Happy Hump Day!
Well, we’re more than half way through this week. I hope your week is flying by
as fast as mine. Every year seems to go by faster than the previous year. I
can't believe we are already into January and almost half way through the year.
This year I started
implementing the Daily 5 in my classroom. The hardest aspect that I have found
is finding meaningful work for students to complete at their seats. I created
journal prompts that students can use for any story or novel they are reading.
This really cuts down on the "busy work" and allows my students to be
show their understanding through a creative outlet.
This 19 page
resource contains 36 different writing prompts for higher level thinking. These
can be used in isolation with certain skills or even as a center. My students
look forward to their journaling rotation with the use of these prompts. Head
over to my TpT store to grab this item while it is on sale!
Just found your blog on the TPT blog thread. =)

ReplyDeleteI love these higher level thinking cards. I'm going to check out your store. I teach third grade language arts in Ohio. I've been searching around for third grade blogs and I'm glad I found yours. It looks like we have a lot in common! :)
