Word Wall Signs

I had a request for some word wall signs to accompany my K-5 Common Core vocabulary cards and I created them for both math and reading even though the reading cards won't be available until sometime this summer.

Anyway, here is what they look like!

Weekly Reports: Communicating with Parents

Communicating with parents is SUCH an important part of our job.  We spend so much time with their children, it is only natural that we need to have some line of communication open.  For years, I have used this Weekly Report form.  Since the school year is coming to a close (or already has closed for some!) it is the perfect time to think about how you can incorporate Weekly Reports into your routine.  Come on over to Teaching in Room 6 to pick up your copy of this form that I use, and read more in detail about how I use it.

(The picture shows a completed form, in Spanish.  The freebie has both English AND Spanish versions)

Free Following Direction Icons

I put a magnet on the back of these 14 laminated directional icons and use them on my white board so that my students can easily follow directions when they are doing daily skill sheets that make up our table top lessons.

In a week or 2 all of my Y5's can actually read the words!

After several minutes of explaining directions at the board, my students take their seats. 

Later,if they have questions, they simply look at the board and see the icons under the skill sheet and that jogs their memory of what they need to do.

It really saves me a lot of time re-explaining things, students stay on task and feel empowered.

Print off a color copy and use as a story to review with your class or make individual copies for students to read and take home to share with their families.  

These also make terrific anchor charts.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer break so far.  We wrapped up our school year this past Wednesday.  We focused on summer the last week.  My students love to use a word list to help them out with their journal writing.  So head on over to our blog to snatch yourself a Summer Word List.

End the Year with a Fun Project, Like Designing a Comic!

As the year winds down, try having some fun with your students with a creative project, such as designing a comic strip. Virtually every content area can incorporate this project. Ask your students to design a comic based on the unit you just covered and let them go. You'll be surprised at what they come up with!
