Amazing Resources, Part 3

Here are a few more Amazing Resources!!  If you know of others, please share with the rest of us...  :)

Your Next Read  - Super cool way to find new books.  Type in a title or type of book (or click on the images on the front page) and get a web of suggested titles.  They provide the book blurb from Amazon, too, so you can learn more about it.  I have a few students who I'll be using this with to help them "widen" their book interests!  Here is a web it created for my fav Elephant and Piggie book.  :) 
http://www.wrsd.net/literacy/launch.cfm  Lessons, sample pacing guides, and resources to launch Reader's Workshop and Writer's Workshop.  Aligns nicely with Daily 5 and CCSS.

    Our Math interventionist showed us those Math Problem of the Day pages. I saw that you can download them as a PowerPoint. I am going to print the slides as "Handouts" where there are 3 slides per page with lines beside it where the kids can work out the problems. Then, I'll three-hole punch it and put it in their Calendar Folders that we fill out during Calendar Time. :)

With that in mind, it is crucial to give families the tools they need to help this child, as well as other children in the household. {Here's a link to an article from The Atlantic:  How Family Game Night Makes Kids Into Better Students } I love to invite families to school for Literacy Night. I've helped organize, prepare, and lead Literacy Nights at least 8 times over the course of my teaching career, and I plan to continue this for years to come. Here are my tips for an easy and successful Literacy Night in Upper Elementary classrooms.

The question I have been asked the most over the years by other teachers is, "How do you find the time to differentiate Word Work for your students and still teach everything else?"  Short answer - I use the time I am already meeting with them in Guided Reading groups.
