I have the benefit, and sometimes misfortune, of not only being mom to an ADHD child but also a teacher. So often, it puts me in between a rock and a hard place. I understand the frustration of having a difficult child in the classroom that is disruptive. I also understand the frustration and joy of loving a wiggly little boy that is full of energy and silliness.
That being said, it also gives me a different perspective of both sides. Here are a few things that I know parents would love to tell you if they could.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<br />
Part of the definition of ADHD is the lack of focus. I know how much potential my child has "if only he would focus." He is, by definition, incapable. He is an 8 year old boy and has not yet learned how to cope with this disability. Rather than telling me at every conference and on every report card about how much better he could do, why don't we work on teaching him the strategies that he needs so that he actually WILL do better? Let's work together as a team to help him succeed rather than constantly reminding everyone of his downfalls.

Yes, we will support you in all of the discipline concerns that you have. Yes, we will be there for our child when he is having a meltdown. Yes, we know that he is going to get into trouble and we will be there. But getting into trouble is not the only thing that he is good at. He is also genuine. He is thoughtful. He is smart. He is kind. He is sensitive. Don't define him by his faults only. You wouldn't want someone to do that to you. Don't do it to a child. Look for the good. Tell us about the good in him too. Don't let us be the only ones that see the good in him. I don't need to hear about every time that he was off task or talking in line.

<br />
ADHD children are impulsive. They do things without even thinking about them. Sometimes their brains are spinning so fast that they can't keep up. They lack filters. So often, my child will do something and not even realize that he has done it. He will be talking in class or spinning his pencil or leaning back in his chair. When you correct him, he will say "no I didn't" even though you just saw him doing it. It isn't because he is trying to get out of trouble. It isn't because he is lying to you. It is because his body and brain moves so fast that he honestly doesn't realize that he was doing it. He is unaware of his actions and his surroundings. He doesn't know that he is doing these things. You have to work with him and help him to become more self aware. He can't fix something that he doesn't know he is doing. Don't punish him for lying to you on top of the punishment for talking out. You can't punish him for every little thing. Be understanding. Pick your battles.

<br />
Imagine that you are on the teacups at Disney and you are spinning and spinning. At the same time, someone is telling you all about multiplying fractions and you have to complete 20 problems before the ride stops. How well could you handle it? <br />
<br />
This is the same for kids with ADHD. They are trying to concentrate but there is too much going on around them that they are unable to filter out. Their brains are working overtime and they can't keep up. Would you get mad if you got a bad grade on those 20 multiplication problems? Would you argue that it is unfair? Of course you would, and so do our children. They can't explain to you why it is so frustrating for them. They can't explain why it is unfair. They need you to understand and be their advocate. They need you to help them to get through this frustration.
<br />
<br />
We, as teachers, tend to see the frustration more than we see the reason for the frustration. We hear the child say "it's unfair" or huff and moan under his breath. We see him slump in his desk or roll his eyes. We see him hide his papers in the back of his desk or tear them up to make them "disappear." We tend to fuss at him for being disrespectful or for not trying. The fact is, he's not trying to be disrespectful. He IS trying to do his work and what you are asking. He is at his frustration point. As a child, he doesn't know how to tell you that he can't concentrate or that he can't do the work you are asking. It is up to you. You need to be aware of what is happening. You have a choice to make. You can either discipline him for being disrespectful and lose his trust in you... OR, you can choose to find the reason behind the behavior and help him through his frustration.

Yes, there are those few parents that you get frustrated with because it seems that they never discipline their children. Their children get away with everything and sometimes even get rewarded for bad behavior. That doesn't mean that every parent with a "behavior" child is that way. You can not "cure" ADHD with good parenting. Good parenting will help the child learn to cope and use strategies to get them through it, but it will not fix everything. There will still be lots of bumps along the way. Don't judge us too harshly. It wasn't something that we did to make our child this way. We are battling many things on a daily basis and we don't need the teachers to be another battle we have to face. We don't need to feel like it is our fault. Work with us rather than playing the blame game!

<br />
Just because we are the parents doesn't mean that we have all the answers. Yes, I know my child better than anyone else, but that doesn't mean that I will be able to fix every problem. I will do everything in my power but it will take time. If I had a magic answer, I would have already told you. I am not hiding any secrets from you. I am doing the best that I can. When you call me out of frustration with my child, I am not always going to have an answer for you. Sometimes, my answer is going to be "I don't know," because I truly don't know right now. Not because I am a bad parent.

If you make a promise to my child, keep it. If he needs a break, give him one (don't make him earn it because that will simply never happen). If he has earned a reward, give it to him. Don't wait until tomorrow. It loses all of its meaning by then. If he has a plan to help him through his day, then keep the plan. Stay on track. He needs you to be consistent. He needs you to be dependable.

Remember that he is only a child. Help him learn his strategies and coping skills.
Yes, we know that he won't be able to behave this way in the real world. That is why we are teaching him. He isn't in the real world yet. We have 13 years of school to teach him and give him the strategies that he needs to survive in the real world. Help us.<br />

<br />
We have already talked about the frustrations that a child with ADHD endures. Part of those frustrations also come from not having a voice. It is hard for a child with ADHD to express themselves. He has hundreds of feelings running through him and no way to explain them. Give him a voice. Take the time to talk with him. Even if he struggles, give him a chance. Even if his opinions are wrong or his perception is completely skewed, let him talk. His opinion matters. His feelings matter. <br />
<br />
Sometimes a child with ADHD has perception issues. He doesn't "see" what is happening around him the same way that we do. Just like he doesn't see his actions, he often doesn't see how he is effecting others. When he gets into trouble, he doesn't understand why. He needs to you to explain it to him. He needs you to hear his side of it. He needs you to believe him, even if it wasn't what really happened. Let him tell you his side. Then tell him what you saw. You might see that he is not being intentional and be able to help him through the situation rather than just making him feel like a failure yet again. Just because it doesn't always match up, doesn't mean that he is lying to you. He is telling you what he sees and he needs you to believe him. Explain it to him. Take the time. Don't dismiss him.

