One way to help your students be successful during "testing season" is to teach them test-taking strategies. I like to do this not only for preparing students for testing, but it is an important skill that they will need for any assessment in their future. Below are just some quick examples of the important things that we discuss when it comes to test-taking strategies.

Students are stressed more than ever. Sometimes that stress is manifested in the form of impulsive outbursts, anger, meltdowns, crying, yelling, arguing, or other types of emotional release. Kids don't always know what to do with all of that strong emotion and teachers and parents can not always drop everything to help. Kids must learn to recognize and regulate their own emotions, particularly strong emotions. This article discusses encouraging children to manage and regulate their own emotions and behavior. It is a great alternative to clip charts and time out chairs!

Classroom magazines have become an invaluable resource in my classroom for exposing my students to informational texts. Our language arts curriculum lacks quality non-fiction selections. Classroom magazines, such as Time For Kids and Scholastic News have been great for exposing my students to engaging and current non-fiction material. However, I use to struggle with the best way to work them into my language arts block. This post explains what I have done to make the most of all those classroom magazines. Each year, I am so excited when our magazines start to arrive. However, they use to quickly start pile up, week after week, and I found myself squeezing them in whenever I could. Looking back, I realize that I was using them as filler. My challenge this year was finding a way to integrate them into my language arts program in a way that was more meaningful and focused. So, here are several ways that I have been using magazines in my classroom this year. Focus on Text Features At the beginning of the year, we first spent a lot of time focusing on the parts of a magazine, particularly the text features. We talked about each feature and students identified them in their magazines. Then we talked about the information that can be gathered from different text features, and how they are used to add meaning to the text. Later, my students started “collecting” text features in a packet. We wait until the end of the week, when we are done with the entire magazine, then they cut out the different text features and sort them in their packet, adding to their “collection” each week. They love this!! Focus on Text Structures After several weeks of reading the magazines as a class, we began to focus on the different text structures. Instead of simply summarizing or identifying the main idea, we began to take a closer look at the structure of each text. We talked about the different structures and identified signal words for each type. Now when my students read and respond to each article, there is an emphasis on the particular text structure. Practice Close Reading Now that my students are comfortable with text features and structures, we put it all together to practice close reading. My students use a checklist to read through a text, at least 3 times to identify text features and structure, to find the main idea and evidence, and to truly comprehend what they are reading. Close reading helps students to dig deeper and to understand what they are reading in different ways. Expand Student Vocabulary Reading classroom magazines exposes my students to new ideas and new vocabulary that they might not otherwise be exposed to. They use context clues to determine the meaning of each word. Then they define and draw pictures for each new word to show their understanding, and to help visualize the meaning of the new words they learn. They have developed quite a collection! Talk and Write About Informational Texts Lastly, I use magazine articles as meaningful topics for class discussions and writing assignments. Sometimes, after reading a debate or opinion piece, my students will share their opinions with their classmates, then write an opinion essay on the topic. I also ask them to choose articles to do additional research on, in order to produce an informative writing assignment. It is so important that students use texts to write, and that they learn to refer to texts when providing evidence in their own writing and conversations. The current events and ideas from classroom magazines serve as a great springboards for both conversation and writing. I like to have my students organize all of their materials in reading folder, so that they have all the tools they need when working with non-fiction texts!!

You're in the middle of your writing block during the day and students are sitting at their desks (maybe on the floor or in bean bags dispersed throughout the room) writing. Smoke is coming out of their pencils. They are writing epic stories about dragons, or spaceships -- or something equally as epic. This is your classroom every day, right? (Not) "I don't know what to write about!" (now that's more like it!) At least that's what *I* used to hear a lot. Well, no more. Give even those most reluctant writers something to talk about with "Roll and Write." You can make anything work if you turn it into a game, right? Here's how it works. You give each student a copy of the page below to place in their writer's folders. When they are stuck on what to write about, they simply roll a die three times. The first roll indicates the setting of their story (so if I roll a 3, my setting is a party on Friday night). The second roll gives them a character, and the third roll gives them a plot. The stories can turn out pretty hilarious. It encourages creativity and originality. No three rolls are the same. This freebie even includes a blank 'Roll and Write' sheet for you to swap out new combos every so often. Even that student that hates writing can get on board with a story about a frazzled teacher at the beach last summer that breaks her ankle. Oh shoot - did I just jinx you? I wish you no harm, a teacher needs her summer! :) Grab your freebie here! I'd love to hear about the stories your students come up with! Pin this post for later:

BLANK KNIT VERTICAL Coloring Page : Printable File * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is a DIGITAL PRINTABLE FILE for you to download. No physical item will be shipped to you. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * This is my original drawing of a piece of stockinette stitch knitting. Its "blank", with no design, so you can use it as a blank slate to work out your own designs - fair isle, stripes, checks, whatever! There are 19 stitches across, and 37 rows down. This is a vertical format. The stitches are purposely hand drawn and not all exactly the same, to give it a more 'hand knit' feel. The "horizontal" blank knit coloring page is here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/485140119/blank-knit-horizontal-coloring-page SIZE: 8.5" x 11" (215 x 279 mm) (close to A4 size - slightly longer) You will receive a pdf file and a jpg file. You can resize the jpg file to be smaller if you have the right software and know how to do that. (You could color them and make greeting cards.) The art on both files is the same. Its just up to you which format you prefer. USE: Once you've downloaded the files, you can print this drawing out onto any kind of paper you like, and use colored pencils, crayons, markers, or paint to make it your own unique colored illustration! I recommend using a card stock paper if you're going to use any 'wet' media, as it will absorb the paint or markers better. If you'd like a 'warmer' look you can print it out onto buff or tan colored paper. You may use and enjoy this file for you own personal use only. Print and color as many as you like! Give them away! Make crafts! Go crazy! But please do not make copies to redistribute or sell, or sell the colored art. Please read my complete Terms of Use in my Policies: https://www.etsy.com/your/shops/drawingsofknitting/policies OTHER STUFF: If you have any questions about what you're purchasing, or don't understand what a digital file is, please 'convo' or email me before you make your purchase, since I'm not able to issue a refund after you purchase due to the nature of the item (instant digital download).
