Check Out the New Go 4th and Teach TPT Store!



Hey, Everyone...

I am SO excited to get my TPT store up and running after attending some really cool webinars for back to school season. I am starting out with this easy resource to print and use for parts of speech review and independent work. Take a look at it, and give it a download if you like what you see! There is also a new resource link for Roller Ball Greeting Game Rules Posters! This is a great icebreaker game you can use all year long, because it evolves into a "beat your previous time" game! If you have suggestions leave them in the comments so I can continue to refine my skills as a teaching resource creator. I hope everyone's doing great and enjoying the last bit of summer-- I go back on Monday! 


Click the images below to go directly to the resources on TPT, and THANK YOU!!!

Take Care, 
Stefsays



p.s. By the way--notice the new blog theme? I'm on a mission! 💪

Teaching with Purpose and Modifications  By: Stefanie Ady Purposeful centers: I have been so very fortunate this year. I've seen some of the best center management techniques and some of t he (ahem...) not best ;). T he best behaviors and completed assignments were in the rooms where students could tell me why they were doing something. No matter the age, they need to be able to do that if you expect your centers to function well enough to pull guided reading groups while they're happening. If your Kindergarten students can't tell  you why they're sifting through the big bin of magnet letters for all the "b's" then the center will be a mess and the learning piece of it disappears, making it a waste of time. Conversely, if your Kindergarteners can tell you that they're looking for all the letter "b's" today because they're practicing the B sound and they're going to make a big B out of all the small B's-- that's p...

Do You Have Time To Sit? GOOD!

I am here to tell you, dear ones, that you are NOT lazy if you are sitting down for awhile. You know what you are? You're a facilitator.  If you are finding yourself with minutes upon minutes to sit at your desk, type out an email, and--GASP!--possibly even call some students over to conference with them, then I say "Bravo!".  You have effectively paced your instruction to inform your students and then successfully provided them with the tools and opportunity to accomplish a task that you gave them!  Is that not the ultimate goal? I am a teacher who sits sometimes.  In fact, I find myself wondering as I type this and my students are doing research on their iPads and taking screen shots of dinosaur fossils to share as a Science grade if someone might walk in here and FREAK OUT because I am taking a moment to blog and to be at my desk.  I don't think that should be the case.  Of course, anyone wondering what happens in my room is welcome to join us. ...

Updated: Reading to Someone in Centers is Important! Make it Productive for the Students with a Structured Activity they can Facilitate for Themselves!

In Elementary teaching, whether in public schools or charter schools at some point during their instructional day have a Language Arts Block that includes small group instruction.  For us teachers, generally that means pulling leveled groups for guided reading or some form of it (reciprocal teaching, close reading, etc.), and for students it means rotating through learning "centers" or "stations" that should reinforce previously learned concepts based on Common Core Standards.  When deciding how to manage these small group and center times, teachers often seek out instructional practices such as "The Daily 5", which includes the following 5 types of learning centers:                                       1. Working with Words 2.  Reading to Yourself 3.  Writing  4. Reading to Someone 5. Listening to Reading Now, whether you use The Daily 5 practice, or ...
