Sure, I had heard about the importance of reading aloud to students from my professors in college, and I was even an avid follower of Jim Trelease. However, it wasn’t until I had my own classroom that I learned the true value of read aloud books. In just my first month of teaching, I realized that a good book could calm my students down, engage them, inspire them and instruct them in a way that connected to their lives. Through those books, I also learned many lessons about teaching, about my students, and even about myself. 1. This book drives home the point of setting high expectations for your students, having a strong voice AND balancing it with warmth. 2. Let’s face it – all teachers have a rough day here and there and, as we learn in this book, so do our kids. source 3. 4. I read this book to my very first class on the first day of school. 5.

bubble gum FUN! (writing and math) I hope you all are enjoying your weekend! (Thank goodness for Saturdays, right?) I know I am, because I got all my grades finished and handed out yesterday. Such a relief! My students worked really hard this week, so to reward those little cuties... we had a GUM day! Of course, I made them earn it with good behavior (you gotta make 'em work for it)! She has so many great ideas! I made a few changes to this lesson and I adapted it to my 2nd grade students. First I gave my students some bubble gum (Double Bubble) and believe me, they were so excited! Then we chewed and CHEWED! You should have seen some of their faces... they were HILARIOUS and they looked like chipmunks! Then we talked about some bubble blowing tricks. When they were all done writing about How to Blow a Bubble, they did this cute little art activity to go with it. I was so impressed at how darling some of them turned out! And just in case you are wondering... Click the image below to download this fun activity:
40 Read Aloud Chapter Books for Young Children One of my New Year’s resolutions was to start reading chapter books at bedtime to our sensitive 4 year old son and spunky 2 year old daughter. Okay, the 2 year old might have been a stretch, but we’ll try anyway. Yes, chances are that your preschoolers, too, can sit still enough to listen to a long book while having breakfast (rather than watching TV) or at bedtime, when they’ve likely wound-down and welcome your prolonged presence before the lights are turned off for the night. Even if some of the language or concepts are slightly beyond your children’s understanding and maturity level in some of these books, you’ll be amazed at how much they will enjoy and even start to grasp “big” words and ideas after reading chapter books. (Hopefully, my own kids will learn to become overall better listeners as well!) Besides, habitual reading is a rewarding ritual to develop and excellent way to bond and build memories with your children at any age. You certainly don’t have to read all of them.

From Jim Wright: Intervention Ideas for WRITING The act of writing contains its own inner tensions. Writers must abide by a host of rules that govern the mechanics and conventions of writing yet are also expected—within the constraints of those rules-- to formulate original, even creative, thoughts. It is no wonder that many students find writing to be a baffling exercise and have little sense of how to break larger writing assignments into predictable, achievable subtasks. But of course writing can be taught and writing can be mastered. Content: Memorize a Story Grammar Checklist (Reid & Lienemann, 2006). References Bos, C.S. & Vaughn, S. (2002). Frus, P.

Top 100 Children's Books of All-Time Developing a love of the written word can begin while your child is an infant. Babies who are read to are much more likely to read earlier, understand concepts better, and be faster learners than babies who do not have the chance to experience books. It is never too early or too late to begin reading to and with your children. Choosing a variety of well written, colorful, and entertaining stories from some of the best children’s books ever will help develop a love of reading and a love of learning in your child. Sharing that time together and cuddling up with a story to share will also help build a bond between you and your child like nothing else can.

Geisel (Dr. Seuss) Award The Geisel Award is given annually to the author(s) and illustrator(s) of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year. 2021 Medal Winner See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog, written by David LaRochelle, illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka, and published by Candlewick Press See the Cat: Three Stories About a Dog is a deceptively simple book that teaches readers the power of words. The text is in direct contrast with the illustrations, defying both the reader’s and Max the Dog’s expectations. The simple text on the unadorned left page provides a stark contrast with the whimsical and expressive illustrations on the right. “Short and simple sentences pull children into Max’s interactions with the book’s narrator, and they will delight as Max eventually learns the power of words and takes agency over his own story,” said Geisel Award Committee Chair Lori Coffey Hancock. 2021 Honor Books Ty’s Travels: Zip, Zoom!
