I am so excited to start another school year with so many possibilities! I am moving back to first after looping up with an awesome group who is now on to 3rd grade! First grade is an opportunity for sooo much growth. There is such a huge difference from first to second grade and when you loop back down you have to make so many adjustments. </span><br />

It is organized chaos. Every. Single. Year. We have tried different things each year. Grandparents don't pay, Grandparent's pay, every staff hand on deck, different grade levels coming at different times, on and on. But every year it is chaos.<br />

This year our school is displaced. Our K-1 is in an old school that closed a few years ago. Our 2-3 is at a church about 10 blocks away, and our 4-5 is at another church about a mile away. This displacement had us thinking how would we do Grandparent's Breakfast? Everyone starts their day at the K-1 building then load transfer buses and go to their locations for the day. How were we going to house an extra 200 kids in this building for breakfast? So I suggested we do a Grandparent's Literacy Night. We had different stations for the Grandparent's to do with their Grandkids. Here are the stations we had for Grandparent's Literacy Night:</div>

This idea came from a friend of mine. Grandparents and grandkids fill this out together. Grandparents answer the questions for when they were in elementary school.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">You can make a set for each kid in your class, just a few sets to put out for early finishers, or use them as a station. I spend time modeling how to use the sound boxes. Modeling the direction and how to "push" the sounds with a spacer are important so that students get the most out of the activity.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I number each card in each set on the back with a flair pen before I laminate. This helps keep kids from getting them mixed up when they are working together or when a loose card shows up we know which set it goes with. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Finally, I just place the cards in a baggie with an eraser and dry erase marker. My students keep them in their rainbow drawers. This way they can pull them out when they finish something and need some meaningful independent work. Each week as we learn new vowels, I add the new vowel but leave a few of the vowels we have worked on in the past in the baggie.</span><br />

Most second grade teacher introduce them to the whole class towards the end of the year. I always want to make sure my students have a firm grip on the concept of arrays before I mix in multiplication! I have found that kiddos kind of "lock up" when you throw the word <u>multiplication</u> at them. When they naturally start to see it with arrays, they are more comfortable and excited to start venturing into multiplication!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">You can use all kinds of odds and ends from your classroom to create arrays with your students. Here are a few of the things we use to create arrays. No need to run out and buy anything, just create with what you already have jammed in your craft closet!</span></span><br />

I have had a few teachers ask how to store their math stations for the year. Here are a few ideas to help you get organized for the new year!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
These storage tubs are my favorite! Several teacher in my building have gotten them through Donor's Choose. After you have prepped and cut all of your stations, you can place them in these tubs. </div>

The only drawback to this is they will take up some space.<br />

But when it is time to change out stations, just grab the tub you need and put the other one back on the shelf. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-19638606-Aquarium-Latches-6-Pack/dp/B004QJGW6C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1482884075&sr=8-1&keywords=sterilite%2Bcontainers&th=1" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the boxes on Amazon.

