Creepy! Crawlers



Creepy ! Crawlers is a level 2 Spectrum Readers from Carson Dellosa. WOW! I did not know all this information about arachnids! This book would make a great addition to a guided reading program. Kids would be eating this information up! The pictures are great – real photographs and up close (too close for my comfort!). The book has enough repetition to help beginner readers and enough new vocabulary to make them work and learn. There are helpful hints inside the cover for the parents and questions to ask in the back. I would love to have a set of these for my classroom for guided reading groups. Non-fiction is the in thing with the kids. I would even be able to use it as a read aloud during our “insect” unit – to find out that spiders are NOT insects! Always a cool fact for kiddos. I must say, I learned  tons of information about different spiders and arachnids from this book. The choices in these books is amazing! You can always check it out yourself at this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FrahEzhSxg&list=UU3GUHj-hsfTDBiUWiTRQlIw&index=2
Nice when the teacher can learn as much as the students!  I would recommend these for anyone looking to enhance their reading program! They would be great for K- 2 graders and really start them off on a good note in reading because the text is leveled correctly and the photos are amazing. Way to bring the world to life – and the hands of our readers! I participate in the Brand Ambassador Program for Carson-Dellosa and I received this
product for free to try and review.

Clutter Free Classroom Assignment

The Closet Abyss!This is the closet with the language arts materials - alphabet recognition, rhyming, beginning and ending sounds, sight words, oh my! It was looking better till I bought more stuff and tried to put it in here! It is somewhat organized- rhyming stuff on one shelf, abc stuff on another, sight words on another, for the most part!This is the only large cabinet I have like this. :(   Is it any wonder why I don't use all that I have? AND when summer gets here - everything in the classroom has to be packed away - which means even more is shoved into all these closets! This is above the hooks for the kid's coats. It is organized but not pretty. These cabinets hold my literature. The bags are letter bags. I have one for each letter. The other stuff on top is stuff that doesn't fit into a cabinet. This area of my room is what I call the mud room. When you come into the classroom, this is where you come first. Then there is an opening right at the snowma

Chapter 3

What should your math work stations, look like, sound like and feel like?   I have not done math stations this year. That is the plan for next year:) I hope they look like the ones in this book!! lol I do want to make sure that I MODEL all the materials before I put them out in the stations. I want them to be a great place for the students to work and learn and have fun. What does your management board look like? I will be making a pocket chart- I think. I will be using their pictures for the board. I want to see some more ideas from all the other great bloggers. How do you support math vocabulary (math talk cards) in your stations?   WOW - do I need to work on this. I have thought about making a word wall of sorts with math vocab. I want to add more of this and make sure that it is included in the stations. I also want to connect it with some Whole Brain Teaching concepts that use gestures for the words.  This is a great chapter! I need to sit and look at the schedule to fit

It's February!!!  Oh my! It's February already! January went by fast! And we had NO snow days! A few delays and one early dismissal but no snow days! I'm glad! We have several built into the calendar and I would like those off. Then I can do what I want and have fun. I know! Snow days are fun too! But I'm hoping not to lose the make up days at Easter cause I don't want to use too many personal days! lol Well, this is always fun to link up with Farley at  http://ohboy3rdgrade.blogspot.com/2015/01/currently-february.html LISTENING - yes, the Super Bowl is on! It's been going on all day. Finally at the kickoff! My NY Giants aren't playing this year, so I'm not really caring which team wins.
