So I haven't blogged in what seems like eternity (over a year!!). My new (school) year's resolution is to post at least once a month. That sounds doable, right? Correct? Answer me!... Aw, there's probably nobody reading this poor blog anymore. I'll have to work on that with a little freebie! :) I helped with a little math PD at my school this week and I shared some things I'm using for fact fluency for my little firsties. I've loved many of Kathy Gursky's ideas from www.theschoolbell.com for many years. Go check her out (click on number families for math stuff). I've used her fact booklet with my kids for years but this year I changed up the order a little so I thought I'd share it here. My kids keep their fact booklets in their take home folders so it goes home with them every night (no excuse for not practicing those facts!). When they pass a set of facts I mark a smiley face in the box so parents will know to move on to the next set. If you want details on how I assess math facts I can post it later but you'll have to wait a month as I'm fulfilling my quota of posts for this month :) Click each picture to download. **Disclaimer- That parent note that will be on the back of the booklet once it's folded is pretty specific to my classroom/school. You may want to type up your own and paste it on top. Sorry this isn't editable. Now for my gameplan for this year. At the end of last year I was thinking of how much my kids needed to practice and use polite manners. After a little searching for a manners unit I decided to just make my own. I finished it just in time since we start school next week, eek!!! I made an interactive student booklet that will go along with 2 weeks worth of character ed. lessons on manners. I just posted it in my teachers pay teachers shop and I'm going to mark it down 20% for the big back to school sale! I'd love for you to take a look at it (click image)! And if you like it follow my shop so you get notifications when I post new things or have sales. Thanks, you're awesome :) P.S. - this post is for you Amanda, my apologies for making you wait on the edge of your seat for over a year :)

As I'm sitting on the couch watching Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel, I'm thinking about Christmas in the classroom and how much fun we had discovering our elf this year! Let me just tell you all about it... We had been practicing our inferencing skills the past week and the bright idea came to me, what would be better than introducing our class elf than through a mystery box inferencing lesson of course!? First thing I did was find my mystery box and put our elf inside with his letter from the North Pole. Then I created 4 clues to describe our elf to use for the mystery box activity. I played this up BIG y'all. I was explaining the activity and looking at the clues (with this puzzled look on my face) and revealed to them that these were NOT the clues I had made for this activity! Someone must have came in and wrote new clues over the weekend...they flipped! So on we went.....each student got a recording sheet and 1 clue. They recorded their clue and then walked around to find and record the 3 remaining clues their peers had. Once they collected and recorded all 4 clues, they traveled back to their desk to put together the clues and visit their schema. They recorded their inference at the bottom of their paper. Let me just tell you how excited they were once they read all their clues and "thought" it was an elf!!!! We shared our inferences with each other and the time had come for me to reveal the mystery! We rationalized through why they thought it was an elf and why it couldn't be other things they may have thought. And there he sits, inside our mystery box. I can not imagine introducing our class elf any other way than this in the future. In fact, I was so excited I made it into a download just for you! Now you can introduce your class elf through the mystery box or just practice inferring. I've included 5 different sets of clues for the following mystery items: elf, candy cane, stocking, ornament and Santa hat You can find it available now in my Tpt store or by clicking on the product picture above.