It is hard for kids with ADHD to make friends. They are seen as trouble makers. They make other children nervous because of their impulsiveness. They can be overwhelming. They will try to show off for others to make them laugh; thinking that is the way to make friends. Help them to make friends; good friends. Show them the way. Give them some strategies. Help us as parents, to encourage good friendships with their peers at school.

You can see I have flexible seating in my room. The 2 low tables are for kneeling. My wonderful mama is making me some oh so cute pillows for the kids to kneel on. I have a tall table for standing. And I have 2 tables for sitting in chairs. I am writing a grant for Hokki stools this year too..... Here's hoping! Once my kiddos have mastered these choices, I will offer belly reading/writing on small bathroom rugs with clip boards.<br />

I have had a lot of inspiration from other teacher bloggers when creating these plans. That is what we do best isn't it? Share and learn from others? Perhaps you can gain some ideas from mine as well!<br />
<br />
I like to be detailed in my year long planning because it saves me time throughout the school year. It also helps me get into a routine/pattern. I think that having an expected routine/pattern helps when teaching Kindergarten. The consistency that it builds helps our little people to adjust.<br />
<br />
My plans are divided by advisory. We have four advisories.<br />
<br />
First advisory:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikZyjmknC2fFpbT5-wkReFMf94w6YMwvxOdgc4rCXgXlrnkakNpftCQ_cB68wNa2fDkdcOPT4_HKH45O6gTScs0O1UEA8E377ClwSLoir75gLFCIvD5K03mcLG_iTr_X5n-sM_s9sOD-0b/s1600/pg1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikZyjmknC2fFpbT5-wkReFMf94w6YMwvxOdgc4rCXgXlrnkakNpftCQ_cB68wNa2fDkdcOPT4_HKH45O6gTScs0O1UEA8E377ClwSLoir75gLFCIvD5K03mcLG_iTr_X5n-sM_s9sOD-0b/s640/pg1.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Second advisory:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lH5ZlzLK-0_2SsKxcQOXjXI_M7HMCGrNjiBePI1RCMfSpqJhwm5Y1DqM_MwAcfd9WuYzpWGL5yOoemHMJZ0wfU4GmFA9Zmo8omONAgW1zSEmBA6yiNMuf3MWIWW8wo48QqWHb_5oV_jj/s1600/pg2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8lH5ZlzLK-0_2SsKxcQOXjXI_M7HMCGrNjiBePI1RCMfSpqJhwm5Y1DqM_MwAcfd9WuYzpWGL5yOoemHMJZ0wfU4GmFA9Zmo8omONAgW1zSEmBA6yiNMuf3MWIWW8wo48QqWHb_5oV_jj/s640/pg2.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />

<br />
Fourth advisory:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
You can see that we use Superkids as our reading curriculum. I have only paced out Superkids for the first semester. That allows us to adjust our pacing as needed for the second semester. I also go above and beyond the Superkids curriculum, so I have included the other phonics skills that I am teaching as well. I include phonemic awareness daily, so that is not included... it is implied. Those skills include rhyming, segmenting, etc.<br />
<br />
The nursery rhyme that I use weekly is for teaching Concept of Word. If you haven't checked out my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Jessica-Hamilton/Category/Concept-of-Word-188013">Nursery Rhyme products</a>, you definitely need to!! It includes so many great skills!<br />
<br />
The book each week is for our shared reading time. During this time, we start by reading the story for fun. Then we do different activities with them for building comprehension and writing skills. Sometimes we even do a craft with it for fun!<br />
<br />
You can also see that the fourth advisory is not complete for sight words and alphabet. That is because I want to wait and let my kids direct me by that point. I want to see how they are doing and where we want to go from there! <br />
<br />
My hope is to share with you every week throughout the school year so that you can see all of the fun we are having!

Confession: I do not like changing out my bulletin boards throughout the school year! Once it is up, it is up. It's not coming down until the year is over.<br />
<br />
So, I need my boards to look pretty and new all year long! I need them to last!<br />
<br />
I learned quickly that bulletin board paper crumples no matter how carefully I put it up! I leaves holes when I take something down to put up new. And it fades!<br />
<br />
So that leads me to Hack #1: Use Fabric!<br />

I started to use fabric and have not looked back since! Each year I check the clearance bin at Walmart for cheap fabrics in my colors. I might buy one or two new fabrics a year, but often times, I don't feel the need to buy any new. I have been using fabric for 9 years, and the first ones that I bought still look new and fresh! Buying a little at a time, helps to save my wallet (and husband) from being so upset with me. I love looking for ones with a small print. It adds a little texture to my room without being overbearing.<br />

My other downfall is borders. Borders crinkle and crumple. They don't always fit and I can't stand little pieces. I always overlap my borders so I don't have to cut, but that means I need more border for each bulletin board. Trying to store them throughout the year is impossible, especially when you have a lot of different borders. Not to mention, my OCD kicks in if the border just doesn't quite fit with my fabric that I have up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So that leads me to Hack #2: Use Fabric!! <br />

Haha, I know! It's the same as Hack #1, but I think that's the point. The past two years I have decided to use fabric as borders to add a little texture and oomph to my bulletin boards. It holds up SO much better AND it looks pretty and bright all year long! At the end of the year, I simply fold it up and put it with the rest of my fabric. I love it too, because I can use the same fabric on all of my bulletin boards to bring my room together. And it won't cost me a fortune!<br />
<br />
So I bought a corresponding color of fabric. I bought black to offset the bright colored fabric that I have for my background on my bulletin boards. You can see it has little white polka dots, just to add a little something extra.<br />
<br />
I have several big bulletin boards, so I bought a piece that was 3 yards and a piece that was 2 yards for a total of $15. When you buy fabric, it is usually already folded in half. That is a plus. I fold it in half one more time (longways) and then cut the folds so that I have 4 long pieces. Each piece is about 6-8 inches wide or so.<br />

