Every year, I make a class playlist. Each student tells me their favorite song and I add them to a playlist. I love it! There are songs I hear now and I think, "oh that is _______'s song." Many songs, I know and don't worry about content/lyrics. This year I had a handful of girls chose Ariana Grande songs. I read through the lyrics...no bad words and then I started thinking about the message some of the songs were sending and decided to let the class decide. I put the lyrics on the projector and we read them...not sang them and immediately the kids were not fans of having the songs on our playlist. It was an interesting thing to notice that when you take the tune away...you are really able to focus on what the song is saying. <br />
<br />
The lightbulb....we are beginning our study into themes in literature...and there was clearly a message in the songs we were looking up. SO this week we are studying the themes in some popular songs before we dive into literature.<br />
<br />
The kids loved it. We did are starting our study with Frozen's Let It Go. We read the lyrics and watched the sing-along video version. Then I printed the lyrics out for everyone.<br />

We finished up a mixed media art project today. It turned out better than I expected and I always love that! Last Friday we traced and designed our hands using lines and shape zentangles. <br />

One of my favorite stories to read aloud is <u>Martina, the Beautiful Cockroach</u>. It is a Cuban folktale about a cockroach on her 21st <i>day</i> has to choose to give her <i>leg </i> in marriage:-) Martina's grandmother tells her to use the coffee test on any potential suitor to see their true colors. <br />

After we finished reading it, we started to think about how we choose who our closest friends are. I had students come up with a test that they could use to see how people would react to them. <br />

Many are still working on creating their test. Interesting conversations came up about what would be requirements for a friend. Some students wanted to make a test that was about whether or not someone else was just like them. So we talked about how maybe our friends don't have to be just like us or like the exact same things.<br />
<br />
Anyway my class loved it and my Spanish speakers were so glad to help me read the Spanish words interspersed into the story. If possible, find a copy that comes with a CD audio version...also fun to listen to.<br />

This is my 12th year of teaching. I made it through about 3 months before the mess of desks drove me crazy. In my district class size just goes up and up; tables have saved some of my sanity with the 30+ kids. Shinguards would be required for moving around. So I thought I would share some of how I organize all the stuff my chickadees use on a daily basis.<br />

This is where students store projects and papers they are not finished with. They also have mile marker cards (a track walking/running recess thing) and other personal items. Many of my glasses wearing students keep their cases in this space.<br />

Supplies-<br />
All supplies, besides pencils, are stored on the counter. Students grab what they need and take it back to their table. I also have three tubs of extras if they can't find the color they need or if someone else in the group is already using it.<br />

Binders, Folders, and Spirals-<br />
This summer my roommate was getting rid of the two binder holding shelves....and I think they have found a perfect new home. Each student has a binder with dividers for each subject. (This is a new thing for me this year....I will let you know how I feel about it at the end of the year.) They also keep their folders for math work on these shelves and spirals for their writing journals. One side has the girls' stuff and the others has the boys'.<br />

We did my favorite lesson about three types of readers....pretender, dutiful, or engaged. You can read more about it <a href="http://chickadeejubilee.blogspot.com/2011/12/3-kinds-of-readers.html" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="http://chickadeejubilee.blogspot.com/2013/07/throwback-thursday-3-types-of-readers.html" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="http://chickadeejubilee.blogspot.com/2013/01/engaged-dutiful-or-pretend-readers.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The kids LOVE and ask to "practice" again. I tell them they get to "practice" everyday!</div>

One of my favorite lessons during the beginning of the year is about treating books carefully like your favorite Christmas ornament. I start off by telling kids about the "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornaments my brother and I had. Then share the horrific story of how we were playing I-Spy and the hidden object was hidden in the tree. During the fight over who found the toy first, my brother's "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament fell off the tree and shattered. No matter how hard my mom tried that ornament wasn't going back together. I then give kids time to talk with a partner about what their favorite Christmas tree ornament is and then tie the whole story to our classroom books. We want them to last for lots of people to read, not just this class but many classes to come. This week students have been designing a Christmas ornament that has a tip for readers who want to keep their books as nice as their favorite ornament!</div>

