My <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Center-Grades-3-6-UPDATED-853834" target="_blank">Interactive Writing Center</a> has been a best seller in my shop for years, but recent events of both teachers and students needing to go digital has allowed me to dip my toes into digital waters...and I'm so excited about it!<br />
<br />
Have you ever put something out of your reach, and then you realize that NO MATTER WHAT...you HAVE to extend your arms a little more and figure it out?? Well, that has been me. I took a course on digital resource creation and watched 5.2 million videos on best practices, lol...and then the though of "What the heck do I make first?" and "Where the heck do I begin??" entered my brain.<br />
<br />
My answer was loud and clear (as I was clearly having a conversation with myself, ha!)...reinvent your Writing Center! And so I did...and I LOVE IT!!!<br />

Here's my theory...in life, we all like choices, and when we are backed into a corner without any say in what we want or what we have to do, we have a tendency to rush and possibly not put forth our best work. I am giving our students choices right off the bat with interactive category page. Instead of a bulletin board of topics that were printed out and assembled, their choices are just a click away!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>40 TOPICS are available for them to explore, but let's take a minute to discuss those topics. </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These categories focus on every aspect of writing. As an ELA teacher, I feel that working on sentence structure, use of figurative language, grammar, and punctuation are CRITICAL in being a tremendous writer, which is why I have included those topics. Yes, they will be writing, but they will also be practicing those fine-tuning skills.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This resource is setup to TEACH your kiddos the content needing to be learned and then they are to practice what they are learning with the given activity pages. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to keep the communication between the teacher and student completely open. Yes, this resource offers everything our students need in order to learn the content, but sometimes we need a little extra support. The tracking forms help them to keep track of when they begin and when they end each activity. The teacher can take a look at this each week when this is submitted and then sign off and assign a grade, if they so choose.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The discussion forms are made for...well, discussions! I think it's to let our kiddos know that #1...we are seeing their work, but more importantly, that #2, we are assessing their individual needs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's what I would do from week to week:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Assign students a certain amount of work to complete each week. For example, each student must complete 3 writing topics a week and then submit the file to the teacher via Google Classroom.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Check out the students' work, offer feedback on the tracking and/or discussion forms.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Re-assign the document to the student so that they can continue to work on the center. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Continue to do this, and adjust how many activities they are completing each week. There is no wrong or right way to go about this. YOU DO what you feel comfortable doing each week.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">YOU can decide what each student is working on each week, as well. You don't have to use it as a choice board. Again, that's completely up to you. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Digital-Writing-Center-for-Distance-Learning-5417357" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="308" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNS3-JeZ5x2EPzP5950C2VNM8P6tZ-sY9wPuxTY9lnJG8suoyyE5ANQETwbhmj1Lvm1tgu59unMkvDVFxFyUfYz0lGYhlAt-rdCYioukrE7OLMfzC_bcZQfviL4HM_yWNf3I73Bkdd_7Q/s400/Blank+11+x+8.5+in+%25283%2529.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, the activities in this resource range from SUPER simple, like creating and designing a greeting card and making a list...to writing mystery stories and designing a blog site and writing a blog post. I wanted to include something for everyone. Please assess your students' abilities prior to purchasing. Even if you have students that are working at a higher level, it can be a much-needed "mental break" to complete simple tasks. We all need that from time to time, so I have found that my students like a balance of "getting pushed" and also taking time to relax their mental muscles. </div>

Just like food, I feel like we engage with the content by "eating with our eyes first." I wanted to creating images that were visually stimulating and go our students excited to jump in! The really beautiful part of this resource is the content...it works. You will see your students get creative and excited to do more. I've seen it time and time again, and I can personally tell you that I have had thousands of teachers tell me the same exact thing. Their students CAN'T WAIT to choose their next topic. It becomes FUN for them to see what their next writing adventure is. </div>

Getting our students to write isn't always an easy task. It takes a great deal of time to teach them the the conventions of writing, the structure, the sound, the transitions, and so much more. More than anything, it's a job in itself to get your kiddos to ENJOY writing.<br />
<br />
How on earth do we fix this within our classroom walls?<br />
<br />
Is it even possible?!<br />
<br />
Yes. Absolutely...<br />
<br />
In my classroom, I developed an interactive writing center for my students. I want to show you how it works and WHY it works.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Center-Grades-3-6-UPDATED-853834" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD1lZHWM16UEEyaz9YDoQcqju55MCYe3dU8YtjFMxgfyiQZ9g4OTgE0KRThCHqg96PcuPVXE2k9-_aVkKDUGyu775sVig-VwAo7zX6pDv_GPq8x32i0ikDnDWvPwr2LZ8Uef1UYtxhcsA/s400/writing+center.png" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
This center is set up much like a menu would be. When we go to a restaurant, we don't want to be told what we have to eat. We want choices! Well, my friends, this is exactly how our students feel. I know what you're thinking...sometimes they don't have a choice. You're absolutely right, but I can tell you this, if you get them writing, and enjoying the writing process, you are breaking down their walls of fear and resentment towards the task of writing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Center-Grades-3-6-UPDATED-853834" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1224" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wAd5eIzIWAmCxDqS3EgrxytKHat6wMFkmfmU42FU52pz6WVeDXVT3cW3Ln8gz3ViLcaQ4p6xV_sMXZT5cfhIz0C21zKyaGeZjCVWgCnkl99Xzyyf2RncxnJ70wHDZ8pKCeXUG9eO00Q/s640/headers.png" width="488" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
When I have a student that really struggles academically, it's my personal mission to help them feel that "Wow! I did it!" moment that they so desperately need. We all need gratification, so my theory is...provide that opportunity and then build upon that. Build upon their belief in themselves. There is so much power that lies within them.<br />
<br />
How on earth does this have to with writing? Haha...<br />
<br />
Keep reading.<br />
<br />
My writing center is providing them that opportunity to choose their task, be it simple or a bit of a challenge to them. You read it once they are finished, and provide feedback.<br />
<br />
I have created a spiraled process that begins and ends with the student. It works like this.<br />
<br />
1. They choose their task from the options that you have given.<br />
<br />
2. They complete it, with direction from the detailed instruction/example pages that are provided. <b>(It is HANDS-OFF for the teacher, which means you have more time for small group instruction!)</b><br />
<br />
3. They turn it in.<br />
<br />
4. You review it, and offer positive critiquing or simply meet with them to discuss their work.<br />
<br />
5. Create a plan of action for that kiddo...or congratulate them and have them move onto the next task!<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
The point of this center is...well, there are a couple of points, actually. First, it's to allow them the <i><b>freedom of choice</b></i>. <b>This will make the writing part a little more appealing to them.</b> Second, it allows you to individually assess each student's growth, which leaves room for intervention or advancement, if needed. Third, this center frees up your time. I created example pages that, if read in order, each student will be able to independently learn and apply what they have learned with each writing assignment. Therefore, leaving you time to dig deeper with other students...or to assess the writing that has been completed by the kiddos in your class and hold student conferences.<br />
<br />
It's quite literally a perfect system.<br />
<br />
A common question that I get from teachers is, "How many assignments do you give per week?"<br />
<br />
The answer to that is...YOU CHOOSE!<br />

