I've been in doodle heaven lately and loving it! Below are my newest doodle products. I hope you like them.

Round and Round We Go!

Nifty doodle frames in 7 vibrant colors! Each frame comes with and without a white center. 14 large png frames in all. 300dpi

I really like that these frames don't use up much ink but will certainly will make  printables "POP". They look fabulous on the computer too. Add your own papers to customize.
CU OK!

Grouping for Success

This year has been challenging for me on many levels, but mostly due to the 35 4th graders that I have.  I'm constantly looking for ways to meet the needs of all my students, in addition to giving them a feeling of success.  What works one day, doesn't always the next.  This student grouping chart has been a beneficial for me.  It allows me the opportunity to use flexible groupings, take notes, and make changes as needed on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis.  Check out my blog for more reading about how I use it in math and a couple of free websites that I love!

Be a Super Teacher for Halloween

I can't wait to break out my Halloween playlist tomorrow!

If you're as excited as I am for Halloween, but are still debating on the perfect cheap-o costume, hop on over and check out my blog post featuring my newest Super Teacher, Principal, Janitor, Assistant and Student iron-on patterns.  There are a few Super Teacher iron-on freebies too!

If I don't have any amazing costume epiphanies, I just might be making myself a new Super Teacher t-shirt and rummaging through some boxes to find that awesome blue belt.  I hope my hubby didn't toss it in an organizational frenzy.  :)

Enjoy!

NonFiction Find It, Check It!

Are you looking for a nonfiction check list for your students that can be used with any nonfiction text? The “Find it, Check it” pages in my packet have nonfiction feature lists, kids can use when they read nonfiction. These lists are invaluable and help kids understand what they should be looking for when they read articles, text books, or nonfiction books. 

A graphic organizer is also included that helps kids determine the topic, subtopic and details of nonfiction. You'll love the kid friendly animal websites that also can be used with a model lesson about animals or as a review of nonfiction facts. 

An article about the Giant Panda requires kids to fill out an outline with words and phrases that are in a word box on the worksheet.

Self-Monitoring

Does it look right?

Does it sound right?

Does it make sense?

Those questions are key to self-monitoring while reading.  I think it is essential to teach students to self-monitor and it's something I've taught every group of struggling readers I've worked with.  It is only learned with continue practice and reinforcement and seems to be a big issue for many of the kiddos I've worked with that struggle with comprehension.  But, we keep working on it and they get better.

I created these posters to be a reference for students throughout the year.  Click on the images above to come check them out and see how I use them.
