{Teacher Week 2015} Favorite Subject

By
Happy Friday Y'all!! It's the last day of Blog Hoppin's Teacher Week 2015. Today's topic is Favorite Subject!

I would have to say my favorite subject to teach is READING!! I love to read so I love to share my LOVE of reading with my kiddos. Since I work in a school that isn't required to follow a specific curriculum, I'm free to design my own reading program. We use Journeys as a supplement though and follow the spelling and high frequency words in the curriculum. Why? To be honest, it's just easier! It's already there, each week, ready for us. Another Sanity Saver!!

I usually begin each reading mini lesson with a read aloud of a book that showcases our skills for the week. For example, when teaching story structure I may read a fairy tale. I use voices and I'm really animated when I read! Anything to get the students interested in the book. I'm always modeling what good readers should do, so I will stop and talk about what we've read so far. After reading we may create an anchor chart or complete an activity or do partner talk or use {questioning cards}. There's always something to reinforce the skill taught.

I created interactive notebooks last year to help excite my ELA block.
The kids LOVE to create their interactive notebook activities. It's a great way to practice and review the skills and words we are teaching. 



They are so fun! Well that's it for my #TeacherWeek15!! Thanks for joining me!

Hello friends! Thanks for joining me for day 3 of my blog launch! I hope you have been enjoying the posts each day and have been entering the rafflecopters!

COFFEE IS MY MOST FAVORITE THING EVER.  I also love anything mango flavored. Smoothies, cake, ice cream, candy, fruit, etc. All of it.  My most favorite color is pink! I've been known to buy things just because they were pink.  Wine and I have a nice relationship. Especially reds.   Did someone say glitter? Yes, I love glitter. No matter the question, the answer is always glitter.  And of course, technology. I love technology! Except when it doesn't work, then I don't like it so much.  I am also a Google Certified Educator! I love all things Google and I am excited to bring my class this year completely paperless!  The district has...

Thoughts on Thursday: Are You Ready for Some Football?

By
I'm so excited that this is Thursday and my friend Kristi from Pelicans and Pipsqueaks and I are launching our monthly link-up of teacher thoughts!  Thoughts on Thursday is a weekly teacher blog link up where we talk about our thoughts on a specific subject. Sometimes we'll talk about classroom stuff, and sometimes we'll talk about life in general. You may even grab a freebie or two along the way ;) It has been a wild month of August and I am beyond ready to get back into the swing of things. So this month - Football!! So it won't come as any surprise, but living in Baton Rouge, I'm a little bit of a Tigers fan. Just a little. No, of course my closet doesn't consist of ALL purple and gold. There is some black. And pink. I may or may not own solid gold shoes with purple laces. I can neither confirm nor deny that when I go shopping I look for shoes and jewelry that match my game day outfits. Yeah, okay. I mean, just look at all this wonderfulness! Who doesn't...