I would say that for your more advanced students, you can have a greater expectation. That may come in the form of more assignments completed, or it may be that they are simply completing the more challenging tasks within the center.<br />
<br />
You may want to give them a goal of 2 per week, or maybe one is enough. You can also have a more focused study where as a whole group, you are working on and perfecting one topic! YOU DECIDE what works for you and your class. The only way to do this is to set it up and dig in. You'll know right away what is too much.<br />

Another idea would be to give them a grading period goal...for example, students would have to complete no lesson that 10 writing assignments per grading period.<br />
<br />
I provide a checklist for each student, as well, so that they can see what they have and have not tried.<br />
<br />
It was important to me to provide high-interest activities that would encourage even the most stubborn writer to write. I provided a range of low to high-level writing tasks that could easily adapt to every type of learner in our classroom.<br />
<br />
Let writing become a choice, and you'll find that your students' interests in it will elevate! Their ability to write will improve, and ultimately, their confidence within your classroom...with school...will soar!<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Otherwise, you're simply swimming in a sea of chaos and uncertainty. I know, because I was that teacher. Yep...that was me! In my mind, I always felt like I was alone, as other teachers always seem to have their acts together...not a paper out of place. There was always a place for something. Perfection... a system that worked like a well-oiled machine. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I, on the other hand, wasn't sure where to begin! How did they manage to get to that point? Where did they begin? Would their system work for me?</div>
<br />
So I started to purge. I started the attempt of straightening things out and organizing my chaotic mess. I managed to clean out my files, and made everything look "just so," but that didn't TOUCH my internal organization...aka...paperwork. I had everything shoved into a little caddy that I kept on my desk, and when I needed to find something, it was never where it should be, or all it was all wrinkled and tattered simply because I didn't organize it the right way!<br />
<br />
Something had to give.<br />
<br />
Something had to change.<br />
<br />
That's when I started thinking of ways to help not only myself, but other teachers, such as myself, to organize. That's when my teaching binders were born!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Joey-Udovich/Category/Teaching-Binders-Planners-197000" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1600" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKs9Ft1uLvdZi6KXYSVtLRXC-FeCLrtVLhEschiSLwnck5LX2DQNMLk04n3s-FplhMPFSEmUApzn73kTe5ctwd8VMj_TIGS3qf9QtZtKstn1BTKwH-LvXFR1sEeN1CLN75ssVWepg25yE/s640/11PicMonkey+Collage.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
When I first started making teaching binders in 2013, I had no idea how many teachers were looking for the perfect organization answer for their classroom space. Pre-made planners were on the market, and I definitely made sure to get a new one (at the cost of $15) at the start of every school year. Sadly, this cost has increased, and you will now pay anywhere from $50 - $80 for a professional pre-printed planner...that you will just throw away!!<br />
<br />
I was frustrated, and wanted more...<b>I knew that I could do much better </b>than what was being offered to myself and my fellow teachers.<br />
<br />
I knew exactly what I needed, and with much persistence, several months of time, quite a few headaches, and a couple of tears later...I had it! I created my very first teaching binder!<br />
<br />
If I'm being totally honest, the term "binder" kind of bothers me, because it's much more than one piece. It can be used in a <b>multitude</b> of ways..from sub plans, to standards, to lesson plans, or to whatever it is that you need to store in an organized place. It's more of a binder <b>SYSTEM</b>.<br />
<br />

<br />
So anyhow, my binders were quickly accepted by my teaching community and soared to the top of the TpT charts, but after a couple of years, competition in the binder market increased, as I had expected it would, and my binders were buried. I was having babies, building my house, and not updating a thing.<br />
<br />
I knew I needed to revive it in every possible way, so after five years of looking at feedback from teachers across the globe...talking to my fellow teachers, and being a part of a global teaching community, I came up with the product that I have today.<br />
<br />
I can't wait for you to take a peek...<br />

Want to dig in a little deeper? Let's do it!<br />
<br />
I added a TON of detailed, yet effective, teacher forms for practically everything you could think of for your classroom. From class lists and student transportation, to small group, IEP, and RTI! Everything is there for you...and with several options, which are all...<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: magenta;">EDITABLE! </span>WHOOP! WHOOP!</span><br />

One of the feedbacks that I heard over and over again from teachers was that the file was overwhelming. I knew that when the day came for me to redo them, I needed to fix that. <b>I organized every single form into four categories for easy assemble, and a "no thought required" assembly:</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. The Main Teaching Binder:</b> A place to hold all of those important student documents, standardized test scores, IEP information, and more!<br />
<br />

<b>3. Lesson Plans:</b> I offer a HUGE variety of plans for teachers that teach one subject to several! If you need to tweak the tables, you can easily do that by adding or taking away columns and rows. If you aren't sure how to do that, you can watch my <b><span style="color: magenta;">buyer exclusive how-to videos </span></b>to help you in a couple of simple steps!</div>

<b>4. Substitute Binders:</b> Never be unprepared for a sub again! This binder is a must have for my classroom. With three kids at home, there are times that unexpected absences occur. I never panic, because I keep all of my classroom information, as well as emergency sub plans in my sub binder! </div>

I would also recommend having a binder for your small group work, calendars, each subject, and perhaps your standards. The possibilities are ENDLESS!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Moving forward!</div>

Going digital has been a huge step forward for a lot of school districts and educators in general. That's why I am offering a Google drive version of my binders within this download! You can choose to print or type in your plans...collect information on your kiddos, and have it on the go and at your fingertips! It's convenient, quick, and accessible to you, even if you're halfway around the world! </div>

Speaking of digital, I have also included the COOLEST digital stickers to my binders! I spent a ton of time custom layering the colors on these adorable Doodle fonts by friend <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/A-Perfect-Blend" target="_blank">Amanda Newsome at PB Fonts</a>! She's so talented, and I knew I had to incorporate these sweet drawings into my download.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Simply cut and paste these into your calendars, plans, notes...or into whatever you want!</div>

I want to begin this post by saying that we all teach within our comfort zones. We ultimately teach the way that we feel is best, so this is simply something that I have found that works for me, and I hope that maybe what I have done will inspire you to give it a try, as well!</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The words "positive mindset" seem to be huge buzz words in the world of education right now. The fact is, we have more than likely been practicing positive mindset methods within the walls of our classroom for quite some time, but now we simply have a title for it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Positive mindset can appear many different ways. It may be in the form of kind words and positive reinforcement. It may be through posters that you hang on your walls that remind your kiddos of the power of their thoughts and actions. Or, it may be through empowering them through their own choices and actions. </div>

What would happen if we gave our students the CHOICE of what they learned? Would our classrooms be turned upside down, and would we lose our sense of control?</div>

