Some info. about this picture: the students read the sight words as a warm up, then they read out of their decodable reader, then they wrote sentences with sight words/phonics skills we were working on for the week.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7FX4umfx4Qyvj61k9k6UGBQNQYi7wc8EffyRm_lATyifm9s12bbgzzpjL-TMK5WOiOlIDJUhLoGH0KPlvlMjkKQstedNIJS-X-iT_M78SlwpDi199tlf9lOH6qzJPbRY_rL6A2ITU7HCq/s3062/fullsizeoutput_32a.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1027" data-original-width="3062" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7FX4umfx4Qyvj61k9k6UGBQNQYi7wc8EffyRm_lATyifm9s12bbgzzpjL-TMK5WOiOlIDJUhLoGH0KPlvlMjkKQstedNIJS-X-iT_M78SlwpDi199tlf9lOH6qzJPbRY_rL6A2ITU7HCq/s320/fullsizeoutput_32a.jpeg" width="320" /></a></div><p><br /></p><p>(FYI, before using the rapid response sheets, I would have already introduced the words on Monday on the smart board, mapping out each word.)</p><p style="text-align: center;">I hope you find the resource useful for you and your students.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Happy Teaching Friends!</p>Dawn Hilburnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16686144524095196231noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617375499049412472.post-9343321021816838022021-04-30T05:50:00.000-07:002021-04-30T05:50:03.169-07:00Sight Word: Because (or is it a sight word??)<p> We are about to start our opinion writing and I wanted to make sure everyone in the class can spell the word "because" since we will be using it often.</p><p>"Because" is not what I consider a sight word since it can be spelled phonetically.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This activity was simple and we got it done in about 45 minutes from start to finish (including a little mini lesson on rhythm in poetry).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I provided a link at the end where you can grab this.</div>

I know it's been awhile since I posted anything here and there is a reason. This school year, I moved to a new town and a new school. I now teach first grade at Woodland Heights Elementary in Brownwood, Tx. I have been busy adjusting to a new house, new school, and making supplemental activities for the new Into Reading HMH adoption. I have been saving some things that I have been doing with my class (my camera roll on my phone is FULL) to share with you when I get a chance and that is what I am here to do today.<br />
<br />
This past week, we were learning about Texas Symbols and I needed to get in some nonfiction writing so I combined the two.<br />
Here is a finished product from one of my firsties:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
We completed these in one week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Monday, I went over the nonfiction features we would put in our book. These were: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Title Page, Table of Contents and a "fun fact" that needed to be included on at least one symbol.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used two nonfiction books that had these features and we went over them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Tuesday, we read about Texas symbols. I used a PowerPoint I purchased on TpT by Cheryl Martin. If you are interested in the one I used, you can check it out <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Symbols-of-Texas-slide-show-and-booklet-1766591">HERE.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then, I had the students fold a piece of white paper into fourths and draw 4 symbols they wanted to write about. (To save time, as they were working, I went around and spelled/wrote the name of their symbol for them) Here are a few samples of our prewriting:</div>

It is a chapter from the book "Poppleton Forever."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

How did I get my firsties excited about this little writing activity? I passed out brand new, freshly sharpened Christmas pencils and threw up a crackling fireplace on the smart board that I found on YouTube and they went right to work. They even asked if we could do it again. That's a WIN in my book!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I found these bubble wands for a whopping $ .30 at Michael's. I decided to give them as birthday gifts to my students this year. Feel free to grab the tags I made if you need to use them. You should be able to edit them with your name. Just click on the bottom picture above to get the link.</span></div>

Awhile back we covered comparing numbers with greater than, less than. Here is a video of one of my students working on comparing 28 and 27.</div>

I made mats for my students to practice this concept on. I am really pleased with the on task behavior. 100% y'all! We worked on greater than one day and less than the next day. I slide the mats into dry erase pockets and students use dry erase markers to work out the problem. My class size is 22 and I have enough dry erase pockets for whole group and then extra at my small group table. These have been worth every penny!!!</div>

Here are some more pictures of my firsties working on this concept.<br />

We got out for break on Friday at 1:00. I was home and piled up under a blanket with Netflix by 1:45 and didn't budge much until Sunday morning. <br />
<br />
I wanted to share with you the Christmas ornaments my students made. These were super easy to make.<br />

