I have several art lessons that I did not post about yet from this past school year, so look forward to a few more art project ideas this summer. This lesson is fairly simple to prepare for and teach. “Notan” is the term used by the Japanese to mean “light/dark” space. We can also learn about positive/negative space through Notan designs. My third graders studied Asia this year in their Social Studies class, so this was a nice tie-in. To … Read more... →

This year, I decided to make some modifications to my classroom decor, and I am thrilled to share this reveal with you all.
Interested in preparing for third grade over the summer? Here is a list of basic math and reading topics to give your child a head start to the year.
I moved from Elementary to Middle School two years ago. This will be my third year in fifth grade. I really love setting up my classroom but it is so much easier and less time consuming now. Primary teachers go above and beyond!!! Here are some things that I do to make it even easier. Things that I do to get ready: (If you make a to do list before you go in it helps) #1 Clean out closets and organize...purge I quickly go through all my cabinets and drawers. I am still weeding down my teaching materials, if it is not science or math related, I have been giving it away. Last year, I saved photo copy boxes and when I finished a science unit I put it in a box and labeled it. The copy boxes fit in my closet. Take note of materials and what you may need as you organize. #2 Name Tags...no more labeling I was obsessed with labels and then went to a number system in my elementary classroom. No more!!! I have two homeroom classes and found it hard to use numbers. The only thing I label is their desk nameplates for the open door day. I bought the $1.00 chart strips from Target. The kids want to see who is in their class. We have the kids bring their nameplates with them when we switch classes the first few weeks. Fifth graders can write their name and label their own workbooks and notebooks!!!! Our students share desks and they write their name on masking tape and put on inside. Buy extra sharpies!!!! (Hint...laminate first. If there is an error, write over sharpie with dry erase marker and it comes off!!!) #3 Bulletin Boards..leave them up all year!!!! There are fewer bulletin boards in Middle School. I cover the boards in my classroom with fade less black paper and have not changed them since I moved. I cover up over the summer. I did update the middle board with a STEM section this year Design boards that you don't have to keep changing. It will save you time. #4 Copy for First Week (3 days)...Keep it Simple You will not get through everything you have planned. I was looking at my plans from last year and there were so many extra things added like an assembly, school pictures, fire drill, school tour, etc. The activities that you do plan take longer than you think. It is good to have extra things, but it should be focused on starting curriculum, like setting up interactive notebooks, going over math practices, multiplication quiz, etc. Choose your B2S activities carefully. I am doing a Math About Me Using Equations and a Fifth Grade News sheet. I do have team building things planned as well. (you don't want to repeat from other grades) Start out slow and establish your routines and expectations! #5 Planning I like to create a pacing guide for my math and science units. Luckily, our grade level team has created it together. There is so much to teach and it keeps me on track. #6 Furniture I like my desks in groups. We do a lot of group work in math and science. I also want my desks facing the front board, because I use the projector for math and use many video clips. I bought the supply carts from Target and have one for each group. If they are not using supplies, they can be moved. There is two extra shelves to store notebooks and anything else we need. The carts are on wheels and can be moved. I use a kidney table as my desk with cubbies for storage. The teacher desk was taking up too much space and I was never at it. I keep my lap top on a cart near the front board. I use a student chair at the cart, because they teacher chair was cumbersome. Have a great school year!!!!
Charlotte's Web might technically be a book for kids, but E.B. White's classic 1952 novel is just as entertaining for adults as it is for children — which is why we have absolutely no problem reading it for our kids every single time they ask. And it's a classic for a reason — the heartwarming tale of unlikely friendship has a message that will never get old. Charlotte (spoiler alert!) might have died right after sparing Wilbur's life by saving him from slaughter, but her spirit will live on in the book forever. We've gathered our absolute favorite quotes from the story...

My husband and I founded an art company in 1990. I was a pen & ink illustrator, designing detailed pen & ink illustrations by hand; national card companies turned my pieces into greeting cards. Two children and 20 years later, I became a teacher and loved being in the elementary classroom for a dozen years- half in third grade and half in kindergarten. Now that I have retired from teaching, I’ve returned to my drafting table. This zentangle coloring sheet is one of a continually expanding array of black and white high-resolution PDF images, from an acorn to zodiac animals. These coloring pages bring quiet, creative focus to many calm moments: rainy days, read aloud time, academic themes, and fast finishers. I’ve illustrated over 160 different zentangle designs. I hope you find one that you especially like! If there is an image I have yet to create, just ask and I will add it to my list. Thank you for your interest and support of the arts! ~Pamela
