Well, it is definitely NOT beginning to look like Christmas in my room! Our district came down hard this year saying absolutely NO Christmas...
Part 2!!! Bakugo is really smart, I guess he reads his myths and fairytales too. I have no idea where this is heading, but I have a general idea! I'm just kinda going with the flow so we'll see where they end up. #izukumidoriya #bakugoukatsuki #selkie #bokunoheroacademia #bnha
Books Part 2 Wonderful book with great illustrations of the varied ways vegetables grow.. up, down, and around. Explore various ways to move arms, legs, whole body, etc., then teach song: Begin with exploring moving up and down; play slide whistle and have students move up and down, vary playing slowly, quickly, legato, staccato, etc. Then ask them to move one arm ONLY, then elbow only (very funny), hand only, thumb only. It's an interesting thing to observe! Teach song; every time students sing "up" they will move higher, "down", lower, and they can choose HOW to move "'round and round". Perform movements and song with book, then divide into small groups to create rhythms in 6/8 based on words like: seeds, grow, plant, flowers, sunshine, and various names of veggies. Develop first as a class and display. One rhythm possibility: Eat your veggies.. ta, ti, ta, ti. Play around with creating these ostinato, transfer to UPP (unpitched percussion) and add as a "B" section to song. Perform again with book. I LOVE this book!! The pop up version is the best.. truly! I used this to teach and label rest with kindergarteners last year and it worked so very well! My lovely friend and fellow music teacher, Noreen Hofmann wrote this song to Mortimer.. it is my favorite of the many "Mortimer" songs I've heard. Divide class in half once orchestration is learned; half will play/act the characters from the book, other half will play orchestration, switch. Spring Is Here is a cutie patootie book your kids are sure to LOVE! A great lesson from fellow teacher and blogger, Thom Borden! Recorder lesson, too!

Today has been one of those days where you just want to pull your hair out and wish you could start all over. My kids are bouncing from left to right, using their voices non stop! Of course on this type of a day, all I want to do is rearrange desks, re-do line order, seating arrangements on the carpet etc etc etc! I came across this really fun idea that requires less talking in the classroom and more working... and thats exactly what I need! Hope you all enjoy this. Maybe this is change me kiddos- haha who am I kidding! Download (251 KB)
One of my favorite things to do for Earth Week and Spring was to plant seeds and watch them grow. Large lima beans work great for this, and before planting I always soaked beans in a small amount …

Folktales, Fables, Fairytales, and Tall Tales come up at some point throughout the year with all grade levels from Kinder to 5th grade. Over the years, I’ve found some absolutely WONDERFUL anchor charts that helped me create a visual reminder for my students. Here are some of my favorites! These... Read more
Good writers tell the reader how they are feeling! I started a new author study on Nancy Carlson. Her books make great lessons for teaching writing and reading comprehension. Her stories are loaded with voice and themes that young children can relate to. I read to the class Henry's Show and Tell. For the first lesson in this book we talked about what we notice, she does in this book to make it a good book. A little boy quickly said she writes feeling words and feelings pictures. You can see below some of the steps we took with this mini-lesson and some examples of student work. The group knew why this was strong writing. I think the most important part of this lesson was to say that today at writing try to put your feelings in your story because that's what good/strong writers do. We are having fun, and we are happy T: Tell me what you were doing with your friends that made you feel that way? Melissa is a child who just started writing independently, so I am not going to push her with having to add more but I am planting a seed When I was a baby, I was a happy baby. T: Why do you think you were a happy baby? You need to go home and ask your mom what did I do when I was a baby? Did you smile a lot? Did you make funny sounds? I was angry it was time to go home, I did not want to go home T: When this child first shared she did not have the first sentence. After she had shared her writing with the group, she added her feelings. I felt sad I did not want to eat lobster. This child forgot what she wrote, but if you look at her illustration she is capturing her feelings quite nicely.When she did read it to the class she said something like, " I was playing with my friends and feeling happy." T: This is a child who just started writing independently, so I think it is great that she did all this writing. Her illustration is perfect, and it is appropriate that rereading would be difficult for her at this time. We made this feelings chart. Next lesson, when I see another child uses the word HAPPY I will encourage them to find a different word that means happy on the feelings chart.
Hello Everyone! We are having a great week! I actually got in some guided reading groups today!! Yippee!! I love it when all the training and expectations for incorporating D5 actually settles in and works like a well oiled machine! Sometimes I just look up from what we're doing and just smile because most of the kids are doing it!! Really doing it!! I am so excited for tomorrow! Way to go, guys!!! The week after next we will begin our fairy tale unit (integrating our reading and social studies) and I wanted to share what we've been working on. This little unit is more than just reading (retelling, fiction/nonfiction/ poetry, inferring, reader's theater) and social studies. I've included some word work, writing, hands on visuals, and some math as well. Here are a few pics: Wave your wand here for your free 90 page unit! If you can think of anything else you want added to this, or if you see something that needs fixing, just leave me a little note!! I hope you and your kids have as much fun working on this as I did putting it together!! Thanks for stopping by!! Til next time!! Have a great rest of the week!! Joyfully! Nancy
Fairy tales are old stories told and retold again, but do they deserve a place in a modern language arts curriculum? Besides the fact that the Common Core standards require exposure to fairy tales, there
We are studying different "fantastical" genres in class (myths, legends, folktales, fairy tales, tall tales). All of these are along the same lines, but have some unique features that make them different. Explaining these subtleties to 11 year olds is rather....tricky. So, taking my cue from Mor over at A Teacher's Treasure, I had my students create these foldables. (she did hers on Mean, Median, Mode...so I changed it up, but still was inspired by her awesome foldables) To begin, we read an informational article about mythology and its various characteristics. After discussing them, the students then began to work on the foldable. There were four separate sections. 1. Myth -- this was for the definition of a myth 2. Symbolism -- students wrote why symbols might be included in a myth 3. Creation of myths -- why were myths created in the first place 4. Morals in myths -- why were lessons or morals a big part of myths The wrote the answers to these questions on the top flap of the foldable. Then, the students divided the inside of the foldable into 8 parts (2 for each of the four sections). We read a myth called First People, about how summer came into the world. The students then looked for the elements in this myth. They wrote them out in the sections as shown. Afterwards, we read The Flight of Icarus. The students then, in partners (using their partner pals), found the elements of a myth in that story. The entire project had them talking about myths, discovering what exactly made a myth a myth, and finding evidence in text. There was so much going on with this easy little foldable....I can hardly contain my excitement for it all! ;) Here is the final product. I created a template for you to use in your class. I would make copies for the kids to use as a guide OR just project the one copy up on the ELMO/overhead projector (to save paper....that one is for Lindsay ;) ) They can then create the actual foldable on blank SQUARE paper. One word of warning, when you print it out, the lines will not reach the edge (due to printing margins...darn!) but that is ok. The kids should still be able to follow it well enough. I am working on ones for legends, tall tales, fairy tales, and folktales as well. Once I get those completed, I will let you all know!
Item description Free plant life cycle mini book for bean plants. Learn about beans and the life cycle this spring by planting beans in class and reading this simple mini-book. Students can read the book a few times with help from a teacher or with peers, then color the book and add it to their unit folders. Kindergarten and preschool students love learning about life science and this tiny book is just one additional component. Kids prefer a lot of hands activities and getting a cup of soil and planting a bean seed is simple. Unless the seedlings are planted in an outside garden or pot, they probably won’t grow flowers that turn into pods, but the first few stages of growth can easily be observed inside. Enjoy!
