Shake it Off!

November 11, 2014 by ·

One of the ways I like to bringing learning to life in my room is through music…especially through music that kids {and maybe their teacher} really love. One such individual is T-Swift. I tried to explain how I do this with my kids, but I feel like it’s better if I show you. I asked […]

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.

Leaves {Freebie}

October 15, 2014 by ·

It’s a short week but we are trying to learn as much about leaves and trees as we can! If you are like me, then you try to marry your science and social studies with your literacy time. Or maybe that’s just me and you all are a bunch of time efficient ninjas. A book […]

Vowel Surgery

October 3, 2014 by ·