Our school's theme is perseverance....again a word I do not like because of its missing r. We have been having lots of fun learning about what it is and what it looks like. Last week we read <u>The Most Mignificent Thing</u> and watched a video about the creator of Lego. You can read about that <a href="http://chickadeejubilee.blogspot.com/2014/09/five-for-friday-finally.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Today we did a great lesson from a blog that pinterest helped me find. Check her original idea <a href="http://chickadeejubilee.blogspot.com/2014/09/five-for-friday-finally.html" target="_blank">here</a>. We started off by eating a Warhead...that candy that starts out super sour, but after 30 seconds is actually sweet. Almost everyone persevered through the first 30 second. The faces were hilarious. Then we described the experience and the two students who spit the candy out thought they should try again. Then we pulled out <u>Horton Hatches an Egg</u> and students shared how the the book and the activity were similar. My last question was why are we spending so much time thinking and learning about perseverance? And then we went on to math...today there were far less groans....maybe they are learning to persevere...a little:-)</div>

Our school theme is perseverance. (I can't tell you how much it bothers me that the spelling of the word seems to be missing the letter r!) Anyway we read <u>The Most Magnificent Thing</u> and watched <a href="http://imaginationsoup.net/2012/08/creativity-the-lego-story/" target="_blank">The Lego Story</a> and then had a great discussion about perseverance and how the book and video showed that trait. </div>

But I wanted kids more involved in the creating it. So I split the class into 2 groups and had each group work on half the chart. Then we came back together and added any other ideas that we might have missed. It was great....although a bit a girl drama had us have a mini session about how to work together and lead vs. boss.</div>

We are into our second week of school....so fun learning all kinds of new procedures and guidelines! This week we are focusing on the classroom library. There are a LOT of books in our classroom....picture books, easy readers, beginning chapter books, and middle grade reads. Kids have a hard time getting books put back, so I thought I would give them a resource. First I showed them a powerpoint explaining each section of the library. We discussed as we went along. Then they each had to take a "test". They were given a book and had to return it to the library. Students who correctly returned the book were given a "license to read" and thought they were pretty fabulous. (Everyone got lots of mulligans when returning books, so we are now all licensed readers.) Maybe you would like to know how to be a licensed reader in B-7!</div>

<span style="text-align: left;">So there are not words for how great it is when the two grades before you teach versions of Daily 5. We made it to 20 minutes of read to self without stopping in just three days. So great! Before they got started I told them I was going to look for great examples of readers that I could take photos of. They were great. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Then I sent the pictures to get magically printed and picked them up. The next day, we did a little mini-lesson on non-fiction features. I gave each student their picture and they glued it onto construction paper. Finally they labeled the picture with what Great Readers Do....</span></div>

3rd grade is growing on me....one of the things that takes up a huge amount of space on the wall but doesn't seem to be very interactive or a tool for the students it was created for. Here is a picture of my old <a href="http://chickadeejubilee.blogspot.com/2011/11/word-wall-update.html" target="_blank">Word Wall</a>. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I loved the colors. I loved the student done words. I did not love that once the word was up, it was never referred to. Then I stumbled across <a href="http://mrs3rdgrade07.blogspot.com/2014/08/day-2-little-about-my-room.html" target="_blank">Mrs. 3rd Grade's Blog</a> and found some inspiration.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Each letter on the word wall is portable. SO clever! We can add words I purposefully choose. We can add words students frequently use and need to refer to. We can add words we find as we read. My next step was figuring out where I would put such a thing. All the walls I had left were low and in frequently traffic-ed places where they probably wouldn't last too long. I do have lots of giant windows and spent the afternoon trying to figure out how to make them work. I love the 3M hooks, but didn't want the back of the window to look messy with 26 little hooks showing through the other side. Then my aha came! <br />

After moving this summer, I had a leftover curtain rod and hooks. I grabbed a couple of the bigger 3M hooks for the ends of the of the curtain rod. Attached to each clip is a loose leaf ring. Then I made a cover letter for each stack of blank paper and throughout the year we will add to it! I can't wait to see this in action!<br />

That phrase perfectly describes how I feel about books and I want so badly for my students to KNOW the it is true! So I copied her phrase and made it into a banner for my reading area.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
I am interrupting my reading marathon to join the teacher blogger linky party. I shouldn't....in order to complete my summer book-a-day challenge, I need to finish my last 16 books by Monday! Anyway I love this week of linky parties. I get to learn about a bunch of new bloggers and sneak inside classrooms across the county...so cool! <br />

Oregon is my home. I have lived just outside of Portland my entire life. I love the rainy days and the weird things that go on in Portland....as long as I don't have to participate:-) I have an adorable lhasa apso named Reese...who is not going to be happy next week adjusting to back to school schedules.<br />
<br />
This will be my 12th year teaching. (My first class of 1st graders are seniors!) During the past 12 years, I have taught 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and a couple years with 2/3 blends. I honestly don't know if I have a favorite....but I do really enjoy reading with 3rd graders.<br />

