The Kindness Club Challenge is a great activity to help teach kids how to be kind and ways that we show kindness at home and at school.

I believe that taking part in random acts of kindness is something more should spend time doing. The smallest gesture can make someone's day!

Do your students need a boost with empathy and kindness? Use these positive self-talk coloring pages to teach social emotional skills while practicing a calming coloring activity! This includes 20 pages focused on strengthening social-emotional skills for students. Self-Esteem Boosters Every page focuses on a new way to boost confidence. Some positive self-talk phrases include: Empathy matters! I can show compassion. I will show kindness today. I can brighten someone's day. Let's all be a little more kind. A little kindness make a big difference. Kindness can change the world. And many more! Strategies to Use Complete one page as a “do now.” Start morning meeting with a coloring page. Assign one per day as an “affirmation of the day” to discuss. Have students color to create a student-created bulletin board. Keep in a calm-down area. Use for early finishers. Assign for homework or extra credit. Provide before or after high-stakes testing. Why Teach Social Emotional Learning Skills Social and emotional learning, referred to as SEL, is the process that helps kids and young adults learn critical skills, attitudes, and mindsets for social and emotional success. These skills cover five major areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationships, and responsible decision-making. These are the foundational skills students need to be successful in school and beyond.

Great ideas from an librarian, SLP, and PK teacher!

A Show and Tell Adjective activity for primary students

Have you struggled with guided reading in your classroom? Do you teach whole group, small group, or a combination of both? I have been teaching for 20 years and I finally feel comfortable with all forms of guided reading. Believe me, I have been around the block with too many programs to name them all. For 2 years I have been working on building the perfect whole group guided reading curriculum for first grade. The success I felt this past year with my students was undeniable and I'm so excited to share it with you. Here is what Guided Reading with a Purpose looks like. This is picture of SOME of the books included. Guided Reading with a Purpose is REAL LITERATURE. Each day a new book is shared with your class. My students love picture books and they love hearing a new story everyday. The books that are shared are based on the weekly theme. After sharing the story with your class, you work on the focus. If the focus is main idea and details, then all week you will work on that skill. Your students will have loads of practice and a full understanding of it all while enjoying a new shared reading each day. When picking the books for the units, I made sure they were still in print and readily available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble or Scholastic. Guided Reading with a Purpose is STANDARDS BASED INSTRUCTION. Each week the focus is based on a standard. It is all mapped out with the focus standard stated on the chart. Keep in mind many more standards are integrated in daily lessons but I thought it was important to state the KEY focus for the entire unit. Guided Reading with a Purpose provides a weekly LESSON PLAN GUIDE for instruction. We as teachers all know what is best for our students so a framework is provided for you on how I teach each unit with suggestions for extensions throughout the week. Guided Reading with a Purpose is filled with anchor charts and posters. This is by far one of the most beneficial pieces to use each day. I'm not going to lie, the prep work of copying and laminating can be time consuming but it is well worth it. Everyday after school, I would set up my posters and charts to prepare for the next day's lesson. It really helped guide my discussion after the shared story. I also used it to review after they completed their independent work and as a reference for many writing activities. It was almost like a teacher's helper throughout the lesson. Guided Reading with a Purpose provides lots of PRACTICE. I always tell my students that if they want to be better readers, they need to read. This is true for writing and anything in life.. Practice makes progress. For each shared story there are different opportunities to practice the focus skill. I tried to give differentiated version so there was choice. Ultimately, you will know what is best for each student or class. In this picture, my students are comparing polar bears to penguins. When they finished, they shared their posters with their classmates and we hung them up in the classroom. Guided Reading with a Purpose has GROUP WORK. My students LOVE to work together. Throughout the year we did more and more group work. Nobody wants to sit at their seat and do paper work all day long. There are ample opportunities to work together and learn from one another. During the week that we were learning about text to text connections, students were encouraged to bring in two books and share the text connection. Guided Reading with a Purpose has SHARING & PRESENTING. Some students love to share and some are very reluctant. I will be honest, I'm not a huge fan of homework or big projects. I tried to make things that came from home simple or something my students could do independently. I think sharing and presenting is an amazing skill to develop and work on (plus it is also a standard). My kiddos loved the opportunity to share and were always so proud. (So was their teacher) Guided Reading with a Purpose is WRITING. Do you struggle with teaching writing? I'm here to tell you that children's literature is a great way to generate ideas for writing. Each story, I provide a connection to use in writing with either informative, opinion, or narrative writing. My first graders are super writers by the end of the year. Guided Reading with a Purpose includes RESEARCHING. Another one of our standards is research. The last few units are filled with research based learning. It is such a fun way to spend the last month of school. They are more independent, they get to collaborate and they share all that they have learned throughout the year. Guided Reading with a Purpose included CRAFTS. Tons and tons of crafts for the entire year. I personally like to change things up a bit from year to year. This allows me the opportunity to pick and choose what I want to do with my kiddos and work on their fine motor skills at the same time. I had an INCREDIBLE year last year using my Guided Reading with a Purpose. My kids grew so much and really LEARNED the different reading strategies. There were numerous times I laughed inside when they would say "Mrs. Mitchell, I can make a text to self connection". or "Mrs. Mitchell I know this is non-fiction because it has a table of contents and real photos". I can't wait to teach all of these units again this year and see the same growth. Here is what people have said about this unit... "WOWZA ... This is one of my favorite TPT purchases. It has it all. Thanks for all your hard work." "What an amazing and comprehensive bundle! This has helped me organize my guided reading time and meet the needs of all of my students. Thank you for an amazing resource!" "Wow! I have never spent this much on a TPT resource at once but after watching your FB videos about this product, I was HOOKED! I am so excited to use this in my classroom and appreciate all of the hard work and time you put into making this! Thank you!" "Love the craftivities and how you organize your product! Your booklist is also practically the same as the ones I had in mind for this year!"