There are very simple ways to go about this. Here are a couple:<br />
<br />
1. <b>Allow students to choose partners, work alone, or in small group. </b>(Do these within reason...simply because some kiddos work best alone, with certain partners, and with extra support.)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2. <b>Allow students to sit where they want in the room.</b> I have different seating options in my classroom that allow for more of a flexible seating situation when I am finished teaching them whole or small group.<br />

It's THEIR day to determine what it is that they'll be doing. I keep the content relevant, and students know that they'll have to work, but depending on how they prefer to learn, and what they like to do, the experience of my class is a bit more personal to them.<br />

<i>There are two ways to go about this.</i><br />
<br />
1. Have students complete one or two tasks of their choice within a given time limit.<br />
<br />
2. Have students complete each of the tasks over a period of time, allowing them to decide the order in which they complete them.<br />
<br />
I am always sensitive of my students' learning styles, as well. I was always a visual/hands-on learner. I also learned best when someone else read to me, and asked me questions. Other kiddos may want to be the ones doing the reading, or researching a topic for a report.<br />

I use my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Writing-Center-Grades-3-6-UPDATED-853834" target="_blank">interactive writing center</a> in my classroom. It is a perfect fit for student choice. The tasks that I choose to put on my bulletin board, and there are a ton, are varied in their complexity. So, let's say that I have a kiddo that's really low, and is reading and writing way below grade level, they may choose to create a greeting card instead of another kiddo that wants to try their hand at writing a fractured fairytale.</div>

I can't tell you how many times I have seen that look of defeat on students' faces when I handed them something that they just could not do. It was heartbreaking. It has taken me a long time to really understand how to truly differentiate my instruction, and how to provide those empowering opportunities to each of my students. Their mindset and self-confidence really can alter their willingness to try, as well as their willingness to take on new tasks. That, to me, is the ultimate goal.</div>

A positive psychology researcher by the name of Barbara Fredrickson has a "broaden and build" theory that ties right into this frame of thinking. After researching and testing her theories on positive thinking, she has found that "positive emotions will broaden your sense of possibilities and open your mind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

That sums up my goal...to open the minds of my students, and to believe in themselves. </div>

There are SO many ways to make our classrooms adaptable to change. I just wanted to highlight a few things that I do in my classroom. You can also implement student choice with technology, morning routines, and classroom decisions. Let your students have some ownership of their home away from home, and I think you'll see that you become less of a classroom and more of a family.<br />

I'm THRILLED that I can officially offer this product to my fellow teachers! I started TpT in 2013, and had the idea for my teaching binders as soon as I began. I had always wanted to create a go-to place for my classroom forms and overall organization, and I had NO IDEA that so many other teachers were looking for the same kind of organization as me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since that time, I have created 9 theme-specific binders, which I have used in my classroom since they were created. They are always on the TpT best seller lists in the summer, as teachers prepare to organize their classroom lives in the fall, and are also a huge hit in December/January when my Australian friends are finding their way back into their classrooms!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With that being said, I am SO SO SOOO excited to announce the release of my latest, and greatest binder yet! I can honestly say that I have NEVER seen a more versatile binder in all of my years of teaching. Below, you will find pictures that help depict what you will be getting with your purchase.</div>

I started making teaching binders in 2013, when I finally said that enough was enough, and that I wouldn't spend yet another year in disorganized chaos. So, after some time (two years, as a matter of fact), I have created nine teaching binders, all with different themes to help not only myself...but teachers everywhere to be a little bit more organized. I have to say...I kinda like 'em! From the feedback that I've gotten from teachers such as yourself, I think you do (will) too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It really is a personal decision. I'm simply going to talk to you about where I place the content, and then make some suggestions, as well.</div>

I'll begin with the pictures, and I'll end with the breakdown. <b>Here comes my OCD</b>... My pictures aren't as crisp and bright as I would have liked them to be, but that's because farmhouse chandeliers just don't do the trick in the photo shoot department.</div>

I will talk to you about my assembly, but again, it's really up to you and what YOU prefer. Some people really like to get their binders <span style="color: magenta;">BOUND</span>, while I prefer to use <span style="color: magenta;">PAGE PROTECTORS</span>, <span style="color: magenta;">TABS</span>, and a <span style="color: magenta;">THREE-HOLE PUNCH</span>.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: large;">What's the benefit of using page protectors and a binder, versus getting it bound?</span></i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I always encourage my buyers to get their binders printed through a professional printing company, such as Staples, Office Depot, Best Value Copy, or a local printer. I do this, simply because the quality is unmatched, and the look of your binder will be at its ultimate potential. This will cost you a little bit more in printing, so to make the most of your purchase, <span style="color: magenta;">I always recommend putting your COVERS in page protectors, that way you can have the same pages for years to come!</span> You do NOT have to print the forms using those companies if you don't want to. But the pages with a great deal of ink...yes...I would send those to the printers. Do you have to? Nope...not at all, but it is a lot nicer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can find page protectors pretty much anywhere...Wal Mart, Target, office supply stores..</div>

I would also like to note that I think it would be a really great idea to get some of the binder bound. I have never done it, but as I am writing this post, a few ideas come to mind, such as creating a grade book and lesson plan book. I am trying to find a cost-effective way to make these available to buyers, as well. I would love to create a hard good for my buyers. Until then, this may be something that you want to consider doing with the pages that I provide.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, it's a year after I initially wrote this post on my Bright Colors and Buttons themed teacher binder, and looking back on the past year, I couldn't be happier! I have managed to help thousands of teachers organize their classrooms worldwide, and the mere thought of that is humbling. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My binders take a great amount of time and care to make, so the turnover time of creating them is a lengthy one. I did, however, manage to make one more new one that is both BEAUTIFUL AND PRINTER FRIENDLY! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, with that being said, I would like to present to you...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #073763;">Navy</span> <span style="color: magenta;">R</span><span style="color: red;">a</span><span style="color: orange;">i</span><span style="color: lime;">n</span><span style="color: #073763;">b</span><span style="color: magenta;">o</span><span style="color: red;">w</span>!</span><br />

for my educational memories of my childhood, it still amazes me just how much the process of teaching and educating the young minds of the world have changed. Now, we are playing around with flexible seating, student-led learning, and small group instruction! Imagine how many of the kids in the picture above would be smiling if you just put a bean bag under their bottoms. Right?!<br />

Okay, so let's step forward into this this very fortunate time in education and imagine something even more astounding. In doing so, I have a couple of questions for my modern-day educators, more specifically, math teachers...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Would you like to have someone run your centers for you? Or would you like for someone or something else that could take the time to show your students step-by-step directions on how to solve math problems during class time while <i>you</i> worked in a small group?</b></div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Who doesn't?!</h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The idea behind the example cards came to me when I saw just how dependent my students were on me. I wanted to alleviate their reliance and free up time for my small group work. How would I do this? I needed a "teacher" available to do my job while I did something else. That's how these priceless tools were created.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Choose their topic</div>
2. Find and go back to their seats or work stations with their practice pages and example cards for that particular skill<br />
3. Complete and keep their interactive math work in the student tracking folders<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I totally get it! All of our classrooms are different, or perhaps you have things where you want them. No problem. We are also showing you the option of putting these materials on to a trifold board. The cool thing about this is that you can interchange the content very easily. We put Velcro on the back of these and when we're ready to change them out...it's a matter of pulling these off and putting something else in its place!</div>

