 I always approach the end of the school year with mixed emotions, though I’m ecstatic to be out for summer vacation, I always feel a little sad saying good-bye. Many of my soon to be 7th graders hug me and leave with tears in their eyes, knowing that our little family will no longer be together. All the trials and tribulations, the challenges, the fun times and sad times will always be with us, but it will never be the same.

End of the Year Musings

 

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

Baby Canada GeeseI always approach the end of the school year with mixed emotions, though I’m ecstatic to be out for summer vacation, I always feel a little sad saying good-bye.  Many of my soon to be 7th graders hug me and leave with tears in their eyes, knowing that our little family will no longer be together. All the trials and tribulations, the challenges, the fun times and sad times will be always be with us, but it will never be the same.

Reflecting back to the beginning of the year, I remember how small they were when they first entered my room, some shy and nervous about their first few days, others acting cool trying to impress their peers., especially those they don’t know. The first hurdle over, they’ve opened their lockers. Simple process for some while others end up in tears because they can’t figure out how to do it. By the end of the year, they look back at this and laugh at themselves.

How strict I am the first few weeks, trying very hard not to crack a smile. This is the time to get them into shape. so that we all have a great year. They learn the rules and always test me.  Finally, after awhile, I can let my hair down and be myself. I can crack jokes, they can joke around and we can all laugh together. This is when real learning takes place, and to see their “ah ha,” moments is what teaching is all about.

I love 6th graders, the majority are so willing to learn, that it makes teaching rewarding and enjoyable.. One of my favorite things is our morning discussions. Their backgrounds are quite diverse and I learn something new almost everyday. Many are knowledgeable about a lot of things and they’re eager to share. They can talk about whatever is on their mind, and they feel safe doing so. We are now, officially a family and I’ve become their surrogate parent.Sandhill Crane Flying

As I say good-bye, each of my kids takes a part of me with them.  I feel certain that I’ve given them the support, strength and confidence to move on to seventh grade.   The time has come for them to spread their wings a fly.

When I close the door for the final time, I take comfort in knowing that soon I’ll have another bunch of little chickadees to bring up.

 

Have a wonderful summer

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Printable Books for Beginning Readers Sample–3 Books”

by Teacher Tam

Pre-Kindergarten – 1st Grade

 

Printable Books for Beginning Readers Sample

 

This is a set of 3 sample books from 3 larger, 10-book sets of printable beginning reading books that cover: word families, CVC words, phonics, sight words, blends, digraphs, as well as short and long vowel sounds. The books are phonics-based and get progressively more difficult as your reader builds on skills covered in previous books.

Directions for Book Assembly:
Each book consists of twelve pages of print for the child, but only four pages to copy. In order to make the books, print pages 1 and 2 then print pages 3 and 4 on the back (1 and 3 are back-to-back and 2 and 4 are back-to-back). Cut each page through the middle horizontally. Order the pages, fold, and staple to make the books. A heavier weight of paper works well to print the books on, such as 28 lb. weight. It helps so that the pictures don’t show through the paper. They are also a lot more durable if the covers are laminated.

TpT Language Arts Lesson – Writing For Real Purposes: Fun Summer Lists!

Have you noticed that in the last few weeks of the school year, it gets more challenging to motivate kids to write? Many seem to only have the energy and patience for tasks that have real purpose. And let’s face it, kids are far more motivated to do what we do or what they see others excited about.

 

 

 

The Writing For Real Purposes: Fun Summer Lists storybook provides a model of students discussing how various types of lists are useful to them, and the lists they have made. (If you purchased this pack last year, simply download the update that now includes the storybook!)

Summer is an ideal time for making plans and getting kids involved in making lists. Being mindful of meeting them where they are, it is important to communicate flexibility in terms of the expectations for how the lists are filled in. Because some children may be writing while others are copying or drawing, each printable has a lined and unlined version (except for the Friends contact lists which have ‘mostly girls’ / ‘mostly boys versions’).

Think of the possibilities of summer vacation….

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Plant Fun Using QR Codes”

by QR Queens

Kindergarten – 3rd Grade

 

Plant Fun using QR Codes

 

Updated 7/6/2014

Learning about plants is so much fun when learning with QR Codes! There are so many interesting facts to learn and cute songs about plants!

This is an awesome activity that can be easily adapted to children of various ages and needs. It is also good for differentiation instruction. It’s a great way to incorporate technology into the classroom.
————————————————————————————-
*****This is a great product to try If your school/district blocks or filters certain internet sites.
If these QR codes work, then all of our products should work without any problems. The videos are from YouTube, but we have funneled them through the safeshare site so that students only see the video from the QR code. Safeshare keeps the videos clean from commercials, popups, and won’t allow students to surf the internet. When the QR code is scanned, students then hit play.

————————————————————————————-

Check out our QR Codes (made in safe share) to explore the world of penguins! Just SCANthe QR Codes on the task card using any device with camera capabilities (such as a Smart Phone, iPad, iPod, etc.) and watch your students immediately become actively engaged while exploring and learning interesting facts about plants via songs and stories.

LANGUAGE ARTS – “Phoneme Subtraction”

Grades K-2

by Reading on Strawberry Lane

This fun print and play activity will help students master the skills of phonemic deletion/subtraction and reinforce phonemic awareness, which is the ability to hear the smallest unit of sound. Students will read a word and then subtract a sound thus creating a new word. 