I can't believe it is already May, and we are down to only about twenty days of school left! It didn't really feel like May a couple days ago when it was snowing, but we are going to try and pretend that didn't happen. Let's make corsages for Mother's Day! For Mother's Day this year, I wanted to have my kids make something to go along with the little Mother's Day Booklet that we do. So, I came up with the idea to make corsages after seeing really cute tissue paper flowers on Pinterest. I got all of my materials at Walmart and Michael's. With my 50% coupons at Michael's, it only cost about $30. Rather than try to include step by step photos, I made a video of how to make it. These are some of my kids corsages... I thought they turned out great! I guess a couple moms even wore them to the Mommy Son dance last weekend! At one of our professional development days this year, a fellow teacher talked about all different kinds of technology to use in the classroom. One of my summer goals is to experiment with some of the things she talked about like Plickers, remind.com, Edmodo, and Prezi, to name a few. I thought I would share a couple of ways I have used technology in my classroom, and then I even have a giveaway to share with you! I have used Class Dojo for a few years now, and I know most of you probably already know about it. This year, I began using it a little differently. In the past, I would give prizes at the end of the week to the kids who had earned the most points. It wasn't long before certain kids gave up, knowing they just couldn't compete with those students who are always doing what they are supposed to be doing. No matter how hard I tried to catch them being good, they just weren't in it to win it, if you know what I mean. This year I created a reward chart and just allowed the points to accumulate. When a student reached a certain point level, he/she would earn that reward. This way the students weren't competing with each other. They were just trying to earn as many points as they could to reach the next reward. I made a chart with each student's name on it and colored in the space when a reward was earned and used. If you would like to try this out with your class, you can get my Class Dojo Behavior Management Set in my TPT Store for free! Something I tried out for the first time this year was RAZ Kids. This is a program affiliated with Reading A to Z. I have used the Reading A to Z books many times, but I had never heard of RAZ Kids. Well, apparently special education teachers in our building have been using it for several years. It is an online program where students can read the leveled books and then take quizzes on them. My school bought a couple additional subscriptions to the program and each teacher was able to sign up a few of their lower readers to participate. If you are an upper grade elementary teacher, then you know how challenging it can be to get some of your readers to read books at their level. The students can also listen to the books being read to them and then read them on their own. It is definitely something that I will want to continue to use. I'm so thrilled about my 4th Show & Tell! I am guest posting on Minds in Bloom with Rachel Lynette! It just so happens that my post about how to put an end to endless book browsing during reading workshop time is going live today.
