Main Idea and Detail

We have been working on main idea and detail, which can be a very tricky concept to understand! To help my kiddos visualize this a little more, I made a graphic organizer.

Sequence Writing

Get it here at my TPT store! 

I love sequence writing! It's so fun when you can use it in retelling or in expository writing! I also love being able to allow my students to draw pictures to go with their writing. This will help assist your students in what to write in their sequencing! :)

There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves

I absolutely love the "There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed..." Books. I found this cute idea of a sequencing activity from Mrs. Williamson at Welcome to Room 36! I added sticky notes for the kids to draw the pictures on and they loved it! They were all begging to come up. I made the background separate from the sequencing words, so I can use it again with the other stories.

Pout-Pout Fish craft and foldable

We made this cute craft to go along with our first foldable of the year. The kiddos did awesome! They wrote the title, author, characters, and setting in our flapbook. I can't wait to make more of these!

Morning Work

Morning Work

I love always having something to do for my kiddos in the morning. Sometimes I will give them Drops in the Bucket, review work, or work that reviews a skill. On Fridays I like to give them something fun like a coloring sheet. During football season, they always get a Florida Gators football coloring sheet on Fridays! :)

Specials Clip Chart

I used to have a specials wheel for our color rotation but I decided to try something different this year. The kids absolutely love being able to move the clip from one color to the next each morning!

I can finally BREATH

Phew! I cannot believe how busy I have been the past two weeks. My goal of wanting to blog everyday hasn't been reached yet, hopefully now that we are in full swing! I got my kinders on Monday and we have had an AWESOME week so far! It is definitely challenging to teach a combo class but it's so worth it! I love being able to teach two curriculums and make up lessons for a variety of skills and strategies! I am hoping to post often (if I'm lucky, then daily) about the ideas and activities that we do in our classroom! Stay posted :)
