I don't know about y'all, but I am always trying to brainstorm ways to get my students motivated and excited about increasing their sight word fluency. I have been trying something new this year with my class that I shared over at Blog Hoppin', and I wanted to share with you all here too! My district uses Fry's sight words. Each grade level is given a particular set to assess each student on. Our goal is that each child will … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving Week!
Hi friends! I'm playing a little catch up from last week. In language arts we worked on prepositions for where and when. Oh boy can these be tough for our little ones! After discussing what a preposition is, we played "Pin the feather on the turkey"! The kiddos LOVED this. They each had a turn to pin the feather anywhere they wanted to on the turkey. We used magnetic tape on the back of the feather to make it easily … [Read more...]
Dr. Seuss Week came early!
This year we celebrated Dr. Seuss way earlier than usual. We use the Journey's reading series and this week our story was all about Dr. Seuss, so.... we decided to go ahead and do our celebrating during our story. I didn't get a picture of everything, but I do have a few freebies for you that hopefully you can use during Read Across America or for Seuss' birthday week. We read The Foot Book and worked on antonyms. … [Read more...]
Shapes!
It's time for some catching up! Last week we reviewed shapes and worked on identifying their attributes. We started off with these posters that I made from last year. Afterwards, we listened to the book The Shape of Things on You Tube. We made each shape on our geo boards and played Guess My Shape. This game is nothing fancy. To play, I told my students "I was thinking of a shape that had ___ sides and ___ vertices". They had to … [Read more...]

Catching up with Back to School activities
Since I am not one to cook, much less prepare a meal ahead of time, I wanted to catch up on our back to school activities that we have done the past few weeks. Bare with me as I let the pictures do most of the talking. Here are a few of my favorites to do each year. Last week we read If You Take a Mouse to School and completed this text connection. You can find the mouse templates plus the writing stem here and … [Read more...]
Classroom Tour with Free Decor and Posters
As you may have read in my last post, it was time for some MAJOR change in my classroom decor this year! Here's a little peek into my farmhouse chic inspired classroom. Over the summer I came across the most adorable shiplap inspired wood bulletin board paper at our local teacher store, and knew I had to use throughout my room. This will be our reading board where we display any reading craftivities, anchor charts, etc. Wood paper by Pacon … [Read more...]
David Shannon
Do you use a basal to guide your reading curriculum? My district uses Journeys, and although those stories are great, my kiddos were ready for something different. After wrapping up our Journeys stories we moved right into my very favorite author study! David Shannon! His books are a hit every single year. We started off with a very well known one. A Bad Case of Stripes. After reading, the kiddos had to make a connection to the … [Read more...]
Gettin’ our Measurement On!

It is one of my favorites every year! We started off by discussing what estimating is, as well as nonstandard versus standard forms of … [Read more...]
Math Journal Tidbits….
I've had a few ask about our math journals, so I thought I would do a quick post to show you how we use them and tie them into our math word wall. Our math curriculum coach shared these with us and seriously y'all, I don't know why I never did this before!?! I stalk Target ever summer waiting for their composition notebooks to be on sale. When they are, I snatch up a class set. I am not picky about them all matching, so I usually just grab … [Read more...]

Thursday we showed off our learning by sorting time to the hour and half hour and made these prince and princesses. These are a favorite every year. We also became time keeper king and queens and tracked our schedule … [Read more...]

Today we sorted shapes in to 2 groups. We sorted them together as a class using these shapes, and then the kiddos sorted their pattern blocks at their tables. They had to think of different ways to sort and write it on their t-charts. Afterwards, each table group … [Read more...]
