I took the plunge last year and ditched the text books! And I am so glad that I did! The year before we were required to use the text books.

Students love Junie B. Jones novel studies! These activities take your readers through each chapter of each Junie B. Jones book! The reading responses are fun, include many reading skills and strategies, and are easy to implement in your elementary classroom! Use them small group, whole group, with reader's notebooks, and in literature circles.
The Beginning of Book Clubs in B13
My literacy blocks are beginning their first book clubs. They will be reading and discussing books in a series. They were supposed to do this unit back in November, but at that time my teammates and I thought it best to go ahead with the nonfiction unit instead.

Here are some of the pieces I have put in place to get us started...I will share more as the clubs progress. Each book…

I LOVED that idea!!! Since I’m such a big fan of book clubs, I decided to…

Anchor Chart Academy
Oh summer....you are far too wonderful! I have been enjoying my days playing with markers, colored pencils, and posters. Posters, posters, posters... This 150 hours of classroom work thing has been rather successful so far (80 hours down) as I prepare charts, decorations, and documents for myself and my coworkers. My circle cutter and I did some bonding way back in June, and I finally got those circles adhered to their respective posters. As promised: CHAMPS Posters! I've mentioned it…

Tuesday Teacher Tips: Documentation
If you teach two or more groups, I found that it was easier to keep all data separate in different colored notebooks. With Data Meetings and Parent Conferences held in locations other than my classroom, keeping everything neat and tidy in a file cabinet would no long work. All this and more Teacher Tips for Documentation.
