This past week, I started prepping the file for my maternity sub. I just love the unit. It has activities for each content area and the kids love the hands on activities.<br />

This year Target is selling this cute set of heart books in a package of 8 books for $3. I picked up a couple to glue in the heart shaped unit. The book is a little smaller than the ones last year so I adjusted my print settings. You can print at full size and it will be okay. The example shown has been printed at a shrink setting of 85%.<br />

To ensure my sub knows how to complete the activities, I completed a book myself for an example. Here's the preview images...<br />

If you're interested in the unit for $2, click the cover graphic below. You will need a little time to prep. I will say, you can simple print and staple. It doesn't have to be cut and glued in the books but my kiddos love making them each year.<br />
<br />

I also have an excellent book companion for the story, Somebody Loves You Mr. Hatch that I love using with my kiddos each year. Discounted 50% off through Feb 1st, 2020.<br />

And, if you're looking for a cute freebie, I have one that aligns with the story When an Elephant Falls in Love. However, you don't need the book to complete this reproducible activity.<br />

I'm thrilled for the kids but sad for myself. I love all the themed activities you can do with the kiddos and dressing up with them just makes me giggle. <br />
<br />

<br />
This year I'm on maternity but my sub is planning to dress up with the kids. I can't wait to see pictures of their little outfits. <br />
<br />
Keeping with our normal schedule, I modified the activities to fit the allotted time. I've planned a full themed day with most activities as previously paid units and freebies I've acquired from TpT over the past 11 years. I will link all pictures to their owner so you can check them out. Some are paid and others are freebies.<br />
<br />
8:30-8:45 My kiddos enter the room and begin working on their morning work each day. Our activity for the day will be a 100th Day ABC Order.<br />
<br />

Paid Unit</div>
<br />
<br />
8:45-9:15 Our entire team switches kids based on their direct level of instruction to work within the SIPPs program. Since this is an intervention based measure, we won't complete 100 day activities during this time.<br />
<br />
9:15-9:45 Our iReady lab time is required by the school/district. This is also an intervention based measure so we won't complete 100 day activities at this time.<br />
<br />
9:45-10:15 For our reading block, we will be working with the story 100th Day Worries. To follow up, we will complete this response.<br />

10:15-10:45 At this time each day, we go to centers. I won't change this block due to our title one teachers who service for intervention reading groups. We will proceed with our normal rotation of centers and guided reading.<br />
<br />
10:48-11:18 Lunch<br />
<br />
11:20-12:00 Students will complete 100 Day Math Center Rotations. During this time, they will begin with a specific activity and move a different center as it comes available. <br />

For early finishers, students will work on their math scrolls. I started our annual math club, math scrolls a few weeks ago. The kids are scrolling to a 1000, one hundred at a time. A 100 chart is stapled to a paper towel roll. The kids will complete the corresponding numbers written at the top (ex 1-100, 101-200, etc). Once they complete 100, they turn in the scroll. If the numbers are written correctly (not inverted or backwards), they will receive a new 100 the following day to complete. If they are incorrect, I will record their mistake and the kids will redo the 100 the following day. Each correctly completed chart will get their popsicle stick moved to the next 100 pouch.<br />

<br />
The kiddos will love the activities and a break from our regular lessons for the week. I hope you find a resource you might like. As stated earlier, this is a collection of activities I've acquired over 11 years being on TpT. I didn't go out and buy and download them all at once. There are many creative resources available but I didn't wanted to overwhelm my maternity sub with resources that involved a lot of prep for the entire day. Happy Teaching Friends!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Hi Friends,</div>
</div>
<br />
I wanted to drop in and share a free resource for Chinese NY. I went out on maternity a week ago and wanted to create something but being 37 weeks swollen wasn't allowing me to. I search TpT and found a great resource for my sub to complete with my class. I know this comes a day late, but you can always pin the content, link to the TpT and download the file, and save the videos for next year.<br />
<br />
I broke up the resource over the four day week since we were out Monday for the holiday. Each day we read a book and discussed the traditions. This came at a perfect time because we've been working on compare and contrast. The kids were able to discuss how their celebration of the new year was different from ours in the US.<br />
<br />
Here's the resources cover from Stories and Songs in Second. If you click the graphic below, it will take you to the file.<br />

Tuesday we began our discussion with what the kids know about Chinese NYs. I work in a title one school with very little background knowledge so I pulled up a little video from my favorite website, Brainpopjr. I pay for the monthly subscription. It's minimum amount yet worth every penny. However, they show a weekly video for free and last week's video was about Lunar NY. If you link now by clicking the graphic, it's still available for free.<br />

Once the kids had a little background knowledge, they discussed some new learning. Then we read a book. I'm embedding a video of the different books I shared last week so you can hear and see them before deciding if you might like to add them to your collection.<br />

After our story, we discussed the symbol of dragons with the freebie. This allowed us to have some time to focus on additional phonics from our SIPPs lessons and choral reading. We colored the image and glued into our journal.<br />

