Hello Everyone! I love helping first graders express themselves through writing. For me, the first semester of first grade is all about creating a safe environment for them to feel comfortable putting their thoughts down on paper. We work on all the different ways to incorporate written expression into our day. I just love when one of my little would rather write than do anything else! Well we are now all about making our great writing even better...That means editing. I don't know about you, but it has been my experience that kids do not like going back to fix anything in their writing! Does anyone truly love editing? Hence the challenge, making editing engaging. After researching and trying different things and I think I finally came up with something that the kids can understand, use, and grow. We compared different pieces and rated them. We will use them as rubrics to compare our own writing. We learned about a few first grade friendly editing marks. We modeled editing on an old piece. Then we received out "Editing Super Visors," and special editing pens. I love to have my kids peer edit, so we got with our writing partners right away and picked a piece on which to work our editing magic. TaDah!! Engagement! Our Editing Super Visors I did put all these ideas into a micro unit about editing and rubrics. A quick set of printable rubrics with rating numbers for your own quick print and go micro unit, CLICK HERE!! Or CLICK HERE for a new and improved version of the unit!! I hope you can use some of this!! As always, if you see any typos or anything that should be fixed (or edited!! Ha Ha!) please don't hesitate to holler at me!! Thanks for stopping by for a peek! Stay tuned for more first grade fun!! Joyfully! Nancy

Stories about a mysterious tool that can cut out and replace genes have crept out from behind the lab walls and entered boldly into the public spotlight. Nowadays, CRISPR is everywhere. And we can’t help but let our imaginations wander, especially when the questions posed by this novel gene editing technology come straight out of a sci-fi movie.

This resource will help differentiate your students’ needs and will have your students feeling a lot less overwhelmed when responding to texts. Here's what you'll get: 2 Different Size Options Color Accents AND Black and White Options 80+ Sentence Starters 12 Chart Categories to include: My Prior Knowledge Asking Questions Making Predictions Summarizing Visualizing Making Connections Inferring Characters Evaluating Text Monitoring & Clarifying Author’s Craft Reflection Your students will feel empowered with these charts as they realize they CAN respond to their reading. These stems will give your students the small boost they need to accurately show YOU their comprehension and mastery of reading skills & reading strategies.

Ways to Use: Whole group discussion stems Interactive reading notebooks Guided reading (written response or discussion stems) In a picture frame at your guided reading table On binder rings (portable use) On your classroom wall (large anchor charts) TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jennifer Ellsworth. says, "This resource helps students of all reading, writing, and speaking levels feel more confident when answering text-based questions. I use it often in both whole and small-group instruction." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nadia B. says, "These sentence stems are perfect to help my students with writing written responses. They are stuck with how to begin. I printed the small versions and we put them inside the plastic protectors for collection cards." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Meridy W. says, "This resource was helpful as a reference tool for my students as they learn to write essays and recall information from their independent reading books. Thank you!" ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Tammika T. says, "This is a great resource for providing additional instructional support during the ELA block.

Hi! Sweet Friends, it's Peggy from Primary Flourish. I hope you are having a refreshing summer! I want to share with you a fun, and better yet, effective way to get your little writers to slow down enough to edit their own writing! Just call the COPS! I just love acronyms! They really help anchor concepts in the students' (and teacher's :)) minds! As you can see in the posters, each letter in COPS reminds students important details they need to check for in their writing. This pack includes all you need to teach your students to do their own editing! Use these 4 Posters with kid-friendly 'I Can Statements' to introduce COPS to your students, then leave them up in your classroom for easy reference through out the year. Students love flip books, oh my! This is a fun, interactive way to cement the editing concepts in their minds. I have included this printable for students to practice 'Patrolling with the COPS'. A blank copy is also included, so you can make up your own sentence for your students. I like to use this as a task in their morning work. Notice the COPS boxes to the left of each sentence - that is for students to put tally marks (or numbers) of how many of those edits needed to be made in that sentence. This helps them s.l.o.w. down and actually reflect on their writing. Now, we know there will be some little 'speeders' that rush though their writing without 'patrolling their writing! That's when they get a ticket! Just put a check under the area that need editing and attach it to the writing that needs editing. The student then needs to look back to find and correct their own writing. You can get 'Edit Writing with COPS' for just a DOLLAR for the next three days!

