</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The underlined items are things I found online and are <b>not</b> in the summer slide packet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So what is inside the Week's 1-6? Well each front cover is made to be printed one sided only. On the front is a cute little cover where they can write their name. On the back is a reading log. I made every two weeks the same color and then I switched to a different color. Once you open the packet there is different activities to do. For example each week has some type of writing exercise. [Don't mind my ugly nails.]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also math activities to do. [Sorry- I can't find out how to rotate it back.]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are coins, ten frames, tally marks and many other activities based on the first grade curriculum. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also two stories in each packet. One story is a fiction story. There are questions that go along with it. There is also a non fiction story-mainly about animals- and there are of course questions to go along with that.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each week also has math word problems and if you need more word problems you can stop by my store and purchase word problems based on the months. There are also fill in the blanks for the correct verb tenses.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are also some character traits pages and each packet has a sight word list. Then the students are to make sentences using the sight words listed above.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have some great things to share today! One of the things that I have for you today is math journals! I was so tired of my kids not being able to understand a word problem, that I ended up creating math journals for my kids. The math journals are awesome because I can monitor them doing their math journals and word problems. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hey everyone! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's Spring Break and I am posting a ton of pictures of blends posters! I know that I have previous posts on blend but I am almost finished with all of my blend posters. I wanted to share them with you and hopefully you can use them in your classroom!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a week!! Dr. Seuss week is over and we had a blast. I know I posted about the balloons last week, but our week continued and we were having such a great time!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Monday, we watched "<u>Oh the places you'll go"</u> and it was read by John Lithgow. We created our balloons! ( <a href="http://ateacherswonderland.blogspot.com/2015/02/dr-seuss-week.html#.VPzT2kIrjww">See previous post</a>) They came out so cute. Surprisingly, I didn't take any pictures of them...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tuesday, we started the book "<u>Green Eggs and Ham</u>" and we created our own persuasion story if you should eat </span><u style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Green Eggs and Ham</u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. They came out super cute and while we were writing our stories, we also ate "</span><u style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Green Eggs and Ham"</u><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What did I use? I used Waffle Pretzels, vanilla frosting, and green m&m's. My husband was such a great help, and these are actually a picture of his because mine came out looking awful! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Wednesday, we read the book "<u>One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish</u>". We actually created our own "aquarium." We made our own fish and then we wrote rhyming sentences on the fish. Of course, since my kids are in first grade...they totally did not want to color it red and blue so they colored it whatever they wanted! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Thursday, we read the book Sneetches, and we ALL wore yellow shirts. My entire team wore yellow, and so did almost ALL of the kids. We put green stars on our bellies and became Star Bellied Sneeches. I luckily remembered to grab a snapshot with me and little baby Eyre.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What a relief to be over the 100th day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was super fun- but I went home and PASSED OUT!!! It exhausted me like crazy. I wanted to share with you some of the really cute things that we did as a class.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> In this picture, we made these really cute 100 count hats. We put a sentence strip around their head and then we used 10 pieces of construction paper. We then did 10 different designs on the hat itself. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are the things that we put on the ten strips:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 animal stickers</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 math facts</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 sight words</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 thumb prints</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 books we read</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 hearts of love</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 things we learned this year</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 I'm a star sticker</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 of their first name</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10 of any of their own design</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We then created a 100 snack bag. It was really fun and good. We had a ton of food (and leftovers) that we ate some the following week. We made a little bag and then we watched a hundred day video while eating our yummy snack.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's almost Dr. Seuss Day!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am super excited, especially being in primary. I am able to have so much fun with my little babies. Each day next week, we will be participating in some events daily. One of the events that I created today and I wanted to share IMMEDIATELY was this adorable goal setting balloon. As you know, Oh, the places you'll go! is about going off to great places even if you are scared. I created a balloon file that you can use to set goals with your kids. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of my besties colored her balloon, and already set her goals!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: KG I Need A Font;">I am going to start off with my blends book! I am very excited for it. This was my first blending book so here ya go...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: KG I Need A Font;">In every PDF file there is a little book. Two books per page.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: KG I Need A Font;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: KG I Need A Font;">I love the little books. Here is a clip of what one of the pages looks like.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFlH6HRuyxwne6BAWjrQTh8eVgd_elA6feR6ZouqK2oP3kvYjn7nL17Gx158D0F2-N9tDV0AHtxh7k7XxabDFf6IwwlyLFIulicu4cIlOG0fRzYyGTacTGpGjI5R40kwtAe-js7JhFOdjy/s1600/BL+Controlled+Blends1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFlH6HRuyxwne6BAWjrQTh8eVgd_elA6feR6ZouqK2oP3kvYjn7nL17Gx158D0F2-N9tDV0AHtxh7k7XxabDFf6IwwlyLFIulicu4cIlOG0fRzYyGTacTGpGjI5R40kwtAe-js7JhFOdjy/s1600/BL+Controlled+Blends1.png" height="320" width="247" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: KG I Need A Font;">Along with a little book there a few pages to make it that much better. One of the things is this fill in the blank booklet. There is also a poem that goes with it, a template for interactive notebooks, identifying words that have the blend and building the words. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, I want to tell you what's been going on in room 3-109! Last week, our school was closed because of voting. Our state voted for Governor on November 4th. We did some awesome things to teach about voting. I created a "USA" Corner of the room. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Look how cute it is! The little box on the left, is actually the "voting" box. Our kids did some really cute voting things. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First, we read the books Duck For President and Grace for President.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After we read it, we discussed the difference between the two. We made the kids really think about who they would want to be their president. We of course told them they cannot discuss politics in school. We then taught the kids Amendments. That had to be my FAVORITE part! Our amendments were as followed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amendment 1- You must wear red shirts Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amendment 2- Students will get 65 minutes of recess daily.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amendment 3- Everyone must eat 5 broccoli, 3 celery, and 1 carrot every meal. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amendment 4- Everyone must wear earrings.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amendment 5- All students must read 2 books a night.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, none of these were actually taken into REAL action but it was really fun to do. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