I know the kids loved the resource and scooped up a bit of new learning this week. We had a huge week of writing with our Martin Luther King Biographies so I wanted to ensure they had an easier time with their social studies lessons. Hope you find the resources helpful. Happy Teaching!<br />

We have many topics that thematically are exciting for the kids. However, finding a 30 minute block of time between required subjects and pacing guides can be a tight squeeze.<br />
<br />
October starts with fire safety and pumpkins. If you toss in bats, owls, spiders or even nocturnal animals, you are narrowing the timeline. How about Red Ribbon Week? As the month comes to a close it's all things witches, monsters, ghost and goblins ...And that's to say, if your timeline is like mine with the 50th day of school then the squeeze is definitely real. Even though it's a busy month, it's also one of the most engaging and exciting months to teach. Our students are acclimated to our classroom setting, rituals, and routines. They're gaining confidence and willing to read and write on these exciting topics. This week I will squeeze a few themed lessons in for bats during our reading and/or science block.<br />
<br />
Last year my kids worked on the following activities and gushed about them. Here's a peek of the freebie file...<br />

Students collaborate in six different groups cutting 100 mosquitos each for a classroom display. You can hear the collective sigh when the kids see how many mosquitos a bat can eat in an hour. It's a powerful display!<br />

We created our first diagram. I bought a bat skeleton from Target for very cheap and a human skeleton from The Dollar Tree. We held the two and compared them. Then we worked to identify the bones.<br />

Oscar and the Bat is a perfect book to expose students to sound and discuss echolocation. The kids are truly amazed by the sounds they hear once they complete the hands on investigation. The rest of the kids are sitting watching the reaction waiting to know what is being heard. This little nugget said it's like "Star Wars" his my ears. LOL.<br />

As my little nugget wrote in his response, the momma bats can find their pups by scent. For this investigation, I poured drops of different extract scents on cotton balls and passed them out to the class. We have class numbers so I secretly placed them on the cup. While they were working on a task, I placed a cotton ball on their desk so they never saw the numbers. I also wrote a letter on the bottom of the cup and on the matching bottle of extract so I knew what student had each of the different scents. The kids had to use their sense of smell to find their bat family.<br />

Where is the time gone? This month is packed with themed content. I will be back tomorrow to share some of my favorite October resources: Fall Leaves, Fire Safety, Pumpkins, Bats, Owls, and Red Ribbon Week. Keep an eye out because there are many great resources and freebies...<br />
<br />
As for this post, I'm so excited to share my newest resource for The Legend of Spookley and a Pumpkin Investigation similar to the Apple Investigation in <a href="https://primarygraffiti.blogspot.com/2019/09/seed-by-seed-legend-and-legacy-of.html">Seed to Seed: The Legend and Legacy of Johnny Appleseed</a>.<br />
<br />
I will be back once we complete our learning and insert in examples like I did in the linked post above.<br />
<br />
For now, here's a glimpse at what's available in this companion....<br />

Each year I work on letter recognition, sounds association, formations and a list of words with the same beginning sounds. The kids never seem too engaged but it's important to review since a good percentage with my school demographics come into first with limited exposure and a big summer slide from kindergarten. <br />
<br />
This year I reviewed the letters and formations then sent the kids to their team to work on five letters at a time. For each day of the week, the kids would work on the same five letters; however, I rotated the stem bin in which they built the word. They worked at their own speed and found additional ways to challenge theirselves, often trying to build the lowercase letter. <br />
<br />
This independent exploration allowed for me to pull for beginning of the year assessments so that I could begin to place the kids in appropriate SIPPS and reading groups. Now we are moving and grooving with 1st grade content. <br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse at the resources...<br />

The file is created with all 26 letters for each of the five STEM resources. I had the kids attempt to build off the mats but if needed they could use the mats. So you will see both modeled from our class morning practice. <br />

Since we were not yet ready for math centers at the start of the year, I set up 20 minutes after our math lesson each day to rotate the Number Stem Bins to each team. Just like the alphabet, we worked on five numbers each week, rotating the same five letters with a different STEM resource each day of the week. <br />

We dove into everything apples during our science/literacy lesson each afternoon. On Friday, we ended our week with a themed day of investigations.<br />
<br />
I scurried home after school this week to create the pages for the next day of lessons and investigations. The unit I created is a book companion and investigation booklet to align with Seed by Seed: The Legend and Legacy of John Appleseed Chapman.<br />

Here's a cover to the book Seed by Seed. It's not an affiliate link. I encourage you to check out this well written and easy to understand story! It's perfect for the primary and intermediate grades.<br />

This is the time of the year where we are slowing down and moving towards summer thinking. However, it's a perfect opportunity to engage students with all things hands on.<br />
<br />
It was this time last year that I purchased praying mantis for the first time. WOW, it was one of the most engaging few weeks. The kids were on egg watch, looking forward to seeing the nymphs emerge.<br />

Last year I created this wonderful unit but with it being so late in the year, I didn't package it and load it to TpT. This past week I ordered two new egg cases on Amazon for $8 and look forward to making magic again. You can click the image below to access the unit!<br />

