Five for Friday

I am linking up with Five for Friday from Doodle Bugs.  If you haven't linked up before, make sure to join in.  Five for Friday is a weekly teacher link party where you post five random things from your week.   
 

{1} Organization

Anyone who knows me knows that I love organization and LABELS!   This pic of our subject folders and journals.  Love the color coding too :)

 

{2} An Apple for the Teacher

One of my sweet fourth graders brought me an apple during the first week of school.  Made my day!

 

{3} Self Portraits

The first week of school  my students created self portraits using oil pastels.  It was a great get-to-know-you activity and really turned out great!

 

 

{4} New Math Products

I am excited about two new Carson-Dellosa products I purchased.

 

Common Core Math 4 Today: Daily Skill Practice- This 96-page comprehensive supplement contains standards-aligned reproducible activities designed to focus on critical math skills and concepts that meet the Common Core State Standards.  This was an e-book, so it was a quick, easy download.

 

Common Core Thinking Mats- Build critical thinking skills and reinforce essential math skills with these thinking mats.  Each set includes 15 write-on/wipe-away mats with 15 sets of 24 coordinating game cards. With activities that can easily be customized to specific learning needs, the Thinking Mats are perfect learning tools for centers, learning stations, and group or individualized instruction.

{5} Friday Night Football

My oldest niece cheered at her first high school football game tonight.  It brought back a lot of fun memories from my cheering days and was a ton of fun.  Here are some highlights...

 

Teacher Week {2013}

It's day 3 of Teacher Week and today is all about organizing our classrooms!  We go back to school on August 26th, so I still have a ways to go on my classroom.  I actually look forward to decorating my class every year and love making it bright and comfy.

Made It Monday

I am linking up a day early with 4th Grade Frolics for my favorite weekly linky! After this week is it turning into a monthly linky for the school year.  I have two Made it Monday items that I created this week.  The first one is a freebie :)

Before Reading Activity Menu 

This four page freebie is a great addition to reading centers or Daily 5 activities. There are three different before reading menus with 9 activities on each card.  Click here for this freebie. 

 

Common Core: Text Dependent Question Prompts

The Common Core standards focus on students’ ability to read closely to determine what a text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it.

Rather than asking students questions about their prior knowledge or experience, the standards expect students to respond to questions that can only be answered by referring explicitly back to the text in front of them. This resource contains 16 text dependent questions. It can be used as a center or for small groups.

Back to School

I have been slowly getting my new classroom in order.  It's hard to get started when you have a blank slate, but also leaves room for a lot of imagination.  So far I've done a couple of bulletin boards and a lot of organizing.  Here's what I have so far...

Monday Made It- Crate Seats

After seeing these all over Pinterest, I finally decided to make crate seats.  They weren't very hard to make and turned out amazing!  I am linking up with Monday Made It to share this fun craft.

 

 

What you need:

• plastic crates
• fabric
• 1" thick foam
• plywood
• spray adhesive
• staple gun

 

Steps:

1. Measure the length and width of your crates so you know how your plywood needs to be cut. I just took my crate into Home Depot with me and had them measure it.
2. Lay your plywood on top of the mattress pad and trace as many as you need.
3. Cut out your fabric making sure to leave enough around the edges to fold over the seat.
4. Use spray adhesive to glue your foam pieces down on the plywood.
5. Pull the fabric around and staple it to the plywood.  I did it like we were wrapping a present.
6. Set the board onto the crate and plan what you're going to put inside.
