Volume 2 ELA Interactive Notebooks (companions to Volume 2 mentor sentences) are now updated!
www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Language-Arts-Notebook-Vol-2-Bundle-Grades-3-5-Fo...

If you own them, make sure to re-download from wherever you purchased - whether it's on TPT, if you purchased through the course, or in the shop on my website.

These interactive notebooks have taken a lot longer to update as every activity has had to be completely remade to work digitally. Thank you for your patience!

In case you missed the last announcement, Volume 1 ELA Interactive Notebooks (companions to Volume 1 mentor sentences) have also been updated, and Volume 3 ELA Interactive Notebooks (companions to Volume 3 mentor sentences) will be done by the end of the week! (Just the Basics will also get updated at the end of the week once Volume 3 is completed.)

As most of you know by now, I am pregnant and our baby girl could come any day. If for some reason Volume 3 doesn't get updated this week, that would be the likely reason why. 😉

I will be taking some time away from creation when she is born, so at this point (other than what I've listed above), I've updated as much as I can for you to be digital, and that will be all that happens for a while. I appreciate your understanding!

If you aren't sure if something you own has been updated, before asking in a Q&A, since my replies will likely be delayed, my best advice for you is to RE-DOWNLOAD and then check the table of contents of the new files!! 😘 ... See MoreSee Less

Teach students to practice inferring with this mentor text lesson using the mentor text The Stranger by Chris Van Allsburg.
Do you need activities to teach 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 help my students understand this language arts lesson. Great ideas for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade ELA and literacy lessons.
Check out 20 of my favorite books to read aloud in November, all about Thanksgiving, turkeys, being thankful, and family.
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
Mentor texts should serve many purposes in the classroom. This guide with a free download will help you teach many skills and subjects with just one book! #mentortexts #teacher #minilessons
How to Rock Parent-Teacher Conferences!
Higher order thinking questions should also be used in grammar instruction. Download this free higher order thinking questions poster to guide you in transforming your classroom conversations!
Teach kids empathy and compassion through mindful, fun lessons, discussions, and social skills activities that build social awareness and community in the primary classroom (kindergarten, first, second, and third grade). Kids will learn what it means to be in someone else's shoes with the activity connected to the social-emotional learning children's book suggestions. Grab the free wrinkled heart activity and heart printable for your classroom lesson plans.
Paired texts and passages are great for providing students with more rigorous, complex texts for them to compare and build knowledge and draw conclusions. These differentiated passages are perfect for 2nd and 3rd grade students! Click the pin to see some of the texts included!

Our sweet baby girl, Charlotte Adalyn, finally mad

Our sweet baby girl, Charlotte Adalyn, finally made her debut September 1! She is perfect, and we are so in love. After a total of 50 days in the hospital, we are so glad to be home now and getting settled as a family. Thanks so much for all the love! 💜

These days, I’m not allowed to go anywhere except to my doctor appointments, but I wear a mask to protect not just myself and my unborn baby, but to protect others and their families, too. #teachergrammasks

An update on life- I’ve gotten some DMs because

An update on life- I’ve gotten some DMs because I haven’t posted anything since early July about ending up in the hospital. 💜 I’m so sorry! Instagram is always the first platform to go when my plate gets too full.

Short version: we were in the hospital on bedrest for 4 weeks, and sent home for continued bedrest. Barring labor doesn’t come sooner, she will be delivered via c-section at 38 weeks, September 1st!

Long detailed version: I was admitted to the hospital for being dilated AND almost fully effaced at 28 weeks. No actual labor had begun though, so I was diagnosed with an incompetent cervix (who names this stuff??? Let’s not forget I am also “geriatric” 🙄). Being in the hospital on bedrest is mentally draining... being ISOLATED in the hospital on bedrest due to the pandemic (luckily my husband was able to come stay with me at night when he got off work, but no other visitors allowed) was VERY mentally and emotionally draining. Most days, I cried and slept the day away, despite the amazing friends and family who reached out constantly to check on me and showered me with food and gifts. Everyone told me to keep busy- but between the deafening quiet, the white walls, the uncomfortable bed, and the nurses checking on me... it was impossible to focus on much of anything.

I was so thankful that after 4 weeks of no physical changes, they released me early to go home for more bedrest. My head and heart needed it more than I can explain. I’ve been home two weeks now and even though I still can’t DO anything (no nesting!!!!), I am in a much better headspace. After another ultrasound last week, it was determined that the umbilical cord vessels actually run through the membrane of her sac to reach the placenta which can be dangerous to her during labor and birth (called velamentous cord insertion), so we have a scheduled c-section for September 1st. This next month, I’ll be chained to my laptop (because it’s about all I can do anyway, haha) to work on that product creation to-do list before this precious baby girl gets here, and then life really will be ALL about her! 💜

There’s a good reason I fell off the map for a hot minute in the last two weeks... a 28 week ultrasound showed signs of preterm labor so I’ve been ordered to hospital bed rest for a month. I got meds for me and her and it helped - hoping everything stays stable and quiet (so far so good) and I’ll be able to go home for bed rest until week 35. 10 days down. 20 more to go here at the hospital. Keep baking, baby girl!!