I'm looking forward to returning from Spring Break with my Compound Construction Crew. To prepare for this mini flip, I have purchased a few goodies, but the materials needed for this themed activity can be simply printed from my newest unit. Click the graphic below to link to my file.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Compound-Construction-4458638"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRUPgtT8qmGBswOTQgU9XgONTL1okpGhTlECjI2HceZrTEy84TBAW1dpybptIKjZ6xTVw6oIasQC5Gww6ZmwpgfH3Xe4p9pJqSozdvMkpmHYB_sig1QUfooOTeQGVjUV7z8R7ZKUiIIuQ/s640/Slide01.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
For added excitement, I ordered a few props to enhance the flip. Each year, I buy props for one new flip. I often times use the materials for multiple lessons in a year. This helps me build a collection of materials that can be recycled for different activities.<br />
<br />
This year I bought orange construction vests from Consumer Crafts. I also purchased another of the Antsy Pants collection tents. I already have a train, fire truck, bus, pirate ship, and market shop in their collection. There are several ways to purchase the collection. You can buy the poles separately and then purchased the slip covers or you can buy the kit. For mine, I have a few kits and the poles where I can buy the slip covers, saving money. Ansty Pants is sold at Target, Amazon, or their direct website.<br />

Working in a title one setting, many of my kids have very little previous knowledge. For morning work, I will have my kids come into the classroom and investigate tools and vehicles used in construction. This is simply explore time for less than 15 minutes. I have the materials set up on rotation for four days to accommodate my four groups. I will update the post with images after we complete the lessons!<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I like to start new skills by introducing them with a BrainpopJr Video. They're usually between 4-5 minutes and helps give a little background on Compound Words. I pay less than $10 a month for one home subscription to share the videos in class during my mini lessons. </div>

Following the video, the kids will use their prior knowledge for individual words to help predict the meaning of a compound word. I have four examples to chart. Before revealing the sentence, I want to allow time for the kids to turn and talk about the words and their meanings. You can record a sentence the kids develop or glue the one provided. Repeat with each compound given. To follow up, students can work in pairs or groups to explain four additional compound words as a work time activity. This can be glued to the chart or independently recorded on their own reproducible page.<br />

<br />
The following day, I will begin my mini lesson having the kids explain to me what they know about compound words. This is a time where I generate misconceptions and understandings. During my lesson, we will construct a second anchor chart with word parts written versus the visuals in yesterday's chart. The word parts are separated on different sides of a tool belt to help identify each word separately. The kids will determine the compound word and hunt for the matching saw that has the image of the compound word.<br />

For a follow up activity, I prepare puzzles for the kids to work on. Depending on the level of the child, this activity can be completed in different ways. First, the kids can play as a game of concentration or simply matching puzzle parts. I've provided a two page reference pages with the images of the compound words students are looking for. For more of a challenge, the kids can be given the charts after they found the words. If students are struggling to read the frameparts, lay the charts out for additional assistance.<br />

After my class has had a few solid days of lessons practicing the skill of compound words, I will do a mini flip of my room. I use the above mentioned props and a few from my unit for our compound construction day. Each child will receive a hard hat and tool belt.</div>

In their tool belt, I have prepped pipe parts for the kids to build a compound word. I have given each child several matches and a few pieces that will not create a compound word. They have a Compound Construction Manual with three drafts of the Blueprint Designs. Students will construct their compound parts and glue to the pipe template. Then they will record the compound word and engineer a sentence using the word. I provided two different versions depending on the level of your student.<br />

For more of a challenge, I took away the visual and provided tools for a plus sign. This forces the kids to determine the compound word parts by constructing words based of their previous knowledge.</div>

I typically transition into informational writing with a focus on text features! Although we've had nonfiction lessons previously, I dissect the standards and give my students a full, holistic approach to the topic.<br />
<br />
Over the past month, my students have meandered through various lessons that led up to a collaborative research project with a partner. I couldn't be more excited by the outcome. So, let me rewind the clock a bit and take you through my lessons from the beginning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In mid January, I updated a set of lessons for Nonfiction Text Features that I originally created back in 2011. You can click the graphic below to snag the freebie unit. Please consider leaving feedback!<br />

<br />
My first set of lessons helped my students understand fiction and nonfiction. Although the unit is broken into different lessons, a lesson could take more than one day to complete, especially with the extension lessons provided.<br />

We started with fiction using Bear Snores On. The kids helped me chart what they noticed during the read aloud. I didn't think to take a picture of the chart but a sample of ideas is provided in the file. Afterwards, we took a nonfiction book walk using National Geographic Bears. Again, the kids helped me chart what they noticed.<br />
<br />
We spent a few days on the Bears Information Reader because there was so much content that the kids were identifying. In fact, I went off my plans at this point and started to share some of the text feature posters when my students identified them in the text.<br />
<br />

<br />
We read a few chapters over several days, specifically out of order. This helped us to understand that we can read informational texts in any order unlike the fictional text, Bear Snores On. To prove the point, I checked out the sequel, Bear Wants More. I tried to read it starting in the middle. The kids decided the book had to be read cover to cover because it had a beginning, middle, and end that must be sequenced.<br />

