I am teaming up again with Doodle Bugs Teaching to bring your five things about my week! It is our second week of school and I finally feel like I am helping teachers more! I am an Early Childhood Inclusion Education Coach and today I created a social story for one of my former students who needs practice filling his classmates and teachers bucket! I love brainstorming with teachers and supporting them as I feel like everyone needs support and encouragement in the field of education and I am so blessed to have time to do that! I am armed and ready to enter our PBIS building in our district! I was on the team who created our own PBIS and implemented it in the building. It has been awesome and the kids love getting their tickets and being rewarded for positive behavior! I am so honored that they included me, as I am only in the building on certain days! My dad is having spinal surgery next week and we pray that everything goes well and that this stops the pain that he is having that is making walking and life extremely difficult and painful! So I ask for any person who are willing to pray to say a quick prayer for my father! Thanks in advance! I know what the power of prayer can do! I have been updated and adding to my Color and Number Interactive books and bundles on Teachers Pay Teachers! Included in each packet you get four total books.

So fun! I hope everyone is having a great week! Thanks for checking out my blog!
If you’ve been with me the last two years, I have been creating science and social studies interactive books. These help teach those standards while providing a cross curricular structure and routine!
Interactive books for preschoolers are a great way to get them involved in a book in meaningful ways. Since social emotional learning in preschool is key, I created this wonderful "I Can" interactive book. Preschool children will learn important concepts about what it means to be responsible. This colorful interactive book for kids gets them reflecting on how they can and do contribute each day to their own homes and families. All you need to do to prep the interactive preschool book is print, cut out the cards, and laminate for durability. Your child will likely want to go through it again and again!
Aloha friends! I hope this week is more in synch and flowing smoothly. We had a slow start, but I feel like we are off and running into the 3rd quarter. This year it seems like everyone got on the interactive notebook bandwagon. I was honestly so busy that I didn't really look into it until the end of last quarter. I have always had a science journal, but it never really got used enough. We maybe recorded a few experiments and basically just sat collecting dust. I decided to look into some interactive notebook posts and got a few ideas. This is what I came up with to work for my class. I decided to use one notebook for both subjects. I divided it right down the middle and I put tabs on the pages to separate the sections. I also made a standards page for each subject. What I have included are any worksheets or activities that we do for each topic. We started with maps and globes. Now were moving onto Economics. I am using a variety of activities that I have collected over the years and have now compiled them into my different interactive notebook units. {Click Here} For science we just started with matter. I found some fun poems from various resources and just retyped them. We discussed properties of matter and I had them do some writing. I plan to continue with some experiments and predictions for next week. I am no expert on interactive journals, but I like that I can use a variety of activities and include them in here along with note taking. At the end of the year everything is all in one place. I made a few printables to help get my journals organized. The standards are for 2nd grade here in Hawaii, but there may be a few other things you would like to use. Just click on the picture to grab the file in Google Docs. Do you use interactive journals in your class and what kinds of activities do you include? How long have you been using them? I would love to hear your thoughts and ideas.
Are you an English teacher who sees their bored students zoning out because your vocabulary activities are monotonous and stale. I found a way to reinforce vocabulary lessons.

And, for paperless classrooms everywhere, it's easy to share the digital notebook version. Grades 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12, homeschool | Middle School ELA | High School English
