My Kiddos Crack Me Up :)

My green beans have really been making me laugh lately...

Kiddo (with an apprehensive look): "What is Gooey Dance?"
Me: "I don't know.  What is Gooey Dance?"
Kiddo: "Mrs. Sykes, it says on the schedule we have Gooey Dance tomorrow.  I don't know how to Gooey Dance."
Me: "We are having a Guidance lesson tomorrow.  No worries!"  :)

Kiddo #1: "Do you know who you're going to vote for?"
Kiddo #2: "My dad said I should vote for Omaha {{Obama}}, but I don't know yet."
Kiddo #1: "You need to vote for Omaha if your dad says to.  He's probably right."
Kiddo #2: "I know, but the other guy is named Mitten.  That would be pretty cool."


Hope all's well with all of y'all, and the folks impacted from Hurricane Sandy can begin returning to a bit of normalcy soon - know that you're in our nation's thoughts.

    One of my kiddos at snack, during a discussion on who their parents were going to vote for:

    "My parents are going to vote for Romney or for Obama, or maybe for someone else. I would vote for both, definitely both."

Make and Take Literacy Night = Fun Parent Involvement

The ultimate goal of literacy is to help students become life-long readers, so they can be educated citizens. The child's first and most influential teacher is their parent and/or guardian. 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. Make and Take for Literacy Night, grades 3-5 At a recent Literacy Night at my school, the parents met in the gym to see a quick presentation about state testing.

Happy Bloggiversary to Me

Tomorrow, July 4th is my one year bloggiversary, one year since my first post.  ( printables from Fountas and Pinnell - still an incredibly popular post!)  A year, already?!?  O-mi-gosh!   I started this blog hoping that it would help me have an online place to organize resources.  Over the past year, this little blog has benefited me tremendously, in ways I did not anticipate: My hubby loves that I have a place to rant pleasantly discuss the ins and outs of classroom teaching; I've made so many new bloggy buddies {I'm hoping to meet more of you in person at meet-ups!}; I've become more technologically savvy  capable of following the directions I continually Google about how to disable/enable different blog features; I took the plunge and opened my online stores, helping bring a bit of needed income into our home; I feel like I'm contributing to the self-paced professional development of others, by sharing some of my Literacy resources.  {This is what I miss mos
