Sweet Life of Teaching: Parent Survey FREEBIE
http://sweetlifeofteaching.blogspot.com/2015/08/parent-survey-freebie.html
Thursday, August 13, 2015. I just received my class list today, and I hear it is nearly final- -maybe a couple of additions before the first day. At the beginning of the year, I think it is incredibly important to get to know each and every child. I love to hear what their parents think of them, too: their strengths, weaknesses, lovey-dovey nicknames, learning styles, you name it! In order to begin to get to know each child and understand where s/he is coming from, I send home a parent suvey.

Sweet Life of Teaching: November 2013
http://sweetlifeofteaching.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 2, 2013. Gobbling Up Great Writing! I am very much looking forward to gobbling up some great writing from my students this month! If we step back, we can read between the lines of "Here, do this" (did anyone actually ever say that out loud to you? I've considered the Common Core Objectives and the units from our local district writing curriculum and have intertwined that with topics that I know my students will be interested in doing. We will be engaged this year as we write, write...

Sweet Life of Teaching: Welcome Back Letters: Classroom DIY
http://sweetlifeofteaching.blogspot.com/2014/08/welcome-back-letters-classroom-diy.html
Thursday, August 14, 2014. Welcome Back Letters: Classroom DIY. I can't believe it is that time of summer- -time to mail out the welcome back/intro letters! I like to do a welcome back brochure instead of a letter because I can pack a lot of stuff into that little tri-fold! Mine really needed an update, and a new, fresh look. So here it is! Now I'm off to stuff and sticker some envelopes! You'll have to imagine it all folded up, but here's the front/back cover and inside flap….

Sweet Life of Teaching: August 2015
http://sweetlifeofteaching.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 30, 2015. As I gear up to go back to school, there are always a few new things I like to implement. After spending this summer reading and attending PD on Robert Marzano's Art and Science of Teaching. The research states that when. Students track their own learning and data, they take ownership of their learning, have intrinsic motivation, and perform better on high-stakes tests. Students as leaders - and in charge of their learning. It's a good thing! Thursday, August 13, 2015. It's a cou...

Sweet Life of Teaching: Choosing a Good Fit Book
http://sweetlifeofteaching.blogspot.com/2014/09/choosing-good-fit-book.html
Saturday, September 20, 2014. Choosing a Good Fit Book. This is my third year using the Daily 5 framework, and this is one of my favorite beginning of the year lessons. After I get all of their initial assessments done (and man, are there a TON! We sit in a large circle and we talk about our shoes. It seems super funny to them that this is the reason I have called a group meeting, but they roll with it. I convey to the class that when we focus on choosing books that will help us become better readers, it...

Sweet Life of Teaching: July 2014
http://sweetlifeofteaching.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2014. Close Reading for K-2. I've spent some time this summer thinking about how I am going to fit close reading activities into my first grade classroom, in addition to teaching more science this year. First of all, I had to step back and ask myself: what does close reading for young, beginning readers mean and what strategy/technique and I going to use to employ them to read closely? And/or how would I do it now as an adult. There's a great FREEBIE. Poster from Just a Primary Girl.
