Somebody, Wanted, But, So Summary Freebie! I love using "somebody, wanted, but so" to help my students organize fiction summaries! Today I have been working on some things for our fairy tale genre study and we'll be doing this next week: If you download it, let me know what you think! :) This is a perfect follow-up activity to the Little Critter freebie I posted a while back- summary cards.
Centers It's a challenge to explain how I manage my centers. It's one of those things where you really have to be there to completely understand how it works. However, I'm not going to let that hold me back from sharing what I can with all of you! Here it goes..... This is my center board.

For each game board, glue a construction paper clock to a colored background. Label each of several chips (in sets of 12 chips) with numerals 1 - 12. In turn have each player roll a 12 sided die, then cover that number on her clock with the correctly labeled chip.
1000s FREE Preschool Printables and Kindergarten Teaching Aids - SparkleBox USA Main Idea and Details Some of my 3rd and 4th graders are having a difficult time with identifying Main Idea. Some just are not getting past the idea that not every paragraph or passage will have one sentence that will state the main idea. Others are just looking at the title of the piece and considering that the main idea, thus missing a lot of detail. So I really wanted to do an activity that pulls them away from text but still addresses the concept of main idea. Center Ideas I spent the morning copying, laminating, and packaging my fairy tales and winter math and literacy centers and I thought I'd share how they turned out. If you're anything like me, seeing a visual of centers helps me understand how the work. You can find these centers here and here. ABC Order This is my favorite activity.