To ensure my students understanding, I gave my kids a book sort. I started with Velma Gratch and The Way Cool Butterfly AND National Geographic's Caterpillar to Butterfly. With an obvious cover that gave clues, my kids easily identified which was fiction and nonfiction; and sorted the books in a reproducible activity. Then I asked the kids to sort Wonderful Worms and Diary of a Worm. This took a little more inferencing and schema to determine which might be the fiction. The covers were less obvious. The kids and I decided that we needed to read the text to further determine how to sort. I had one kid that could intelligently tell me based on his understanding that worms won't write a diary. Most of the kids were hung up on an illustration and photograph.<br />

Now that the kids had a better understanding of fiction and nonfiction, we moved into facts and opinions. I decided to use dandelions to help create the opinions. Given that many had no idea what a dandelion were, I knew I needed to pick a bunch and bring them in.<br />

Dandelions: Stars in the Grass gave a few good places where we could stop and discuss opinions. Following our reading and discussion, the kids were given both forms of a dandelion. But before we could investigate, we needed to dress the part.<br />

The following paper melted my heart. If you knew this kid and his family, then you'd know they're a Disney Family and visit this magical park often. I knew the moment I read what he wrote, it must have been a true connection and solid reason.<br />

Once I was certain my students had an understanding of opinions, we transitioned the following day to facts. I read the Scholastic Information Reader, From Seed to Dandelion. The kids used four sticky notes while sitting on the carpet listening to me read. They were to record four ideas for sentences. Afterward, they were given four star shaped papers that were die cut for their facts. We created the dandelion habitat on a sentence strip. The Fact Mobile turned out adorable!!!<br />

At this point, my kids had a lessons on facts and opinions and were ready for text features. If you recall, we had previewed the nonfiction books for text features the previous week when we strayed from the written lessons. To expand on our previous lessons, I saved extra copies from my Scholastic Magazines orders. This is something my grade level receives each month. If you don't have a subscription, look into this magazine. It's great! I emailed the staff at my school and asked if anyone had any extra Scholastic Magazines they hadn't used. Each grade level receives the monthly subscription with four different weeks in each monthly packet. What I love about the magazines are there are plenty of examples, but the trouble is each magazine only features two or three. You really need to have extras sitting around to cut out and categorize during the feature hunt.<br />
<br />
Since I found it difficult to track down enough magazines for the kids to complete the activity as mentioned in my lessons, I modified and used all my different National Geographic Readers I've collected over the years. Scholastic bundles them often and many can be purchased separately at Barnes and Nobles or Amazon. I gave each partner a different color sticky note pad and allowed them to hunt for as many different text features as they could find.<br />

My favorite thing about these readers are the differentiated levels provided. They have a Ready to Read series, Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3.<br />

Here's a glimpse at a video of two of my boys who partnered for the book hunt. They're explaining the features they found. Keep in mind, these boys are in first grade. One is six and one is seven years old and only had three lessons on text features by the time this video was filmed.<br />

<br />
During the time of the hunt, my class and I played several rounds of text feature BINGO together. With the help of a title one teacher, we played for several days during our reading block and then the following days during dismissal.<br />

Here's a glimpse of my class playing the BINGO game. I play several rounds with them. One of the rounds I called out the text feature and the second round I called out the definition. The kids developed a better understanding of the features!<br />

Following a few days of playing text feature BINGO, the kids pulled out their leveled National Geographic Reader that they used for their book hunt and were given my Text Feature Journal to explain the features they found in their book.<br />

Now that we are experts, we are ready for writing informational papers with text features. The kids spent several days reading and determining what facts would be best for a retelling. Many kids searched for a second book on topic in my library or the school's library. Here's a peek at one of the papers.<br />

In order for the kids to properly identify, order and create bold print words, I had partners flag the vocabulary word they'll be using in their glossary with sticky notes. They are to explain to me why they think the word flagged belongs in the glossary. This helps me gather a small group for reinstruction if needed. Once the kids have found vocabulary that can be defined, they then number the words to show ABC order. I check in with them once they're numbered and confirm the order before they recorded their words and defined them in their glossary.<br />

Hope your new year has started off with a bang. I'm popping in to share a little about my charts and how I display them in my classroom. Over the past few years I've shared my display on Instagram and often receive questions about the display.<br />
<br />
SO, let me start by reintroducing myself for those that might be new! I'm Cheryl Saoud. I started Primary Graffiti as Mrs. Saoud's Blog in 2009. I was a looping teacher from K-2 and communicated with my parents through my blog. By 2011, I merged to Primary Graffiti. Why Primary Graffiti? I was looping K-2, as mentioned above, and that's the primary years. I also had my students writing blog posts at the start, and as many of you know, reading primary students' writing is like reading GRAFFITI.<br />

So why are we here today? I've had teachers asking about my method of hanging charts in my classroom. Over the past four years, I've shared many posts of my classroom on Instagram. Many times, the charts on display were in the background of the post. Off topic from why the post was created, teachers would ask about my charts and how they were hung. So here it is...</div>

