Literacy Lessons in KC
I loved this lesson! We went back to two very familiar Nancy Carlson books and went on a Punctuation Scavenger Hunt. We noticed that she didn't have many questions marks. I asked the group what kind of book do you think we would find questions mark...a reader in the group responded nonfiction. This week we will do this again with a nonfiction book.

Teaching With Terhune
To keep the anchor charts that I have been teaching out on display I have added a space in the back of my classroom to display them. I have hot glued clothes pins to the wall so I can easily clip them up and change them out to keep them on display. Since I have started to make more and more anchor charts I had to think of a way to store them. I have used hooks and hangers to hang them up. I also printed out labels to easily find the charts I am looking for.

Asking VS. Telling Sentences - Sea of Knowledge
So the other day, one of my ESL students was still struggling to tell the difference between an asking sentence and a telling one. I looked up a few resources to help him, although I thought I wanted to expand on this and maybe explain commanding and exclaiming sentences. There weren’t many resources on the […]