Hi everyone, it's Michelle from Mrs. Brosseau's Binder. This week I want you all to check out my RERUN Conclusion template. If you are doing science experiments this is a great way to consolidate their learning. The RERUN conclusion steps are: Recall - Describe what you did Explain - Explain the purpose of the experiment Results - State the results (and was the hypothesis correct?) Uncertainty - Describe any uncertainties that exist New - What are two new things that you learned. What I love about this is that it is so flexible. A student in Grade 3 and a student in Grade 12 could use this template. Another reason why it is great - you get the .pdf file and the editable PowerPoint file! Check it out!
Can you believe it is already the end of the school year? I can’t! It seemed like yesterday that I was setting up my classroom and welcoming my second grade sweeties! I am actually sad to end this school year. I have had such a fabulous class. I am going to hate to see them go. Our school is rezoning, so many of our kiddos are going to a new school next year. I always love when my former students come back to give me hugs in the morning. I am going to miss that from them. Not only is this year already going fast, but it is going to go by even quicker since we were off school this whole week unexpectedly. Katy received a HUGE torrential downpour this past week and our city was flooded. We were very blessed and did not receive any damage or flooding to our home, but there were many that did. During our week off, we were stuck inside as it continued to rain. Needless to say, I was very productive! I got a lot done around the house and some online projects done too! Flooding in Old Katy (Photo credit - The Katy Times) I wanted to share a few of my favorites… My A to Z Countdown to Summer was inspired by another teacher on my team. She said that she used to do something like it at her old school. I got to searching online for something, but could not find what I needed. So, like I always do, I created something to fit my classroom! The kids LOVE it! It is a great way to wrap up the year, and a fun way to count down the days until summer break! Since many of my kids are different religions, we don't really do Easter stuff. So, I decided to create some spring activities. My kids LOVE to use QR Codes. They love to use iPads anytime really! I made these "Spring Into..." activities as a review game. You can use this as a "Scoot" activity or just as task cards. I use mine during math station time, so I need it fairly quiet. I just print them out and laminate them. If you run out of time to cut them out or don't want to chance losing any of the cards, just print them out and put into a clear page protector! They come in color and blacklines. They also come in a variety of styles (they are even available without the QR Codes!). I teach second grade, so these are problems up to 1,200. Here is also something that will be fun to do at spring parties or for something fun to do when the kids are getting a little antsy! Use plastic chips or even candy as bingo pieces. There are two versions. One of them is a full color page (or half page) that is ready to go. The other is a DIY set where the kids color in the icons and paste them anywhere on their bingo grid! Both are awesome, and my kids really enjoyed it. They ask me all the time when we will play bingo again! These spring projects were so fun to create! Especially since I had amazing clip art from one of my favorites, Kate Hadfield! I have had so many compliments on my bingo cards when I use her clip art! Be sure to stop by her store and check out her fabulous art work. I have really loved looking at how she creates her items...so interesting! If you are ever looking for great artwork, you can shop her online store above or her TPT store! Another thing I worked on during our impromptu week off was my new United States Symbols Packet. This was so fun to put together! I actually made it after I taught this objective in school. I needed something that was more engaging and fun for the kids. I can’t wait to use it next year! And finally, the one that I am so excited about…. digital papers! FINALLY!! My husband has been working on these on and off for about a year (yes, I said a year!). We are a great team. I think up the stuff, he creates it, and I put it together to offer to my customers. So fun! I love that I can start using these in my products now. I won’t even tell you how much I have spent in digital papers over the last few years. It’s crazy! If anything, making these should save me some money! LOL! I hope you enjoy these products as much as I do. As always, please let me know if you have suggestions or special product requests. Happy spring!

Celestial symbolism in writing refers to the use of celestial bodies such as the sun, moon, and stars as symbols to convey deeper meanings in a literary work. Celestial symbolism has been used in literature for centuries. It can add depth and meaning to your work by conveying abstract ideas and emotions through concrete images. Symbolism helps to create a mood or atmosphere, and to reinforce themes and motifs throughout a text. The same symbol can represent a variety of things in literature depending on the context and the author's intent, which is why some examples may have more than one association.

Do your students need to practice editing their work? To begin editing work, students need to become familiar with editing marks. Below I have a Free Editing Marks Sheet for primary students. Students use the editing marks to correct sentences. This sheet is kid-friendly and easy to use. It gives an example of each mark. There are also friendly reminders at the bottom of the page for students to check their writing. This is perfect for any writer's workshop. Teach editor's symbols so students can think and talk like editors. Knowing the symbols encourages consistency when they edit themselves and during editing conferences. Offer students a practice sheet on a daily basis. Start off by using text that is not their own for students to edit. Then transfer that skill to their own work. Here is a another FREE Primary Editing Checklist to use with 1st graders or beginning writers. A fun way to teach the writing basics: Here are 3 packs to practice editing marks and fixing sentences. Thanks for stopping by today! See you soon,
