Join me live again TONIGHT, November 13, at 8 PM EST, where I'll explain and demonstrate EVERYTHING about day four. This one is all about application!

The focus of the day’s routine is to write a sentence similar to the original, keeping the style and structure the same, and especially to use the focus skill (adjectives).

Let's talk DAY TWO!

We will be talking about why the discussion around how words function matters, and why it shouldn't just be "all about the labels." We'll also talk about how to incorporate the focus skill (using adjectives) into the students' writing.

How are you teaching about cause and effect in your upper elementary classroom? In fourth and fifth grade I use a number of different strategies (hands-on lessons, anchor charts, picture books, and more!) to make sure that my students grasp this important concept. Take a look! #upperelementary #anchorchart #causeandeffect
Use the mentor text, The Day You Begin by Jacqueline Woodson to teach figurative language, mood, modifiers, and celebrating our differences with a week of detailed explicit lessons, including teacher samples, mentor sentence lesson teaching modifiers (adjectives and adverbs), reading and writing lessons incorporating mood and figurative language, integration of social/emotional skills to celebrate our differences, printables for skill practice, and short assessments. #mentortexts
Mentor sentences are the perfect way to teach grammar and author's craft through examples of excellent sentences from your favorite read-aloud books! This mini-unit is just what you need to implement mentor sentences in your classroom with the novel, Number the Stars. Each of the lessons includes the teacher sentence page, the student sentence page, a lesson plan page with possibilities for all 4 days, an interactive activity for the focus skill, and a quiz with answer key. #mentortexts #mentors
Move students away from a story "list" and help them enjoy writing about specific memories using the mentor text, If You Find a Rock!
Use these differentiated paired passages with your students to integrate high-interest, engaging informational passages! There are two passages about bats so that they can compare megabats to microbats. There are also two passages about owls - one about how they hunt and eat, and another about their life cycle. Lastly, use the poem, "The Spider and The Fly" along with an informational passage about the good and bad of spiders. #pairedtexts #readingactivities #fourthgrade #fifthgrade #sixthgrade

I had a conference in Orlando so we decided to make it a quick trip to Disney, too! Had to make the hubby take a picture of me with the Ticonderoga pencil in Toy Story Land... only teachers understand. 🤣 ✏️ #ideasbyjivey #teachersfollowteachers
