I don't know how many times I have heard this from substitute and special area teachers, but it has definitely been too many! And I am determined to win this battle! So, where do you go when you need ideas? Pinterest, of course! I made up some "Quiet Spray!" You spray the ROOM to signal children to get quiet. Or you can just leave the bottle empty. Mine love the mist in the air. It is so funny! {I do not condone spraying a child! As much as you might want to! Ha! ;)} Original Idea I had to have some quiet critters! They are so cute! I give them incentive tickets with it. Our school participates in a School Wide Positive Behavior Support program, and we use cub cash as an incentive. They can cash it in at our cub store. This is my "on task" container with the critters. I always change out my prizes. This month I am using crazy straws {from the Dollar Tree}. You would think they were gold the way they carry on about them! Ha! They really want them! They even take it to lunch and drink their milk with it! So funny! Original Quiet Critter Idea I have uploaded these FREEBIES onto TPT, because Google Docs has not been very cooperative lately. :( Click the pic below to download the crazy straw labels. Click below to download the other quiet labels, along with some pep cards. Hand the student the card to redirect. When they have read it, they flip it over and you can then pick it up. You can redirect a child without having to stop and interrupt learning! Love these during observations! What do you do to keep your class quiet? I must say these are working for the most part; my little ones just need lots of reminders! On a sidenote {and mainly to make myself accountable!}, I am working on a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory math and literacy unit. Be on the lookout! I also can't wait to share what we did for Valentine's Day last year. I will save that for another post. MLK Jr. Day is coming up! Here is the little display I did last year. I found it here. Students wrote and then typed what they wanted to be when they grew up. I can't wait to see what everyone else plans on doing! Have a fabulous Friday! ~The Lemonade Stand Teachers

Here's a hands-on, creative way for your students to practice differentiating between hyperboles and idioms! This is an engaging print-and-go activity. Students begin by reading sentences in glasses. If the sentence contains an idiom, they color the liquid in their glass yellow (for idiom-ade). If the sentence in the glass contains a hyperbole, they color the liquid in the glass brown (for hyperbol-tea). The finished products make a unique bulletin board or fun school hallway display! It can also be used as a novel entry in an interactive notebook! HERE'S WHAT YOU GET: TWO WORKSHEETS- Students read the 16 sentences written on the glasses and determine whether each contains an idiom or a hyperbole. They write I or H at the bottom of each glass to display their answer. A PAGE OF BLANK GLASSES- Students can write their own idioms and hyperboles on this page! Answer keys CRAFTIVITY IMAGES- This page includes the title box and the lemonade stand image. Student-friendly instructions (with photos!!) that detail how to assemble the craftivity. Additional notes for the teacher with explanations on materials that need to be gathered and additional instructions. TWO TEACHING POSTERS- Both contain the term (idiom or hyperbole), a definition, an example sentence, and an image. Check out the PREVIEW! Here's what teachers like you have to say about using this idioms and hyperboles activity with their students: ⭐️ Alicia G. said, "Fun resource that my students enjoyed. There were several saying they hadn't heard, which was a great discussion starter." ⭐️ Randy P. said, "My students loved this activity and they were very engaged. I loved the little preparation involved in utilizing this activity, it took no time at all to get it started. This was an excellent morning work and week before break activity that was very impactful in every way. It proved very handy in at a moment's notice." ⭐️ Blair S. said, "We loved this craft! We also had lemonade and tea after we finished and the kids were super engaged." ⭐️ Kristina C. said, "I loved this activity. It was not as easy as I thought for my students. I had them work in pairs to complete this and they had fun! Listed below are some of my other figurative language products: Figurative Language Worksheet Packet (7 worksheets!)

Lucy's psychiatry booth is a running gag in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. In a parody of the lemonade stands which are operated by many young children in the United States, Lucy van Pelt operates a psychiatric booth. Other characters come to it to tell Lucy their problems. She responds by spouting useless advice. The psychiatric booth is a prime example of the more adult-oriented humor that Schulz incorporated into his comic strip, making it accessible to people of all ages. The

