Academic Sentence Frames help students explain, describe, and clarify what they are thinking. Students who struggle in reading and writing and English Language Learners can strongly benefit from these sentence frames which will help them organize their thinking and be a springboard for their own writing. These sentence frames also offer support for students to formulate sentences orally as well as in their writing. They provide a great scaffold to “frame” students’ thinking! Includes: - Academic Sentence Frames for Inferencing, Predicting, Cause and Effect, Classifying, Collaborative Discussions, Author’s Viewpoint, etc. - 20 printable Academic Sentence Frames which are only a sample of the sentence frames in this package.

Tattling vs. Reporting - Does tattling drive you bonkers? Here are some fun classroom behavior management worksheets (picture versions too!) to remind kids the difference between tattling and reporting. Kids will cut, sort, and paste situations as being either tattling or reporting. It is a great way to remind students of the classroom rules and expectations. GREAT for back to school! You could even do it as an interactive whole group activity and act out/talk about each situation with your students so they understand the differences. I have heard from Kindergarten teachers all the way to 5th grade teachers that said these activities really helped their students a lot with tattling! Read some of the feedback to see for yourself! :) I also included a bonus cut and paste of Good Choices vs. Poor Choices. Enjoy! *ADDED*: I have added 3 new pages that have picture support versions of the sorts! There is 1 Tattling vs. Reporting with pictures and 2 Good vs. Poor Choices sorts. If you have already purchased this, simply redownload to get the new goodies! :) These go great to read along with the tattling books shown on this post: Read Aloud Books by Behavior That is a great list of books to read for each behavior and I love the ones on that list for tattling!

Hi friends! I'm so excited to share a project that turned out so well in my classroom! I really wanted the students to have more ownership in our classroom this year and to use resources that we put up on the walls. After discussing this with my ECE we decided to co-create the alphabet and number line with the kids. First we co-constructed the alphabet. I googled co-constructed alphabet and found this image to use as the basis of our body alphabet. Photo by TSJ Photography And here is how it turned out! We backed the consonants onto black construction paper and the vowels on red construction paper. Then we added some red glitter to the vowels. Here is a close up of the letter H. Next we worked on the co-constructed number line. Before we started the number line we learned number formation with Dr. Jean's "The Numeral Song". You can listen to the song here. Then I split up the tasks over a few days. On the first day I took pictures of the kids holding their fingers up to make numbers. I also sat with a group and had them copy the number and the number word off of our number cards from our math word wall. On the second day we dotted the numbers on the ten frames with bingo dabbers. I called 3-4 students at a time and had them choose a number they liked best. I kept going until we had at least one ten-frame for each number. On the third day I had the students come and trace the lyrics to "The Numeral Song" to put at the bottom of the poster. Here is a photo of the finished product: And here is a close up! I also tried to get a shot where you can see most of the letters and numbers! They are above our whiteboard. Both the body alphabet and the co-constructed number line were huge hits in our classroom! Have you ever made a co-created alphabet line or number line with your students? If you have a blog post on it please leave a link in the comments! I would love to check it out! Thanks for reading!
