Amazing Resources, Part 3

Here are a few more Amazing Resources!!  If you know of others, please share with the rest of us...  :)

Your Next Read  - Super cool way to find new books.  Type in a title or type of book (or click on the images on the front page) and get a web of suggested titles.  They provide the book blurb from Amazon, too, so you can learn more about it.  I have a few students who I'll be using this with to help them "widen" their book interests!  Here is a web it created for my fav Elephant and Piggie book.  :) 
http://www.wrsd.net/literacy/launch.cfm  Lessons, sample pacing guides, and resources to launch Reader's Workshop and Writer's Workshop.  Aligns nicely with Daily 5 and CCSS.

    Our Math interventionist showed us those Math Problem of the Day pages. I saw that you can download them as a PowerPoint. I am going to print the slides as "Handouts" where there are 3 slides per page with lines beside it where the kids can work out the problems. Then, I'll three-hole punch it and put it in their Calendar Folders that we fill out during Calendar Time. :)

With that in mind, it is crucial to give families the tools they need to help this child, as well as other children in the household. {Here's a link to an article from The Atlantic:  How Family Game Night Makes Kids Into Better Students } I love to invite families to school for Literacy Night. I've helped organize, prepare, and lead Literacy Nights at least 8 times over the course of my teaching career, and I plan to continue this for years to come. Here are my tips for an easy and successful Literacy Night in Upper Elementary classrooms.
