I’ve joined with many other teachers in offering a discount on all my products - THIS WEEKEND ONLY! I went through each and every item in my store and marked down all my material. And because I don’t use Teachers Pay Teachers, you may find that my prices are even lower because I keep all my profit! Happy shopping, teachers.

The other day we were doing “popcorn” reading where the students take turns reading a paragraph out loud. After their paragraph is over they get to call on another student to read the next paragraph by saying, “popcorn” and then the next reader’s name. Some of my kiddos have been getting silly with “popcorning” other students by saying, “popcorn with extra butter” or “popcorn with extra corn” before calling the next reader. Well, one of my students was in the middle of saying “popcorn with extra butter” when another student did something that distracted him, so he stopped in the middle of his sentence. Instead of what he meant to say, we all heard, “popcorn with extra butt...”
Of course we all burst out in uncontainable laughter and the room filled with “ews” and “gross.” Needless to say, it took a minute or two to redirect the students, but I eventually got them back on track.

When teaching division and long division with my students, I teach them to memorize the steps: Divide, Multiply, Subtract, then Bring down (or up). Making these flip books allows students to see each of the steps on individual pages.
(I didn't include every page of the flip book)

I always get sad at the end of the school year. Of course I'm happy that summer has come, but I consider my students my "buds," whom I feel so blessed to be able to spend every day with. I miss them deeply over the summer, but as the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Here are my plans for summer.
This week in English, my students learned how to use references to locate specific information. Today, our Friday Fun Day activity involved the use of Encyclopedias and Atlases. The students worked in groups to research a state. Each group researched a different state of their choosing. Their research packet included specific questions about the state, and students were required to use the encyclopedia and atlas to answer the questions.
Once they answered the questions, they created a poster which includes some of the facts they researched. At the end of the day, students presented their poster and research information to the class.