I LOVE these envelopes! I use them A LOT :)</div>
<div>
I use packing tape and tape the title page on the outside of the envelope. If I don't do this the kids pull it out with the other items, then we don't know what station it is!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The slime will set up quickly. I made two batches and it was more than enough for all of my students (18) to have about a half full condiment cup (which are 2 oz.). </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I let them play with the slime on sheets of wax paper so they didn't pick up pencil shavings and dirt in their Grinch Goo. When we were done they put their lids on and took it home.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Nothing is worse than dragging yourself in before sunrise to do sub plans when you are sick (or you have a last minute emergency)! So many teachers are guilty of forcing themselves through the day when they should have stayed home, simply because writing up lesson plans seems to be more hassle than just going in for the day. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I created these lesson plan packets to help with those mornings. These have been a life saver! You can get them prepared ahead of time and then just pull them out that morning!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 1: Create a space for your sub plans. This space could be a filing cabinet drawer or a crate.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXT4gmFrBX_Iv42q21GtlfX7ZBQDrESlcpOCVvnsy2Cb51mmFAdrcjtZfJFhDUgDDUU9-UM-hsggyi0lCIhnSj1qGtfi7jf4RRiHLwo-901_FDgJrXq0MP7unVXN4retAPHtedngqC4x0/s1600/subplans3.002.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXT4gmFrBX_Iv42q21GtlfX7ZBQDrESlcpOCVvnsy2Cb51mmFAdrcjtZfJFhDUgDDUU9-UM-hsggyi0lCIhnSj1qGtfi7jf4RRiHLwo-901_FDgJrXq0MP7unVXN4retAPHtedngqC4x0/s640/subplans3.002.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 2: Purchase the books. You can find all of these books at either Scholastic (points!) or on Amazon. I purposely chose popular books or new books that would be easy to find and purchase.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEPJH9VsU2k4SATE5WtmlDn8vEnXXnwVEHvmSr_Kj7VEcOg0sSEEF3czXL9j3d7uy_ACBjLhdY_sjiOjVJ3nw6wVpbnvP3rUzsou-MmWRZ6JzXrEZYT2SD4WohCrlHt8ACLgnYpMUsC-8/s1600/subplans2.002.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEPJH9VsU2k4SATE5WtmlDn8vEnXXnwVEHvmSr_Kj7VEcOg0sSEEF3czXL9j3d7uy_ACBjLhdY_sjiOjVJ3nw6wVpbnvP3rUzsou-MmWRZ6JzXrEZYT2SD4WohCrlHt8ACLgnYpMUsC-8/s640/subplans2.002.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 3: Figure out your schedule for the coming year. For each day, make up a schedule with your lunch, recess, special classes and arrival/dismissal procedures. Divide your instructional time into "chunks" of teaching time. Label each chunk of time as an "Activity #" Here is an example of my really simple sub plans for Wednesday. All of my "other" information that doesn't change (procedures for dismissal, discipline, emergencies) so I keep a copy of that printed and in a binder where it is ready to go.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrgJuraBtrgLcFN8NMQaQoWbuorugJLyBqXHcwawGSTIV7eslZLExbpNzktdc0mSd5isG0nUbJMoPNuoN8PjEoIs1M1ZEE5RX2ue22kD9sSd3bPRup15hBz7oR-qVb_cRl9mYaMaDB-44/s1600/plans.001.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrgJuraBtrgLcFN8NMQaQoWbuorugJLyBqXHcwawGSTIV7eslZLExbpNzktdc0mSd5isG0nUbJMoPNuoN8PjEoIs1M1ZEE5RX2ue22kD9sSd3bPRup15hBz7oR-qVb_cRl9mYaMaDB-44/s640/plans.001.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 4: Copy the materials that you feel best suit your classroom. Label them with the activity number cards included in the packet. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4_mMOugLcIqrr9Oqd3QRHoB_GaMWrh4jYl3OmPxtxj7-OqMFzXj0KcC3sa3Qq85RWj1T6BWAwa6_v0ROig-yZGGdCBsgB3lGVw0NAsur4tsm9YJfWklofWsZpZD9iokg6vY1Z9PpQAwc/s1600/subplans3.005.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4_mMOugLcIqrr9Oqd3QRHoB_GaMWrh4jYl3OmPxtxj7-OqMFzXj0KcC3sa3Qq85RWj1T6BWAwa6_v0ROig-yZGGdCBsgB3lGVw0NAsur4tsm9YJfWklofWsZpZD9iokg6vY1Z9PpQAwc/s640/subplans3.005.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Step 5: Place the materials, your lesson plan, and a copy of the book in the file. When you need it most, this plan will be ready and copied for you! Just pull it out for the sub and you are ready to go!</span><br />

