What I’m Working On

July 18, 2012

It’s Wednesday and here’s what I have been working on:

First, I’m looking into doing a Star of the Week board.  I want to feature one student each week.  I’m thinking the student could bring in photos to put on the board along with filling out some kind of All About Me sheet.  So, how many of you do some version of Star of the Week?   If you have posted a photo on your blog or pinned something on Pinterest, send me a link because I want to check it out!  Even if you don’t have a photo I would still like to hear about how you incorporate this into your classroom.

Next, have you seen this on Pinterest?

I really liked the simplicity of it, but didn’t just want to copy it.  If you know me, I love a good acronym.  Here’s what I put together:

What do you think?   Is this something you would actually use in your own classroom?  I can make a few different backgrounds if there is enough interest.  You can get your own copy of this poster by clicking on the image above.

    I love your LINE poster. I would use that in my room! I do a star of the week tied to my theme for the year. This year is mystery so it'll be Detective of the Week. I have them fill in a paper and bring things from home. On Friday we share everything. The kids love it!

    I'm also going to do STAR of the week this year. I think it's a great idea! If I see any good resources, I'll send them your way!

    Have you read how Beth Newingham does her star of the week? I am doing a King/Queen of the Jungle this year and I follow her format. I tried it out last year and the kids loved it! I loved it too! One of the days during the week, a family member will come have lunch with the child, and my favorite was reading aloud a letter a family member wrote to them about how awesome they were. It was phenomenal. Check it out HERE and let me know if you have any questions about it 🙂

    Hi LuAnn,
    You can grab the LINE poster and parent contact log from my freebies page. There is a tab near the top of my page, just under my header. Once you're there, just scroll until you see the images you want.
    Thanks!

Now it’s your turn! 😊
Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They us Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They use blankets, stools, and other furniture to make it as big as they can. Then they fill it with their bedding and stuffed animals. Inside, you can find them reading books, playing games, and giggling. I think that’s why I was drawn to this book. This story follows a group of friends as they build new forts to match each season. This book is jam-packed with verbs and will have your kids dreaming of their next fort creation!

When Farah notices the butterflies have disappeare When Farah notices the butterflies have disappeared from her neighborhood, she realizes there aren’t enough green areas for them. Around the same time, she discovers that the mayor is looking for ideas on what to do with some public land nearby. That’s when Farah springs into action. She writes a letter to the mayor with plans for a community garden filled with beautiful flowers and healthy foods. But she isn’t the only one with plans for the empty lot. Can Farah get her community involved to see her idea come to life?⁣

When kids want to get involved and make a difference in their community, they might need some help getting started. Books can help! Rise Up and Write It just might encourage and inspire the next young activist. I love that this book includes little envelopes filled with surprises between the pages. ⁣

Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for h Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for her to make friends. She doesn’t always know what to do, what to say, or when to say it. So she decides to create her own friends out of materials and items she has around the house. These friends make her feel comfortable.⁣
⁣
But one day, Meesha is invited to a party. It is loud, chaotic, and unpredictable, so Meesha finds a quiet corner to create some other friends to play with. Soon, a boy named Josh asks if she will show him her creations. Even though Meesha is hesitant, she soon opens up and realizes how much fun it is to have a real friend. ⁣
⁣
Making friends is not always easy. It takes time, trust, and finding common ground. I love that this book showcases both the joy and struggles in making and keeping friends. This would be a great book to add to your SEL book collection or books about friendship.⁣

I Wish You Happiness is filled with words of encouragement for kids to be the best they can be. The illustrations capture each wish beautifully. I love that some of the illustrations were inspired by real people who dared to dream big. It was also fun to spot all of the different dogs in the illustrations (17 in all). You know I love gifting books and this one would make a great gift!⁣
