Bookmarks

A had been learning to read. And her teacher has been great It sharing resources from her class. So I use this opportunity to take some of their resources and create little bookmarks for each of the kids. That way as they are reading they’ll have a visual reminder of their different strategies.

One side of the bookmark are there six strategies for when they get stuck when they read.

The the other side of the bookmark is the five parts of a story when working on retelling the story.

After after I printed the pictures on cardstock, the kids help me cut them out. Then we laminated them. Next we punched the hole to attach a ribbon.

Star Reading Chart

A is working on reading and we have started using a Star Reading Chart to help motivate and encourage her. The goal is to get her excited about reading.

Stars are earned by reading books. Different types of books earn different number of stars. (We choose stars because she is able to easily draw them into the boxes.)

Easy\Short books = 1 star.

Medium books = 2 stars.

Difficult books = 3 stars.

(Difficult level will change as rows are completed, so adjust number of stars as needed.)

I used a big piece of paper and drew boxes about 1″ x 1″.

As she completes a row she can earn a small treat\prize. When the whole chart is completed she can earn a large prize.

STEM 3 Little Pigs

Today after school we decided it would be a great day to do our 3 Little Pigs Activity.

To prep for this I wrote down my ideas, did a bit of searching, and came up with my ideas. Here I have a few options depending on time & how it is going. The nice thing about this is I now have some ideas set for future days if needed. 🙂

Room On The Broom

Today is brought to you by Room On The Broom, by Julia Donaldson. I found this set of printablesand was excited to try it.

So we found our book, grabbed all of our characters & the witches props & were ready to go! (Note: I love that both A & S are not even phased with the fact that everything is not exact to the story.)
