We finished up learning about adjectives by making rainbows and rain clouds. They look amazing in our room and brighten it up! This week we've worked with compound words. After brainstorming a list students made some examples. This activity has been added to word work! In other news, Silas wanted me to take a picture of the tower he created.
Perfect sign to have right outside your door or in your hallway. How to Order: - Add this listing to your cart. *You can also request a proof of your sign, just please note that requesting proofs will add to the processing time, as I’ll need to create your mockup and wait for your approval. Processing & Shipping: - All signs ordered without a proof request will ship out. - Orders are sent via USPS and/or UPS and typically arrive within 2-3 business days after shipping. How to Hang: There is a small overhang from the frame in the back to hang using a command strip, hook, or a nail. Another option is to let it stand on a shelf. ** Each piece of wood is different and absorbs the stain and paint differently. Texture, knots, cracks, and other natural characteristics of the wood may or may not show up in your finished piece. Each piece will have its own unique finished look. All signs that are created in our shop are not identical. Please understand that signs may have letters or parts of the sign that may have needed touch-ups of additional paint after a stencil was used. We do our best to create clean crisp lines, but there are times that paint bleeds under the stencil slightly, when this occurs we make the decision to touch up the spots with a tool to remove the excess paint. Upon peeling off of the stencil, the wood may have bits of tick marks in the wood. These marks are unintentional and therefore, in our opinion add character to a one of a kind sign. They will have imperfections, although we try to get them as close to perfect as we can.

Well, it's Sunday night and that means time to upload my Monday Made it. Do you all have a system to let your students know where your class has disappeared to? I never had a system but boy did I need one. Last year, I had a few students who were constantly tardy. It was a major problem especially on days where we had to leave the room unexpectedly. We would be at pictures, an assembly or testing in the computer lab and my students had no idea where to find us. I also had volunteers who would pop in and not know where we were. Well, I have the perfect solution. Where Are We Sign where are we set posters included- lots of color options In this packet you can select over 30 different cards/icons. There are even two sizes to choose from. I have included many poster choices if you aren't going the pizza pan route. CRAFT #2 I also need to beef up my Writer's Workshop so I made this little clip chart to help me keep track of my student's writing progress. Winners of the Where are We Set from last week Lyndsey Erica Jen I'll be sending over the file. Thanks for commenting.
❤️34 Things You Can Improve With A Sharpie❤️
As a first year teacher, I came into the school year with great ideas for classroom management. However, like all great ideas, mine failed for my current students. Telling one of my 2nd graders to 'Take a Break' was anything but successful. I was desperate after the first few weeks of school and all my ideas were failing. Then, I came across one of the best discoveries since peanut butter (or put in your choice of guilty pleasure)... Class Dojo (Click Above for Link) This is a great management tool that will allow you to track not only misbehavior, but students' positive choices. Below is a informational video: Here are a couple supplementary items I created to help my classroom become more motivated about earning points. Click Here to Get the Classroom Management Pack! I use the above rewards to show appreciation for the kids that work hard. Also, in my classroom, we work as a team, so I wanted to reward team work monthly. To track student points, I use the Dojo Tracker. Every day, I announce who had the most points and how they received the points. This special person gets their name on the Dojo Master Board and gets to sit in a special chair the next day as the Dojo Master. Finally, I created Dojo Dollars. If you rather hand out money than track points, here is a link to a FREEBIE printable money that I created. One Dollar Click Here to get this Classroom Management Pack! Thanks for stopping! Happy Managing!

I’d love to share with you the number one reason you should start journaling today. I’d love to tell you the story of how journaling changed my relationship
My Dream: All of my students have a book in their hands at all times and run to the library for the next great book choice as soon as they finish the previous great book choice. My Reality: A handful of students run for the bookshelf; a handful of students walk to the bookshelf, and a handful of students have to be pointed in the direction of the bookshelf. Since not all students are avid readers, it is nice to have an accountability system in the classroom to track and encourage independent reading. It does not have to be a daily reading log (insert opinion here-- I loathe and detest dislike daily reading logs for upper elementary readers). In the primary grades when students are learning to read, a daily reading log works well, so students can improve fluency and build their sight word banks. In the older grades when students are reading to learn, I am in favor of more independence when it comes to free reading. There are many options that do not involve the teacher (and parents) tracking a daily reading goal, which turns reading into something a student HAS to do not something a student GETS to do. There is a big difference in the mind of a student, and motivation is a huge piece to building readers. 1. Have students Track Completed Books, not daily minutes or pages. When students finish a whole book, they log the book title and pages (and maybe reading level too). This works well for all level of readers. Some students may read one longer book or many shorter books. Teachers can monitor by informally checking with each student once a week to ask about book titles and how far along in the book the student is. When a book is complete, the student records the book on their Student Reading Log; the teacher logs the book too. Everybody has a record. 2. Have a short class book chat each day and assign students specific days to present a book. Students read aloud a short passage from their book that they pre-select and briefly discuss what is good (bad?) about the book, character(s) they like, events that are exciting (sad, funny...). Students must have something new to present each time it is their turn. Depending on how many students go each day, a student would need to present a book chat about every two weeks. That would encourage continuous reading. This 5-minute task also provides practice with oral reading fluency and public speaking. 3. If you use the Accelerated Reader system at your school, assign each student a point goal for each month or grading period (or week). Students can self monitor to reach their point requirement. Easier books have lower point values, so students would need to read more books. If a student chooses a more challenging book, the book might take longer to read but provide more points. Teachers can differentiate reading levels by assigning different point goals to low, middle, and high readers. Set benchmarks throughout the time period (earn X amount of points by this date). 4. Require brief assessments when students complete a book to quickly check for comprehension. Complete a short recommendation form; take an AR test, fill out a Book Buddy Bookmark. Avoid big projects or lengthy writing assignments for independent book choices. Save those projects for the books and stories you read as part of language arts class. First of all, that is too much grading for a teacher. Secondly, when students know they will be required to "think deeply" about a book in assignment form, they read less. It interrupts the pure enjoyment (and free part) of a "free" reading book choice. Other Book Motivator Ideas Allow students to set a personal reading goal. I love Penny Kittle's Book Stacks for middle and high school readers or the idea of a "Tower of Books." Write Read Me Blurbs about a book (or even a hashtag style comment) on strips of paper and insert the paper on the shelf with the book, so other students may read the comments to encourage new book choices. Each time a student completes a book, he/she can write the book title and author on a piece of paper and add it to a jar or container of some kind. The teacher draws book titles from the jar and that is the book that the teacher will read next. A student may not add titles to the teacher jar unless he or she has read the book. Have students keep a Book Journal. At the end of a block of time (one month, one grading period...), review the book titles and make assessments about the styles of books, book author choices, length/difficulty of books, plots, likes, dislikes, and improvements in reading abilities from the previous book journal reflection. Keep the reflection on its own page in the book journal. Please share any of your student independent reading ideas in the comments below and happy reading this school year! Caitlin TheRoomMom
