Take Home Folders/Homework Folders... Let's talk about how to set up, label, organize, and manage Take Home Folders. Getting my folders set up is always a huge priority during summer break. I NEVER wait for students to bring their supplies to school on Meet the Teacher night because I want to have my folders set up and ready to go for the first week of school. I also want all students to have THE SAME FOLDER. I always choose green for my Take Home Folders because green means go. These are the only folders that go home. All the other folders stay at school. If you start shopping the Back to School sales in July, you can get a class set of folders for a couple bucks. In fact, do yourself a favor, and buy about 10-15 extra folders because undoubtedly you will get a few new students during the year or some folders will be lost or damaged. Some years I've bought the cheap folders (without the prongs) and laminated them. I used an X-Acto knife to slice open the pocket openings. This worked fine, but I would usually replace the entire class set around Christmas. Other years, I've found awesome deals on the poly/plastic/vinyl thick, sturdy folders. Those really hold up a lot better in my opinion. Maybe your principal will even splurge and buy a class set of nice folders for you?!?! ::Fingers crossed:: Once you've found a class set of awesome folders, it's time to get them labeled. I put the kiddos name (and number) on the front of the folder. If you don't have your class list yet, just skip this step. On the inside of the folder, I put two sticker labels. The left side says “Keep at Home” and the right pocket says “Return to School.” Print these on 2x4 inch standard shipping labels. On the back of the folder, I have a label with my name and room number on it incase another teacher or student finds it in the hallway or on the bus. I also put my e-mail or phone number. This part is totally optional, but I figure it doesn’t hurt to have it on there. As I mentioned before, some years I've bought the folders with the prongs so I could use a sheet protector to hold the students' reading log and behavior chart. Other years, I didn't buy the pronged folders and just slid these papers inside. :) Insert behavior chart and reading log inside the sheet protector so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Here is an example of the reading log and behavior log to communicate with parents. Even if you don't use a color chart in your classroom, this behavior log could still work for you. Simply jot down a quick note about the child's day: "Great effort today!" "Don't forget to raise your hand before talking out." "Had some trouble in the cafeteria but otherwise AWESOME day." "Thanks for being a leader today!" Realistically, a teacher doesn't have time to write a personalized note to 25 students every day. That's when STICKERS come to the rescue. I can pass out a sticker to every student who earned one in less than 60 seconds. I don't want anything super time consuming, but I do like a way to keep in touch with parents. I think it also holds kiddos accountable for their day. #oldschool With that being said, if there has been a bigger issue at school, I would definitely call or e-mail the parents to touch base.

Please also check out my Take Home Folder VIDEO to get more ideas and details on setting up, organizing, and managing folders in the primary classroom. Download the labels and forms in my TpT store.

Back to school season is upon us. I know several of you have been back for nearly a month now while some of you are just returning or returning in the next few weeks. I like to start my Kindergarten year learning about colors! While most of your kids won't come into the year reading and writing, I would bet they know a few colors! I like to introduce them to reading and writing through colors. Of course there are tons of fun songs about colors. One of my personal favorites comes from none other than Harry Kindergarten! I like to introduce a color every week (red, yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple). Lots of the activities I use come from my Color Crazy pack! Click the picture below to check it out! For each color there is an interactive reader! Students trace the color word and color the pictures. There's also a poem for each color! Each poem names a few objects that represent the color and has a question that leads to conversation around the color. We liked to read the poem, then create an anchor chart to answer the question. Then we used the poem all week long during stations! Remember those crucial kinder skills I was talking about? My kids loved completing these printables because they could feel successful early in the year with kinder skills like spelling, reading, writing, cutting, gluing, and coloring! And of course, no color unit would be complete without an opportunity to get a little messy! My kids LOVED painting the color words! We did q-tip painting to work on fine motor skills and staying in the lines. You could also use this as a pladough mat, or use glue and glitter, or bingo daubers! As long is it's colorful and messy, I'm sure your kids will enjoy! Grab this one for free by clicking the image. Hope you and your kiddos have a COLORFUL year! :)