Yes, there is a little bit of effort on your part at FIRST setting this up. However, instead of being overwhelmed with the thought of it, we want you to keep something in mind...</div>
<h4 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You set this up <b><u>ONCE</u></b>...and other than the practice pages, you literally will have this forever. </h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta;">I recommend printing the example and preview pages professionally. You can load that particular file online to a site such as Staples and send it to their printer. BE SURE TO PREVIEW THE PRINT JOB BEFORE SENDING IT! Sometimes, it will be set in a portrait setting when you need it in landscape. That will make the print job worthless, and you'll have to do it again. You don't want that to happen! </span></div>
<h2 style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Here's the setup breakdown:</span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Print</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Laminate sample and example cards and cut</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Place example pages and student skill pages into desired system (hanging file, pocket folders, accordion folder, etc.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Explain to kiddos how to work the center</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Start working with your small group and having mathematical freedom!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;">Hi there!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;">Welcome to my blog! My name is Joey...no, that's not short for anything. {I get asked that a lot!} I was the youngest of four daughters, so I guess you could say that I'm the junior of my family, since I'm named after my father. He's a pretty cool guy, so that's okay with me!</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;">I have been teaching in a classroom since 2007. I started in first grade, but after having my first kiddo, I quickly realized that I needed something that wasn't so tiring! Hats off to all of my K-1 teacher friends...you rock! I am happily teaching in fifth grade, and I have no plans of leaving.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;">Our fifth grade became departmentalized a few years ago, and I have been teaching ELA, and only ELA for the last three years. I LOVE IT! Yes, I'm that nerdy girl who truly gets excited about going to school and teaching her students...guilty as charged.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "Open Sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #686868; font-family: "open sans"; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;">Outside of school, I'm a momma to three amazing girls who keep me on my feet! I'm married to an amazing guy that I have literally known my entire life. Believe it or not, you guys...I truly married the boy next door. We live in the country...and we like it that way. I'm definitely not a city girl...UNLESS it's for a date night, then we head into the city, and we both love it!</span></div>

I have been a teacher author on TpT since 2013. Starting my own shop has changed my life...and I feel so blessed to be a part of a much bigger teaching community now that I collaborate with teachers worldwide on a daily basis. I learn so much from all of you, and I hope that I can also share a few things with everyone along the way, as well!</div>

This year, I'm sitting by a beautiful, crackling fire of that very same lake house...loving life and working like crazy! I know, I know...who does that?! Relax!! Right? Well, I am...but I'm taking advantage of being able have others pitch in on watching my little ones. Plus, I just like making stuff for my classroom kiddos. :)<br />

It's been awhile since I have taken the time to write, but to be completely honest with you...life has been a bit hectic these days. My mother-in-law has started chemotherapy and my husband has been super busy with work. That leaves me working full time as a teacher and as a mommy. That's just the way that it goes. I'm sure we can all relate to hectic times in our lives. We push on and support one another all the while. To get me through the chaos that has been my life, I have found some quiet time to sit down and create some pretty cool things for us! <br />
<br />
I'd like to introduce my "Witch Craft!" Haha...no, it's not witchcraft, folks. :) This whimsical, little lady is so much fun! She's a combination of a Halloween writing activity, as well as a simple copy, cut, and glue activity. <br />

Halloween is such a fun time for our family! I always have a big party for my girls full of spooky lights, decorations, fun food, and I even put my husband on his tractor to give everyone a hayride through our neighbor's fields. Bonfires, corn hole, and the cool air...what's not to love?! </div>

Here's the truth about my little witch. She's been in the makes for the last year, but I just never got around to putting her onto TpT. I hand drew some of her parts, and was new to putting my own drawings into a document. I was SO nervous about what you guys would say, but at the end of the day...I'm still a teacher who DOES draw and copy to make cute things for my classroom. Why not share it with you??? Here's a part of that document that you would be receiving...this is something that I drew, and guess what? It does the job! :)</div>

But how do you put it together??? Well, no worries! I give you STEP-BY-STEP directions (WITH PICTURES) to take you and your students every step of the way. It's super simple. I made mine with construction paper, but I also give you the option of printing onto white paper and having your students color it instead.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I got this idea, well, several times in the past five years as I checked my students' papers...oh my. God bless them, but I would wager to say that 95% of my students, both past and present, struggle with building a proper sentence! It breaks my little teacher heart. Something HAD to change...it just had to! I have the power to do SOMETHING...I CAN make a difference...but how?! This went through my mind over and over and over again. Until, <b><span style="color: orange;">B</span><span style="color: red;">A</span><span style="color: blue;">M</span></b>! I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to do. I had to make something that would allow them to try their hand at fixing sentences with multiple errors, the same exact errors that I have been seeing for years! However, in order to learn from these sentences, they needed a way to instantly check their corrections that they would be making to the error sentences. This is what I came up with and I'm kinda liking it!</div>

The idea behind this is to make writing a sentence, a paragraph, an essay...easier to write. I want to make at least the structure of their sentences effortless. I want to take away the fear of having their teachers proofread their work. I want to give them CONFIDENCE that they nailed it every time! Big dreams? Not really...I'm pretty confident that after the intended practice that will come with this simple center will help them to be successful!</div>

I truly have been spinning, and smiling all the while, trying to ready my classroom for my students. I decided to take an intergalactic approach this year. I didn't go over the top, simply because I liked my classroom last year and didn't want to take any of my fabric down! I added some star border with other spacey accents throughout my room. I LOVE it! It's colorful and makes my little teaching heart happy when I walk into it each morning. So, without further ado, I would like to present to you my 2014-2015 classroom!<br />

Here is how I'm keeping track of my jobs this year. I'm giving each student a job and changing it every nine week period. I think this will promote consistency and more pride in what they're expected to do in our room. I don't assign jobs until I have had time to get to know them, so this will be during the second week of school. :) </div>

Here is a look at my Homeworkopoly board, which I also don't start until the second week of school. Each student gets a star game piece to move around the board. They roll die if they have done all of their homework and have gotten their agenda signed. THEY LOVE IT!!! It has, hands down, increased the percentage of students completing their homework.</div>

I got the idea for my Data Center from one of my Facebook followers. She had an entire wall of data that she had collected for each subject. I LOVE this idea, because it reinforces Math and allows my students to SEE how they are doing as a group. My hopes are that they will encourage one another to do their best on each and every test. I have a bar graph and a line graph for three subjects. If all goes well this year, I will do this for each subject next year. </div>

First of all, THIS PICTURE IS BLURRY!!! If you know me at all, you know that this kills me. I didn't realize it until I loaded it into my computer, and at that point...I figured, who really cares?! I hope I'm right about that one, lol. So this is my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Writing-Center-Grades-3-6-853834" target="_blank">Interactive Writing Center</a>, as well as my Science Corner. I have had AMAZING success with my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Writing-Center-Grades-3-6-853834" target="_blank">Writing Center</a>, as have hundreds of other teachers. I highly recommend taking a look at it if you're wanting to improve your student's ability to write AND to show them just how much fun writing can be! </div>

This is nothing special, but I try to use as much of my space as an opportunity to learn as possible. I teach fifth grade and punctuation is something that my students really struggle with.

