    Last Week Five For Friday!

    Linking up with Kacey today for….

    Well… as most of you know, this was my last week! We had a really GREAT last week. Check it out!

    I have a painted ceiling tile from all of my classes starting 5 years ago… so I had to do one with this class too! Since my kids have been so service-oriented and helpful to each other this year, I decided to do “Ms. Ivey’s Helping Hands.” 🙂 It was really simple to do, and the kiddos really enjoyed seeing it in the ceiling!

    For the last six years, I’ve done Candy Bar Awards on the Student Awards Day. This year, honestly, I ran out of time, and since I’m at a new school, they knew nothing about my tradition… so I had them design their own awards for each other! Most were expected: best friends awards, best soccer player awards, funniest person awards… but there was one that just got me. A student in my class, who has autism, sometimes has a hard time academically and socially. My class, thankfully, is always super tolerant of him and his little quirks. Well, one of my students made an award for him. It was the “Nothing Lets You Down Award.” It was all I could do to not OVER-react at how kind and thoughtful it was! I was worried he wouldn’t get an award, honestly, so I was so glad that his award was so special.

     4th grade students are NOT too old to clean the desks with shaving cream!!!!! Enough said. 😉

    I made my end of the year pinspired gifts for my kids and they turned out so cute!!

    Krazy Straw, pack of Kool Aid, and a Colorful Lei!

    All of the students had different colored highlighters because of the multi-pack I bought! 🙂

    We had our end of the year party on the last day of school. We had an overabundance of food, and lots of fun games. I did some Minute-To-Win-It style games and they had a blast! Check out this website for some good ideas for MTWI games for kids!

    Happy Friday, Happy Weekend! 🙂

    Have you ever wondered what a book looks like after I finish using it to create a mentor sentence unit? 🙈 I just completed the six-week mini-unit for A Rover's Story, which is this year's Global Read Aloud for Middle Grades/Upper Elementary! #gra23Will you be participating with your class? It all kicks off on October 2nd. 🤓In this book, Resilience, or Res for short, is a Mars rover who is determined to live up to his name. 🤖 He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him, he begins to develop humanlike feelings. I never thought I could feel so much for a robot. I might have even shed a few tears at the end...! 😅 #graroverYou can grab this brand new mentor sentence unit for A Rover's Story with six lessons that follow right along with the reading schedule for Global Read Aloud 💲ON SALE💲 for 48 hours! 🤗 www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/A-Rovers-Story-Global-Read-Aloud-Mentor-Sentences-Interactive... ...

    📓Do your students struggle to understand a voca 📓Do your students struggle to understand a vocabulary word that has multiple meanings? 

This is why teaching vocabulary in context is SO important! 🤓

If your students are just "looking up a list," how many of your students pick the first definition and write it down, then move on to the next word? 📝

Or better yet… raise your hand if you have one of *those* students who finds the SHORTEST definition of the word to write! 🙋‍♀️

💡Come check out the post at the link in my profile (@ideasbyjivey) where I share some research-based tips for teaching vocabulary.