Taking time off from running due to injury, recovery, or just life is inevitable. Here's how to make a running comeback quickly and get back to running.
Are you back to school yet? The schools in my area returned last week. As you get settled into your routine and start shifting into the academics, prepare for the painful reminder that most of your kids have no idea how to read -- like no clue at all where to even begin! Remember those kids you waved off in May or June -- those BIG kid READERS AND WRITERS? Well, you gotta start somewhere. So today I'm going to share a couple ideas for going back to the basics with Print Concepts! When your sweet little kinders happily prance into the classroom on Day 1, half of them won't know how to handle a book, let alone read one. It is my suggestion that, after some assessment to see where they are in the process, you do majority of your Print Concepts teaching and learning in small groups so you can truly focus in on individuals and you're teaching what THEY need to know -- not more, not less. I like to use posters and lots of modeling to teach the concepts. Posters are a great way to introduce an idea because of the visual component. Then, they are always accessible and visible for kids to refer back to as needed. Concepts of Print is a pretty big undertaking -- so I like to break it down into three main focuses *Parts of a Book/Book Handling *Reading Behaviors (Tracking Print, Return Sweep, Pictures Vs. Print) and *Conventions of Text (Capital letters, Punctuation, Word/Sentence Study) Teaching the Parts of a book obviously requires a lot of modeling and a lot of repetition. I suggest getting their hands on real books as well as taking this time to introduce small paper books, like the ones you might have them reading each day in Guided Reading. Confession: I LOVE take-home emergent readers. LOVE LOVE PUFFY HEART LOVE. I don't have a picture of what I actually use, so you will have to settle for the digital version. I use a pre-labeled teacher modeling book and an emergent reader as well as some cute little prompt cards. The card might say "Show me the front cover of your book" and students would point to the front cover. The next prompt card might say "Highlight the page numbers in your book" and they can DO THAT in these little paper readers -- because they are THEIRS! Then they can take them HOME and tell their grandma all about it! ;) When teaching Reading Behaviors you really learn where your kiddos are as readers. Some of them will know where to start reading, and some of them won't even know that we read words! Here are a few activities I love for teaching students to track print one-to-one and to practice that good old return sweep. I also like to give students a variety of maniuplatives to use when tracking print. Fingers are great (hey, they always have them!) but sometimes you have to up the ante to up the engagement and motivation! Love these little Magic Wands (10 for $3 at Target in the Party Favors Section!) When it comes to teaching Conventions of Print, I really like to hone in on the difference between letters, words, and sentences. Students need to know that letters are the building blocks of words and that words are the building blocks of sentences! We do a lot of highlighting, underlining, and counting in our Emergent Readers (again, they're paper, and they belong to the kids so they are free to mark them up!) One tool I LOVE to use to teach Reading Behaviors AND Conventions of Print is the Morning Message. Reasons: 1. You can model Concepts of Print while you read it aloud. 2. You can manipulate it as you go. 3. Students can share the pen to show their understanding. We mark ours all up! I start out by reading the message aloud, using a pointer or my finger to point to each word as I read it. I read it aloud by myself once, I invite the kids to read it with me (still tracking print) the second time, then we dive into it! We circle capital letters in one color and punctuation end marks in another. We use a dot under each word to count them. We underline each sentence to count them. We pull out a focus word and count the letters and recognize the first and last letters. It's the PERFECT tool for pulling everything together! I like to do Morning Message whole group as it is something that we can truly complete TOGETHER. And of course, after teaching a lesson, modeling the skill, and working together with the kids on it, I like to release them to work on it independently. Sometimes this just means sending them off to "read" in their book baskets, sometimes it means completing a printable and sometimes it means working on the same activities we did together during their station time. I absolutely LOVE teaching Kindergarten students to read. If you're like me, then your favorite part of Kindergarten is looking at those sweet babes at the end of the year knowing EXACTLY where they started. They make such a huge transformation over the course of the year. They leave as readers and they start RIGHT HERE! All the activities and printables you saw in this post are available in my TPT store. Just click them image below to check it out! Happy Reading!