I display four hangers. What I mean by hangers are the hanging system. It's simply a laundry hanging system made by <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Spectrum-35000-Diversified-Hanger-Organizer/dp/B000KFVKVS/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=spectrum+hangers&qid=1549729507&s=gateway&sr=8-4">Spectrum</a> and sold on Amazon. I'm not here to sell you anything. This post DOES NOT contain links that I make money from. It's simply a system that works for me. If you click on the word Spectrum, I have linked the product.<br />

As you can see, I display the four main content areas in my classroom. I have charts for language arts, math, writing and science. I create charted posters to display a summary of what we are learning. My teacher created chart is created and hung after the lessons with my class. Behind my charted posters, I hang the class created charts on the same topic. I do believe the kids need to be a participant in the chart creating process. However, many of my lessons are charted over several days and several charts. I like to come back and provide a beautiful visual that, as said above, is a summary of the weekly focus. I clip all charts that go with the focus on the same hanger.<br />
<br />
Example: If we are working on addition, I have an addition charted poster with all the strategies we focused on as a summary. Each lesson, such as communatitve property, associative property, additive, fact families, etc are all clipped to the back of my summarized charted poster. If I need to pull a specific lesson, I unclip the lesson and move it to the front.<br />

I find using the specific kind of hangers on the hanging system works best. When I used cheap laundry hangers with laundry clips on them, The clips would get tangled and charts would easily fall. This style of hanger allows for a stronger hold on the charts and are smaller given the space between each loop is close together.<br />
<br />
Each hanger has a different domain. I spoke of addition previously. The hanger in front is subtraction. I also have a hanger for number sense, measurement, etc.<br />

<br />
So as you can see, this is my way of saving all charts for the year. Being able to recycle them when a specific standard is being readdressed. I can also spread out multiple charts on each clip during a specific lesson.<br />
<br />
Example: I have many different charts that can serve a purpose when independently writing. I want my kids to feel like all the resources are available at once. One chart is about capital letters. Another chart is about writing topics. In addition, I have a chart about adding dialogue. And, don't forget the importance of displaying the chart about the writing process. If we are in our writing workshop. I can move each of the four charts out on the language arts, math, and science hanging system to display all at once before moving them back after the lessons.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQ26CbhJwT7CaGDNEtf0_eLuXTvIxo1kZ2SxMOXZ75G0tdqb01E5EYRwKQbv-nPsANFBY_N_aghBWVZ4uj6BFUuQ_UGY2_qVzkld2V5VanESAqCovXS89W6N9Ux92VaTQXWKt2Blkmlk/s1600/6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1001" data-original-width="1016" height="630" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXQ26CbhJwT7CaGDNEtf0_eLuXTvIxo1kZ2SxMOXZ75G0tdqb01E5EYRwKQbv-nPsANFBY_N_aghBWVZ4uj6BFUuQ_UGY2_qVzkld2V5VanESAqCovXS89W6N9Ux92VaTQXWKt2Blkmlk/s640/6.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I'm aware I have a nice space that provides enough room for this display. Keep in mind, one hanging system can be powerful tool as well. Each hanger on the system could be a different content area, just rotating the actual hanger on the system. Be creative!<br />
<br />
PS. If you're looking for chart inspiration, I have a pinterest board devoted to it. Link <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/primarygraffiti/anchor-charts/">here</a>.<br />

Happy Teaching Friends!!!!<br />

Hey y'all. Over the past few months, I've worked with my students on cause and effect. This week, I pulled an oldie but goodie from my bookshelves. I get so wrapped up in new stories that sometimes forget to share the series that have been loved by my students for years, so I finally introduced Laura Numeroff: If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, Dog a Donut, Cat a Cupcake, and Moose a Muffin. Most of my little learners hadn't heard of the stories so the wow factor high!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We simply read and discussed cause and effect for the first few days. The kids enjoyed the circular stories and quickly made book trades since I have several sets of the series in our classroom library. By Wednesday we were working on sequencing artwork and reading between the lines. The kids completed their own retelling cookie and worked with a partner to explain cause and effect as they sequenced to the next picture.</div>

The kids were all smiles and giggles about the elephant's silly behaviors. In the coming weeks, students will respond to writing the freebie provided below.<br />

