I know it’s only Monday... but I have a busy week ahead so I went ahead and started planning for next week!! I’m so excited for this context clue unit!!!!

This unit is designed to provide students a direct hands-on approach to model and practice using context clues to discover the meaning of unknown words.
•
This unit encourages students to search for unknown words, discover words, and become strong readers. The goal is for students to become word detectives throughout their daily lives, increasing vocabulary, increasing comprehension, and becoming life long learners and readers. #handsonreading #contextclues #holliegriffithteaching #hgteaching @ Lexington, Kentucky
Do you do number grid puzzles with your students?!?!? I love this idea from @sparklinginsecondgrade!!!! I was actually just thinking this week that I need some new hands-on activities and games. I think I’m going to be doing some laminating and cutting this weekend. Her tip is to label all of the pieces and bags with a number... #handsonlearning #mathgames #teachershare
Have you read this book?!?!? I’ve read it twice with my first graders!! Actually... my principal read it to all of the students in our building... then my students begged me to read it again today!!!

We all make bad decisions sometimes... but I hope more than anything my children and students decide to do what is right over what is easy!!!! #whatshoulddannydo #thecapeisawesome #superteacher
Have you guys heard of Pick-a-Stic?!?!? I’ve been letting a different student grab a stick each morning. I have to say.... we’ve had the best discussions!!! Each stick has a quote, reminder, or life tip... THANKS @pickastic