The next part takes a little time, but it is not hard and it will last all year. That makes it worth it. When I put this up, I just bunch and staple! Bunch, staple, bunch, staple, bunch, staple. As you go, you can fluff it up. You can't really mess it up, because it is all bunchy!<br />

The task of organizing a classroom library can be SO daunting. Where to begin? How many tubs to do I need? What is the best way to sort my books? How can I make it easy and inviting for my students? This has been my summer task and today I am sharing with you how it is going. Please keep in mind, that I am nowhere near done (it will take me ALL summer to organize the number of books that I have) but I am getting there!!<br />

This is my confession to you! I own so many books it is ridiculous!! I have FIVE bookcases FULL at school and FOUR bookcases FULL at home. (These are NOT small bookcases.) My husband swears that he will not buy me anymore bookcases because I will just fill them up! This is terrible, but part of me cannot wait until my littlest son is older so that I can take all of my children's books from home into my school classroom library! My name is Jessica, and I am a book hoarder. I also have a really hard time letting the kiddos touch my special favorite books (isn't that terrible?). It truly is an addiction!<br />

Obtaining a full classroom library truly takes time and money (something that we teachers do not have a lot of). We are helping you find some cheap places to gather these materials! Awhile back, Emily compiled a list of great ways to gather books for your classroom, over on Adventures in Literacy Land. You can check out Em's <a href="http://www.adventuresinliteracyland.com/2014/07/building-classroom-library.html">list here</a>. She has tons of great ideas.<br />
<br />
I know that here in Virginia, we have what is called the <a href="http://www.gvbookfair.com/">Green Valley Bookfair</a>. It is a serious addiction. Every few months they open up this huge warehouse (it used to be a barn and they have had to add on to it) filled with discounted books. Teacher's Paradise! Do NOT let me in this place with a credit card! (My husband only allows me to go twice a year!)<br />

Since my classroom is currently being cleaned, I can't really get into it at the moment. Instead, I have loaded up the car and brought <i>some</i> of them home. I could only fit about half of them into the back of the van but it gives me a good start.<br />

Next, I had to decide how I wanted to sort my books. There are many ways to go about this and a lot of it depends on you and your school. Personally, I like when my students can find books that interest them. I want them to easily be able to find their favorite race car book or Pete the Cat. The other thing that I want to consider is the reading levels of my books. I have had years when I sorted my books strictly on book level and students were only allowed to choose from certain shelves that contained their level. This is great for readability but not for interest.<br />
<br />
This year, I have decided to do BOTH! Each book will contain 2 stickers on the inside cover, one with the topic of the book and the other with the level of the book. Books will physically be sorted by their topic but students (and I) will also be able to see what level the book is. At my school, we use Fountas and Pinnell. This is what I will be leveling my books by. I prefer this leveling system to AR, grade level, and Lexiles. I think that it considers the book as a whole better than other leveling systems. It looks at the readability, content, vocabulary, and appropriateness of the book. I do recommend looking to Lexiles for your outlying students however (older students reading at a low level, younger students reading at a high level). But that is a topic for a different day! =)<br />
<br />
So, why am I choosing to sort using both concepts? Many teachers do not believe in letting students know their reading level because they judge one another and themselves against their peers. I get that. I do. I also get that students are going to do this regardless of us telling them their reading level or not. I think that this strategy can be used appropriately and with gentle care, and can then be very successful in the classroom. In my classroom, my students track their own progress throughout the school year, using this chart that I made. You can pick it up for free at my store.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
They always know what level they are. We set goals together. We discuss their reading progress together. Please understand that I also spend a lot of time helping students to understand that they are capable and that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. We celebrate each time that a student meets their goal and I put more emphasis on reading <i>growth</i> than on reading<i> level</i>.<br />
<br />
Each student in my classroom has a book box. They are allowed to choose 3 books from my library each week. Two of these books must be within their reading level and one can be ANY level. This is to give them the opportunity to just enjoy reading! I have made my reading levels color coded and in groups so that students who are reading at a C, D, or E are all reading books with green stickers. These students may choose any book with a green sticker. Keep in mind that this should be their INDEPENDENT reading level, not their instructional level. I plan to keep an index card paper clipped to the inside of the book box that will contain a sticker for the student's current level as a reminder for them.<br />

<br />
So now that I have decided HOW I am going to sort, it is now time to do it. Where to begin? I find it easiest to begin with my books that are in a series. These books are obviously going to go together. Magic Tree House in one tub; Cam Jansen in another. Little Bear in a tub; Frog and Toad in another.<br />
<br />
I found these great tubs at the Dollar Tree and started sorting them.<br />

<br />
Then I began labeling them. I created these labels with the topic and a space that says "This book belongs to ________." These went on the inside cover of the book. (I didn't put them on front because I don't want it to be distracting to the students). I will also place a matching sticker on the front of the basket that holds these books. So a Magic Tree House sticker will go on the inside of the book AND on the tub holding the Magic Tree House books.<br />

<br />
Next, I had to find the guided reading levels for each of the books. I found that Scholastic Book Wizard had the majority of the levels that I needed. Book Wizard even has an app now where you can scan the bar-code for easy look up. I had a little trouble with the scanning, but since I was only looking at series books at this point it was easy to search Magic Tree House and find all of my levels. Then I place the leveling sticker on the inside cover of the book under the topic sticker.<br />

Next, I started in on my picture books. This part is still on-going. Picture book topics come in a huge range and determining the topics is the most daunting task (for me anyway). I am a bit of a perfectionist so I have a really hard time with this. I think the easiest thing to do is clear a big space on the floor and spread them out. Find a few books that are on a similar topic (probably an easy start would be animals) and put them into a basket. Keep going until all books are "categorized." Then go back and look at your baskets and see if any of your topics need to be broken up into smaller categories, such as farm animals and ocean animals.<br />

