We have been so busy learning all about our rules, procedures and enjoying lots of group activities. One activity we have loved this week is Let's Bowl.

Teaching non-fiction text and graphic features
I think we would all agree that teaching non-fiction text features in the younger grades can be quite the struggle! It just doesn't hold their attention. #canigetanamen Last year, I did a few activities with my students that helped make this comprehension skill fun and engaging for them. Throughout the summer I have been adding to those previous activities and put them all in my newest Tying Up Comprehension pack. Let's take a … [Read more...]
CHEAP Camping Theme idea!
This year, our school is doing a camping theme. Our grade levels are divided into pods so each pod creates a different theme to go along with the overall school theme. The first grade theme is, Navigating Through First Grade. Each teacher is decorating the outside of their door as a different "place" that you might navigate through when camping. Mine is Hudgeons National Forest. I wanted to keep things simple around my door … [Read more...]

Since then, I've had some ask if I could make more banners like it with holidays, subjects, etc. I would definitely make more if I had time, but goodness, y'all know how it is...there is never enough time in the day! SO, I made an editable one for you all that you can download straight to your computer and add any words, … [Read more...]
Tying Up Comprehension (Main Idea)
Helloooo sweet summertime! I don't know about y'all, but I have been soaking up this whole stay up late and sleeping in thing! Both of my kiddos have been awesome sleepers since day one. They could sleep all day if I'd let them. Anywho, I have been spending my late nights marking some things off my to-do list. One thing I have been wanting to get done is comprehension packs for my team and I to use next year. We hit the ground … [Read more...]
