Everyone has a story to tell. What is yours?

Monday Made It – Brain Breaks

I feel like my summer to-do list is expanding every single day with new projects thanks to Pinterest and my blogger buddies.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a good project as much as the next gal, but they are taking over my home!  So, you can only imagine my incredible sense of relief that I am able to pull out that highlighter and check-off a major project.  I have done it – I finished my Brain Breaks!
I have never done Brain Breaks in the classroom before.  I had heard the term here and there over the past couple of years and became interested in trying it out this year.  I compiled a list of movements & games that I would do in my own classroom.  I have made two different sets.  Both are available in my TpT store.
Swirls

Red Dots

 

Since I LOVE a good freebie, I am giving away a set of your choice to TWO lucky followers of my blog.  Here are the simple rules:
1.  Follow my blog.
2.  Leave me a comment telling me which set you would prefer.
3.  Make sure to include your e-mail address or a way to contact you if you’re the lucky winner 🙂
That’s it – easy peasy!!  Your comment must be posted by Wednesday, July 18th to be entered. 
So that’s it for today.  Head on over to 4th Grade Frolics and see what everyone else has made!

✏️“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.⁣
⁣
What are some of your favorite picture books about writing?⁣ I'll share some of my favorites down below.

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