Well, that's that, folks! I truly have so much more that I need to blog about...I just need more time in the day! I am going to be featuring some of my fellow coworker's classrooms this coming week, so be sure to check back for those. THEY ARE ADORABLE!! Another post that I want to have is about some really great resources that are available to teachers that you may not necessarily know about. FOLLOW me, so that you get notified about those in the next couple of weeks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you all had a great start to your school year!! I can't wait to show you what we have been up to in 309...just know that it may be a day or two after it actually happens! Ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a great weekend and Labor Day!</div>

Ha! What can I say? I'm a visual type of gal! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
One word. <b><span style="color: magenta;">O</span>-<span style="color: red;">R</span>-<span style="color: orange;">G</span>-<span style="color: #6aa84f;">A</span>-<span style="color: blue;">N</span>-<span style="color: magenta;">I</span>-<span style="color: red;">Z</span>-<span style="color: orange;">A</span>-<span style="color: #6aa84f;">T</span>-<span style="color: blue;">I</span>-<span style="color: magenta;">O</span>-<span style="color: red;">N</span>!</b>!! Yes, that's the one! :) So, I've lost track of the amount of man hours that I have put into this one, folks...I'm thinking AT LEAST 60+ hours on this binder alone! I'm STILL going at it, as I wrap up the odds and ends for you guys. Here's the thing...I will say, BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT...that I am SUPER proud of this one! <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
My very first binder was created last spring. This will make #8...but what a mighty one it will be! I have made some AMAZING updates, after listening to suggestions, feedback, and conversations with HUNDREDS of teachers...so I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that I have it 110% right for all of you this year. FOUR words to give you a <i>hint</i>...Editable, Video, PDF, and Checklists. Figure it out? Well, you'll be finding out this week...so stay tuned!! Until then...take a peek at a few pictures. I JUST picked the copies up from Staples and put a couple of my covers into my binders on my dining room table, so excuse the candlelight lighting on a couple of these, ha! I just COULDN'T help myself!!! I had to share!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ONE LAST THING!! I should mention that I have <b>7 other themes</b> at a <span style="color: magenta;"><b>DISCOUNTED</b></span> price right now in <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Joey-Udovich" target="_blank">MY SHOP</a>...but that will soon change when the updates I made to this binder are put into those, as well...so if you're interested, I would suggest snagging them at the discounted price, as the price will certainly change in the near future. </div>

It doesn't happen as often as I'd like, but EVERY now and then...it does! I have done this with my students a couple of times over the years and it has really worked out so well each time. :) I call it "Constellation Math." <br />
<br />

Overall, it's super simple and extremely effective lesson in teaching angles to your kiddos! :)<br />
<br />
First, find, print, and enlarge the size of a bunch of constellations. I made sure to have a variety that ranged from simple to complex, so that I could maintain a basic level for my struggling students, while still challenging my more advanced students. :)<br />
<br />
Next, I had the students choose a constellation of their choice and trace it with a black Sharpie onto white construction paper. We added some "stars" to each angle, named each, and then got to work with our protractors. :)<br />
<br />
I started with a whole group demonstration on my Smart Board, using my HoverCam for a super close look at the process, then worked in small groups to get them started. I would say that 85% of my students dug right in and had no problems at all! 10% of them needed a little more guidance, then found independent success, and about 5% needed one-on-one support throughout the project. <br />
<br />
In the end...they all practiced, perfected, and learned a little more about angles! Mission. Accomplished. All the while...they're learning about the constellations...double score! Now that's a good lesson!<br />

Why??! Well, folks, our state exams are OVER!! Woo hoo!! Now, let's cross our fingers (and our toes) in hopes that our results will be just as exciting. What a crazy time in a teacher and student's life. No matter how much you prepare your kids throughout the school year, there really does seem to be an inevitable CrUnCh time! I am so proud of my students. I have a truly wonderful, sweet group of kids this year. I promised each of them that there would be more time for projects after our exams, so I am living up to that promise with a few FUN and creative activities that you'll be seeing over the next week. :) So here's a look at our first one. <br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello to all of you amazing and hard working teachers out there! Today we are going to shake things up a bit. Instead of talking about the 3 R's...Reading, wRiting and aRithmetic we are going to take a moment to discuss the 3 F's...Fashion, Fabulous-ness and Fendi! Hmmm... let's swap Fendi out with aFFordable, or Fit, or maybe Fresh? You get my point! My name is Anna and I am Joey's long lost, but newly found (Thank you social media) friend from high school! I met Joey in 9th grade. We both had huge hearts, a love of art, makeup, shopping and all things sparkly! We clicked instantly and although we attended rival schools we were joined at the hip for the next 4 years. We even decided to go to the same college together. To be honest I may not be where I am today if it weren't for Joey. She is the one who took me on a college tour to Mercyhurst where we checked out the fashion program together, applied, got accepted and bought matching lavender and powder blue EVERYTHING for our dorm room! Her true calling was to be a teacher, so she didn't stay and sadly we grew apart but God had her guide me there and my life wouldn't be the same without that guidance. So Thank you Joey and thank you God (Social Media can't get all the credit) for bringing us back together so many years later! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">I'd like to take a minute to tell you about myself so you can feel comfortable listening to fashion advice from a girl who wore a gold top and animal print spandex skirt to her high school graduation...(PS I totally pulled it off and got voted best dressed of my senior class..Joey can vouch!) I graduated from Mercyhurst College with a BS in Fashion Merchandising as well as an associate degree From FIT in New York City. I've been in the fashion industry for the past 10 years working as a production intern, assistant buyer, store manager and now a senior account executive at a luxury Swiss and Italian trim supplier here in the Big Apple. I work with designers like Oscar de la Renta, Calvin Klein, and Alexander Wang in which I help them create beautiful custom trims for their fashion lines. I've lived in New York for the past 8 years and I've also traveled to Paris and Italy a time or two. Although I work with these Fancy Shmancy designers I couldn't possibly afford to wear all of their clothes but I do a great job playing the part at a fraction of the cost. I also keep my wardrobe fashionable yet comfortable because I'm always traveling around the city and on my feet. Try walking on subway grates in heels...bad idea. So are you ready to trust me yet? Let's do this!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;">My purpose for this post is to walk you through</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><span style="color: magenta;"><b> 5 spring fashion trends</b></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px;"> that were seen all over the runways and "teach" you how to fit them into your every day school attire. The trends I chose include: Pastels, Wide Leg Pants, Geometric Prints, Black and White, and Floral. These will carry over easily from the runway to the classroom and are flexible enough to take you to happy hour or into the weekend. I steered clear from other spring trends like crop tops, white on white, and see-through sheer fabrics which weren't so classroom appropriate. (I mean, if you feel the need to rock a sheer white crop top to a party over the weekend by all means, go for it, just don't post pics on Facebook and definitely don't tell anyone I gave you that piece of fashion advice! lol) Anyway, it's been a LONG winter and I'm sure you are just as eager as I am to break out your dresses and sandals so let's get started and hopefully I can add a little spring to your step when you walk into your classroom these next few months, even if you are just making up snow days! </span></span><br />