Also, this activity targets initial consonant blends and consonant digraphs such as bl, ch, cr, sm, th, sh, and more. There are two game boards (colored/black and white versions) and 92 task cards designed to engage learners. You may use this game board or any game board you have. Or just use the task cards alone, and the student with the most cards at the end wins.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Wild About Animals Mini Research Pack – Common Core Research Pack”

by Kyp McLaren

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

 

Wild About Animals Mini Research Pack

 

What’s Included in This Packet:

Activities to do with the 2 different farm animals

“I can describe…” Map for each animal
“Have, Can, Are” Maps for each animal
Clipboard Page for each animal

How to use this research packet:

Begin by letting students choose an animal they want to
research. You could let students work in partners or groups, or each have their own animal.

Let students research their animal by reading books, magazines or newspapers (such as Scholastic, Time for Kids, etc.) about their creature. They could also search for information on the internet and/or by asking family members or friends.

After students have researched their creature you could begin with the “I can describe…” page and/or the “Can, Have, Are” map to make a quick list of things about their creature. These two pages will be helpful when the child begins to write their report about their creature. I would print these off and have available for all of your little researchers. (Just as a note, by this time of year my kindergarteners have had many experiences with these 2 types of maps and understand how to fill them in.)

The clipboard research page can be used for younger writers to share the information they gathered about their animal. I have also included a different format of research pages for older students.

My little guys are always very excited to share their research. You could let each student or group present their information to the class.

You might choose to collect all of their research reports and make a class book. If so, you will find a colored book cover for just this purpose included with this packet.

Have fun researching all of the different animals and helping your little people become researchers and scientists!

LANGUAGE ARTS – “Reading Syllable Types Bundle Packet”

by Reading on Strawberry Lane

This bundle contains six units that give specific word examples of each syllable word type. The six syllable types of reading are Closed, V-C-e, Open, r-Controlled, Vowel Digraph & Diphthong, and Final Stable. Each unit provides a plethora of word lists that target each syllable type. Teaching reading by syllable types provides students with a clear-cut understanding of the English language. The basic overall purpose of learning syllable type reading is to give students 6 reading strategies to aid them in chunking longer words into short, readable parts.

FREE LESSON – Differentiated Mother’s Day Card for beginning writers (and BIG TpT site-wide sale on today and tomorrow!)

Free Lesson: Differentiate Mother's Day Card!

Hello my friends!
Is it just me, or did Mother’s Day sneak up on us as quickly as Easter this year?

In times like these, I’m grateful for the stash. (We all have a collection of never-fail, warm-fuzzy lessons and go to printables, don’t we?)

The time-saving factors in this Mother’s Day Card is twofold: 1) Print or photocopy and your students instantly have something to color, and 2) the inserts that allow each child to print (or paste if unable to print) at the level they are comfortable with. By pre-printing the various options, your students have different choices for how they can complete their Mother’s Day message, and most will be able to do something independently.

Disclaimer: Student names do need to be added to individual cards! 

Inside MD card 1

Some students might be capable of printing a message on their own. Others may copy from a strip or trace. Those who are not printing yet can simply glue their message in.


Copying Th4

Perhaps you’re working on 1:1 correspondence and would like to take this opportunity to practice. Cut the words apart and have your students reassemble the sentence in order, with or without a model.

Lesson from a recovering over-achiever:

Over the years I realized that I had to adjust my expectations to my circumstances. Some years we may have a smaller number of students in our class, students that work more independently or more support for our students with special needs. Particularly at this time of the year, and even more with Father’s Day, schedules go awry and every week feels more frantic than the week before.

This activity worked best, especially in more challenging years, when I let the students choose how they wanted to do the inside of the card. It came down to a decision:

Was the goal of the activity to teach and assess a particular goal or skill for any or all of my students, or for my students to simply enjoy creating something special for mom?

If you like to #DifferentiateByPrinting as is done with this card, check out these growing collections: Sight-Word-Stages Leveled Reader Sets and Read and Write and More!

On another note…

Did you see what I added to the title?  I am a mom and a teacher and a MAJOR appreciator of teachers myself. Thank you to all of you for getting in there with your students everyday. TpT has announced that it’s time to appreciate teachers with a big, site-wide sale! Please see the button below for details!

Enjoy the sale, and Happy Spring!

Kindergarten – 2nd Grade

 

Magic E

 

“Magic E” Song FREEBIE: “That Magic E” / Common Core – Aligned

I wrote “That Magic E” to help my students understand how short vowel words can transform into long vowel words. Use this song as a daily commercial in your K-2 classroom. Invite children to read as they sing. Feel free to copy and paste the lyrics below for your students. Note that you may want to add short and long vowel symbols, and make the “magic e’s” bold.

That Magic E

That magic e, that magic e,
It changes so many words, you see:

At, ate,
Mate, mate,
Can, cane,
Plan, plane,

Bit, bite,
Quit, quite,
Fin, fine,
Pin, pine,

Not, note,
Tot, tote,
Hop, hope,
Mop, mope,

That magic e, that magic e,
It changes so many words, you see.

That magic e, changes words you see,

From at to ate, a to a,
From pet to Pete, e to e,
From bit to bite, i to i,
From not to note, o to o,

From cut to cute, u to u,
That magic e,
You know what it can do,
It makes the short vowels sound so long,
And that is the topic of this song.

That magic e, that magic e,
It changes so many words, you see,
