Getting the Most out of Poetry

Come on over to see what I have my kids do with poetry throughout the week!

This can EASILY be adapted to be a center during the week.

Leaving Tracks of My Thinking

My 2nd graders have been so busy practicing their reading strategies, and I am so proud of them.  It is very exciting to see them THINK while they are reading.  This year we have been utilizing The Comprehension Toolkit by Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis, and the results are truly amazing.  Jump on over to I Love 2 Teach to grab a couple of freebies and see how I help my kiddos make text-to-text connections with fiction.

Daily Five Mini-lessons

Happy Saturday!

I just finished a blog post about how my Daily Five mini-lessons look in my room. It always helps me to see how someone else is doing things and I just love peeking into other teachers' rooms anyway... so if you're looking for any tips, head on over to my blog to see how we do it in Room 10!
