Instagram post 2186037092923361617_364082515 It’s Thanksgiving Break! It was feast day at school and I got to talk to my students about their Thanksgiving plans. I love to hear about their traditions- where they’ll go for dinner and what foods they’ll eat. It’s fun to hear the different foods that always make an appearance at their dinners- hot dogs, jello salad that no one likes but eats to not hurt feelings!! 😳🤣😂 #teacherslife #thanksgivingbreak #teachers #teaching #iteachk #iteachtoo #iteach #teacherproblems #primaryteacher #classroom #elementaryteacher #elementaryschool #iteachfirst #iteachsecond #iteachthird
Instagram post 2185312947847757547_364082515 When teaching different comprehension strategies, you can help students focus on that strategy by using miniature charts that match the wall posters. Students glue them into their reading notebooks as they jot down their thoughts about the story. You can get this F R  E  E through tonight only. Find it in my profile.

Instagram post 2180238087161143298_364082515 What a fun book with a good message at the end! I use words from our books for our phonics skills that students are ready for. You can cover a lot in this book. One is inflections and endings. List them out on paper so you won’t be scrambling to find them during your lesson.

Then they can write their name on the post it and stick it to the part they did while reading. Holds them accountable while reading!