Once I have the topics labels in my picture books I will go back and add the level for each of these. I have found that I have a lot of old books from the Rigby series as well as others. These are obviously not going to show up in the Scholastic Book Wizard. I will share with you below a few places that I have found for finding levels. Please understand that there may be some discrepancy among these levels as they are not coming directly from the Fountas and Pinnell website. Sometimes you just have to use your own judgement.<br />

If you have a series of books that you cannot find the levels for, my best advice is to find the publisher's website. I was amazed at how often I was able to do a search on the company website and find the reading level right there!<br />

Have one basket just for damaged books - The Book Hospital - and one basket just for returns! This is a classroom job in my room. My librarian helpers return the books to their correct baskets simply by matching up the topic pictures on the inside cover of the book! Every week or so, I will fix any damaged books placed in the book hospital basket and move them to the return basket for my librarian helpers to put away.<br />

Now, once I have topic stickers and guided reading stickers in each of my books, my library should be able to run itself. Students can easily find the books that are their level. They can easily find books of interest to them. They can easily PUT THE BOOKS AWAY to the correct basket!<br />

With a new look!It has been almost a full year. I can't believe it has been this long since I blogged on here but it has been a busy year. If you remember, I was moved to Kindergarten. I survived! It has been busy and exciting and completely full of new things. I can't believe how wonderful it has been!<br />
<br />
Since I am down in Kindergarten now and I am starting fresh with my blogging, I figured it was time for a fresh look as well. I have changed my name to The Primary Treehouse, since I will be covering all things primary and elementary, not just first grade. I have given myself a complete makeover and I LOVE it!!<br />
<br />
By July 1st, I plan to also become a .com so you will no longer find me at this address, but at www.theprimarytreehouse.com! Hopefully it will redirect you straight there, but I want you to be prepared just in case!! <br />
<br />
I have so many new things to share with you. I do hope you will join me on my new journey!Jessica Hamiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15682627435031761156noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1714352433146275354.post-43593090468080393612015-09-10T08:00:00.000-04:002016-06-14T22:09:01.749-04:00Chicka Chicka Boom BoomShare reading is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite parts of our day. Each week, I am choosing a new picture book to share with my class. My goal is to not only teach reading skills, but to share some wonderful picture books and teach my students to love reading them! <br />
<br />
<br />
Our second week of school, we read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom.<br />
<br />
On day one, we read the story just for fun. The kids absolutely love the repetition of it and the part where the "mommies and daddies and uncles and aunts" all kissed their booboos and wiped their knees.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Day two, we reread the story for fun. Then each student decorated a large letter for the first letter of their first name. We attached a sentence strip that said "is for _____" and they traced their name.<br />
<br />

On day three, we read the story once more. Then we made our coconut trees with foam letters to spell out our names.<br />

<br />
Day four, we did a shared writing. By this point, my kiddos basically had the story memorized. I wrote onto chart paper, as the kids recited the basic lines "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Will there be enough room?" As I wrote, we talked about how we start on the left and work our way right. We talked about how we put spaces between each word. We even practiced some one to one correspondence.<br />
<br />
On day five, we did a retell of our story. I gave each kid a letter of the alphabet. My assistant and I took the extras. We went through and decided which letter climbed the coconut tree first. The student that had the first letter got to bring their letter up to our big coconut tree and put it on. Then the next student, with the next letter and so on. The kids loved it! <br />

I thought you might like to know that I am still alive.... I am surviving Kindergarten!<br />
<br />
I wanted to share with you my new classroom. I have been teaching for 9 years now and there have only been 2 times that I have not had to change rooms. Let's just say, I am getting good at packing and unpacking! My theory is that they just keep moving me around so that I will clean out the classrooms and throw away all of the non essentials that get left behind.<br />
<br />
So here is what I started with:<br />

Please take note that the built in bookshelves and all around the bulletin boards were painted LIME GREEN! I love some bright colors and all, but having the walls painted that way was just a little much. <br />

I use a shoe rack for storing water bottles. I hung it with command hooks and it works great! The little cookie sheet is for keeping magnetic names for each kid. Then can then move their name to the square on the door on the bathroom to show that someone is in there (we have metal doors). If they are waiting for a turn to go into the bathroom, then they can line their names up along the side of the door frame.<br />

<br />
So often, teachers want to know how do I start my groups? How do I teach them to do what I want them to at the center? How do I get them to listen?<br />
<br />
The first 6 weeks of guided reading are the most crucial for setting up consistency and routine. This is when you are teaching them HOW to be in centers. You are NOT pulling any groups at this point. <br />
<br />
Jan Richardson has an amazing schedule for those first 6 weeks. This is what I live by. If you have been following this series, you will already know that I make my groups heterogeneous, so the actual grouping does not matter those first few weeks. Just make sure they are groups that will behave well together.<br />
<br />
The first step is to find 5 centers that do not actually require any learning or knowledge. These are TEMPORARY centers. This was the hardest part for me to get past. It is that realization that I am going to allow them to play for 30 minutes or so every day during reading time. It seemed like such a waste of my ever so precious time. But I promise you it is SO worth it! This 30 minutes a day will set you up for real uninterrupted learning for the rest of the year.<br />
<br />
The centers that I use are: coloring books, puzzles, building blocks, pattern blocks, and unifix cubes. I know lots of these are math tubs, but I am killing two birds with one stone here, because they get time to play in the math tubs before we begin math centers! You could also use a play area if you are a lower grade that has imaginary play centers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here is the schedule for week 1:<br />

