The first few weeks of school are so important for teaching classroom rules and expectations because it helps set the tone for the rest of the year. Teachers need to model the desired behaviors and let students practice them correctly over and over again until they become second nature. You can help make this process a little more enjoyable by sharing quality books that help teach classroom rules and expectations. Sometimes books have a way of getting through when your words can’t.
Are you looking for new ways to practice spelling and sight words? Here are several activities you can try in the classroom or at home with your kids. Your kids will have so much fun practicing their words!
Whether the groundhog sees his shadow or not, one book you should share with your students is Groundhog Weather School by Joan Holub and Kristin Sorra. This book takes a closer look at Groundhog Day and weather through the eyes of the groundhogs. I also want to share a few activities you can pair with this book.
Are you ready for fall? We are! We recently visited our local library to refresh our book collection. While we were there, I grabbed a handful of scarecrow books to read. After we enjoyed a few of the books, I showed my kids how to draw their very own scarecrows. I thought I would share some of my favorite scarecrow books and a directed drawing with you.
Libraries are magical places filled with adventure, interesting characters, mysteries, and more. Here are some great children’s books about libraries, librarians, and those who love to read books.
Are you getting ready to teach your students to compare and contrast? It’s very important to have the right materials on hand. Here are some of my favorite books to use when teaching students to compare and contrast.
I don’t know about you, but Groundhog Day always seems to sneak up on me each year. It has something to do with arriving so early in February and competing with so many other holidays early in the year. I tend to read several stories aloud to build schema about groundhogs and the holiday, but then we focus in on one story, Punxsutawney Phyllis (also called Wake Up, Groundhog). Here are some activities and resources you can pair with Punxsutawney Phyllis.
Here are some fun ways to incorporate other subject areas into your Air and Weather unit.

One of my favorite units to teach every year is the Air & Weather unit. Our district uses the FOSS Science Kits and I love how many hands-on activities there are for kids. However, over the years I have added a few extra activities to use during this unit and I wanted to share these activities with you. In this series of Air and Weather posts, you’ll find activities for clouds, songs & poems, games, art activities, and more. Enjoy!
