This year our art department's cultural focus area is Australia. Third graders created Australian inspired art. We looked at Aboriginal (Native Australian) art and discovered some key characteristics of Australian Art. We learned about Aboriginal dot paintings and x-ray paintings. Aboriginees use dots to create implied lines and pictures. X-ray paintings are often found on cave walls. These paintings show both the outside and the inside of the the animal at the same time. We used printmaking techniques to print shapes onto our lizards using neon paint. We finished our designs with dots using short dowel rods! Learning Goals: The learner will... - describe key characteristics of Aboriginal art - use x-ray painting concepts - create a dot painting that emphasizes line - develop fine motor skills and techniques required for printing shapes
My students love to talk. #chattiestclassever But I don’t want them to just be talkers. I want them to be thinkers too. And, I want them to be able to support what they’re thinking with reasons. That’s when I started using discussion starters. Keep reading to find out how you can try discussion starters FREE. ... Read more
I love to start the year building classroom community with Peter H. Reynold’s books like The Dot and Ish. They are great read aloud books to begin a growth mindset activity. Both books are great for teaching kids that it is okay to take risks and make mistakes. Those books also go very well […]

Classroom management........I'm a firm believer in using those first precious days of the school year to set the tone and "lay down the law". I also believe that if you don't have good classroom management in place, not a lot of good teaching will be going on:/ I run a pretty tight ship. I let the kids know from day 1 what my expectations are and they catch on really quickly. In the past I have always used play money and a classroom store for part of my classroom management but that was getting really costly on top of a few other things that I didn't like about it. This year I bit the bullet and decided to try the famous CLIP CHART. There are only a million out there to choose from...lol. I finally decided on this super cute one from A Cupcake for the Teacher:) Everyone gets a clip with their number. I have to confess, I wasn't sure how effective this would be with 4th graders......well, it works:) If they have to clip down they hang their heads as they drag their feet over to do it....I also love that they have the opportunity to get back on track and clip back up:) I also have some that can't sit straighter in their chairs trying to get my attention to clip up:) Each level is a point, starting with Ready to Learn, Great Job is 2 and on up. At the end of each day, I have a clip chart monitor that records each person's points for that day. (by their number only) Every 2 weeks I total the points. The kids have the option of "spending" their points or banking them. What do they "spend" them on you ask???? They get to pick from my Take a Ticket set. I made one set in color and laminated it and put it on a ring. Then I made black and white copies. The tickets all have different points on the back. Those are the ones they get to choose from. Once they choose what they want, I give them the black and white version to keep and use:) Some kids "cash in" their points, some bank. The BIGGEST ticket item is a behavior bead tag. These have been a HUGE hit in my classroom this year. I got them from Run Miss Nelson's Got the Camera! The kids just love them and usually bank their points so they can save up to get a different tag to add. So that's my classroom management for this year. (Most of it...I have something different for homework) Love the clip chart system.....simple, easy, and effective:) Happy Tuesday all!
The summer weather has us itching to pick up a good book and inspiring our students to do the same.
When you're a kid, adults look like they've got it made. They get to decide their own bed time, drive cars and eat whatever they want. Images showing what we all thought they did with that freedom when we were kids.
Second grade is developmentally when friendships start to have trouble. Students are afraid if they don't do what a peer tells them to do, that they won't be their friend anymore. Students are worried that they have no friends. Much anxiety arises outside at recess as students begin to negotiate with their social skills. They are often unaware that the way they behave can affect the way others feel about them. This week we're discussing friendship-blocking behaviors and friendship-promoting behaviors. I started by reading How To Lose All Your Friends written by Nancy Carlson. In this book, the character gives them tips on how to lose your friends. By flipping it around, It is a humorous way for kids to see how different behaviors can be hurtful to others. Afterward, we made a chart together to describe things kids do that make us want/not want to be their friend. Afterward, each student was given a brick and a fence post. On each brick students wrote down an idea of a friendship-blocking behavior to add to our "Unfriendly Wall." On each fence post students wrote down an idea of a friendship-promoting behavior to add to our "Gateway to Friends." All of the ideas written down were added to our bulletin board to share with the rest of the school.
It's Monday! I'm so excited to link up with Tara once more for her Monday Made It. I love this linky party - all the ideas every single week!! I'm going to share some things that I posted about over on Instagram :) I really need to learn how to hold back! In my defense though, I'm usually just sooo happy to be able to check something off my long to do list. First up, a little background - At present I am mommy-sitting my mother - actually since Friday. My grandma passed away a while back, and this past weekend my dad, aunt, uncle, and sister made the trek to southern California to clean out her mobile home - giving away a ton of stuff, getting it ready for a relator to take over, and to have a very small ceremony to bury her ashes next to my grandpa. My mom wasn't able to make the trip due to her health - hips and heart aren't working super great. Since it's summer and other than having the responsibility of 3 kids I'm pretty much free... you get the point why I've moved back into my parents house for a long weekend. Of course my boys wanted to come with me! So, I'm missing my hubby, but at least one of us has to stay home to take care of the dog at night. At least we've been able to see each other every day. Because of the jaunt over here, I don't have many options to complete other than the huge amount of stuff I brought with me... and since there really isn't any housework to do here (it's been so nice) it's been basically been watching girly movies with mom, playing board games or legos with the boys, or doing school stuff. Of course I head home today for a bit to reload and see what mess my house is... :) Here's what I've accomplished since last Monday! I made my behavior chart with colored iPods as the color level. I'm using my pocket chart sized labels. I laminated and made up my student achievement necklaces. I collated/stuffed and filled my Student Homework Folders. Inside I have Reading Menu from 3rd Grade Thoughts, a Monthly Spelling Menu from Christine Statzel, my first unit spelling list, the 4th Grade Common Core Mathematics Overview set by Jivey, and the Homework Sheet from Teaching in Room 6. Printed on both sides to save paper. :) I sorted my objectives by standard in these expanding file folders - one for math, one for ELA. I designed and printed out my Student Notebook set - they are all ready to go into the students' binders when I get into my classroom. Another gotta love technology moment! I made up some subject pendant banners - one for each subject to hang as the titles above my bulletin boards. I ended up counting to 9 over and over again (specifically 33 times), putting 9 of each of the popsicle sticks into sandwich bags. At least they are all sorted and ready for place value! I also made it through a week long giveaway with 7 different Rafflecopters :) I'm exhausted but it was fun chatting with so many people through email. All done for now... so much fun! I also made 880+ new friends over on Facebook and over 200+ Bloglovin' friends in the past 2 days! Some cool 2nd grade bloggers asked me to join them in a Blog Hop (I guess since I used to teach 2nd grade for years and years...) - It was so much fun. Lots of free resources that we put up for grabs in those fan freebie tabs. If anyone wants to organize a 4th grade one, sign me up! Well that's it! If you aren't following me over on Instagram - well I'm there and I've decided it's actually fun. Kind of like a picture only version of Facebook. I love my pictures! :) Have a great night/day!