I think most teachers would love to stay in their grade and their comfort zone, but that isn't always the case. My loop was the best case scenario because I got to stay in the same room with the same awesome kiddos (minus and plus a handful). Here are a few tips to pass along with those dealing the same scenario...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Change just enough to make it new. You don't want kiddos to not be excited about school because they are in the same room or with the same teacher. However, one of the BIGGEST benefits of looping is being able to jump into teaching right away. Change your theme, color scheme, labels, seating arrangement.... those fun "side" things about a classroom. Don't change your rotation charts, your schedule, your procedures or your rules IF they worked for you and your students last year. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Did you have a difficult student you are dreading to see again? If you did, greet that kiddo with open arms on that first day. You might be the most stable person they have in their life and chances are they are relieved that they already know you. Make them your unofficial assistant, co-teacher, or buddy. You have the upper hand because now you know their strengths and their interests. Set something up for them to be successful right off the bat.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Don't be afraid to change <i>some </i>things up. I added a nightly reading (20 min) in second grade and got rid of typical homework. You aren't stuck with something because you did it the year before. Be honest about why you are making the change. Most times parents have seen the same issues and will be on board for the change!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. Pay attention to your classroom library. I found that about 3/4 through the year my students weren't reading a lot of non-fiction text. When I questioned them about it they were quick to tell me that they had read most of them (and I have a TON of books)! Get together with other teachers who may be looping up or switching grades to add some new titles to your classroom library.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5. Throw out your old topics (until the next year at least). I had to come up with some new topics or themes to teach this past year. Even though I knew how much I had spent on that dinosaur unit (eeekkk$), I had to put it on the back burner because we had covered that topic through and through. This is also a great way to find new topics to teach and to push yourself to learn new things!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">6. When you loop with the same group of kiddos, you are bound to get some new kids added to your list to even the numbers out. Make sure you pay special attention to these kiddos. I paired these students immediately with some of my more outgoing students. It is easy for these students to get lost when they are added to a group that has already built a bond. Paying them extra attention and emphasizing their importance to the classroom will help them mix right in perfectly! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">7. Don't get too comfortable! I built a great relationship with my students and it was easy to let some things "slide". These kiddos will eventually go on to a different teacher the following year... they can't stay with you forever! Remember to reinforce that behavior and expectations are to make THEM better students, learners and citizens... not to please you as a teacher. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">8. Be ready to let go. This past last day of school was very hard... both on the students and on me. As we prepare for the next school year I am literally dreading seeing "my students" on the first day go on to their new teachers. It's very difficult to hand them over after spending two years with them. However, this past year was probably the most rewarding both academically and personally. Be prepared to be invested in your kiddos for the long haul!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Looping can be an awesome, time-saving, stress relieving experience! You are building a bond that can last a lifetime!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">One of the greatest hits for sight words is Connect Four. In order to win, the student must be able to read the words as they play the game. I use yard sale sticker dots from Wal-Mart. They are easily removable if you want to change the words periodically. </span><br />

They must read the word, then if they read it correctly, they place a marker on the word. These are easy to print out and have on hand!

<span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">My students love highlighters! They especially love when I give them a highlighter and a section of the newspaper.

<span style="font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">I like to say a sight word aloud and have students use flashlights to find the word. Often, I say clues, but not the word. Students have to shine the light on the word. For example: "I am thinking of a word with four letters. It begins with a consonant. The word have two vowels. It begins with the sound /l/." Which ever student shines the light on the mystery word is the winner. I usually have the winner choose who they challenge to go up against next.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Shake it off is a fun and engaging way to read, write and learn sight words. Students write words on Post-It notes. Students stick them to their bodies. I like to play Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" as students shake off their sight words. Students return to their seats and use the </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B166PEv9QyXvaDhQM2RYeW1TLTQ/view?usp=sharing" style="font-size: xx-large;" target="_blank">recording sheet</a><span style="font-size: x-large;"> to record responses.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Exit tickets are a great way to check on student progress in many different areas of learning. I often found that during read aloud time and silent reading time I was "disconnected" from some of my students. During read alouds they may look like they are listening but were spacing out, or when I asked questions while reading they were too timid to give their opinion or answer out loud. During silent reading I often listen to and read with students who are struggling and feel disconnected from students who are on level or above. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I decided to implement reading exit tickets into these times in order to connect with students again about what they are reading. I made sure to emphasize that this isn't a "test" (although I do look at them for info as a teacher about where my students are as readers.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I love to use these during read aloud time... it is a great way to get students thinking about what you are reading and to avoid the "distracting voice" that can sometimes pop up while you are reading. </span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I always let the students know what the exit ticket will be so that they can think about it while I am reading. After I have read aloud, I pass out the exit tickets and give the students just a couple minutes to jot down their ideas or answers. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Occasionally, I will use these during silent reading. I will place a variety of the tickets out in labeled containers so that students can pick an exit ticket that best works for one of the books they read. I love reading these and getting insight on what students are reading and thinking about during their independent reading. </span></div>

