It feels like time is just FLYING by! We are gearing up to write report cards next week, and life feels like a blur. I can't believe tomorrow is February 1st!!!!! Our school (like most schools, I'm sure) never seems to have any laminate. I always miss it when it's refilled! I've been using my winter sentence starters unlaminated (gasp!) and finally managed to get upstairs to use the last little bit that was left on the roll! There are many ways that you can use these! I put magnets on the back, but keep them on display in a pocket chart when they're aren't in use. Here are a few ways that I use them in my classroom: - Journal prompts - Stick one on the board that your whole class can write about in their journals - Oral conversation prompts - Pull one at a time (or let a student choose one!) and have students turn and talk with an elbow partner to complete the sentence - Verb introductions - It's so neat to hear how many verbs they can use now! After using the sentence building station only as a whole group for a few weeks, I've let my baby go and it's now part of a centre! 3-4 students stand at the whiteboard and take turns adding the next bit to the sentence. I make sure that I'm there too when there are students at that centre who need a bit more support. It's been helpful to work on their sentence structure, as I have a few little monkeys who are mixing up their orders. The cards in the photograph are from my Winter Mini Book and Centres file. We are also finishing up week 4 of our second round of sight words. I've mixed up some of the activities from vol.1 to vol. 2, but I have all the same activities in the file for all 7 weeks. You can pick and choose what you use - some make great centres too, to save on paper. I've copied some of them 4 to a page, and my kids are still able to read and write on them when they're this small. They love to trade word searches with a partner and see who can find all the words first!
This is a fun, interactive PowerPoint activity for reinforcing correct usage of past tense irregular verbs. If your students are readers, it can be used as a small group or individual mini lesson/activity. It could also be used for whole class instruction. Contains a mini lesson about irregular v...

Hello There!
Today we tried some fall writing sheets! First we talked about what each of the 5 words meant, and then talked about what we could draw to show that we understand the word (for e.g., an arrow for a verb). Then I modelled drawing a quick sketch to get my ideas down. I like them to draw something first to help them when they start writing - but don't want them to spend all of their time drawing. We talked about how they could go back AFTER they were done writing to colour and add more details to their work. As a class, we decided on the sentences to use for this example on the chart paper: (We have talked a lot about "bumping up" our work - there are more sentences here than I would expect from them independently because they wanted to help me to bump up my own work!) Then they tried on their own! I left the chart paper up for them to use for ideas and words if they wanted to use it. Other students wanted to try coming up with their own sentences. Here is some of the work my students did today:

ALuv and I just finished a 2-week unit in our science last week on animals in the winter. We had fun and both learned quite a bit! I wanted to share a few resources and ideas of how we integrated literacy into our study. We focused on the three ways that animals survive in the winter time: hibernation, migration, ...

How many of your students struggle with equal equations? How many of your students are still not sure about that equal sign? It doesn't matter where that equal sign is in the equation. Students need to realize the definition of what it means that the equation needs to be equal. When we see, 3+2=5 we must also see it as 5=3+2. I have created 3 different packs to help struggling students; Single Digit Equal Equations, 2-Digit Missing Numbers using Addition and Subtraction, and Equal Equations using Multiplication and Division. Each pack includes a worksheet and 30 task cards. I am offering the worksheet from each pack right here for FREE! There are 3 different Worksheets to choose from. Choose the worksheet that fits the needs of your classroom. Equal Equations can be really hard for some students. These task cards and worksheets will help students practice equations with regard to the equal sign. Your math centers will come alive with these winter theme snowmen task cards.

Digestive regularity is a critical part of your body's detoxification process. If you are not going daily, then your waste will sit there + be partially resorbed (rather than excreted). Constipation + loose stools can be thought of like 2 sides to the same coin: both indicate an imbalance in the gut

The Circle Game asks students to come up with as many different things as they can from one circle. I thought this activity was really fun! However, my elementary students were not that interested. Most of my kids' papers were dull circles with a scribble on them. I think older kids might "get it" better. I have included the handout from Ande Cook's Art Starters as well as my lesson plan with all the directions for a sub. The Ande Cook handouts were part of a SchoolArts subscription, or you can get her book: Art Starters

I recently posted a file that I have been using this past month to help with assessing my students. It includes a variety of different activities for reading, writing, listening, and oral production. Here are some of the included activities: Below is a template for your listening test. Choose 12 winter words that you want to test your students on. To help see what each student knows, you can have them spread around the room. I read one word at a time, giving them time to think and draw. I find this helpful to know which of my students need more practice on the vocabulary. Below is the sheet I use to see what words my students can produce. This is more challenging for them than hearing and drawing the word. I point to each square and they tell me the word. Depending on where your students are, you could also have them use the vocabulary in a sentence as well. This is some writing practice - students can read the sentence and fill in the blanks with a word that makes sense. They can practice reading and writing for this one! To complete this activity, students need to read and then draw a picture to match what they read. I find it to be a helpful check-in for reading comprehension. I hope that you find some of these helpful! What are you using in your classroom to assess all the different French strands?
Starting out lessons with a quick video is a great way to get students hooked on the day's lesson. Here are a few short videos to go along with singing games on musical opposite concepts high/low, fast/slow, and loud/soft. High/Low Videos: Games: Andy Pandy Students march to steady beat and then freeze on high to reach as high as they can and low to touch their toes. Add another level by having students march in a circle. Sigh High, Sing Low Students stand in a circle and pass a dog (or other stuffed animal) to the student they call. In order to show who has had a turn, have students keep one hand on their head until the stuffed animal is passed to them. Fast/Slow Videos: Games: Rig-A-Jig-Jig This song is sung slowly until the fermata. After the fermata, the song picks up in tempo. I like to drag the first part out to really show contrast to the second part. To play the game, students sit in a circle. One student is chosen to walk slowly around the circle while students sing. When the class reaches the fermata, the student taps the shoulder of whoever is in front of them. The chosen student then chases the student around the circle and attempts to tag him/her before the song ends. I do not have much room for chasing in my small music room so instead of having students running/chasing, I had both students gallop around the circle without trying to tag each other. They enjoyed it just as much without the competitive part. Loud/Soft Games: Grizzly Bear Students sit in a circle while one student(the sleeping grizzly bear) sits outside of the circle facing away from the rest of the group. One student in the circle is chosen to "wake" the grizzly bear by tapping the grizzly bear on the shoulder during the last two lines of the song (please be very quiet....). When students sing the word mad, the grizzly bear turns around and has three guesses to find who tapped them on the shoulder. This post is a part of Fermata Fridays!