I'm popping in today to share a remarkable FREE resource for educators, students and their families. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXXCGCzNU9lVFJkOnMd7q-UyiMGt9tMrgVI9B4ZXtKcMezD7DJ63VVdbjmFEQX8jKBgljYfFxxprnw0EbP5hs0PTHLarZVM8BuY0Gd6lIwGsyAXfRWuN2g-jgGWquGlWrkXuMb7Vzk14/s1600/IMG_9995.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqXXCGCzNU9lVFJkOnMd7q-UyiMGt9tMrgVI9B4ZXtKcMezD7DJ63VVdbjmFEQX8jKBgljYfFxxprnw0EbP5hs0PTHLarZVM8BuY0Gd6lIwGsyAXfRWuN2g-jgGWquGlWrkXuMb7Vzk14/s640/IMG_9995.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was contacted by <a href="https://www.rif.org/">Reading is Fundamental</a> on Instagram and was instantly drawn to their cause. <a href="https://www.rif.org/">Reading is Fundamental</a> {RIF} is committed to a literate America where all children have the opportunities that literacy provides. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RIF was founded in 1966 and is a leading voice in children's literacy. As the nation's largest children's literacy non-profit, <a href="https://www.rif.org/">Reading is Fundamental</a> maximizes each contribution received. I'm writing you today to share a few ways to help and how to access some amazing resources! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
RIF has a partnership with grassroots network and distributes over 400 million books, impacting lives of more than 40 million children in the most at-risk communities by providing new books and literacy support materials to children with the greatest need, creating needs-based content to support varying literacy levels for children of all ages, and engaging educators and/or parents with actionable and trackable resources that can benchmark student progress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every child deserves an opportunity to own books, learn how to read, and obtain the fundamental building blocks needed to achieve their highest potential. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I mentioned FREE resources! <a href="https://www.rif.org/literacy-central#lc-home">Literacy Centra</a>l is RIF's free digital site designed to foster a love of reading and literacy development for children. There are high quality, supplemental materials available on demand for educators and families to access. You can search by book title, Common Core standard, Lexile, theme, and grade level! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.rif.org/literacy-central#lc-home">Literacy Central</a> features literacy activities, games, leveled reading passages, lesson plans, activity calendars, videos and more. What's better? You can organize your favorite titles and resources in a collections folder. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the newest resources is <a href="https://www.rif.org/beeline">BeeLine Reader.</a> This engaging technology displays text using a subtle color gradient, which wraps from line to line. This technique assists in visual tracking to support comprehension and a tool for struggling readers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's take a closer look...</div>

One of my favorite features is the <a href="https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/book/iggy-peck-architect">read aloud</a>. Providing my students with a way to listen to the story independently as an early finisher or during literacy centers is key for me! </div>

There are multiple lesson guides available. The <a href="https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/material/iggy-peck-architect-guide-educators">lesson template</a> for Iggy Peck allows me to assist my readers whole group with comprehension and provide ideas for making a themed <a href="https://www.rif.org/literacy-central/material/iggy-peck-architect-extension-activities-educators">STEAM day</a> for additional engagement. </div>

Can you believe this is all free?</div>

I mentioned before you can help. RIF is sharing the gift of literacy this holiday season. Gifts that Give Back site, as well as Literacy Central, are accessible at RIF.org and allows anyone to provide children nationwide with the gift of literacy. This online site makes it easy to provide books and literacy resources to kids with greatest needs. You can donate a book, support a RIF child, support an educator, support a community, support a classroom, or support a school library. I encourage you to take a peek. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As previously stated, <a href="https://www.rif.org/literacy-central#lc-home">Literacy Central</a> is a FREE Resource but their company and mission needs donors support to thrive. Literacy is an essential life skill that provides the foundations for a lifetime of opportunity. Help this cause because when children develop a strong reading skill, they have the confidence to strive for anything! </div>

Hi, sweet friends! I hope those that are back in school have started off with a bang! We've officially completed our first week and it was a whirlwind. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I begin the first few days introducing rules and getting to know each other. We filled the hours with storybooks, expectations, name games, collaborative activities, problem solving, morning literature tubs, exploring manipulatives, afternoon math tubs, and investigating science tools. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

The independent exploration of morning and afternoon tubs are critical for me to pull away and observe. I meet with a small group of kids to gather information about their academic abilities. The tubs consist of the alphabet and beginning sounds in the mornings and number sense in the afternoons. </div>

My morning lit tubs have activities that will review standards from kindergarten. The kids trace alphabet roads with cars, match upper and lowercase letters with playdoh, construct letters with alphabet parts, and sort beginning sound pictures to the corresponding letter. </div>

The afternoon tubs are equally as engaging for my group of six year olds.

I'm now gathering intel. Are the kids able identify letters and numbers? Can they associate sounds and values? Overall, I have a very diverse group of kids. Some will need letter formations and correlating sounds but most are able to build words in the semiphonetic spelling stage. A few are devleoping in the phonetic spelling stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While determining which students had a strong understanding of beginning sounds, we played an infectiously fun game of Beginning Sound Beanbag Snag. Students were given the task to collect beginning sounds based on words I call. I was able to see which students had misunderstandings. This block of time was filled with giggles!</div>

A few had enough skills to combine blends with word families. I quickly identified the long vowel word families were a bit out of the comfort for my group and pulled them for later in the year. <br />

My back to school phonics instruction was based on the needs of my students. We have leveled classes in our title one setting. I have a large percentage of language learners. We will continue to practice basic phonemic awareness and phonics activities to build a strong foundation. The activities will continued to be part of our daily instruction until it's performed with automaticity. </div>