When I was growing up, my grandmas had a giant jar full of fun shaped or colored soap. I now have her jar and have started my own collection of soap. <br />

Find a copy of <u>The Book Whisperer</u> and <u>Reading in the Wild</u> and read them. Then come back and join the summer book study for <u>Reading in the Wild</u>. <br />

The first chapter is about dedicating time to read....not just in your classroom, but in everyday life. I really like what Donalyn calls, "Edge times". Read when you wait for the car people, read when you are at a siblings soccer practice, etc. I love the idea of having kids come up with a list of places that may provide "edge times". Oh my gosh...could an edge time be waiting in line at recess? (Could I give up control and let them take a book outside) Something to think about..... Last summer, while in New York, the 30 minutes Subway ride was my daily edge time in the midst of a busy vacation. <br />
<br />
Kids could also share about how to make edge times happen. Do they make sure they always have a book with them...in the car, in their bag. They take their ipods everywhere...do they have a reading app on it? Books at their fingertips. My purse buying criteria always involves whether or not it can hold at least one book. <br />
<br />
Chapter 1 Application to Classroom:<br />
Anchor Charts-<br />
"Where Can Readers Read...for a Long While?"<br />
"Where Can Readers Read...for a Short While (Edge Time)?"<br />
"What Tools Do Readers Need to Read During Edge Times?"<br />
<br />
What do you think? When to you cram in some reading time? What are your reading plans this summer?<br />
<br />
Happy Thursday,<br />

The Math and Literature series by Marilyn Burns is one of my favorite math teaching tools. The book suggests books and lessons that tie math and story together. Kids come up with al kinds of ideas to explain because they have such an unstructured way to respond to the math prompt. The story form gets kids who often get stuck a different way to think about math concepts. </div>

Every week, students have to turn in their journals. Five students each day, so I don't end up with 29 all at once to get back to them! Recently, I went to an amazing conference with Mary Ehrenworth...so great! She inspired me to add creativity to our Reading Response Journals. I showed my students some examples. They searched for ideas and we brainstormed them. Here is the awesome-ness that was found-<br>

<br />
To trying and at least get some practice with the stuff we haven't learned yet, we have been using expert groups. They are not my own creation, it is a modified version of something from GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design). I have never used expert groups with math before. Usually a small group studies something then shares out. For example, during science we are studying birds. Groups worked together to learn about different bird habitats, then shared with rest of class.<br />

I thought why couldn't something like this happen with math.<br />
<br />
Here is what we have been doing-<br />
Friday-Students are chosen to be expert group leaders. (Before Monday I figure out what I want them to do.)<br />
Monday-we have a "working lunch meeting." I go over the three or four concepts I want the class to work on. They choose the one they feel most comfortable teaching. <br />
Monday-Share their lesson with two groups of studnets<br />
Tuesday-Share their lesson with two groups of students.<br />
<br />
Then we repeat the process with new groups on Wednesday and Thursday. <br />
So far we have gone through the process twice. <br />

She will make a canvas customizable for whatever events are in your future....a baby shower, teacher appreciation, friend/family birthday...you think it she can create it. You pick the background, the words, etc. and she will masterfully put it together on a 10x10 sized canvas.<br />

One of my favorite things about teaching 1st grade was all the really fun units that drove the year. Then I moved to second and while we still had units it just didn't have the same feel as first grade. This year is my first year teaching a straight 3rd grade (the past couple have been blends). I was determined to find units that would be new, fun, and include the academic stuff too. We started with Bears....I have a bunch of pics that I need to get into a post. We have now moved onto Forces and Motion. Last year we did this unit in mini-form. It is one of my favorites! Thought I would share some of the work we have done so far. </div>

Inside our file, we keep two books. The journal is for any writing, thinking, and ahas we have during our experiments. The data log is for recording our experiment information.<br />

Before we could begin our experiments, we had to set some standards so that everyone tested their ramp with the same experiments. That way each outcome had a "fair" chance to win.<br />

3. "Clubs" Clubs make everything cooler! We have a "Work Done Club", and a "Homework Club". We just added "Series Club". Read 5 or more books in a series and you add you name to the wall. "Double Dog Dare Challenge" If you are a boy...read a book with a girl main character and vice versa. </div>

5. I gave pairs of students a math packet to review multiplication and division. They each had a colored marker and completed the math packet. They could work together, but this way I could make sure they worked equally.</div>
