This week we focused on the letter Ss. I thought and thought of what I could do that was a little different. So.....after thinking about it a while, the cute book Silly Sally came to mind. On Thursday, I read the story and talked about how she walked to town upside down and backwards. Along the way she met several animals who joined in on the fun. The kids giggled as I read the book, I then explained how we were going to make silly students on Friday that walk upside down. Needless to say, this has to be one of cutest things I have made in a while and the kids loved it. So much fun. It was great to see the smiles of adults and kids as they walked by and saw all the silly students walking on their hands. Take a look. Lisa K-Crew Kids Rock

Are you loving this fabulous blog hop? I know I am! There are so many great ideas I want to try out. I have always read about how important it is to have a "special" spot for anchor charts and keep the same type of anchor charts in the same spot in your room. It helps the brain retrieve information when that information is organized. For example, always hang the math anchor charts in the same spot. My classroom has a lot of bulletin boards, but the ones large enough for anchor charts were either already in use for other things or not easily seen from everywhere in the classroom. What was I to do? I don't like my room to be too "busy" either. This is what I came up with: I hang my anchor charts on my blinds. I just use clothespins that I covered in some cute wash tape. It is so easy to change out the charts as needed this way. On the two windows on the left I keep my math anchor charts. On the two windows on the right I keep my ELA anchor charts. You might be wondering about opening those blinds right? I never open them because the morning sun blinds my students, we can't see the smart board with the open, and it helps keep the cold out during the winter. (My windows are very drafty) I hung the charts high enough that when it finally warms up I can pull the blinds up to open my windows enough to get some fresh air. (We have screens that we have to put in if we open the windows so they are not able to open much.) Do you like this idea? Feel free to pin any picture to pinterest to share this Bright Idea. :) And now you will want to go check out Lidia over at Kinder Alphabet because she has a bright idea about dry erase boards. Just click on the image to check it out. Alternatively, you can search by topic using the link-up below and move along to any blog on the blog hop! An InLinkz Link-up An InLinkz Link-up

Yowsers. So y'all... Can I just take a moment to tell you how BUSY my life has been for the past two weeks??? AYE-YI-YI!!!! Seriously, there has been nary a moment to fix my mascara much less log into Blogger as of late. But, I am very pleased to announce the end of the madness because... let's face it- life without internet-laden free time is HOR.EN.DOUS. And that is why I am back. Backety-back-back-back and oh-so-excited! Well, wanna know what I've been up to while I've been gone? I have been testing the willies out of nineteen of my favorite First Grade friends. DIBELs, sight words, math, you name it, they've done it. And if they haven't done it, they probably should have. Of course having all of this testing to do, I was naturally faced with the age-old teaching dilemma of what to do with the nineteen students I wasn't testing while still managing to maintain a silent classroom for the one student I was testing. Answer? I used Cut and Paste friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These little buddies occupy AND assess. TOTAL. BONUS. I use them to assess my Firsties knowledge of various components of language (syllables, parts of speech, etc.) while I get my testing done. Keeps the kids occupied, gives evidence of learning, and gives me a product to send home for parents to enjoy and admire (refridgerator work, anyone?) These buddies aren't much, but having TOTALLY saved my life in the past two weeks, I just knew I had to share them. (And don't mind my tacky Easter-themed syllable sort. What can I say? Giant chocolate-dispensing rabbits just gets me in the mood to decorate syllable sorts.) Want your own cut and paste friends? Click any picture preview to download.