There's no tired like the first day of school tired! I had high hopes for today and wasn't let down. The kids were fantastic. We explored the alphabet through different morning tubs while unloading supplies. We giggled at First Day Jitters when we met Sarah Jane Hartwell. We collaborated on rules with David Goes to School and hung them for all to see. We generated a list of writing topics and introduced how to manage supplies independently. We combined numbers through six and explored numbers through 20 in different afternoon tubs. We successful created our first sentences in our brand new student planners after recess. See, high hopes met! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, it wasn't all bliss. I arrived early to place their name tags on the tables and realized I forgot a stack at home. I was first to place my fresh prints into lamination but later realized first is last when other lamination projects are placed on top. I forgot about my coffee and let it get cold, even in my Yetti. I cut out my laminated activities instead of eating lunch to ensure I had enough materials in for afternoon tubs. I never managed a bathroom break throughout the entire school day but I survived.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Insert exhaustion here!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know it seems crazy but this tired teacher wanted to pop in and share a great flex seating option with additional storage that any teacher would cherish.</div>

Let's talk about the product...<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://gitadini.com/product-category/living/">Otto Storage</a> has a collection of stools made of a solid polypropylene material that can support a maximum weight capacity of 300 lbs. The stools provide a comfortable place for children and adults to sit. It's remarkable to think 7 pieces assemble so easy without hardware.<br />

<br />
Yesterday was a profession planning day. I raced to get all materials set out and ready for today, the first day with kids. I played around with my set up and decided to use this multi-purpose stool/table at each of my team groupings. Having a place to store team materials while providing seating to push into small groups is a key factor in why I selected the solid stools. </div>

Today was my first opportunity to use the storage and seating during instruction. I was able to easily manage my stored materials. During transitions, I set the materials on the stool which served as tables. Once students began interacting with their literacy and math tubs, I was able to push in with the kids without displacing a child from their seat. </div>

I have lots of color in my room and decided to balance the colors with white stools. I encourage you to visit their <a href="http://gitadini.com/product-category/living/">website</a> to see all the colors and designs available. I'm thrilled to be given an opportunity for one of my followers to win a pair of stools for their own classroom.

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm selective with my flex seating. I wanted to have alternative places to sit on a budget. The kids work, standing or sitting at desks. My independent stations, early finishers, and collaborative times are positioned around the room in different forms. I have low tables, a hut, scoop chairs, seat crates, a rolling table with stools, rug seats, and cushions for my counters. Find the balance that works for you and your management. My students were eager to know more about the alternative places to work but using the options wisely and without conflict is my goal. I'll incorporate all options by mid September.</div>

Hi friends! I hope you all are rested from the summer break and ready to head back to school. Today I writing to share how I make birthdays special for each of my students. After all, celebrating the day you're born is a big deal when you're a kid!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many students don't always have the same opportunity for celebrating their birthdays. Each year a small percentage of parents will contact me to celebrate their child's birthday. My heart breaks for the ones who don't. It's the little things we do to make the kids feel like they matter. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first display you see when you walk in my classroom door is our birthday graph. It's a beautiful and purposeful. Later in the year, it will become a focus lesson for graphing and data entitled "Celebrating Yummy Birthdays!"</div>

During preplanning, I prep the materials shown below for each child. Having the materials already prepped and easily available will help later in the year when I am focused on lesson, assessments and data. </div>

Each child receives a crown to be stapled on a sentence strip and worn at specific times. I have a birthday sign which is displayed for all to see. The birthday badge has a safety pin adhered to the back and is worn throughout the day. The most beloved item is the personalized lollipop from <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/personalized-birthday-celebration-swirl-lollipops-a2-5_1568.fltr?keyword=personalized+lollipops">Oriental Trading</a>. </div>

The birthday file is editable, allowing you to easily enter your student's name. The document autofills each editable fields within the file to make prep and printing easier. I keep a sheet protector adhered to the classroom door and simply add their birthday sign to be displayed for all to see. When my students enter the room, they are aware we are celebrating one of their friends.</div>

From the moment the kids realize the personalized lollipops are for their birthday, I receive real time updates. The personalized swirl lollipops are from <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/personalized-birthday-celebration-swirl-lollipops-a2-5_1568.fltr?keyword=personalized+lollipops">Oriental Trading</a> and come in packs of 24 for $13.99. Don't they look delicious?<br />
<br />
This is the first year that I didn't say "Love, Mrs. Saoud". I decided to say Happy Birthday without thinking the label already said Happy Birthday. Lesson learned. Oriental Trading allows three lines with 12 characters and spaces per line for your personalization needs. Thankfully, the kids are more excited about the delicious looking sucker rather than the label. <br />

I take super simple steps in hopes that each child's day is a special day on a budget. For my darlings who celebrate during summer break, I feature them in a "unbirthday celebration" in the weeks leading up to our final day of school. </div>

I would love to hear how you recognize each child for their birthday!

