Friday Freebie & Featured Blogger

July 27, 2012

Have you visited Lisa over at Learning is Something to Treasure? She has been featuring a blogger each Friday and this week it was my turn! Thank you, Lisa for doing this for me. I am looking forward to getting some advice on how to keep school at school this year so I can focus on my family while I am home.

As part of this feature, I am also sharing a freebie. Enjoy 🙂

Thank you to all who correctly guessed the team that matches this logo. It is the Minnesota Twins. The TC stands for Twin Cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul). I sent e-mails to the winners of the contest.

✏️“I don’t know what to write.”⁣

If you teach writing workshop, you’ve probably heard this more times than you can count. When your mini lessons aren’t reaching every writer, it might be time to reach for a picture book. That’s why I’m so excited that @katemessner and @marksiegel2020 have teamed up again!⁣
⁣
How to Write a Story takes readers on a young girl’s journey from choosing an idea to sharing her finished writing piece. Kids are sure to get inspired by the colorful illustrations and create their next story. Swipe to sneak a peek inside the book.⁣

This morning I set my son up on the computer for his Google Meet and then slid back over to my computer to start work. After listening to his teacher cheerfully greet each and every student, she mentioned that she had a book to share. Suddenly I found myself caught up in her story. Why? Because she was reading Our Class is a Family written by my friend, Shannon.⁣
⁣
This rhyming story wants to help each and every student feel loved, included, and safe in the classroom. It shows that a classroom family celebrates what makes each member unique, how the people love and respect one another, and that the classroom is a safe place where it’s okay to make mistakes and grow together. This book is perfect for the first few weeks of school, but can also be revisited throughout the year.⁣
⁣
Sometimes a book comes along at the perfect time with an important message. No matter how you’re teaching right now, your class is like a family. Building relationships and community is more important than ever. Have you shared this book with your students yet?⁣⁣
⁣
P.S. I hope you’ll autograph my copy of #ourclassisafamily the next time I see you @lifebetweensummers 😉!⁣ ... See MoreSee Less

MONSTERS!

This weekend I updated my book companion for I Need My Monster by Amanda Noll. While working on that, I decided to add resources for the sequels to that story: Hey, That's My Monster! and How I Met My Monster. These book companions all have comprehension questions, vocabulary practice, graphic organizers, and either a monster craft or directed drawing. Take a peek at these new crafts. I had so much fun putting them together!

These companions have been bundled so you can mix-and-match the crafts between the books. I'll leave a link with more info below. ... See MoreSee Less
