What time is it???????!
UNH-UH!!!
Could anyone else tell that there was a full moon this week?
Again, I say Unh-uh.
I was so busy with learning stations, teaching skills, and being evaluated this week that I barely had a moment to sit...
Not to mention the redirecting and correcting going on!
Plus, Saturday STAAR Blitz, re: Saturday School...
WHEW, and it's already Sunday night!
I will load pictures later, but just to re-cap our stations this week:
1: Tutor read Amelia Bedelia and discussed non-literal language, then they did an idiom sort together from TPT. LOVE THIS GAME! Thank you Robin Richie.
2: A station I created to cover 3 skills in one (re: not so independent) but it did it's job. The students pick a card with a name and abbreviation on it (ex: dr smith) and they pick a card with a job clue that has to use suffix -er (ex: a person who teaches is a ?) The students had to rewrite the name correctly and write the job. Then create a sentence with both (ex: Dr. Smith loves to teach lessons because he is a great teacher.) I will try to add a cover page and thank you page and make it available on TPT.
3: I read Snowflake Bentley (only most of the pages!) and the students and I discussed what the main idea was and which details from the story supported the main idea. They wrote the main idea on a snowman die-cut and three details onto snowflakes. Then they created a picture using the cut-outs.
4: PLATES! Wha? Yes PLATES. I bought some snowflake plates from Walmart (re: Christmas clearance holla!) and put some sticky pockets on them (like postal label holders) then I placed some question cards in them from EDUPress (in love with these, they cover like every skill!) and students read and wrote the room with their journals. These covered just w-type questions (thin questions) but were a good review because my students struggle on finding the answer in the passage.
Try your local party store or Walmart.
Weeeeeeell, that was my week, how was yours?
Teach Happy!
