Big Red Barn {Pocket Chart Poem Kit}

Happy Wednesday! I just finished up this little Pocket Chart Poem Kit just in time for our farm theme next week! This poem does a great job of promoting those super important phonemic awareness skills with your kiddos! Not only does this include the pocket chart version of the poem but also poems for your poetry notebooks.

WILD ABOUT SCHOOL! Jungle unit just posted! plus a FREEBIE!

Woo Hoo!!! All of this computer organization stuff is acually coming together! You know how it is during the school year...trying to be organized but just can't quite seem to get there. Well, I'm feelin' pretty darn good about finding most of my jungle unit stuff-yeah! I just posted my WILD ABOUT SCHOOL unit on my store at Teachers Pay Teachers and also on my new lil shop on Teachers Notebook. If you haven't visited Teachers Notebook, you need to check it out. It's similar to Teachers Pay Teachers and...they have FREEBIES too! Gotta love those FREEBIES!!!  Our school-wide theme is "Wild About Learning" this year and I'll using these activities right away in August. So, I'm sure I'll be creating some more activities to add to it. (Can't help it...I'm addicted to all that stinkin' cute clipart!) If you purchase this unit, please give me a shout out and I'll email you any additions that I come up with.

And speaking of FREEBIES...here is a FREEBIE from the Wild About School unit! Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think!!!

Happy Summer!

Save Our Earth!

I know Earth Day is in April, but we recently finished up our "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" posters and they turned out soooo stinkin' cute! I let the students work with a partner and brainstorm ways to be kind to our world. They used painted newspaper to create the grass on the posters and then drew the pictures on another sheet, cut them out & glued them to the poster. I took their dictated sentences and printed them out with a cute font I found online and... ta da!

These were so much fun and the kiddos learned so much-one thing is for sure...I CAN NOT throw even the smallest piece of paper in the trash can without someone saying, "You need to recycle that!"

I also created a pocket chart center called "Build a Green Sentence". I wrote the students' sentences on sentence strips & then cut the words apart. The students build the sentences & write them in the "Build-A-Green Sentence" mini book that I made. Just click on the link for the free mini-book!
