This product contains 180 exit ticket questions for the English classroom. At the end of each of my classes I like to have a closing question that is not necessarily related to the day’s topic. These should take about 5 minutes and can be used in a variety of ways. Sometimes I like to ask students questions about previous topics to see how much they are retaining. Sometimes I like to ask them about future topics to see what I can skip over. Other times I also like to give my students real world examples of how they will encounter English. You could also just print these in handouts mode and have students work on the questions as an assignment!

Elementary teachers need this quick classroom management strategy that increases attention rate during insurrections. Revamp classroom management.
It's that time of year! Back to school time (even though I know some of my bloggy friends have been back for a couple of weeks now.) While you may be in a district that wants you to hit the academics hard core from the first day of school and cut out "fluff", there's nothing fluffy about a cohesive classroom. And you can forget good things happening academically when nobody can get along. Do you hear me administrators? I think it's a wise idea to spend some time helping your students learn to live together in a room that gives everybody about one square foot of personal space. So here's a little collection of some fabuloso ideas I found through the wonderful world of blogging. Here are some great ideas to get your new friends talking to each other, working together, and thinking about what a successful classroom looks like. 1. Talk about how to treat each other. Tales from a Tidy Teacher shares a lesson using Finding the Green Stone by Alice Walker. She gives each student a shiny green "stone". They plan how they will keep their stones shiny all year. I think this would be a great anchor lesson to refer to all year long. Here's a post from Mrs. Robinson's Classroom Blog. She has a different question each day to get kids thinking about their role in the classroom. Your actions are who you are. When things were getting cranky in my classroom last year, we worked on this activity. We planned out the words that we would want our principal to use when describing us. Then we planned out the actions that would get us there. 2. Talk about words and what they can do (for good and evil). I love love love this poster. It is from Sweet Blessings who also happens to be the genius behind Technology Rocks. Seriously. I had it printed as an 11x17 on glossy card stock ($1.50 at Office Max). I referred to it all year long the last couple of years. By the second month of school, all I had to do was say, "THINK before you speak" and they knew exactly what had gone wrong. Yes, Mrs. O Knows will convince you that toothpaste and toothpicks will teach kids everything they need to know about words. I tried so hard to find the original source for this one. Please leave a comment if you know where it came from. Cause it's awesome. 3. Have kids work together in a fun way. Who wouldn't want to save Fred? This is a great team work lesson from Fabulous Fourth Grade Froggies. This one's from Science Gal. Now tell me that doesn't look fun? And because the best way to learn that the world does not revolve around you, have your kids perform RACKS. Random Acts of Classroom Kindness. Here's an idea from 3rd Grade Thoughts. There are tons more great ideas out there on this, too. Have kids work in teams to plan out some RACKS for each the classroom, other students, and staff, too. And now for a little giggle: Hope you have a great school year!

It seems that I've gotten into the habit of posting about once a month. It's definitely not my intention, but as soon as I blink the month has gone and I have not posted more than once! *Ugh* This needs to change. I have so much going on in my classroom that I want to share. I just need to find the time! For today, I'm linking up with some amazing blogs to share some freebies. The first blog I'm linking up with is Freebielicious. Have you checked out this blog? If you are a K-2 teacher and have not been there just stop reading right now and head on over. It is amazing! My freebie for this link up is my Responding to Nonfiction - Informational Text Graphic Organizer. The other incredible blog I'm linking up with is Farley's Oh Boy Fourth Grade! Check her out, she has so many resources and not just for 4th grade! Here is my December Currently (please excuse the overlapping words): I don't know why the words are overlapping, they aren't in my picture but then they overlap when I upload it. *Technology* Go link up with Farley! Don't forget the rule of 3! Head on over to 2 before your link and comment and then go back to Farley's site and leave a comment at the 1 behind yours :) Here is another freebie for you, for sticking with me! This is a Venn Diagram for Comparing the Key Ideas in two texts. My class compared the Three Little Pigs with The Three Fish and the Big Bad Shark (they LOVE that version!) And, my friends, I leave you with this, because who doesn't need a little "Elf" in their lives:

What do I still need? - manila folders or construction paper - glue - colored pencils / markers / crayons - scissors THAT'S IT :) Still not sure what a lapbook is or how to incorporate one into your classroom?! You can check out my blog post here to read more. Other Suggestions: - Instead of creating a lapbook, include the 9-themed foldables into your Interactive Notebook! - Coloring these pages does take some time. I suggest asking students to color them for homework and/or having them color during free time. Your students can specialize the folder any way they want, which makes it more special and individualized. This is great because no two memory books have to be the same!

I have created this product after seeing my students struggle with basic sentence and paragraph writing. I also noticed that students would use the same words all the time, not be able to modify sentences with synonyms or antonyms, and not be able to add details to their sentences and paragraphs. Even more, students were able to tell me what parts of speech were when asked out of context, but then when they had to identify the parts of speech IN a sentence, I decided right then and there that they needed something that they could work on each week that was in a similar format every week yet reviewing all different types of skills. I have included a variety of skills for students to work on. These skills include: subject and predicate (simple and complete), compound words, contractions, synonyms, antonyms, parts of speech, types of sentences, homophones, prefixes, suffixes, and more. At the end of the week (Thursday), students will use the sentence of the week to write a 5 sentence paragraph. I included this because a lot of times students have a hard time adding detail sentences to their paragraphs or just having one paragraph about the same topic. On Friday students will edit together and rewrite their paragraph with an illustration. This packet can be used in a variety of ways. It could be a daily writing warm up to be used before your writing time. It could be used in conjunction with your grammar or writing center. It could be morning work, early finisher work, or even after lunch work! Often times I would have some type of activity that was a constant for after lunch. This would bring the students in and calm them down from the chaos of lunch. A sentence a day practice would be great for that time too! I strongly feel that doing these simple yet repetitive activities will help students throughout the year. It will not only help them with their writing but it will help them get these types of questions right with ease during state testing. If students can get these grammar type questions correct with ease, they can focus their attention on the more challenging questions, such as reading comprehension and inferring. There are plenty of possibilities with this! *Please note: There is not an answer key included with this due to the variety of answers that could result in most of the tasks required of the students.

25% off 11-6-14 only! Lesson Plan (Kindergarten Music Day 23): This file is an individual lesson from my Kindergarten Music Lesson Plans {Semester 1/ 36 Lessons} in case you want just want to purchase individual lessons instead of the whole semester. This lesson is aligned with the new Core Arts Standards and includes a scripted lesson plan full of ideas for kindergarten music class. It includes opportunities for incorporating listening, movement, folk songs and chants. Concepts this lesson works on: - Prepare steady beat, pitch matching, high/low - Practice loud/soft, fast/slow, four voices - Combinations of loud/soft and fast/slow It is NOT intended to be a "print and teach" lesson plan. Every classroom and music teacher is different. We each have our own students, schedules, time restraints, resources, and experiences that make our music program what it is. This is intended to be a peek into exactly what I am doing with my kindergarten students to give you some new ideas about lesson planning, transitions, classroom management, song materials, and just how I weave my lesson together. It is a model for you as you are planning. Songs in this lesson that are in the public domain are included in this set. When outside resources have been used, I will provide a link to where you can find it if it is something you wish to incorporate in your lesson. Many of these ideas could also be utilized in schools that see pre-k or in schools who do not see students until first grade. Please note: My kindergarten lessons are designed sequentially and each lesson is meant to build upon prior lessons. It is recommended that you purchase the lessons in order so that you can see the full picture. When you purchase a single lesson, you may not understand which songs would be repeats (practice) for the students and which would be brand new. Each lesson has a mix of new material and song material repeated from previous lessons to build a repertoire of folk songs and chants.
