Lucy was excited about her costume. Lucy I think I will be a cheerleader. With my great beauty, I am certain to win first prize at the big Halloween costume contest. Don’t you think so, Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown Halloween costume contest? Why can’t we just dress up and go out trick-or-treating? Why does there have to be a contest? Lucy Because it’s fun! Don’t you like having fun, Charlie Brown? Charlie Brown I do, but I don’t think a costume contest is a lot of fun. Lucy You’re just jealous that I will win and you won’t! Charlie Brown Good grief!

Student Success Criteria Student Friendly Goals Reader's Theatre Checklist 32 questions about the story that range from easy to challenging. Snoopy's Halloween Surprise synopsis: It is Halloween, and Lucy is bragging to everyone about how she will win the Halloween costume contest. Snoopy decides to compete, but he cannot make up his mind about which costume he wants to wear. Snoopy's friend, Woodstock, tries to help him, but time is running out. Will Snoopy be able to create a Halloween costume that will win the contest, and will he be able to make it to the contest in time? Do not fear the reader's theater format. Students love these adapted stories because they are listening to the story and they are a part of the story by playing a character within the story. Reader's theatre inspires reluctant readers to join in the fun. The strongest and most advanced readers in your class will encourage other students to raise their hand and participate in the story. I also use reader's theatre to add to my drama marks. If the reader's theatre format did not work for my students and I, then I would have stopped creating and adapting them years ago. Reluctant readers sometimes feel anxious looking at pages of text, whereas a reader's theater script is broken up into narration and different characters speaking, thus making the story more accessible to those students who have not discovered the incredibly fun activity of reading for entertainment. I use shorter stories with minimal characters in literature circles. When can one make time for a reader's theatre story in class? When I am not reading a reader's theatre unit with my class, I usually reserve Friday's for the reading of a one-off story. It is an event that the class looks forward to, since they do not know which story I will choose. Great for Librarians. I project the stories on the screen and assign characters in class. Some characters only have 1 line. A character like that is perfect for a reluctant reader. I have read these stories remotely/online and in class/in-person. I hope you, and your students have a fun time reading Snoopy's Halloween Surprise. Happy Halloween and Excelsior! Mr. Marvel: The King of Reader's Theatre

Isn't this quilt so cute? Didn't someone do a nice job? Can you believe she found all of these things while rummaging through some stuff in her basement and that she put the whole thing together in just a few hours? Well, I did and I love it. It is amazing what you can do with scraps of material and piecing things together. I had forgotten how wonderful it feels to create something and really take the time to think about how it should look. Now I have said it before and I will say it again - I am the LEAST crafty person around but when it comes to sewing, I can surprise even myself! I found a whole stack of these beautiful quilt squares that were perfectly cut in my basement along with some cute strips of matching fabric that were perfect for a border and some flannel that I just pieced together to make this sweet baby quilt. Actually, you could use it for a baby quilt or as a wall hanging. Please tell me that I'm not the only person who has ever put something away and forgotten they had it! I haven't made a quilt in a while and I usually have some sort of a pattern to follow but since I just plucked this material up out of my basement and didn't have any real plans, I just made it up as I went along by recalling previous techniques that I had used before when making quilts and just started sewing! It is a simple but cute quilt and it was so easy to put together. Here is what I did. You will need: 5" squares to make your desired size quilt (Hopefully you can find the stack that is hiding in your basement or attic!) Border material to make 6" wide borders Backing material to cover the entire back and bind the front of the quilt Batting Thread to match the color of the quilt Pre-threaded bobbins so you don't have to stop! I have a box of plastic bobbins so when I start a large project like this I always pre-thread several in the color I am using so that I don't have to stop. Scissors Quilters Ruler. Luckily I also had one of these in my basement. The lines on it are fading and it is pretty scratched up but it works. Sewing Machine All the seams for the quilt top are 1/4 inch Figure out how you want your quilt top to look by laying your squares out in a pattern. I had 5 inch squares so I just kept moving them around until I was happy with how it looked. Here is where the creativity first kicked in - it was a little uncomfortable for me, I must say! Now pick the squares up by starting from the top left row and pick up the 5 squares (that is how many I had in my pattern) ending with the last square on the right at the bottom of your pile. I now have 6 separate piles of squares with the first row being on the top of my pile. Take your first stack that will be your top row and move them close to your sewing machine so that you can just pick them up as you go. This part I really didn't use any pins because it is just sewing the squares together. When you get to the point where you are sewing the rows together, you definitely need to use your pins so that your seams line up. Pick up the first two squares from the stack you laid next to your sewing machine and match them up putting right sides together making sure that that edges and corners line up. Sew them together on one side reversing at the beginning and the end of the stitching to make sure the stitches don't come out. For demonstration purposes I went ahead and ironed the seams flat on the first two squares so that you could see how it should look. (Normally I would sew all the squares together in a row and then sew all the other rows piling them up as I went. I then would press all the seams flat and trim the extra thread.) Pick up the next square putting it's right sides together with the second square you sewed and sew it together just like the first two and continue until you have finished that first stack. When you are all done, it should look like this. Press the seams open so that the material lays flat. Pick up your next stack and sew them together just like the first row. Sew each stack together until you have finished all rows and press the seams of all of them open. Don't these look so very nice? And yes, that is a little twig in the top right hand corner of the picture from my Christmas tree left over from December. Embarrassing! Now you have a nice stack of rows piled up in the order in which you want them to be sewn together. Take the first and second rows and put them right sides together pinning them so that all the seams match up. It is really important to pin at this point because as you sew the material may shift and then your seams will be off. Sorry about the blurry picture. This is how your first 2 rows will look after you have sewn them together. This picture is how they will look after you have pressed the seams flat. It is so much easier to sew when you iron things flat. This is what the top will look like when all the squares are sewn together and all the seams are pressed flat. Nice, if I do say so myself! For the borders I measured the length of the quilt squares sewn together and added 6" plus 1/4" seam allowance on each end. I cut two of these pieces - one for the left side of the quilt and one for the right side of the quilt. I then measured the width of the quilt squares going across and added 6" plus 1/4" seam allowance on each end. I cut two of these strips as well. I found my old quilters ruler in the basement too so truly, this didn't cost me a dime AND it made the job so much easier! I first sewed the top and bottom strips onto my quilt squares. This is how it looked when I was done. I then sewed the sides on and pressed all the seams flat again to make sure that my next step would go smoothly. Since I am piecing this quilt together with random pieces of material, I started by laying the backing down first. I had already ironed this material flat so it was very easy to work with. I then laid the batting down and flattened it out so that it also was completely flat and yes, I did iron the batting! It is 100% cotton so I could lightly press it. On top of that I laid my completed quilt top and pinned it all together so that it wouldn't slip. Some people use basting spray to hold all the pieces together but I didn't have any so I just used my good old pins. It works just as well except it can be painful! Now that you have all three of your pieces pinned together it is time to trim the batting and backing. I first trimmed the batting so that it lay even with my quilt top. I then cut the backing so that there was a 3/4" border all the way around the quilt. I then folded and pressed the backing in 1/4" all the way around and then folded it again pressing the other 1/2" in and pinned it. Here you can do some fancy stitching if you like. Since this was my first time making a quilt in ages AND it was about 1:15 a.m., I decided to just go with a straight stitch, and a simple corner. Mitering is not a good idea when you are super tired. So here she is, all finished. It's not perfect and it is pretty bright, as my husband said, but I think it looks nice considering I found it all in a lovely box stowed away in my basement. Happy quilting!

