    Visual Plans for the Week of December 8

    December 7, 2014

    I really enjoy making visual plans, it just takes a while to do them this way… for this reason, I haven’t posted any since October! But here they are for this coming week… click here or either of the images to download the PDF with all of the clickable links! There are quite a few freebies in this week’s plans!

    Yes, this week is the week of the dreaded interims… my students will be tested out by the end of the week! We have four district assessments (interims) and they also will have their End of Unit Colonies Test!

    We have been reading The Sign of the Beaver for the last couple of weeks. This is one of my favorites to read with the kids, and they love it, too!

    With Ideas by Jivey

    I was able to get a class set of the books through Donors Choose a couple of years ago. We read each chapter together and then they work on the activities from my Novel Unit with their partners. I love having a class set because they all go back and find evidence to prove their thinking! It’s GREAT!!

    We are using the book, The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree, for the mentor sentence and writing mentor text this week. It is a mentor sentence freebie in my store! It actually happened after World War I, so it’s not a colonial Christmas story, but it still lends itself to our historical fiction writing unit, as well as being a sweet seasonal story.

    I hope you all have a great week this week! :o)

    The Sunday Scoop & Visual Plans!

    October 12, 2014

    I’m linking up with Teaching Trio today for the Sunday Scoop,

    and I made my first ever VISUAL PLANS!

    I’m sharing about this week in my scoop, instead of just today! ๐Ÿ™‚ Monday, we have a teacher work day (students are off) for some professional development and to get things in order for the start of the next quarter. It’s going to be a busy Monday, and a busy week!

    And yes, that’s right, I made visual plans for this week! I never have before, and I actually really liked doing it because it helped me realize what I still need to print and prepare! ๐Ÿ˜› You can click here or on either image below and it will take you to Dropbox where you can download the plans… then, click on any of the thumbnails and it will take you to the product!

    ๐ŸŒž Groundhog Gets A Say is a fun book for kids o ๐ŸŒž Groundhog Gets A Say is a fun book for kids of any age, but I especially liked to use this #mentortext to tie in some research skills and #opinionwriting!

The book is written as a narrative, but is filled with facts about groundhogs as the main character tries to convince everyone that he deserves more than just ONE day of recognition.

The unit I made for this book includes printables for text features, note-taking from text, fact and opinion, main idea and details, context clues, a writing brainstorm organizer, plus a #mentorsentence lesson for relative pronouns and contextual vocabulary activities!