You can see that these are just for fun centers. This week is for teaching students to stay at the center they have been assigned. It is for teaching them that they are not done until you say that center time is over. Time for teaching students that they must continue working the entire time. During this week I keep my center time at 10-15 minutes. Students have to build up their stamina. Each week, I will add a few more minutes to their center time until I can get them to the 20-30 minute time that I will normally have allotted. <br />
<br />
<br />
Week 2: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Week 2 I introduce my first center. This is usually an easy center like listening center. I do not teach the center whole group. I teach the center to each individual group. Before splitting into centers, we go over the rules that we learned from last week. Then I sit with the group that will be doing the literacy center. I explain how to take out the center, how to complete the center, and how to put the center away. Meanwhile, I should be able to simply monitor the other groups during this time.<br />
<br />
<br />
Week 3:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7i_H9ZpwrEv3yTia2z0jabtk3aTmm4njpfN-lPmUNLsDJ82d2aoYO5k3YfduUB79VIdtR2uaX29dW2l4Ba1RJf9mK_-qiE-thgchbiKty80S3EwHc1pE4ajng8DMyH9dAtk_uD2cr7IFF/s1600/Slide3.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="222" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7i_H9ZpwrEv3yTia2z0jabtk3aTmm4njpfN-lPmUNLsDJ82d2aoYO5k3YfduUB79VIdtR2uaX29dW2l4Ba1RJf9mK_-qiE-thgchbiKty80S3EwHc1pE4ajng8DMyH9dAtk_uD2cr7IFF/s400/Slide3.PNG" width="400" /> </a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Week 3 I introduce another center. Again, I usually try something easier such as word work. Students can use the words that we have been reviewing from the previous year (or their names if they are Kindergarten). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I review the rules and last week's center with the whole group before splitting into centers. Then, I spend about 2 minutes with the group that is doing Literacy Center 1 just to make sure they remember how to do everything. Then I travel to the new group that is learning Literacy Center 2. We, again, go over how to take out the materials for the center, how to complete the center, and how to clean up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Week 4 I introduce another center, following the same routines as before. I do a quick check in with last week's new center group and then head over to introduce the new center. By this point, students should be starting to build a stamina and an understanding for the routine.<br />
<br />
Week 5: <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

By weeks 5 and 6 you <b><u>may</u></b> be able to begin pulling students for some testing and/or running records. This really depends on your group of students, but I often find that my kids start to get the hang of it by this point. I can introduce the center and then pull a couple students for assessing. It also helps that by this point, students are pretty much up to the full 20-30 minutes that you have allotted. <br />
<br />
One other tip: I usually save my library center as one of the last centers that I introduce. I know that this may seem silly to some because it is such an easy center. My reasoning for this is that I want to get to know my students before introducing them to my books. I want to know their reading levels so that I can help them find good books. And I want them to really understand how important it is to take care of our books. Saving it for last builds up their anticipation of it and helps them to "cherish" it a little more. They realize that it is special to me and so it becomes special to them.<br />
<br />
After your fist 6 weeks, students will be ready to begin doing 2 and 3 centers a day. They will also learn how to do other centers. You can introduce more than those original 5 through mini lessons. You can also add new activities to each center that you can introduce through mini lessons. For example, in word work center, you may just begin with stamps. Then you will add in stencils and play dough later.<br />
<br />
<br />
These first 6 weeks are the time when you are training your kids. Think of it as boot camp! Show them the ropes and keep it consistent!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
First, make the centers so that they DON'T END! They need to be open
ended centers so that your students don't ever get the chance to "finish
early." One of my biggest pet peeves is when children say "I'm done!" long before I am ready for them to be done. During center time, my students are never allowed to say "I'm done." They are not done until I say they are done! <br />
<br />
One of the easiest center examples is library. Students can read a variety of books during library center. You may even have some graphic organizers for students to fill out about what they are reading.<br />
<br />
Another center I have is the sight word center. This center is stacked full of activities that students can choose from. If they finish one, they get out another. I change it out every so often with new sight words but it is a never ending center. Students can hunt for words in one of my many Spot and Jot pictures. They can create sight words from play dough. They can search for sight words in a book they have been reading. They can play sight word Tic-Tac-Toe. They can Read and Write the room. So many choices.<br />
<br />
I also have a Superkids center. We use Superkids as our "reading program" in our school. While it is not my favorite, it does have some good things about it. While this center is directed towards Superkids in my school, it could be directed toward Journeys or Harcourt or whatever you might be using. In this center, students get with a partner and partner read their choice of one of the stories from the basal (it must be a story that we have already read together as a class). Then they may choose to do a graphic organizer about the story or one of the other activities that I have. I took photos of the pictures of each story from the basal that we read. I glued them to index cards and labeled them with the name of the story on the back. Students can use these cards for sequencing, retelling, or writing (pick a picture and write what is happening in the picture). I also laminated several of the sorts that came with the series and put them in this center. These sorts were blackline masters that were supposed to just be extra worksheets for the kids. Instead, I put them in a center.<br />
<br />
Daily 5 also provides some great center ideas so that students can stay focused and working through the entire center time.<br />
They include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Read to Self (Library Center)</li>
<li>Read to Someone (Partner Reading)</li>
<li>Work on Writing (Writing Center)</li>
<li>Listen to Reading (Listening Center)</li>
<li>Word Work (Spelling, Phonics, Sight Words)</li>
</ul>
Some other centers that I used include Computer Center and Fluency center. At the computer center, students get to use the Chrome books. They LOVE RAZkids, Superkids, and Starfall. For fluency center, students have fluency folders that they can practice with a partner, sentence strips that they can practice, or fluency games that they can play. You can check out how I do fluency folders <a href="http://www.adventuresinliteracyland.com/2014/01/fluency-folders-for-little-ones.html">here</a>. I got the fluency games from The Moffatt Girls and my kiddos love them! I just laminated them so that they could be used over and over with dry erase markers.<br />
<br />
What centers are your favorite?<br />

