Pg. 5- Language Strategies- useful tips
Pgs 6-7- Speech & Language Skills during play

To celebrate 500 followers (seriously, you guys rock!!) Here is a fun freebie to spruce up your writing centers!! It includes 30 writing prompt/classroom book covers. Here’s how I use them (feel free to use anyway you’d like). Print them out (and laminate for durability). Then I run the writing paper back to back, this offers pages with a front and back. Then each student in the class makes a page responding to the prompt. After they are done, I bind each student’s page using the prompt as the cover. Now you have a classroom book! I put them in our classroom library, and do a drawing for them at the end of the year. I hope you enjoy!!

I often have students who rely too heavily on the thesaurus as they craft their essays, resulting in overwrought sentences that block, rather than illuminate, the writer’s meaning. Using a little humor, this handout helps students see what happens when one abuses the thesaurus. This handout, which can be completed as a solo or team activity/race/game, requires students to match up a series of well-known proverbs and sayings with their overwritten versions.
Once students have completed the handout, it’s best to review the answers together, as I’ve found that some of my students have not heard of all of these common proverbs/sayings. Non-native English speakers will definitely need special assistance, as the vocabulary is intentionally convoluted and these students probably are not familiar with many of the original sayings. The worksheet provides a valuable exercise to help everyone understand these proverbs and the effect appropriate word choice has on tone and meaning.
When I have extra time, I also assign the students to rewrite the original proverbs/sayings into new language to give them practice on taking a cliched idea and making it fresh.
To add an extra little bit of fun to this lesson, be sure to check out this charming clip from the T.V. show Friends:

Ambrose Bierce’s popular work, “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,” is a common and engaging text used in secondary English classes. Written just ten years before the turn of the century, Bierce’s story addresses themes of time and reality in interesting ways. Indeed, his film has remained popular since its release because of how he tackles these themes–specifically in his twist ending. As far back as 1964, French film director Robert Enrico created an Academy Award winning short film based off this story (which, by the way, is also very popular among students).
This product includes:
1) The full text of Bierce’s short story in a reader friendly, printable edition
Looking for a simple fun activity to calm students after Valentine’s Day fun? I love to have students work on word searches. It calms them down after party excitement, gives me a few minutes to clean up for the next activity, and with how many times a child spells out a word in their head while trying to locate it in the puzzle has got to help their spelling ability right?
Students will answer the prompt “If I had to relive one day over and over I would choose…”. A groundhog is at the top of the writing paper for students to color when finished with writing.

Often when you ask children how they show their love to others, they respond with a hug or a kiss. This free resource includes a poem which makes the point that showing your love to others is taking your eye off yourself and putting it on someone you care about. It allows for a great discussion. Children learn that there are many ways to show people that you love them. The poem in this packet describes some everyday ways to do this. It gives students the opportunity to think about, draw or write about ways that they can show their love to others.

Celebrate Groundhog Day while building word skills with this “Making Words” challenge. By manipulating the included letter tiles, students make as many words as they can out of the word, “shadow.” Great for partner work or for use in a literacy center.
I LOVE using literature circles in my classroom. The only trouble I had with them was making sure every group was working and on task. I created this Lit Journal to help me keep my students accountable for their time. Now I can pull a small group and not worry about whether or not the other groups are on task. When the time for literature circles is up, I have them bring me their journals and I glance at them immediately so there is instant feedback. They each have their own 3 ring binder to keep their sheets in. This way, they can flip through and look at all the books they�ve read. The cover sheet can slide in the front of each binder so the kids can easily pick theirs out. The �AR� blank is for them to write how they did on the Accelerated Reader test. I hope you enjoy these and find them very useful!
Here’s a quick way to focus the class before a session of independent reading or writing workshop. The Reading Record-Status of the Class sheet helps you track student independent reading accountability or independent writing workshop time.
Use the Status Check twice a week as a motivator and a reminder that reading is expected and it matters and that independent writing time is for making progress. Record books a student has completed, and focus in on those struggling readers who may need some modification. The Status of the Class Sheet is perfect for the homeschooler or any grade level requiring independent reading or independent writing workshop time.
