I know…I've been missing in action again! I'd love to promise you that I'll be more consistent…but I think I just get so wrapped up in school life that my little blog gets put on the back burner. I've not even had time to blog stalk like I used to…ugh!
I'll try to be a better blogger though…I'll really, really try!
I have been creating a few things for my little old TPT shop in the past few weeks. If you follow me there, you've probably "felt" me blowing the dust off of it recently and opening up the doors again.
Our Student-Led Conferences will be in a few short weeks and I wanted a book study that my children could complete on their own and then share it with their families at conferences. A few years ago I purchased a class set of Jan Brett's The Mitten from Scholastic. They were like $1 a piece at the time…wish I could find that deal again! We'll use this book for a whole class read aloud and then the children will each have their own copy to use to help them complete the book study.
We're in need of a little extra help with contractions, so I created a simple matching activity for the children to use to practice on their own or with a friend or two.
Our school mascot is a pirate and it's our annual Pride Week this week. It's a week that we celebrate the pride we have in our school, district-wide. We've been reading Peter Pan but we're also going to be reading a few more fun pirate stories. One of my favorites is Tough Boris by Mem Fox. I like to use this book to introduce adjectives to my children so I whipped up a little activity for us to complete together.
It's also "testing season" for us and I'm in need of some literacy activities that the children can complete independently while I'm doing one-on-one assessments. There are 6 literacy centers in this packet that will serve as a review and/or extra practice for us!
And since I've been MIA for several months, I'm going to hold a quick flash sale in my shop for today, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! Everything is 20% off for the rest of today!
Here's hoping your 2014 is off to a wonderful start and that hopefully, I can get back into the swing of things again in blogland!
Take care!