It was quite an end to quite a year. This year had its ups and downs. It was just one of those years that you look back on and realize that it is no wonder you are this tired! My kids were very energetic but they made huge amounts of growth. They worked their little bum bums off and kept me busy. Now, I am tired. I have been out of school for two weeks now and have spent the majority of that time just relaxing on the couch and taking naps! haha<br />
<br />
At the end of the school year, my principal informed me that I will be teaching Kindergarten next year. I have not taught Kindergarten before so this will be a very new experience for me! <br />
<br />
Not gonna lie.... I have always secretly been afraid of Kindergarteners. This is the third time that she has wanted to put me in Kindergarten. I escaped it the first two times... guess I couldn't escape anymore. I used to say that I would actually prefer to teach fifth grade over Kindergarten (because I was honestly that afraid of teaching Kindergarten!!). I know that it really shouldn't be that different from teaching first grade. It should be an easy transition, right??? At least that is what I keep telling myself.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I just don't know how Kindergarten teachers do it. Those first two months or so are what scare me the most. The crying. The boogers. The bathroom accidents. The parents....oh, the parents! The noise. The inability to cut, glue, use a pencil, stand in a line, go to the bathroom on their own....to do anything! How do you survive? <br />
<br />
I am currently halfway between denial and acceptance. Some moments, I think, I can do this! I have dealt with the beginning of first grade before. They need to be retaught a lot of these things anyway. But then I am honest with myself and I think, NOPE! No way, no how! I am not going to make it. I am going to be tied up in a corner crying by the end of the first week. Maybe I will become just like that teacher on Billy Madison that eats glue...<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tell me it ain't so!!</div>
<br />
But then I try to remind myself of the joys that I will experience in Kindergarten. I will have an assistant. Maybe she can do bathroom duty?? No, I am not that mean. I won't make her suffer it alone. haha<br />
<br />
But it would be nice to have another adult in the room to talk to throughout the day. Someone to help out when I realize that I forgot that one copy or I didn't get all of the papers cut out in time. <br />
<br />
Another positive is how innocent and little they are. I love little kids. They say the cutest things and they believe EVERYTHING you tell them! ;-) I may or may not use this to my advantage....hehe We can really enjoy the holidays and play time and craft time. Everything will be brand new to them. Everything is a new adventure. <br />
<br />
I love to teach reading. While I do really love to teach children how to read for the first time, there is this notion that all reading teachers should teach Kindergarten. I love teaching all aspects of reading. But this will be a fun adventure for me.<br />
<br />
I am looking forward to learning something new. As you know, I love to create and I already have my mind whirling with new ideas of activities, centers, lessons, etc. I am gaining some excitement about the IDEA of teaching Kindergarten. <br />
<br />
Maybe I can be more like Miss Honey instead:<br />

<br />
So often, we as teachers feel unappreciated. We feel disrespected. We feel as though we are treated as unprofessionals. It is time to stand up together and be heard! It is time to show that we are professionals and we deserve the best! <br />
<br />
This week, let's have a huge celebration! Each day, I plan to hold a different mini celebration. You will have to check back each day to see what my surprise will be!!<br />
<br />
Today we will kick it off with some dollar deals! Each of these items are on sale for only $1 all day today!!<br />

Today I am going to share with you a very simple organization tip for your centers.<br />
<br />
Since I prefer to have students come back together in between each center, I need my centers to be easy to get in and out. If you missed last week's post about how I schedule this, be sure to <a href="http://www.hangingoutinfirst.blogspot.com/2015/04/guided-reading-series-centers-and.html">check it out!</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.hangingoutinfirst.blogspot.com/2015/04/guided-reading-series-centers-and.html"><img alt="http://www.hangingoutinfirst.blogspot.com/2015/04/guided-reading-series-centers-and.html" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLXo0foPSg9GAj5ugyfxwwBeQIihNsso-VpKWRxTNkq9oTTEzAaUjHvYnQ71KFqDgdeP6VnF_ZuOK2Q2tBV7znFO4JGzJehUc_lA35rZZhKtkAE45sYlUdkkyzayjuzkKoCT_X41DNUIRP/s1600/center6.png" height="179" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I keep each center in a basket or a large plastic envelope. This way one student from each group can go to the bookcase, pick it up, and take it to their designated "spot" in the room. Students can work on the center and then return everything to the basket or envelope. Once done, the student returns it the shelf in it's proper spot. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cvJrikfxjooeMJajgkX5dxRZtf40IqFK61wIwo9DDMsbktTdfd1iC-wh6sfjbimOsnLm9YEWsX4nvxFUgzIFg2RH1xolzkSWvPU-4aErLBN57rm7eMv0d3LL54R0u8pPAJ_Yr5eO4h63/s1600/20150427_154628_Android.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2cvJrikfxjooeMJajgkX5dxRZtf40IqFK61wIwo9DDMsbktTdfd1iC-wh6sfjbimOsnLm9YEWsX4nvxFUgzIFg2RH1xolzkSWvPU-4aErLBN57rm7eMv0d3LL54R0u8pPAJ_Yr5eO4h63/s1600/20150427_154628_Android.jpg" height="320" width="180" /></a></div>
<br />
You can see my shelf doesn't always look neat, but believe it or not it stays pretty organized! <br />
<ul>
<li>The kids have everything that they need for each center in the basket. </li>
<li>I don't have to keep centers all around the room...they all stay in one place.</li>
<li>My carpet/center spaces can be used for other activities throughout the day since they stay clear of reading center materials!</li>
</ul>

One of the most common questions that I get about guided reading groups, is how do you manage the other kids while you are working with a group?</div>

Then, I say "centers" and they say "Well, duh! But how???"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I must say that I used to DESPISE center time. And it was for all of the same reasons as you. It was so much to manage. So much to organize. What about the kids that are not independent learners yet? How do you get them to actually DO the centers and not just goof around the entire time? What about accountability? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now, this is not a fool proof answer. You are still going to have those "moments." Those moments when you want to pull your hair out and just give up because nothing is going well. You will still have that kid...you know the one. The one that refuses to do anything you say merely because he can. That kid that looks directly at you while simultaneously dumping out all of your so neatly organized center tubs. Yes, it is inevitable. It will happen. But my goal today is to merely give you some ideas for making these moments fewer and further between.</div>

