I saw a circle-style graphic organizer and thought it was a great way to organize practicing WH-questions. Download includes a blank question wheel I tried it as homework for both my 3rd grade and Kindergarten language groups... ...and they loved it! They were each very proud of their work. (It also gave me a good sample of their question writing skills!) So, I've made several more to pull out as homework as I work with WH-questions. Bonus: Progress Monitoring! I look forward to comparing student work over time and seeing if there is a change in question content as well as question grammar/conventions. ...and I've decided to share :) Examples from my Free Download (found at my TpT store HERE) (Word clipart) Enjoy! Let me know how your student like it!

Hi everyone, My little learners have been working SO hard on their reading these past few months and I am VERY excited to show what what they have been up to!
A poster created for our English language arts and social studies departments (humanities) to use in their classroom, as well as in the library.
Would you like to decorate your classroom with fun, hand-drawn anchor charts/posters? Do you simply not have the time to get them done? Well, you have come to the perfect place! I love making these engaging and appealing anchor charts. I also can draw/create any other topic you would like, just contact me directly and ask! My students absolutely love these posters and references them every day. Many of them are visual learners, so the colorful images really help them connect and remember what they have learned. This particular anchor chart is for readers/writers practicing prefixes and suffixes. It helps students see base words and adding prefixes/suffixes to them. The pug puppy helps my students see the separation of the base words with their prefix/suffix and they have so much fun with it! It will be approximately 32 x 24 inches, and will be a copy of my original. **These will be copies unless asked otherwise for a custom poster. They are not laminated, and are printed on normal, anchor chart paper. I ship these out ASAP after being ordered, but please keep in mind once shipped, it is outside of my control. Therefore, if shipping does not meet your expectations, I highly encourage you to please reach out to me first, and we have always been able to work something out to make up for anything that may have occurred after I have sent your package, thanks so much!! Hope you love it :)

Here's a fun way for your students to practice editing for missing punctuation. Students edit sentences for missing periods, question marks, commas, apostrophes, exclamation marks, and quotation marks. Then, they use these sentences in their punctuation pockets craftivity! Choose between the print version and the TpT Digital Easel version. The print version can be made into a creative bulletin board or school hallway display. WORKSHEETS- Students begin this activity by completing two worksheets that contain 32 sentences. Answer keys are included. Students must determine which punctuation is missing from each sentence. Missing punctuation includes: periods question marks exclamation marks commas apostrophes quotation marks CRAFTIVITY- After the worksheets have been completed, students color the pockets and glue them onto a sheet of construction paper. Then, they cut apart the sentence strips from the worksheet and insert each strip into the appropriate pocket. Student-friendly directions are included so that you can place the directions under your document camera, and students can refer to them as they complete the project. TPT DIGITAL EASEL VERSION- This is a paperless version that can be completed on a device. Each slide contains two sentences written on two unique slips of paper. Each sentence is missing one type of punctuation, and students must read the sentence and determine what is missing. Students then drag the slip of paper to the appropriate punctuation pocket. The digital version contains the same 32 sentences that are included in the printable version. It contains 17 slides in all. Check out the PREVIEW! Here's what teachers like you had to say about using this activity with their students: ⭐️ Alisha W. said, "My students really enjoyed this activity! They appreciated the process of making the punctuation pockets instead of just working on a worksheet." ⭐️ Kristi M. said, "My principal walked in right after I used this activity with my students, and she was impressed! I love how simple yet engaging it is." ⭐️ Jama M. said, "Incredibly useful because it covers several curriculum standards with one activity." ⭐️ Nat M. said, "Such great value for money! I've used this craftivity across many different year levels and all students have loved it. Well organised, includes step-by-step directions, answers, photos - LOVE it, thankyou!"

You know when you are searching and searching and you just can't find what you are looking for? Well that is w
The Socratic style of discourse lends itself quite well to establishing critical thinkers due to the fact that Socrates believed that enabling students to think for themselves was more important than filling their heads with knowledge. With so much talk about the Common Core standards and truly increasing our student's argumentative powers and critical thinking skills, I decided to launch a Socratic Seminar style of instruction in my sixth grade classroom this week. Our Seminar The Text My approach began by engaging in a guided reading of a novel titled I Can't Believe I Have To Do This by Jan Alford. Throughout the course of the week we read the novel and discussed story events and critical vocabulary associated with the readings. The Questions Students were given a Socratic Seminar "Prep Sheet" at the beginning of the week. The sheet asked the students to do the following: #1. Summarize the assigned reading #2. Identify 3 compelling quotes or statements from the reading #3. Develop one Knowledge based question #4. Develop one Application style question #5. Develop one Synthesis style question Download at: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Socratic-Seminar-Packet The Set Up I then arranged my room in a double horseshoe configuration and assigned five students to be the inner circle. The inner circle students were slated to be the ones discussing and interacting. The outer circle of students were slated to observe and reflect and provide a 'backchannel'. The Discourse Relinquishing control was the MOST DIFFICULT thing!! Once the seminar began I truly had to force myself not to jump in and facilitate. Initially, it was truly awkward. Students nervously giggled and looked down at their papers. No one seemed willing to emerge as a leader. Once they realized that no one was coming to their rescue, the dialogue began and WOW. DID YOU KNOW?? A website called blockposters.com can take any .jpg or .gif image and turn it into a larger printable poster with overlapping edges for assembly?? Backchannel To occupy my outer circle, I distributed 5 ipads (1 for every 3 students) and allowed them to connect on todaysmeet.com. There they posted thoughts, questions, comments and even prompts to assist the inner circle. This back channel scrolled on the Smartboard throughout the seminar. (Admittedly, I didn't love the lack of grammar conventions demonstrated in the statements below.) Reflection/Assessment Without a doubt, we will do this again. Once the awkwardness ended, the dialog went FAR beyond what I've ever experienced with this novel. Students shared events that related DEEPLY to the characters, the character's choices and experiences. They also extrapolated character traits and applied them to new situations. As an assessment tool, each student completed an Exit Slip paragraph where they exercised their argumentative writing skills by completing a one paragraph reflection on the grade they deserved as a result of their participation in the seminar. Socratic discourse....making the kiddos use THEIR Smarticles!! All of my materials are available at: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Socratic-Seminar-Packet