It is such a hard skill for students to grasp in first grade, but once they reach second grade it's like something "clicks" and they can pick it up quickly. (So don't stress yourselves out first grade teachers!) Here is our quotation mark anchor chart... we used quotes from our Magic Tree House read aloud that we have been reading.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">During stations, we used play-dough to create quotation marks on our sentence cards. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJW5C8QOgAeOsK3_7_PkjQuH-5eSqURvrMWhY_xgnhyNw4i4U9TNcBj_J1OzdOz2lJd2hKWCFrxkK2a-gy7g9Bhn0HZzhXdbaXUaKkjz-XW7f68DM77MXuxP4tj-vNsv2SlT4uaf8go6o/s1600/quote2.001.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJW5C8QOgAeOsK3_7_PkjQuH-5eSqURvrMWhY_xgnhyNw4i4U9TNcBj_J1OzdOz2lJd2hKWCFrxkK2a-gy7g9Bhn0HZzhXdbaXUaKkjz-XW7f68DM77MXuxP4tj-vNsv2SlT4uaf8go6o/s640/quote2.001.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then we recorded the sentences correctly on the recording sheet. I always include these with my stations so I can check for understanding when I am not able to roam the room while students are working.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Later in the week, students roamed the room to rewrite sentences correctly including the quotation marks. You can also use this activity for scoot or stations.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">We also added quotation marks into sentences, rewrote sentences with quotation marks, and created our own sentences with quotation marks.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I absolutely LOVE IKEA and even though the closest one to me is about 3 hours away, I always make a point to go a couple of times a year. A few years ago, I did a post on items from IKEA that teachers can use in their classrooms. You can check out that post <a href="http://www.primarypossibilities.com/2014/07/teachers-love-ikea.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> (most of those things are still available!). Below are some of my finds from my most recent trip...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">There are tons of alternative seating options at IKEA. Most of the office type chairs are sold in two parts... the seat and then the base. The seat part is a great floor seat.. similar to the rocker chairs people are using. Here are just a couple of the options that I thought looked the most comfortable and affordable...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">IKEA has some awesome cheap rugs. The rugs I bought for less than $5 over 5 years ago are still holding up and look great (even after 180 days of use a year by primary students). I use rugs for silent reading but also for my low table where students sit on the ground. These are a few of the rug options...</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I loved this green dot rug.. look at the price! You can't really tell the size but this would be a great rug in a small area where 3 or 4 kiddos could sit and play a game together. This would be a great addition to any classroom. IKEA has tons of deals like this!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">They also have a TON of chair pads.. the ones with the strings that you tie to the back of the chair. these would also be great for your floor kiddos. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">I picked up these round versions that go on stools... they have rubbery grippers on the back that will prevent them from sliding on hard floors.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I talked my kindergarten colleague into trying this experiment with me. Our classes came together to watch her STAND ON 36 EGGS! Yes, you heard that correctly... And, it actually worked.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">First, my class predicted how many eggs (out of 36) would crack with this anchor chart.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then, I had one student try to squeeze an egg. It did not crack. No matter how hard he squeezed, the egg was so strong.