<div>
The first step to centers is organizing a schedule. This is a two part step: rotation schedule and group schedule. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit-0KZgoxta_VgVqK9qC_gHGYtkkWcmw_KnHOFhHdBD6fXjkzVY9ckYv265XNTj9Ee7kK9Mcn7-bamRQoYkltNOV62eK0xj0LFFQ2L9PpHSfCxWxtcvt3yxkEOEPFke9ExPX3ShR4bM_aj/s1600/center.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit-0KZgoxta_VgVqK9qC_gHGYtkkWcmw_KnHOFhHdBD6fXjkzVY9ckYv265XNTj9Ee7kK9Mcn7-bamRQoYkltNOV62eK0xj0LFFQ2L9PpHSfCxWxtcvt3yxkEOEPFke9ExPX3ShR4bM_aj/s1600/center.png" height="28" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For rotation schedules, I used to have students rotate with the kids in their reading group. So what happened? My highest kids were bored, finished early, and then began loud conversations. My lowest kids had no idea how to complete the task and ended up playing in the materials or having wrestling matches on the floor. This was not working.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This year, I went with heterogeneous groups. I have my students sitting in groups throughout the day anyway, so when arranging desks I take into consideration the levels of my students as well as how they get along. This becomes their center group. They work with this group during each center and then I pull students to my table from there. So each group, or "table" as I call them, may have one member coming to my table for instruction at any given time.<br />
<br />
You can see in this picture my table groupings. This is an older picture. There are now signs above each group saying what table number they are. They work with these groups for center time and then I pull the kids that I need for my small group! </div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZZHnZ_0h9C9xxtoAfgb20HNwSuycNkbQzCJI93C4c-kiA1nFxo5OsV9y34tOAA6UXodEvy28v_OQedhD3Y2CBJVs4GNCa0SimcT1sDjK8PMOtzeEbiFfW29WbwSPnRy1Djj4tkUdv4uV/s1600/center5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifZZHnZ_0h9C9xxtoAfgb20HNwSuycNkbQzCJI93C4c-kiA1nFxo5OsV9y34tOAA6UXodEvy28v_OQedhD3Y2CBJVs4GNCa0SimcT1sDjK8PMOtzeEbiFfW29WbwSPnRy1Djj4tkUdv4uV/s1600/center5.png" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
How does this help? Now I have a mix of levels that can help one another with the task. My higher students can explain how to do the center or remind students of what to do, if necessary. They work so much better together this way. It is by far one of the BEST things I have ever done with my groups!<br />
<br />
Here is a snapshot of my center rotation schedule:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<br />
You can see that the numbers represent my tables (Table 1, Table 2, etc). In the afternoons, several students are pulled for reading remediation. Therefore, I do not have as many students in my class for that third small group time. This means that I only do one center during that time, since there is a much smaller group. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3uK3YRdWVFYj26aQN8a70MYhPULy2j0XmDgbom5PI0-lXFWjbP4lzNY91UdjDebdlFwv0exakBVs3J3e_NDfX9I60rp-2iB-CxonnXA5w-tImJ6Kf1U66OlMQmCvcWfDLty21IPfIs5G7/s1600/center2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3uK3YRdWVFYj26aQN8a70MYhPULy2j0XmDgbom5PI0-lXFWjbP4lzNY91UdjDebdlFwv0exakBVs3J3e_NDfX9I60rp-2iB-CxonnXA5w-tImJ6Kf1U66OlMQmCvcWfDLty21IPfIs5G7/s1600/center2.png" height="29" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
The second part is setting up your actual schedule for center time. For this, I used to have students go from one center to the next center to the next. You know what happened? About halfway through the second set of centers, my kids lost focus. They were no longer interested. They were tired. They stopped working and started playing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So how to fix it? This year I began breaking up my whole group reading lesson into chunks. We are required to do Superkids at my school (this is our basal reading program). So rather than doing an hour of Superkids and then an hour of centers/groups, I started alternating. I now do about 30 minutes of Superkids, followed by a center/group. Then I do 20-30 more minutes of Superkids followed by another center/group. Then we have our lunch break and come back for my last center/group time. If I didn't already have that lunch break built in, I would put a group before Superkids instead (group, Superkids, group, Superkids, group). </div>
<div>
<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
How does this help? It gives students a break. Students cannot focus on instruction for an hour at a time. They need breaks in between so they don't lose that focus. This helps because after one center, I can pull them back together with me to do an activity before sending them out to centers again. This also means that I can go over the rules/expectations again before each center if necessary. It helps students to refocus each time!</div>
<div>
<br />
Here is my weekly schedule so that you can see how many groups I have and how many times I meet with each group. Each group has a different color for its name and I spend Monday afternoons progress monitoring and assessing.<br />

Doing these two things will make a huge difference in your guided reading time. If you don't take anything else way from this guided reading series, it should be that!</div>
<div>

<div>
Other organizational tips have to do with the center materials themselves. Those will come in next week's post for part 2! </div>

These are a number one necessity to have handy. I have enough for each of my students to have one as well as myself. We use these to practice writing letters, words, sentences, dictation, encoding for sounds, vocabulary, sight words, character traits, etc. You name it!<br />

On a side note, I generally only allow students to use pointers when they are in the early stages of reading. Once they become more transitional/fluent readers, they should no longer need pointers to help them track. Then we switch to index cards to build fluency. More on that later....<br />

Ready to go for guided writing! For emergent readers, practice letter formation and student names. For early readers, practice encoding for sounds, CVC words, sight words, dictation, and open ended sentences. For transition and fluency readers, begin composing sentences on their own. It can be a story or a reflection of their reading. Have them write the problem and solution. Or the beginning, middle, and end.<br />
<br />

These are a ton of fun. I use these for students to hunt for words within their books. They can hunt for a particular sight word, a word with a phonetic sound you are working on, a vocabulary word, etc. You can pick up the cut outs for <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Word-and-Number-Finders-328400">free in my store! </a><br />