without shades of baby pink, pale yellow and soft greens and blues?! The
runways were swarming with these heatherd hues and I couldn’t be more
excited! After hiding from the Vortex in
dark sweaters and heavy coats I’m ready to lighten up! To freshen the look mix
and match pastels like DKNY did or pair it with neutrals like a smokey gray as
seen by Rebecca Taylor…My favorite is adding a pop of an unexpected bright color
like kelly green or coral!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Finally after all of these months our
legs are FREE! Bare legs, skirts, dresses, and wide leg trousers have made their
way back into our wardrobes! I know you are used to your skinny jeans and
leggings but a breezy wide leg is flattering on so many different body shapes
and are a great alternative to dresses since they give you that same airy feeling.
My tall teachers can wear them with long tunics and a cinched belt or tuck in a
contrasting colored blouse and pair with flats. My teachers in the vertically
challenged club, including myself, should buy a higher waist pant or do a
monochromatic look with the same color top as the pant to elongate their torsos
and pair with a comfortable heel. Keep
it neutral with Khaki or gray like Marni and Michael Kors or dare to be
different like my muse, Chanel , in pretty pastels! <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Let’s see
if I can remember anything I learned from 8<sup>th</sup> grade Geometry class...
Triangles are 3 sided, Squares are 4 sided, Circles have no sides, but you my
friend, have an infamous amount of sides! Express ALL of your sides with these
beautiful shapes of spring! Geometrics were seen on the spring runways in
numerous sizes, colors and combinations. Use what I have already taught you and
go for pastel hexagons or black and white polka dots. This is a trend you can
have a lot of fun with so get crazy and enjoy it! You’ve earned it…fair and
“square!” (giggle) <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I know I’ve been preaching color for spring
but you can’t get anymore crisp and clean than this classic color combo! I live
in New York therefore 97% of my wardrobe is black. Something tells me that a lot of you may have
this same magnetism toward black clothing. If that’s the case, this trend is
easy because you probably already own pieces that you can combine and BOOM…spring
trend #3 is conquered without even leaving the house! Or, if you need an excuse
to shop (I mean who doesn’t?) jazz up your go to black dress with a new white
blazer…oooorrr just splurge and buy EVERYTHING new! (Guilt be gone! Consider
anything black or white investment pieces! The cost per wear will pay off, I
promise!) If you need to add a splash of
color… DO IT! Add a bright accessory like a citrus shoe or (here we go again with the pastels) a touch of blush pink
like Rag and Bone did on the runway. <o:p></o:p></div>

I am NOT big on stripes. They look great on a hanger but 90%
of the time they look far less flattering on. If you aren’t 6 foot and 135 lbs
wear stripes sparingly or across safe areas of your body. This shift dress is
slimming because the stripes are at the bottom. Wear with tights or bare legs
and flats or ankle boots. </div>

Do you know the feeling of pure excitement when you
finally see that tiny purple crocus popping out from the cold damp earth in the
early weeks of spring? I LOVE that feeling! To me, that flower is telling me
that warm, sunny days are ahead which puts a HUGE smile on my face. Why not put
a smile on YOUR face and add a little, or a lot of floral print into your
spring wardrobe. There is no rule on what flower to wear this spring or where the
placement should be. Floral dresses, blouses and skirts are probably the most
common but you can also show off those posies with a poppy printed skinny pant
or an abstract bouquet on a jacket like the designers showed on the runway.
Floral handbags and shoes are also fun and unexpected or wrap yourself in a
tropical printed scarf. The options are endless. Channel your inner flower
power and watch yourself bloom!<o:p></o:p></div>

I'm Melissa from <a href="http://commoncoreandsomuchmore.com/"><span style="font-size: large;">Common Core & So Much More</span></a> and I'm so excited to take part in this swap with Joey! We have both collaborated, shared ideas, and have been so supportive of each other in the past, and thought it would be fun to do a blog swap to share five organizational tools in our classrooms. </div>

I use them a few times of week to put in centers or to play Scoot as a whole class. Those little cards can easily become misplaced or damaged if not stored correctly. In the past, I've always put them in plastic baggies, but the baggies would tear, they wouldn't close, and it just became a huge mess. This year, during back to school time, I picked up EVERY plastic notecard holder Walmart had in stock. They come in a few different sizes, but I got the small one for my cards. They fit nicely inside the sturdy plastic case and snap shut. I have just a basic label on front so I can easily find what I need. That blue bin is where I keep them all. I have 10 in various colors that I found at the dollar section of Target. </div>

Now, I know this is not a genius idea by any means, but I do feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders when I meet with my small groups each day. Sometimes, my students and I work on our interactive notebooks or do close reading activities. It's always really nice to have all the supplies right there instead of having the kids search their desk for what they need. It definitely cuts down on the transition time. Inside the mini crate, I have scissors, highlighters, thin markers for underlining, crayons, and glue. The students know that these supplies are only for guided reading and they're not allowed to pick through it throughout the day, or I'd have nothing left for our small groups. :)<br />

I made this teacher's toolbox over the summer to keep all those little supplies organized instead of having them clutter my desk drawers. It makes it so easy for me to find what I need. I also really love how the drawers come out. On Fridays, I lay out all of the papers I copied for the next week, pull out the paperclip drawer, and lay everything out on my big table. I decide what I am going to do each day, put the paperclip on each set of papers, and file it away for later use. I also find myself pulling the drawer out for the push pins a lot so I can take it with me as I hang things. If you would like <b>FREE </b>templates for these drawers and would like to read a tutorial on how I made it and where I bought the supplies, you can click <b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.commoncoreandsomuchmore.com/2013/07/teachers-toolbox-tutorial.html">HERE</a> </span></b>to read more about it on my blog. <br />

I absolutely love my assignment drawers! I think I got them from Target about 6 years ago and have been a huge life saver. Whenever a student needs to turn in classwork or homework, they have to put it in the correct drawer and all facing the same direction. This makes it super easy for me to find and grade without having stacks of papers visible for all to see. These drawers are about 12"x12" so even larger pieces of paper and half sheets of construction paper fit well inside. These drawers also stack nicely if you wanted to save valuable counter space, but my third graders wouldn't be able to reach it it they were stacked. Now, even though these drawers are labelled, and I tell my students which drawer to put their work in after they complete it, I can guarantee I will have a student who finishes their math test and puts it in the spelling drawer...or have students come up to me with their spelling homework and ask which drawer to turn it into. SMH.<br />

