Pumpkin Life Cycle Writing

This week my first graders are learning all about pumpkins!  Today we went to the pumpkin farm, and on Friday we are having pumpkin day where we will have parents help with pumpkin learning stations all day.  Throughout the week, we have been working on writing explanatory text about the life cycle of a pumpkin.  Our district's professional development initiative this year is writing, so we have been connecting our writing to the common core standards.  This explanatory text is a great introduction to writing non-fiction.  The lessons and templates are below as well as the titles of the mentor texts we are using.  Click below to go to my blog and download this for yourself!

Surviving RTI

Hey all!
You know that awful acronym that rules our teaching....or seems to? I am no RTI expert, but I have found a way to survive RTI without all the stress! And I'm speaking about it at the next virtual teaching expo! You won't want to miss it! (But feel free to ignore the super awful close-up pic of me...)

Adventure to Fitness

It rained this week.  Recess was a goner.  (insert sad face and a couple of tears)  However, now I have a secret weapon.  If you haven't heard of Adventure to Fitness, come on over and check it out!  It will change inside recess as you know it!!!!!  :)

Table Makeover and a Freebie

Gosh, I wish I had taken a before picture of this table!  

A teacher friend let me have it...

just a plain, wooden table that I wanted so that I could put my computer over to the side of my desk (lower)...all I did was spray paint it red (Dollar Store) and then use white  apple barrel paint acrylic to put dots on it.  Too cute, right?  I had to use my camera phone, and I would love for you to overlook the much, much too full garbage can under the table...lol  The key to making great dots on (everything) is to use these:

I found mine in the craft section at Walmart...and I use them on everything. (as you can see)

Anyway, I created this for my kids.  I know a lot of teachers stay away from poems like this, but for those of you that would like this, I thought I'd share.  I plan on letting my kids paint (or color) 5 orange circles on the fence and then decorate the page.
Kids love this poem, acting out with the hand motions =)

Happy Saturday!!
