A little about me. I'm a second year teacher in the great state of Kansas. A former K-5 special education teacher, I will now be a 4th grade ELA teacher continuing to co-teach. When following this blog you will find ideas for reading and writing in the upper grades, iPad integration, and a few primary posts every now and then too! Products I create are items I use in my classroom. I love to utilize centers so you'll find several games and centers in my store, as well as lesson ideas and now classroom decor:
Speaking of classroom decor, here is the item that I've donated:
I've been bitten by the chevron bug and have created schedule cards to post up in my room, and now to share with you too! There are 76 different classes and 4 blank cards in the pack.

One of my favorite back to school reads is Chrysanthemum!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through the scavenger hunt! My favorite first day book is First Day Jitters!
ReplyDeleteI also found you through the scavenger hunt... I love to play the human knot with my students at the beginning of the year. Such a cooperative activity :)
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite back to school reads is Thank You, Mr. Falker.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on reaching your 300 Follower milestone! I've been out of the loop for a couple of days, spending time with family and long-lost high school friends that I just saw your achievement! AWESOME! I gave you a little shout-out on my Saturday blog post.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite back-to-school read is "Apple Island or the Truth About Teachers." I use this with my fifth grade Language Arts class. Besides being funny, this book contains great examples of figurative language (alliteration, similes, metaphors, personification) and it is terrific to use to teach plot development (rising action, climax, falling action). We refer back to it all year.
Enjoy the rest of your celebration!

ReplyDeleteI like to read Chrysanthemum with my new students.

Happy to find your blog on the scavenger hunt! My fav book to read used to be How to Be Cool in Third Grade, when I taught third grade. I teach fifth grade now, and we departmentalize, so I haven't been able to read any good books at the beginning of the last two years. Hopefully I'll be able to with some of the examples people are giving:)

Congratulations on 300 followers. One of my favorite back-to-school read alouds is First Day Jitters, I just love that the whole time you're reading you think it's about a student only to find out it's not.

One of my favorite stories to read at the beginning of the school year is "Beware of Boys". It is a book about a little boy who outsmarts a wolf who wants to eat him. As a class, we talk about how smart the boy is and turn that into a discussion of just how clever each student in the class is. When working with special education students, I think it is extremely important to make them realize just how smart they really are.
