Punctuation Detectives {Freebie}

November 8, 2014 by ·

Punctuation is such a hard concept for students to understand. It’s not the easiest concept to teach either. I really love Michelle Oakes unit of Punctuation People. The kids are able to connect the punctuation marks to characters and that seems to make it meaningful. We finished the week off by being “Punctuation Detectives”. I […]

Dictionary Drive {Giveaway}

November 6, 2014 by ·

I did a post about my literacy stations and how I run them a few days ago. One aspect of my literacy stations that I really like is the fact that I have some staple stations that I don’t have to explain every. single. time. One of those stations is Dictionary Drive. Students just know […]

November 2, 2014 by ·

Peek at My Week {Halloween}

October 27, 2014 by ·

Is it just me or is this week better than Christmas!?!? I’m not a huge Halloween buff or anything, but for some reason…I just really love this week at school. The bookshelf in itself is exciting. It might be the books that I love the most about this week. The Little Old Lady, Stellaluna, Creepy […]