I got this idea from <a href="http://www.justaprimarygirl.com/2016/12/class-gifts-on-budget.html">Just a Primary Girl.</a> She has a few more options that she did with her students. I wanted to make this as simple as I could so my students all did the reindeer. I purchased one tile sheet for under $3 at Home Depot and a $1 roll of ribbon at the Dollar Store. I already had the paint and markers. Cheap and easy - you can't beat that! FYI: It works much better if you use a paintbrush to paint your student's thumbs before they put their thumbprint on the tile.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We also made these adorable silhouette ornaments using PowerPoint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Last year, we made Mother's Day gifts using this idea from </span><a href="http://kinderalphabet.com/2015/05/easy-diy-silhouette-on-powerpoint-for.html" style="text-align: start;">Lidia at Kinder Alphabet.</a><span style="text-align: start;"> We used this same idea to make our Christmas ornaments. Lidia has a great tutorial to help you </span>and once you do one, you will zip through the rest. </div>
<br />
My friend and coworker, Amanda, found the ornament pattern online that she inserted into PowerPoint. The ornament pattern can be found <a href="http://www.clipartpal.com/clipart_pd/holiday/christmas/christmasornaments_10691.html">at ClipartPal.</a><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Amanda offered to make all of my ornaments for me. All I had to do was take my student's pictures with an Ipad and then email them to her. She did all the magic on PowerPoint and printed them out. I then had to laminate, cut out and add the ribbon. <br />
<br />
If you look the finished ornament, you can see that I decided to cut the top off the ornament pattern and then put the ribbon on. You could easily make this same pattern in PowerPoint with a circle and rectangle in any color you want.<br />
<br />
I love my team y'all. There are four of us and I can't imagine doing first grade without their friendship and support. Tammy has decided to retire and while I am extremely happy for her, I will miss her terribly. She has been such a blessing! I wish her nothing but happiness and peace in her new adventures!

I finished making my Bundled Guided Reading Stations ~ The Fist 6 Weeks. You might want to check it out during the sale. There are 30 stations (5 per week) that will help get started with stations that students can work on independently while you work with reading groups.

I don't use the Daily 5 (gasp) because I prefer work stations. I usually start the second week of school and I don't have to wait for my kids to build stamina in order to work independently for 15-20 min. I am not saying that my way is better, but it works for me. <br />
<br />
I meet with every reading group, every day. I know I have said this before, but it is still true today: Guided Reading is the BEST part of my day.<br />
<br />
I usually have one group (4-5 students) working with me, one group (4-5 students) at their desks working on an assignment, one group (4-5 students) at Literacy work stations, and one group (4-5 students) on computers and chrome books (I have 4 computers and 3 chrome books in my room right now.) Depending on the number of students in my class, those groups could increase to 6.<br />
<br />
My rotation poster looks like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Students working independently at their desks may be working on:<br />
1. a spelling or phonics assignment (early in the year) Here's an example of us working on ai/ay ~ we did ai one day and ay the next day<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYppNgxLUoOZu8q4kfP76TFEa0EgB90pVwR3MsAvihdbdZ0FS_uukj4x0Glm_cNYW9h9YDlyIv8mI3sDZi0xStnWE0fgPxT_JyrLAqL_A_1cem_nVbabb4CoWD-S-Bl_a9YPdJ9lrQ_yC/s1600/ai+and+ay.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="249" data-original-width="450" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKYppNgxLUoOZu8q4kfP76TFEa0EgB90pVwR3MsAvihdbdZ0FS_uukj4x0Glm_cNYW9h9YDlyIv8mI3sDZi0xStnWE0fgPxT_JyrLAqL_A_1cem_nVbabb4CoWD-S-Bl_a9YPdJ9lrQ_yC/s320/ai+and+ay.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
2. a writing assignment (later in the year)<br />
3. science or social studies activities<br />
4. math facts or more math practice<br />
5. or anything else that I need to do during that time<br />
<br />
My early finishers usually read AR books and take tests or write in their journals.<br />
<br />
My school still uses the Journeys reading series, but we are up for a new adoption this year and I have no idea what we will pick.<br />
<br />
So, I am creating work station packs that are generic and can be used with any reading series. I have Week 1 in my TpT store now. I started with short a CVC words. (while I am putting them in the order I prefer, they can always be rearranged according to your needs.) <br />
<br />
I do not like to grade a ton of papers, so I have been putting the recording sheets inside reusable Write & Wipe pockets like the ones found <a href="http://www.lakeshorelearning.com/product/productDet.jsp?productItemID=1689949371921636&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=PLA&CAWELAID=520011010000033643&CAGPSPN=pla&CAAGID=14792439177&CATCI=pla-197665039257&catargetid=520011010000056122&cadevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrsSb5L2n1QIVl4izCh3pGAfVEAQYAyABEgIcdfD_BwE">HERE.</a> Slide the recording sheet in the pocket, students write answers with a dry erase marker and erase when finished. It saves me time (no grading) and it saves paper for those of you with paper limits. I also use them at the reading table. Here is a picture of my kiddos using them during guided reading:<br />

<br />
<br />
I have also attached the TEKS and Common Core standards to each work station. This will be helpful for anyone who has to attach standards to lesson plans, like me~😢. <br />