My last tip actually stems from my deep dislike of paper. I really cannot seem to keep file folders, binders, or any other type of organizational tool meant to hold millions of papers organized. File folders just become a disaster. I will hole punched papers out of binders and forget to put them back. For this reason, I'm a digital girl. Everything I create, purchase, or find online is saved in neat little folders on my desktop where I can print an original, copy it, and not have to worry about putting it back. With that said, there are some papers that I have had for years that I just don't want to spend my time scanning into my computer. For these, I grab a binder and hole punch some really nice, sturdy folders that won't tear. This is a picture of my math binder. Each folder holds two units worth of papers that I use for exit slips and enrichment. I have, over time, made this work for me. I don't have to worry about taking them in and out from the hole punch. I don't have to worry about having a loose file folder in a drawer that needs to be filed back in the same place after taking it out. I can just easily look through the stack of papers without taking them out of the folder, grab what I need, and put it back after I copy...if I remember.<br />

If you don't already follow my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Common-Core-And-So-Much-More"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Teachers Pay Teachers</span></b> </a>store, please come check it out! I have a lot of resources for you to use in your classroom. Some of my most popular products happen to be my reading fluency passages. I currently have them for grades 1-4 and are leveled by the CCSS Lexile levels for each grade. Each passage contains three components - A teacher passage with numbered columns and a chart to record words correct and errors. There is also a study copy which has a larger font for students to read off of while you record on the teacher's copy. Lastly, there are reading comprehension sheets that contain three questions in short answer format. In addition to the passages, I also included graphs for the students to record their cold and hot read to keep track of their progress and a weekly parent reading log. If you're interested in taking a closer look, I have a <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Fluency-Sample-Passages-FREEBIE-1085010"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>FREEBIE </b></span></a> that has a passage and comprehension page for each grade level. I also have a <span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/1st-2nd-3rd-4th-Grade-BUNDLE-90-Reading-Fluency-and-Comprehension-Passages-916325">BUNDLE </a></b></span> of these passages (you can still buy them separately). This makes it the ultimate tool for differentiating the reading fluency practice in your classroom!<br />

Is it REALLY <span style="color: orange;"><b>November </b></span>already?! Let me just say that October flew by with work, life, and party planning! I always throw a huge Halloween party for my girls, and this year...it was awesome! Sooo, even though I have had things to post about, I truly haven't had much time to sit down. I don't know about any of you, but I'm the type of person that is a little OCD and gets lost in the details. I can't just blog about nothing, unless it's a super quick spare of the moment giveaway!

These were super simple and quick to make. I just drew them and painted them. The eyes were created from paper plates, at the suggestion of one of my coworkers...great idea! I made the arms, legs, and mouth from black construction paper, and the shoes were a group effort between myself and the same coworker that gave me the idea for the eyes. :) It's nice to have another creative mind around!</div>

Okay, let's see..what can I show you next? Let's look at what we are doing during our <b><span style="color: orange;">Daily 5</span></b> time! Which, I have to be honest...this is the first year that I started implementing Daily 5 into my classroom and I know the "sisters" would not approve! I am still ironing out the details...but for me, it's a GREAT option to incorporate into my weekly Reading routine AND the kids <span style="color: magenta;"><b>LOVE</b></span> it!!!</div>

This is our <b>small group time</b>. I call up my students in groups of four and five and work with them on various Reading and Language Arts skills. I have even done this for Math, and I have to be honest...it's wonderful! Our classes are typically somewhere between 23-26 students, so to break that down and focus on individual needed skills...goooooood stuff!</div>

You'll see that we get quite comfortable in my room. Pretty much anything goes as far as where they want to sit to work on what they're doing. These girls are <b>PARTNER READING</b> under my front table. I make sure that they are checking for comprehension after each page. Their discussions are really wonderful...very proud of them!</div>

<b>Word Work...</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use our weekly spelling words for this part of the Daily 5. My kids do SOOO much with this one! Three things that we do are use the magnetic letters to spell the words. Another thing that we do is use ABC letter beads to string the letters and create words onto pipe cleaners (this is their favorite...)!! They also have dry erase packs to write one and wipe off their words, while their partner quizzes them.</div>

Let's just start by saying that I LOVE technology! There are a couple of things that I can't get enough of...my <span style="background-color: yellow;">Smart Board</span> AND my <span style="background-color: cyan;">Hovercam</span>! My kids use the Smart Board all the time to do interactive academic games. Learning has become so much fun!! No child should ever say "I don't want to go to school." School is wonderful...here are a couple of my kiddos "playing."</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
During our time studying Native American tribes, my kiddos learned about Plains Indians. We talked about the nomadic Plains Indians and their use of tepees for shelter. I create a tepee each year and teach my students about Native American symbols and sign language and how these were forms of communication for each of the tribes. They get to choose a Native American symbol that they feel best represents themselves and then paint it onto the side of the tepee. They LOVE it! I use this as a reward in my classroom. They can't wait to see who gets to go into the tepee each day!</div>

I spent some time seeing two of my students doing something that they LOVE! One is an avid dirt bike racer and the other is fabulous at 4-H! It was so much fun spending time with them outside of school. I also had a girl from my class travel all the way to the Alamo in Texas to compete in a national shooting competition! Way to go, kids!</div>

I have always been the type of person to over-think whatever it is I am doing. I really do annoy myself at times, because in the end it results in me taking FOR--EEE--VEER to do anything in its entirety! Aaanyhow, that's something that I'm trying to work on, but with two kids, a husband, a house, a busy career, and a demanding second job (TpT)...it's no wonder that some things take longer than others, right? <br />
<br />
So I'm few weeks into my school year, so these pictures show some not-so-perfect flaws if you take a closer look at them. I want to begin by<i><span style="color: blue;"> flashing back</span></i> to May. I drew these pictures while I was brainstorming what I wanted my classroom to look like in the fall. I don't know about you, but at the end of the year, I am itching to tear everything down (especially after a challenging year) and start from scratch! My ONLY regret is that I don't have before pictures to show you. I'm sorry...<br />