It's that time of year again! Open House season is here and we are busily working on projects to share with our parents on our big night. One of the big projects my students will be working on is their Animal Diorama and Research Report. This was something I did for the first time last year, and it was a HIT! I got this idea after my son had to make a diorama for his first grade class last year. We had so much fun creating his animal diorama as a family project, that I decided it was something I had to do with my class too! I brought the idea up to my second grade team, and they were all very excited about it... so we went for it! We decided to give the assignment the week before STAR testing. Since we wouldn't be giving homework during the two weeks of testing, that would give students more time to research, gather materials, and work on their projects. Students had about three weeks to complete their projects. We decided to have the students bring in their completed dioramas the day before Open House. We were thrilled with the results! Here are a few student samples from last year: Along with this diorama project, our students will also be completing an Animal Research Report poster with information and illustrations, as well as a writing assignment and an oral presentation. Our students will be getting both a Science and Language Arts grade for this project. I'm offering my Animal Research Report poster as a FREEBIE on TpT! Here's a sneak peek: You can grab it here. Animal Research Report Poster If you're looking for everything needed to do this Animal Diorama project with your class, take a peek at my Animal Diorama and Research Report Project Pack! It's got everything you'll need in one convenient spot! Last year, I struggled to find examples of dioramas online to show my students, so I've included detailed photo samples of my own students' projects, as well as a step-by-step presentation for your students. Here's a preview of all of the goodies included in this project pack! In addition to the Animal Research Report Poster and step by step presentation for your students (which can be projected onto your Smartboard or other type of computer projector), I've also included a student-friendly rubric with grading expectations for all aspects of this project, as well as a grading rubric for teachers to use when giving final grades for this project, student instruction sheet, writing template for research report, and a presentation outline to help guide students on what to focus on for their oral presentation. It's everything I struggled to put together last year for this project in one convenient place!

I'll admit that I thought my students had a pretty good grasp of basic calendar skills. After all, they've had daily calendar activities as a part of their daily routine since preschool, and we even spent the first trimester in second grade doing daily calendar activities as well. I guess I just made the mistake of assuming that they knew more than they did. So when our last benchmark test rolled around, I didn't think they would have a problem answering a few questions about monthly and yearly calendars. Boy, was I wrong. Sample Question: "About how many days are in one month?" Average student answer: "SEVEN!" Sample Question: "How many months are in a year?" Average student answer: "SEVEN!" And finally, Sample Question: "How many weeks in one year?" Average student answer: "SEVEN!" Are you seeing a pattern here? Okay, I did have a handful of students who did very well on the benchmark test, but there were too many of them who are obviously still confused about days, months, weeks, and how they are all related to one year in the concept of time. I noticed that many of them kept answering "SEVEN" because they know that there are seven days in a week. Beyond that, there's still a lot of confusion. My second grade team and I sat down the other day and started discussing things that we're doing in our own classrooms that are working. One of my coworkers shared this fabulous idea (thanks Denise!) for monthly calendar practice from one of our math workbooks that she's been doing with her students each month. I decided to make my own version and adjusted some of the questions, but you can grab it here: Here's what it looks like: I am so excited to get started on these with my students. I'm planning on copying a ream of these little gems front and back and having them ready to go in my paper drawer! I love it when I find a great new resource to add to my routine! Hope it can help you, too!

This post is actually about an activity we did a few weeks ago. {I'm trying to catch up on all my posts!} I have seen on other blogs where teachers have students sort the books in the Scholastic catalogs that we all have lying around. I decided to incorporate that into our author's purpose is as easy as pie theme with this super fun activity. We have visited author's purpose throughout several units this year, so students were already very familiar with the concept. I had saved the Scholastic catalogs from October and gave each student one. They cut out each book cover and placed them in a pile. I picked up the pie pans at the Dollar Tree. Each table got three pie pans. The students were so excited when they came in and saw their "baking" gear laid out for them to use. I placed bulletin board paper on their desks to prevent the little book covers from falling in the floor. The cute chef hats are made from sentence strips and tissue paper. Once they had their book covers cut out, they got to sorting! We had to have several conversations throughout the activity to clear up any confusion with some of the trickier book covers. And they were having conversations of their own, debating on which pan to place some of the books. It was so interesting to hear their take on author's purpose! At the end, we pulled out some of the books and discussed whether or not we thought that pan was a good choice for the books. Some groups decided to make changes to their sort. I was so excited to hear them using the language I had taught them and applying what we had learned. If you are interested in doing this little activity, you can download the author's purpose labels by clicking on the pic below. I just printed them on cardstock and folded them. Graphics by Melonheadz This was our anchor chart students referred to all throughout the unit. The mini posters are from my Author's Purpose Unit. We were so lucky to have a snow day today! I got caught up on so much and got to stay in my sweatpants all day! Win, win! Have a great rest of the week!
