My first lesson I taught in the classroom was a read-aloud. I've been subbing so this wasn't the first lesson I've actually taught, but it was the first lesson that I wrote and taught myself. I have been in a 4th grade classroom so I picked the book Crickwing by Janell Cannon. She is the author of Stellaluna. Crickwing is really cute book where the character changes drastically from the beginning of the book to the end of the book. I first taught this lesson in my college classroom as practice and then taught it in my 4th grade classroom. I decided to make the main goal of my lesson about character traits. The first thing I did was to have the students tell me about their teacher. They came up with some great character traits for her. I listed those on the board and reminded them that they were character traits. I found this super cool Character Map by Colleen at Totally Terrific In Texas. It was PERFECT for this lesson. Thanks Colleen! I was blessed with a wonderful class this semester. I never saw one of them misbehave. I almost thought I was dreaming. They were wonderful while I taught this lesson. My instructor came and watched me teach it so it was a little nerve-wracking with her there. It went great and both teachers gave me great reviews. They both said they could tell I was very comfortable in the classroom. I enjoyed seeing some of the completed Character Maps. One student wrote that Crickwing was diabolical. What in the world?? 4th grade?? Diabolical?? Hello expanded vocabulary! If you are looking for a great read-aloud for 4th grade I would highly suggest Crickwing. I could have done an entire unit on this book. Maybe I will one day!

As usual, I am WAY behind on posting products and keeping up with the "blogging world"....so there are going to be many things included in this post....here's what I have for you: Christmas Freebies The first freebie is a Christmas-themed story map for your kids to use with the holiday books they read! Click to download! The next freebie is for teaching quotation marks. The first page can be used in whole group, where students will use macaroni noodles for inserting the commas and quotation marks. The second page can be used as a short assessment. I got the fabulous idea of using elbow macaroni from Ciera Harris's Cwunch Qwotations activity. (Click to download for free!) Christmas-Themed Persuasive Writing My latest TpT product includes two persuasive writing pieces you can do with your students around Christmastime! One is A Tree For Santa where the students will decorate a tree (printable included) and convince Santa to choose their tree for Christmas. In the other activity, An Excellent Elf, the students have to come up with three convincing reasons why they would make a good elf. (I adapted this to my second grade students and used it in correlation with the cute "Elf Applications" I've seen on TpT.) Click on any image below to download it at my TpT store! Nonfiction Graphic Organizer FREEBIE Also, I created this organizer for my students to complete as they read nonfiction books. You can click on it and download if for free at my TpT store!
