Maps and I am LOVING TPT!

This week I taught about Spatial Sense and Maps.  Learning about the students city, state, country, and continent are always very confusing for them.  I thought this idea from Pinterest would help the students understand better.  We read Me on a Map and then each day we talked about one of the circles.  I have always used a Core Knowledge lesson plan to teach maps with so I just incorporated this circle activity into the lesson.  I also LOVE using Google Earth to show the students a real picture of what I am talking about and Brainpop Jr.

This activity did seem to help the students understand the difference.  

 Here are some of the items I recently purchased from Teachers Pay Teachers.  I think I am officially a TPT addict! 

I have always struggled with teaching writing to my kiddos.  I knew this year I wanted to focus more on writing especially since we moved to the Common Core Standards.  Since I am using Daily Five I am able to add a mini lesson of writing everyday!  I have already noticed a difference in the students writing so far.  I purchased Writing through the Years Unit 1 because it seemed like it would be perfect for what I wanted.  The unit does use a writing workshop format, however I just use the mini lessons that come with it for the mini lesson during Daily Five.  We have been working on labeling our drawings and I am so amazed by how well the students are doing with this.  

 The week before last we started teaching the season of Fall to our kiddos.  I found this wonderful book and I knew it would be perfect to have my students add to their book box. 

Fall, Fall, What Do You See?

 A few weeks ago we talked about Johnny Appleseed.  I have always taught a wonderful lesson using a Core  Knowledge lesson plan, but this year I wanted to add to it to make it better.  I found these awesome craftivities at TPT and I knew they would be perfect.

Johnny Appleseed Craftivities

The students loved making Johnny Appleseed and his tree.  Also, the hats turned out super cute.

 Calendar is always a tough concept for 5 year old's to comprehend.  When I found these amazing papers to go with calendar, I knew I needed them.  There are so many concepts that the students need in them.  This is probably one of my favorite things I have purchased.

It's Calendar Time!

 I went ahead this week and printed all the calendars for the rest of the year.  It does take a lot of paper to print, however I do feel it is worth it!  There are so many concepts being covered in these that I look forward to filling them out every day.  I know my students love it too because they are heart broken when we skip a certain part one day because we are running behind.  They want to complete the whole page every single day.

 

 The last one I am going to share is actually one that I created.  Every year I have had the students write their name, draw a picture of themselves and write their numbers.  The paper I have always done it on, I personally didn't really care for it because the line for the name was to little.  If a student had a big name, it wouldn't fit.  So I decided to create a new one that I could use and show the growth of my students.

My Book!

 Thanks for reading my post!  I hope you found some new things that you haven't seen before and try them out!

Behavior Posters and Classroom Jobs

In the middle of last school year I decided to switch around my behavior chart.  It was kinda like what I already used however it also had colors at the top of it.  You can check out the post here.

Anyways, I ended up really liking the behavior chart.  It really motivated my 'good' students to even try harder.  Since I liked it so much I new I wanted to make one again for this coming year.  I am changing my room theme so I needed to make a new chart.  Here is what I came up with.

   This is the one I decided to print off and us for this year.  Now I just need to laminate it and find somewhere in my classroom for it.

I also made two other versions of this chart.  One is completely black and white and the other has the word in color.  I have a picture below of the 3 different versions.  Check them out.

 Another project I have been working on is making a new job chart for my classroom.

I plan on using clothes pins for these too.  Everyone will start at the vacation card and they will clip down to a job when it is their turn.  I printed these out, laminated them, and then I added a ribbon to connect them.  I plan on hanging them up on my Calendar Bulletin Board.
