Hi everyone! Now that I am a little more caught up on sleep after the first week of school, I want to show you more of my Travel-Themed classroom! I got these colored parasols from Goodwill- brand new!- and the small trunks in the corner are from an antique shop in the Texas Hill Country! I'm just a little proud of both these finds! Over the summer I started collecting maps of all kinds and used some as backgrounds on my little shelves. I think its the details that make a room! I stuck them on with sticky tack so I can easily change them out (if I change my theme again). These suitcase and passport labels are from my World Travel Theme Pack. I use the "suitcases" as name tags and the "passports" number the hooks so my kids know which hook belongs to them. I covered boxes with crumpled brown paper to look like leather suitcases. I just use them as display above my cubbies. I will use the laminated butcher paper transportation posters to display academic vocabulary words. The Alphabet Pennant is also from my World Travel Theme Pack. The city signs and clocks are from my Pack as well. I attached a cardstock ring to the back of the clocks to make them pop from the wall. Again, I love details! I printed out a couple different compass roses off the internet and put them in various sized embroidery hoops as sun catchers. The mini hot air balloons are from a tutorial in my Pack. In the past I've had a hard time finding places to display the anchor charts I make with my class so this year I decided to give myself a whole wall! And of course, I added a Dr. Seuss quote to the hot air balloon. Up-close of my number sign. Whenever we leave the room, my Location Leader moves the clip to the appropriate box. My Leader-Themed Jobs Chart FREEBIE. This behavior chart is travel themed and uses some of the language from The 7 Habits of Happy Kids! A bonus, non-travel themed area: My Birthday Chart! In the past, I've struggled with having all the goodies ready to go for my kids on their birthday. This year they are all packed and ready to go! I can just take the child's bag down and hand it to the them! It was a long post but I wanted to share everything! I hope school started/is starting well! Dylan {The Savvy Schoolteacher}
In order for my ELL students to continue some kind of virtual learning, I created these Google slides as journal prompts. In my district, students are not required to do work for a grade during this quarantine. Therefore, coming up with something engaging was very necessary! I created 10 slides with different journal topics. Students can write on the slide and return it to you. Of course many of my kids write on a separate piece of paper and send it to me. These prompts are best for Middle School and High School Students. Each question is followed by a sentence frame. Depending on the level of your students, you may want to write your own response first. See some examples below: Check them out here: ESL Journal Prompts - Google Slides Thanks for looking!

The past few months my students have been making feathers for a group mural. This idea was inspired by my friend and celebrity in the art community, Cassie Stephens! Head on over to her blog and check out her magical art teacher'n treasures at Cassie Stephen's Blog!! Her original inspo was international street artist, Kelsey Montague. Her inspiring murals challenge people to ask the question "What Lifts you" "What makes your heart Soar?" My students are going to be writing about their passions and inspirations that "lifts" them! I want each student that comes to my art class to feel as though they are walking out with wings on their back, so they can bravely rise up to their dreams with courage and passion! I want them to feel confident in themselves and know that the sky is the limit! First, students painted on watercolor paper with tempera paint using a value gradient of tints and shades using one color plus black on the left and white on the right. They had to blend the colors so thet the different shades did not look like stripes One group did primary and secondary colors red, orange, yellow, green blue, and violet. The next group would paint intermediate colors, red-orange, yellow-orange, yellow-green, blue-green, blue-violet, and red=violet Fourth and fifth graders used 9' by 24' paper and 3rd graders used smaller paper the next class, students then traced different shapes of feathers using white prisma color pencils and cut them out then they decorated them with unique lines and designs with white prisma color pencils My wonderful and extremely talented student teacher, Naz Kaya Erdal and I layed them out on three large sheets of black butcher paper until the feathers looked symmetrical. Once we finished the shape, we taped each feather down to the paper with painter's tape Then I hung that bad boy with TONS and tons and TONS of staples!! The next morning the kids were SO excited to find their feathers turned into GIANT wings!!! I hope the parents who come to visit will snap a pic in front of the wings and post to #ArtisFly and #riseupandsoar hashtags for social media!

Sometimes science and math flow so well together! At least that was the case today. We moved straight from making groups of tens and ones into our science skill of sorting objects in a variety of ways. If you don't know by now, I LOVE introducing concepts with the combination of an anchor chart and book! This little cutie was inspired by Cara. If you've never heard of this book, it is a fabulous way to introduce the concept of sorting. The little mouse has a lot of "junk" and sorts it all out based on how things are alike. It leads the kids into guessing the sorting rule with its rhyming structure. They loved it! I put together 4 buckets and let each group decide the best way to sort their objects. Easy, quick, and simple lesson DONE!