Hi primary peeps. I'm aware many of you are probably enjoying your summer. For some like me, you are so very close to a long break. In fact, I have two days left of this school, so I'm keeping this post short and sweet. This tired teacher is squeezing in one last activity before the kids are out, and the file is FREE for you!</div>

Printing on colorful cardstock helps keep this card standing on it's own. I shrank the writing template to fit inside the card.<br />

Goodness, being out of the classroom can be extremely stressful. I prepped some lessons to help ease the transition. It took moments to print and cut the chart art and scrabble tiles. I needed a few additional minutes to write notes for each content area. I'm fairly certain I spent more time looking for the book which was in a secret stash for this day. My only problem with secret stashes, I can never find them. </div>

This file was created with a themed day of activities that revolves around the story, Elmer. The resources are perfect for your own lessons or for an unexpected absence. A quick narrative will be needed if you're leaving these activities for a sub. The resources are easy to print and prep. I provided a preview of all contents of this file. {{Note}} This file does not include scripted lesson plans. It's the resources for the lesson and include: predicting, cause/effect, adjectives, character traits, and adding number strings.</div>

After quickly prepping the file, I drove up to school, glued the color graphics to chart paper, placed the color cards and scrabble images in a pocket chart, and laid the plans on my desk. I'm always so jealous at the activities a sub gets to do in my class. </div>

Hi friends! I hope your week is starting off with a bang! I wanted to share a few ideas I completed today. To be honest, Mother's Day creeped up on me. I'm usually much better prepared. The activities were created this weekend and completed today.<br />

I began with a read aloud. Have you ever read, My Mom by Anthony Browne? I love the simplicity of this text. The author reveals characteristics about mom through the voice of an unseen child. The text can be used in a variety of ways, from comparisons to similes. </div>

As for today, we shared a list of what makes our mom special. It was a quick round robin that we used to helped generate the start of our chart, similar to the one shown above.<br />
<br />
Once the students were engaged with a read aloud, I introduced the messiest task of the day. Normally I'd wait until the end of the day to paint, but I wanted time for everything to dry. I gave each child four tongue depressors and two popsicle sticks. The kids were asked to paint all their pieces white. The pieces were assembled and glued later in the day. The frame takes me back to my early years of teaching. The adorable fenced garden picture frame will make a perfect compliment to their crafted cards.<br />

At the start of the writing lesson, I read the story, I Love My Mommy Because by Laurel Porter Gaylord. It's another simple text that effectively activates my student's schema. We discuss ways we love our mom and why we would take the time to thank her.<br />

My class studied letter writing during February, so we reviewed parts of a letter prior to my students writing their own thank you notes.<br />

As my littles awaited a quick teacher conference, they crafted a card to be glued on the back side of the friendly letter. I set out the different templates and paper. I had one visual on display and told them they could use any color and flower design. The craft allowed me the time to move from student to student while the masses stayed engaged. FYI, I used paper from Michaels. Their pastels are on point!<br />

With the wildfires sprinkling snow like ashes all over the campus, we are stuck indoors. A little Go Noodle and the creation of coupon books kept us moving along after our math block. <br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hi friends! Just popping in to share a few activities we are worked on this past week. Contraction surgery is a themed day to support our previous learning of contractions. My kids have enjoyed this idea for years, so I'm excited to finally have a product that meets the needs of how I teach the skill.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a little background on building my theme. I purchased the lab coats several years ago on Amazon. The store is called Makerspace Lab. The coats came in a pack of 10 for $19.99. I've used the same coats for years even though they're disposable. As you can see, they've held up nicely. With that being said, they're disposable. I've lost a few snaps over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The goggles were purchased with my lead money several years ago. They're made by Learning Resources but I purchased mine from EAI Education. They were cheaper, costing under $3 each. There are several reasons I prefer to use the goggles over mask. The goggle are easier for primary students to adjust since they're worn like glasses. The adjustment extends at the ear. Also, I can place them in my dishwasher to clean them after they're used.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lab coats and goggles are over-the-top and not at all necessary. I can tell you from my personal experience, my students are much more excited when they hear we will be dressing as scientist today. They're aware this means an investigation. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're looking to complete the activity on a budget, ask your school nurse for a donation. We had masks and gloves on hand at school. The materials were donated to my students to use during our learning sequence. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following preview pages perfectly describe our learning sequence. I started the lesson with a quick brainpopjr video on contractions. We paused the four minute video throughout to determine the contraction before Annie reveals to Moby how the sentences are manipulated. Following the video introduction, we began a whole group activity. I'd already glued the chart label, doctor and contraction pill bottle to a piece of chart paper. The kids assisted me in locating the pill parts scattered in the center of the rug. As they're located, we glued them to our chart, corresponding with the correct pill bottle.<br />

Once we completed the whole group activity, students were given the "will" and "not" contraction foldable pages. I saved the mixed pages for the following day as a follow up to the concentration game. The foldables allowed independent practice while writing a contraction. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The next day, my students worked in groups playing a contraction matching game. The game provided practice with a variety of mixed contractions. My low level students worked to match the puzzle parts while my higher level students place the puzzle parts upside down and played concentration. Once the game was complete, my students were given the mixed practice foldable pages to complete.</div>

The day of the investigation, my students were given a doctor hat {nurse, but I didn't tell them}. They glued the blackline to a sentence strip and wore in the operation room. Here's what the kid's desk looked like as the activity began. </div>