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Then, I asked Miss Cindy (she is wonderful) to help blow the center of the egg out. First, we shook the egg to mix up the yolk. This made it easier to blow out the small hole. We used a pushpin to put a small hole on each end. Then, we used a toothpick to make the hole slightly larger on both ends.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">We put the hollow egg into vinegar. Currently, my class is watching the egg to see what will happen. This is an excellent prediction activity.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">This post was originally posted last spring. I thought it would be perfect for a Throwback Thursday post.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Carrots are so much fun to teach during my plant unit. I love the story <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/carrot-seed-ruth-krauss/1100719387?ean=9780060233501" target="_blank">The Carrot Seed by Ruth Krauss</a>. The pictures are simple. It is always a favorite of my kinders (and me).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The <a href="http://www.scholastic.com/bookfairs/homepage" target="_blank">Scholastic Book Fair</a> was at our school this week. If your school is like mine, the Book Fair makes a lot of profit from the teachers in the building. I think I visited the Book Fair daily. I ended by buying <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/s/creepy-carrots?store=allproducts&keyword=creepy+carrots" target="_blank">Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Of course we had to have a craftivity!! I cut rectangles out of construction paper and directed students how to make cuts until they ended up with this creation!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://www.rainbowswithinreach.com/" target="_blank">Debbie Clement</a> always says that students should not have a cookie cutter design. I think she would enjoy our creations that are in the hallway this week!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I was most impressed with student writing. Students worked hard and were engaged in their writing. We used the beginning, middle, and end retelling sheet to retell the story.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Do you believe that every minute counts? I have found some of the best ways to enhance instruction that anyone can do. All of the resources I will talk about in this post, you already have or can be made with common items found in your classroom. And... Time is not a factor. Do you want in on my little secret? (I am sure most of you already do this anyway.)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Begin your school day by welcoming students at your door. I always greet my students with interesting words to increase their vocabulary and introduce them to new words. For example, if a student is smiling I may say, "You look very delightful today." If a student has on new shoes I may say, "Your new shoes look very comfortable." Not only do students need the initial positive communication, but children are being exposed to interesting vocabulary. You do not need any resources for vocabulary exposure. However, you may start your morning meeting by revisiting some of the words. I like to use large chart paper for my morning message. I often include interesting words in my morning message.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">I have an Enfamil can from several years ago that I use when we travel to and from special classes. I have skills that need to be reviewed. I call my review can "Locked Out". I tell my students that we are "locked out" and can't move on until we answer correctly. Sometimes I do it whole group and other times I do them individually. Currently, there are math facts that my kindergarten students review. I just pull a card and students tell me the answer. Math facts, sight words, and nonsense words are the most frequently reviewed skills that I use. So don't throw away that empty can or basket. Use it to review skills at bathroom breaks, standing in lunch line, and even lining up for dismissal.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Right next to my teacher chair, I have several "go to" books. Students need to be read to.

