WE MADE IT and we made plans to read over the break! Each student took at least 2 books from our class library home for the holiday (some took more). We held ourselves accountable by posting our plans on our Currently Reading board. As a bonus, the fact the titles are listed right on their name cards will make it really easy to track down any missing books when we come back in January. Now I’m off to enjoy my twelve days of freedom in the great state of Texas! #byebaltimore #texasforever #teachersofinstagram #currentlyreading #teachersonbreak

This just in: books are good for you! I had to snap a pic of this student’s bookmark that she made. It’s the little things that are really keeping me going as we get closer to break! 🙈 #teachergram #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram #iteachfourth #bookstagram
The face of someone who BARELY made it through teaching the full day before Thanksgiving. I’m just thankful we survived 🙏🏼 #teachersofinstagram #teachergram #iteachfourth #iteachtoo
We are starting The One and Only Ivan tomorrow, which means that we looked at new See-Think-Wonder pictures and anticipation statements today! I love showing my kids these, telling them that each one connects to our novel, and watching them make predictions. I leave these up throughout the book for us to refer back to. #iteachtoo #iteachfourth #teachergram #teachersofinstagram #readaloud
I love when ideas I come up with at the last minute end up working out! On Wednesday I had an extra 15 minutes to fill and decided to have kids make cards for our word wall using their spelling words for the week. This area will be a great place for kids to reference as we work on prefixes and suffixes. We also started practicing RACES for writing responses to texts, and today I had them try the first two parts of the acronym (restate and answer) on their own. It helped me see where everyone was at individually and displaying some of the model answers will help reinforce what our writing should look like! #keepitsimple #iteachfourth #iteachtoo #teachersofinstagram #teachergram