I use these in so many ways and my kids LOVE when I put a highlighter in their hands! For my lower kids, it is a great way to do a sight word hunt or a hunt for a phonetic sound. For my higher kids, we will use these to hunt for evidence of a comprehension question. We also use them to highlight punctuation when working on fluency.<br />

Some of my best interventions for low readers involve building words with letter tiles, letter cards, and letter cubes. These are great for decoding words, encoding words, building sight words, and word ladders.<br />

I like to incorporate some Words Their Way into my guided reading lessons, as often times, the spelling skills that we are required to do with our reading program is not on the level that my students need. I have learned that the easiest way to do this is to have several sets of sorts ready to go. I copy them, cut them, and paper clip them so that we don't waste any time getting materials prepared during our lesson. Then I gather them up to save for future use with another group! It takes time to put them all together and prepare, but save SO much time in the end!<br />
<br />
Plus, I don't just limit myself to Words Their Way sorts. We also do concept sorts, picture sorts, grammar sorts, rhyming matching cards, etc.<br />

Every guided reading teacher needs to have a guided reading toolkit. This is a basket, bin, drawer, or some other cutie patootie storage device in which you keep all things guided reading.<br />
<br />
In my room, I have two sets of drawers. I bought one bin that had 2 little drawers and 2 big ones. And I bought one bin that had 3 big drawers. Then I took them apart and rearranged them. Now they look like this:<br />

In the two small drawers, I keep my guided reading necessities. These include dry erase boards, markers, and erasers, index cards, pointers, sharpies, highlighters, crayons, stamps, stickers, word finders, picture and word sorts, and more!<br />

There are two big drawers under each of the smaller drawers. Each of my
bigger drawers is for a group that I meet with. (My two highest groups
share a drawer since I have 5 total groups. They tend to need the
fewest materials.)</div>

I am so excited about it and my kids love it.<br />
<br />
I won't even attempt to take credit for it because I saw it on Pinterest....or a blog, maybe.....I don't even remember where. But once I saw it, I knew I had to have it.<br />
<br />
All you need are some clear stones from Dollar Tree, some Modge Podge, and your list of sight words.<br />

To create your stones, simply cut out your words, match them to a stone that fits, and modge podge the words to the flat side of the stone.<br />

Today we are celebrating our bloggy birthday over at Literacy Land! One year ago, several reading bloggers joined together to create the ultimate reading blog. We called it....Adventures in Literacy Land!<br />

Today we are celebrating our first birthday AND we are welcoming some new members to our literacy team. It is quite a celebration!<br />
<br />
Be sure to hop through each of our blogs, pick up some freebies and great literacy strategies, and then enter the rafflecopter on the last stop to win one of our Barnes and Noble gift cards!<br />
<br />
Today I am sharing with you a brand new product! This is on my list to begin a whole new series with.<br />
<br />
Last year I created a whole series of Spot and Jot pictures for sight words. These are similar to the I Spy activities out there, except that they have many options for recording and building the words that the students find. You can find the winter ones here!<br />

Today I am sharing a new spin-off! This one is called Spot and Color! Students use magnifying glasses to "spot" the words and then color them according to the color code! I think students will love this activity. It will be a great way to get students looking at those sight words over and over again.<br />

Thank you so much for joining us for a "gift" of reading! I love to teach reading and it truly is a gift. It is a gift to be given the opportunity to watch children grow into independent readers and learn to love books! I am blessed with 22 children each year that I get to share this love with.<br />
<br />
This year, I wanted to share with you one of my newest sets from a new series that I am starting. It is not a seasonal product, but one that you may be able to use throughout the school year for those beginning readers. It is one of my Concept of Word Nursery Rhyme sets. So far I have 4 sets done: Baa Baa Black Sheep, Hickory Dickory Dock, Humpty Dumpty, and Hey Diddle Diddle. Plus I have more coming!<br />

Concept of word is such an important skill for beginning readers. It is the ability to have one to one correspondence while reading. This means that students need to know the difference between a word, a letter, and a sentence. They need to understand that there are spaces in between their words. They must be able to say one word for each word that is on the page.<br />
<br />
At the moment, I have students that will read the sentence "I can ride." as "I can ride my bike at the park." These students do not have concept of word. They are reading the pictures rather than looking at the words. We practice counting the number of words on the page and counting the number of words that we read. This helps us to be more aware of the words on the page.<br />
<br />
These concept of word packs have many activities to help you teach this skill to your students. I hope you find it as helpful as I do! Each of the full sets are on sale this weekend only. Hope you check them out! <br />

This weekend I am joining a fabulous group of teachers all from VIRGINIA! Yay! We are gathering together to share a bunch of great freebies for you this weekend.<br />
<br />
Every year I "forget" just how "low" my kids are at the beginning of the year. It is so easy to forget how much they have learned and how much they have grown throughout the school year! Each year I have to remind myself how to start at the beginning and go back to the basics of reading.<br />
<br />
So right now, I am focusing on the basics. I am working with my kids on letter sounds, print basics, concept of word, simple sentences, sight words, CVC decoding, rhyming, phonemic awareness, etc. <br />
<br />
My freebie for you today is part of a new series that I am starting on concept of word. I want to be able to really put focus on this skill with my students using nursery rhymes (which is a great review for rhyming and phonemic awareness too!). Concept of word is the ability for students to match spoken words to print. It is tracking with one to one correspondence. In order for a student to do this, they must understand print basics such as where to start in the text, the difference between a letter and a word, and that there are spaces in between words.<br />
<br />
So far I have completed two units: Baa Baa Black Sheep and Hickory Dickory Dock. Each unit includes a full page teacher book, a small student book, picture sequence cards, sentence strips, books for adding word markers, a small one page nursery rhyme for fluency, 3 different pages with missing words for cut and paste, word identification cards, and a word identification list in both color and black and white! <br />
<br />