I read just because!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">The fourth way to enhance instruction in your classroom is to communicate with students and parents. Do you have a classroom newsletter? Do you send home updated word wall sheets, behavior sheets, or family projects. I have sent almost each monthly project this school year. The projects increase parent involvement and are often used as part of our reading block. It is just one more way to enhance academics and increase communication. I purchased the packet called</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">Transitions are one of the easiest was to increase academics in the classroom. At the beginning of the school year, we would walk from the rug to our seats counting by ones. Now, I dismiss students from the rug to their seats by asking:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">for words that rhyme,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">the answer to a math fact,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">what number is one more,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">how many syllables are in a word,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">and what they plan on writing about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">When we line up for dismissal I use rhymes. I say the beginning of the rhyme and students give me a "thumb kiss" with the response. I use <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/FreeDownload/Goodbye-Rhymes" target="_blank">Cara Carroll's Goodbye Rhymes</a>.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Classroom communication has been on my mind lately. I have very supportive parents who take interest in their child's education. I feel that it is important to communicate with parents on a weekly basis. I send home a weekly classroom newsletter to strengthen the relationship between school and home. I also use the newsletter as a positive communication tool to inform parents of upcoming events, important calendar reminders, and to celebrate class successes. One of the best ways to create a school and home bond is to be personal. As teachers, we must have effective communication. In this post, I will focus on how frequently teachers communicate, newsletter requirements, types of newsletters, accountability, and durability.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">As I wrote above, I send home my classroom newsletter weekly. I ONLY send them home on Mondays. I started this years ago because a mentor teacher, Sherri Caballero from <a href="http://secondthoughtswithmrsc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Second Thoughts</a>, managed her take-home folders on Monday. This was over 12 years ago and I still send them home on Mondays. I tell parents on the first day of school the importance of the Monday folder. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Along with the newsletter is graded work from the past week. This is the ONLY day I send home graded work. </span><span style="font-size: x-large;">It looks different than the daily folder. Each student has the same folder. Parents know that Mondays are the most important day to check backpacks and to review the previous week's work.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="p1">
<span class="s1"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I send home folders containing student work from the previous week. Parents look over this work with their child. A signature page is also attached to sign each Monday. The newsletter is included each week to keep families informed of classroom news and updates.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Our school district does not require teachers to send home a weekly or monthly newsletter. However, our teacher evaluation model includes "contribute to school culture, advocate for student success, and engage families in student learning". What better way to engage families in student learning... a classroom newsletter.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A few of my colleagues include a behavior tracking sheet for parents to sign in their folders. There are also teachers in my building that use a homework sheet with their classroom newsletter that is required to be signed daily. Personally, I prefer the Monday folder. However, I do include a signature sheet for parents to sign and return to school. The signature sheet is an accountability measure that I use in the classroom. The top of my signature page reads...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"After reviewing your child’s work collection with your child, please keep completed work at home and return any information that needs to be returned in the “return” section of the folder. I am confident that going through this work with your child each week will allow you to see the tremendous growth your child is making, as well as help in any areas he/she is struggling in. If you have any questions regarding your child’s work, please contact your child’s teacher. Sign and date the form and return to school the next school day."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Are you ready for spring? Are you still shoveling out piles of snow? I know the answer for me... I am definitely ready for spring!! I am ready to watch my 2016 Chicago Cubs, work on my spring landscaping, do some spring cleaning, and get outside with my kids! I am ready to drive with the windows rolled down. I want outdoor recess, homemade lemonade and fresh air. (Do I have you ready for spring yet?) Well, by the end of this post I hope you are ready for spring weather and all that spring brings us, as teachers! What better way to get the spring (or summer) feeling... FLAMINGOS.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This week my kindergarten students are working on nonfiction texts. I use Kim Adsit's Reader's Workshop lessons daily. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Readers-Workshop-Unit-6-Diving-In-by-Kim-Adsit-and-Michele-Scannell-2-441500" target="_blank">Unit 6, Diving In</a>, uses flamingos as part of the nonfiction text unit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I used her lesson, but also supplemented with my own <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Flamingo-Literacy-Graphic-Organizers-2370259" target="_blank">Flamingo Graphic Organizers</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I took several pictures of student work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">These are the books that I used this week to teach about flamingos.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">We have worked very hard on writing and with the <a href="http://www.smekenseducation.com/" target="_blank">Six Traits of Writing</a>.

<span style="font-size: x-large;">These are pictures from the (can, have, are) chart from my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Flamingo-Literacy-Graphic-Organizers-2370259" target="_blank">Flamingo Graphic Organizer</a> pack. There are so many interesting facts about flamingos. I can definitely say kindergarteners know WAY more than I ever did when I went to grade school!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">I know you probably read my anchor chart. I wrote "don't breathe"... I ran out of room to write... Flamingos don't breathe while they are eating!! Maybe if I tried the flamingo approach to eating, I wouldn't have to diet anymore. :)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Well, has all the talk about flamingos have you dreaming of a tropical location or even just a local vacation? Are you ready for spring? summer? or just ready to dive into this unit? If you are, the link for the graphic organizer literacy pack is <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Flamingo-Literacy-Graphic-Organizers-2370259" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
