On everyone's blogs I keep reading about how short weeks are the longest. I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! At first it seemed to go ok...then I was in lots of meetings. The meetings seemed to make the week longer. They were all union related (I'm the building rep). And I love helping my colleagues out. I will start my week tomorrow with a continuation of meetings from last week. My students were excellent though! OH and I forgot...we spent the first two days back from a 3 day weekend taking Discovery Assessments. BLAH. More productively the students created awesome adjective illustrations! We brainstormed adjectives as a class and made a huge list on the board. Then I pulled popsicle sticks for students to choose what word they wanted. As they chose their word, they put a check mark next to it...so we had no repeats. I showed an example of expectations on the projector... Students had to show how their word would look. I had "hot" so made mine wood on the bottom part of the word and fire burning the wood at the top to show "hot". Then the students had to use the adjective properly in a sentence below the word. Here's my example...HOT teeny-tiny was made by a student...look at the teeny-tiny bugs Purple was designed by a student who chose to use different shades of purple. Obese looks like an OBESE word! The students LOVED doing this and asked BEGGED to complete seconds! I caught some of them making new words during indoor recess! Another little activity we completed was about peRIMeter. I saw something on Pinterest about doing the area of names...I thought I'd do the peRIMeter... If any of you are wondering why the heck I am capitalizing RIM in perimeter...It's how we write it in our classroom....to remember that the perimeter is RIM of something....it helps. I first showed an example of my daughter's name on the Elmo/Projector. I was strict about my rules/expectations. The students were NOT allowed to cut a square in half (I explained and showed them with post-its that it wouldn't measure the same). They had to complete each letter of their first name...find the peRIMeter of each letter...add all the letters up for a TOTAL peRIMeter of their name! At first they WHINED about "I can't make an N"..."I can't get a D to work"... I told them to stop their whining...literally and showed them some hints on the board...here's how they turned out... Christopher needed 2 pieces of grid paper taped together for his extra long name! Kelsie had a difficult time with the K, but it came out great! I told students to get creative! I'd do this again next year! They didn't finish in the time I gave them, but they diligently worked on it between other assignments. They were excited to pull it out and work on it! This week we will be working on coordinate grids...then on to Multiplication! Have a great week!

Word problems are an essential part of grade 3 common core standards. They help students master basic math and problem-solving skills.

When students are learning the rules of capitalization, it's always a good idea to have extra worksheets. This will allow the child to have varied sources which may give them practice sentences that are a little different than what they are used to. This worksheet only has five sentences so as not to overwhelm your child.

Week 6: We made runes. The Celts had a rich tradition of oral storytelling. The history of their land and people was preserved from generation to generation through druids who were expert story tellers. Once the Celts came into contact with other cultures a system of runic writing developed. There were several different runic alphabets used by northern European people. We got the chance to make our own runes using air dry clay, toothpicks and other dough type tools. A sample alphabet was printed so the kids had something to decode.

Hello and welcome. Thank you for visiting my post on second grade teaching materials and ideas.

I am linking up with Deb at Crafting Connections to share this Reading Comprehension Anchor Chart. When I saw this acronym on our County's resource page, I knew I had to make an anchor chart to illustrate it. If you have ever used Larry Bell's UNRAAVEL strategy, then you will recognize this as a simplified version. To prove their answers, students simply write the corresponding paragraph # beside the question where they found text evidence that supports their answer choice. I also have them underline or highlight the text evidence in the paragraph that helped them answer the questions. If you love anchor charts like I love anchor charts, you will want to head on over to Crafting Connections. Deb hosts an Anchor Chart Linky party every Monday. I just saw one on a previous linky about prefixes and suffixes that I need to make for my kiddos!
