Daily 5

Also, My Daily 5 is going very, very well so far.  Friday, we had our Apple Harvest Party & at the end of it, while kids were munching on snacks & hanging with friends & family I had about 6 kids ask to go to book nooks with their book baskets - and they ACTUALLY READ & WORKED! 

I was so proud...will post more later!



Welcome to Noun Town (and this school year, apparently)

I have been a total blogging slacker! I'd like to say that it is because I have been working so hard on my classroom that EVERYTHING I wanted to have accomplished by is but that is not the case. 

Life is the case. 

It is okay though, if It was any less chaotic it would be boring.  Plus, I have a really good group this year.  They actually want to work quietly which is amazing - generally each year we have to do several *lessons on what it looks like/sounds like when we are working quietly but this year I have a group of kids who actually works quietly with very little interruptions.  It is kind of weird, but I LOVE it.

Anyway, my friends Megan & Mary over at Fans of First stole this cute Noun Town idea from another creative teacher.  We think it turned out really cute & the kids LOVE finding their nouns!!