The old furniture from the old school looked outdated and mismatched so I painted it. It looks a thousand times better. {I did realize that the older I get, the less I like to paint. In fact, I decided that I HATE to paint.}</div>

Right now, my literacy groups consist of 3 things: phonics skill, reading, and sight word practice. When a group comes to the table, we usually work on our phonics skill first. This week, we are working on blends with r. Today,</span><span style="font-size: large;"> students circled pictures that started with dr and fr, then they flipped over and circled the blend that each picture started with.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Then we read. I have different groups reading different books based on their reading levels. Below, you can see pictures of two different groups reading. I have students read using whisper phones (that my hubby made- I used the directions from Priscilla at <a href="http://teacherificfun.blogspot.com/2013/02/diy-whisper-phones.html">teacherificfun.blogspot.com</a>.) This allows me to lean in and listen, intervene and question students as needed. All the kids are engaged in the reading the whole time.</span></div>

I thought you might like a peek into our week and maybe it might spark an idea or two that you could do with your students. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">We've been learning how to make a ten to add. We spent two days on this during our math block and at small math groups and my firsties were doing this like pros at the end of the second day. {Picture me doing a happy dance.}</span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We have been learning about character's feelings in reading this week. We've been reading "Jack and the Wolf." Below is an anchor chart we did together at the carpet. I had the skeleton of the chart filled out before we met (all the things you see on the left and top of the chart were done by me before this lesson.) The students themselves came up with what to put in the boxes. I also had a copy of the story in my hand and we turned to that page and discussed it before deciding what we wanted to write in the box.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">We've also been learning about bats this week in our ELA block. On Monday, we read some nonfiction books about bats to build our schema. We then made a class circle map listing some facts we learned.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">On Tuesday, we wrote 3 bat facts in our bat flapbooks. And then on Friday, we finally made the bat craft that we attached our flapbooks to.</span><br />

We worked on the short e sound. We started out writing short e words on our white boards and transitioned into sentence writing. I gave them a short e word and they used the word in a sentence. In the pictures below, we were using the word <i>bed </i>in a sentence.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Next week, we will be reading "Gus Takes the Train" in our Journeys reader. I whipped up a sequencing activity for my students to do at one of our centers while I work with small groups. It is shown below. I will laminate and cut out the 4 sequence cards. Students will sequence them in the correct order and then write the sentences on their recording sheet. If you would like a copy of this activity, just click on the picture below.</span></div>

I can't seem to find any time to squeeze in a moment to blog. My hat is off to all you bloggers that can find the time to blog every week and I even follow a couple of bloggers that keep up with two blogs AND have their own young families! Ah-maz-ing!!!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We are starting week three in my classroom. And let me say that I have a great group of kiddos!. I have some kids with BIG hearts this year. LOVE!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm curious if there are any Texas bloggers out there that are having to follow the TEKS Resource System Year at a Glance? We are this year and it has been a <strike> little </strike>LOT crazy around here trying to get all our adopted classroom resources aligned and find resources to supplement with when our adopted series doesn't cover a particular TEK in a certain six weeks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For those of you who don't have a clue what I am talking about, it is a vertically aligned document (K-12) that is a map of the entire year's instructional plan and a pacing guide for units of study. It puts our TEKS (standards) in a particular order to be taught throughout the year. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Here is a snapshot of the first two six weeks of math:</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">There is a point to this conversation. I want to share some things I have recently purchased on TpT that are saving my life right now.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my favorites is Reagan Tunstall's <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Guided-Math-First-Grade-Units-1-9-Bundle-1940110">Guided Math First Grade Units 1-9 Bundle</a>. Her product has all the TEKS (and common core if use that) right on each activity. Her product is not aligned exactly with the YAG we are using, but it has been super easy to grab exactly what I need out of it to match up with what I am teaching.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Since our school uses Go Math, I haven't used many of the whole group lessons, but I am eating up her small group lessons. They are fantastic. Here are a few pictures of us in action.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Another product I am loving is Miss Giraffe's<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Short-Vowels-1450123"> Short Vowels</a>. When I do literacy groups, I have one group working with me, one group at centers and one group at seat work. Her short vowel sheets are PERFECT for seat work and cover many ELA TEKS. Sorry I didn't get a picture of us doing this. :(</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of my go-to people on TpT for science and social studies is Robin at Class of Kinders. It is easy for me to go to her store and grab whatever activity I need to meet a TEK. We used her <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Mapping-My-Classroom-Pop-Up-Kindergarten-and-First-Grade-Social-Studies-1118992">Mapping My Classroom Pop-Up Activity</a> and h</span><span style="font-size: large;">ere are a couple of my student's completed maps of our classroom.</span><br />
