Reading Genre Posters

With Summer School in full bloom I haven't had as much time as I would like to work on making things for my classroom. I have been able to finally get my new reading genres posters made and have posted them to my TpT store!!

Guided Reading

I am going to be posting the next few days about my guided reading groups and what I do with them! First up is a break down of my time with each group. This past year I had 27 kids in my class so I had to break my guided reading groups into 5 separate groups. I don't call my groups by numbers because some of the kids are able to figure out which group is the higher group and which is my more lower group. I refer to my guided reading groups as North group, South group, West group, East group, and if I have more than 4 I add like Southwest group name in. I know as a teacher I wasn't always confident when I heard the words guided reading and trying to figure out how to balance how much time I should be spending with each group and what I should be doing with them. If you were like me I hope that this will help you out!!

Word Work

If you use Daily 5 in your classroom then I recommend checking out  http://www.chalkandapples.com/ and getting her

I used this, this past year for my word work time with my students and they loved it! You can get this yourself at her TpT store. 

Vocabulary Detectives

I created this new way to help students learn words they do not know the meaning of or for when we are learning our vocabulary words for the week. Students will enjoy getting to feel like detectives as they make their way through this worksheet. This is available for download at my TpT store

Parts of Speech Posters!

I have to admit that grammar has been an area of weakness for me when it comes to teaching. I have made it a goal of mine to work hard on being better at fitting in grammar time in my classroom in the fall. One of the ways that I am going to be able to accomplish this goal is with these posters I have made! I am in love with how colorful and useful they will be. These items are for sale in my TpT store!
