Freebie!! Word Wall

Hey everyone! I just wanted to drop in and share a freebie that I just made. I have to admit, I saw something similar on Pinterest, but it was one of those FRUSTRATING ones that didn’t link to ANYTHING when you clicked it.  So, I just made one pretty similar to the one that I saw. Basically what I intend to do with it is make my students a book for each 6 weeks. They will write down all of the words from the word wall and finish completing the assignment on their own to show understanding. I will probably allow them to do this during word work time or as homework. Just click on the link! Enjoy!

Whew! I’m Exhausted!

Well folks! I am officially spent! I have gone non-stop for almost 2 weeks straight. I’ve been staying up late, getting up early and planning, planning, planning for the school year! My feet are killing me from all of the standing too! I guess I got a little too comfortable sitting on my rear end this summer. What about you? Are your as tired as I am?

All week long my students have been working on a genre project for their writers notebooks and it is turning out to be a really cute project. I will share pics soon! I told them today that the best ones will be “featured” on my blog…so needless to say, they are excited!

Hope you are all managing better than I am! I am sure that in a couple of weeks I will get back into the swing of things!

Blessings,

Classroom Passes (restroom, etc)

So, you may have noticed that I have a thing for binder rings this year! I created these class passes and posters and decided (for my class at least) that I am going to take the full page posters, hang them from binder rings, and use clothespins on them to maintain my passes this year. I like the idea of being as germ-free as possible. What do you use for passes? I would love to hear from you! Click on the pics below to download these for a buck! Not bad, eh? :-)

Tiered Planning Page

This summer I took classes to get my Gifted and Talented certification through my school district. I learned a lot about differentiation and I came home refreshed and ready for the new school year. As a result, I made this Tiered Planning Page to help me out and so I decided to share it with you. Click on this link to check it out and download it for yourself. Happy Planning!

“Owl”dorable Critics Corner

My classroom last year was done up in owls…I just think they are so cute and there are so many teaching and room decorations out there these days that have owls on them…so it was easy the fall in love with them. That’s how I felt when I found these “owl”dorable owls, so I just had to make something with them. I had already decided that I want to put a Critics Corner in my classroom this year because I am going to really be asking the students to put a lot of thought in their reading this school year. What better way than to have a Critics Corner where students can leave book reviews on the books they have just read; recommending them to others by using a star rating system! Set includes 3 posters, 1 Star Rating Chart and a book review form for the students to use to fill out their critique. I am looking forward to using this in my classroom and I hope you like it too!

Let me know what you think! I used to work for a school that had a Pirate mascot, so I guess I am a little partial!! LOL! Click on a pic. below and it will take you straight to my download.