Sooo, most of my plans stuck. Some of them changed. I basically map out where my bulletin boards are, make lists of what I think my kids really need to focus on and what will help them do better throughout the year, make my tentative seating chart, like you can see here. However, that DID change! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This was the first year that I used fade-less paper for decorating. I <b><span style="color: red;">L</span><span style="color: magenta;">O</span><span style="color: purple;">V</span><span style="color: red;">E</span></b> fabric for my bulletin boards! As for the front of my desk, I have always found a really cute scrapbooking paper that I liked and just tiled it to the front of my desk, added border, and some words. Honestly, the scrapbooking paper is MUCH more durable than these fade-less rolls. It doesn't rip and tear like the rolls. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I set my kiddos up into pods this year. I don't write their names on their nameplates for a couple of weeks. This gives me time to easily move my students around. It's easier to move the kid...rather than the desk! I also started using a <b><span style="color: lime;">w</span><span style="color: blue;">o</span><span style="color: magenta;">r</span><span style="color: orange;">d </span><span style="color: red;">w</span><span style="color: lime;">a</span><span style="color: blue;">l</span><span style="color: magenta;">l</span></b> in my room for my fifth graders this year. You can see that in the right side of this picture on my cupboards. Instead of asking me how to spell a word, they use the dictionary and write the correct spelling on a strip of paper and tape it under its matching beginning letter. I am working on a great project right now that will an "at your seat" approach and spin off to my word wall. That will be posted this week, so stay tuned in for that!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I have to be honest, I created my own "Daily 5" activities for my kiddos. In a hurry to take these pictures before my kiddos came, I didn't realize that this bulletin board wasn't all the way up! Oops! I will be adding a coordinate grid to my "Interactive Math" bulletin board. The large ruler that you see in between the boards can be found <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/How-to-Use-a-Ruler-101-558104" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Okay, let's focus on what that picture was really about...my teacher toolbox! <i>Here's what you need to know:</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">I bought my toolbox at the Home Depot. It was a steel blue when I bought it and then spray painted it a matte black. It looks just like a chalkboard!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: magenta; font-size: large;">I used scrapbooking paper for the drawers, by simply cutting them to size and taping to secure on the INSIDE of the drawers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I used black glitter stick on letters for labeling. I LOVE them!! I found those at Michael's. Of course, right?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">The pencils were also found in the scrapbooking section of Michael's. I stuck these to the outside...just because I thought they were cute and added a little something extra to my project!</span></div>

They make learning so much more than an observation...students are now working with the content, explaining, thinking critically, and then applying it to these notebooks. Good stuff!! I will be creating a blog post just on these tools very soon...you won't want to miss it! Thank you Nicole Roberts Shelby and Jennifer Runde! Great girls with great products. xo!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I got word that this great rug was at IKEA, so off I went!! I had never been there before, so when I loaded a chair onto my 1/2 cart (if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about) from the showroom...everyone looked at me like I had 3 heads! My sister and I finally figured out why, lol. Remember to grab a pencil and checklist when you go to IKEA, first time IKEA shoppers!</span></div>

This school year is off to a great start! I love my students and my classroom. People wonder why some teachers spend so much time and energy decorating our classrooms, well, for me it's a way of coming to school and enjoying my time there. My students both past and present walk in and their eyes light up the first time they see it. I hope to inspire them and motivate them to learn! I know that my classroom inspires me. :) </div>

Okay, before we create give me a second to wipe the dust off of this blog... Much better! As you can clearly see, it's been a looooong time since I have posted on my blog. I really do have a great reason, but to be honest, I would have to write a book to fully explain why. Just trust me...my life needed me more than my blog did. HOWEVER...I'm baaack! Wo<span style="background-color: white;">o</span> hoo!! I am super excited to share my classroom creations and upcoming classroom with you guys! It's amazing how much time and money we teachers spend on our classroom and our students. Money aside, I get SuPeR excited to have a fresh start! I have met SOOO many educators since January from ALL around the world, and to say the least...I am inspired! I don't know that I have ever gone into a school year with such an excitement to get started and to try new things! So thank you to all of my TpT buddies that I have met...love you guys so much!<br />

I bought acrylic paint for the project, some new paint brushes, and some paint marker pens. After I cleaned the table off, I decided that it would be easier to paint if it were upside down. Why??...I don't know...I just felt like it would be easier! :) So here it is flipped, prepped, and with an old sheet under it, as not to get acrylic paint on our beautiful hardwood. :)</div>

Before I painted the legs all of the pretty colors, I painted them white first. I think it's a better idea to paint color on white rather than black. So here's what that looked like.</div>

In the midst of painting the legs of the table, my wheels continued to turn. This time...it was focused on the top of the table. What you're seeing is just me experimenting...no one would see this...but I figured it was a good idea to practice before I did the real deal! I came up with the idea of putting educationally related words around the top of the table in white marker paint. Here's my practicing in progress...</div>

It really was super simple to do, especially since it was already painted...but I really love how it turned out! I am going to be using this for my listening center in my classroom.

Oh wait a minute...that was just my million ideas for next year's classroom floating around in my head! I had a moment within the last month of school where I looked at my room and decided that it was getting a complete overhaul! The "change bus" was pulling into the station and I was getting on. So many things inspire me and I can look at 500 different classrooms on Pinterest, but I always come back to me. So what does that mean? Well, after much thought on how I would approach my new found classroom changes, I decided that no matter what happened...color was the word of the day. <b><span style="color: lime;">C</span><span style="color: blue;">O</span><span style="color: magenta;">L</span><span style="color: orange;">O</span><span style="color: #f1c232;">R</span></b>!! So that's just what I did...with a little black and white polka dot accent to it. <br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here we go...</div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;"><b>Step 1 of "room overhaul" </b></span>- draw up the blueprints, of course! Yes, folks, the once-upon-a-time "Art Club President" still draws, but now instead of doing it for Yum Yum Donut's windows, I am doing it for my classroom! Here are a couple of very rough sketches, but this is how I started...</div>

Let me just say this. If you want QUALITY printing and laminating that pretty much transforms your projects into plastic...get it done professionally! I did spend quite a fortune this week...around $80 to be exact...on copying and laminating my projects, but at the end of the day, it was worth it! The color just pops and the durability can NOT be matched! Let's not mention the fact that I was at the Staples counter top for <b>an hour</b> cutting out my project piece by piece - 27 pages - multiple items on each page -- and then laminated them -- and then had to cut them out <b>AGAIN</b>! It BETTER be worth it! Here's a look at some stuff that I had competed:</div>

Here's a bulletin board that I worked on today. I spent three hours last night making those little owls out of felt, thread, and glue for this tree! I'm sooo glad that I did! They turned out pretty cute if you ask me. :) So the concept behind this tree is to "Grow while we learn." Every time we learn, practice, and master a new Common Core Standard, a leaf will be placed on the tree with that standard on it! I am going to try to make the leaves available for every grade level by the end of summer. If you're interested, be sure to follow my TpT store. This is a great way to get updates on my latest products. You will be notified as soon as they are made.</div>

I was tired of looking at the same boring clipart and colors, so I jazzed it up a bit and made it my own! What you don't see are the playing cards, student star labels, and little bit more... ;) </div>

I found this dry erase calendar at TJ Maxx the other day for $14! I didn't add my own pictures, but I think it's a great alternative for a calendar! :) Don't mind the dirty fingerprints on the frame...or the photos that came with the frame, lol. All of that will be in tip top shape come August.</div>

Well, I hope you enjoyed taking a sneak peek into my classroom for the fall! I am "on fire" with ideas and can not wait for my next group of kiddos to come move on in! It's going to be a wonderful year. :)</div>