UPDATE!!!!!!! HERE IS THE LINK TO THE POST WHERE I HAVE THE EDITABLE FILES FOR YOU!!! :) ENJOY!!! It's that time of the month again. Thanks Farley! As much as I want to rewind to July, or even June..it's time to get it together because the nuggets are coming so soon!! =) I love to read a Ron Clark book each year before the new school year begins. He pumps me up like no other! I LOVE my job but he just puts it over the edge and gets me so excited to help mold some new minds and make a difference for our sweet little ones that will grace our presence for the next 180 days! So I only had the past two days to put together an entire classroom. August 1st was the first day we could get into our rooms (it was really the 6th but I had a MAJOR panic attack and they felt sorry for me so they let me in early!) Nick and I have had a beach week planned for just the two of us (we realized we have NEVER just taken a vacay by ourselves, we are always accompanied by family and/or friends) and then this weekend we fly up to New York for a family wedding. Needless to say these trips have been planned before I moved schools. Worst timing EVER. I didn't think I would have to wait so long to get into my room. So I headed in at 7:30 Wednesday and finally called it quits when I was kicked out around 5. Thursday was a repeat of Wednesday. I even packed lunches for those days so I could keep working. I have these great before/after shots that I wanted to show you but...my wonderful camera is locked inside my new classroom. Seriously? I would leave it. No vacay pics either. To make you feel even more sorry for me, I dropped my iPhone and shattered the glass. I went to the Apple Store today and since it's Tax Free weekend they are not doing replacements. So no camera or phone for the next week. Actually it may be nice to be without a phone! Spend some quality time with the BF! With open house coming up, I wanted to share with you some resources I have put together. (Shout out to Cara Carroll from The First Grade Parade for such great ideas!) These are the info papers I will give to parents at our Open House. I used to give an entire handbook (think college syllabus) but I'm pretty sure that got tossed in the trash as soon as it got home (if it made it there). I condensed into the most important things that parents want to know and need to know. Click here to download them in GoogleDocs. (Graphics are from the one and only Scrappin' Doodles.) Thanks to Kristen at A Teeny, Tiny Teacher for this awesome behavior management plan! Ok, the BF says it is TIME! I'm just praying I can RELAX and not think about the million and one things I will have to do next week... Happy Friday!!!
