A few photos of some of the things we have been doing during the first week and 2 days of school. 1). After reading First Day Jitters one of the follow up activities was a cooperative group vocab exercise which is pictured below. I love doing partner and group activities with my students as it provides great opportunity for practicing social skills and working with others. we love our clipboards:) Can't head to groups without them I also allow the students to pick a place to go with their…

For my Publishing class, I get my students in the mood for writing by doing a daily journal prompt. So far, I’ve borrowed a lot of these ideas from Pinterest, but my students really enjoy seeing what the question and illustration will be for the day. I try to set aside some time to doodle (which ends up calming me as well) each day to make the writing prompt fun and colorful. Here are some of them so far! It ends up being a great use of my whiteboard and starts the class off with reflection…

Happy Saturday Friends! How is your weekend going so far? Today marks the first day of my fall break and I am so excited to enjoy a week off! I have two days of a digital leadership conference, plenty of TpT things to catch up on, sleeping in, going to the beach, catching up with friends and family and a ton of yard work. Now that I think of it, that doesn't sound like much of a break. I wanted to start of my break by sharing with you something my 5th graders look forward to every day! I…

My 5th grade kiddos asked for 'cool' bookmarks this week. Obliging, I whipped up some personalized bookmarks with reading strategies on the back.

Amazing (free) website for encouraging wonder in your class. We visit this site almost every morning for the "Wonder of the Day"

When my kids came back from spring break this week, they were greeted with shampooed carpets, new collaboration desk clusters, fully stocked common desks, rotated book titles, and one less fish. I forgot to bring back Skittles, our classroom fish, who was still sitting on the entertainment center at home. It was very much a fresh start for everyone after the winter grind that brought long streaks of indoor recess, multiple rounds of state and district testing, and a consistent escalation of…

It's no secret I'm a huge fan of Growth Mindset-thinking, and I try to incorporate it throughout our day whenever I can. If you haven't seen my previous posts about Growth Mindset and goal setting, be sure to check them out below, including a great resource round-up to help get you started. To begin our year, I love to reference this fantastic anchor chart by Stephanie Skelton: {Source} I chose to make this activity a bit more interactive since it was the beginning of the year and I wanted…

No Interrupting Song - I'll be singing this all day.

When we moved to the country a little over a year ago one of the first questions to cross my mind was, Where will we do school? While our last house had been miniature it did have four bedrooms which allowed us to have an entire room devoted to just school stuff, even if we didn't stay in ther...

One of the best reasons to homeschool is the flexibility. We love the option to take off days when we need to, and the ability to make up days on the weekends if need be. This is how homeschooling seamlessly flows into living our lives. Several years ago I read on a homeschool blog about […]
