(This form is for Lakewood teachers to use in the Student Progress Profile notebooks.)

Organization

Kandi Mobarakzadeh, 1st grade teacher at Lakewood, shared this organization tip. Print this file, cut out and glue each "Week at a Glance" to the front of a file folder. You can then laminate the file folders if you wish. Keep everything pertaining to that lesson in the file folder for future reference. You'll quickly be able to see what skills are covered during that week by looking at the outside of the file folder.

Benchmark Assessment
These forms were created and shared by Rachel Musser of Santa Rosa County, Florida. Rachel suggests that teachers add students' names in the column on the left, put an X in the column where an error occured per item per student. Then, simply by reading down the column a teacher will immediately determine the number of items missed by class and by individual. This will be a great tool for differentiated small group instruction. Rachel adds these printing hints:
*Print in color to view items assessed and the frequency (color-coded)
*Use landscape orientation
*Use legal-sized paper
*All spreadsheets are two pages (print, trim, and tape to make a final copy just slightly larger than letter-size paper)

Focus Wall
Here is an example of a focus wall for another reading series just to give you an idea of the finished wall.
This one was created by Lise Welch, Utah.

No wall space? Consider making a portable focus wall by using a triboard.
The one featured in the link above was created by Dr. Carolyn Keasal, Auburn, Alabama.

Here are Focus Wall labels for Storytown.
These will stay in place throughout the year.
(Note: These labels are also used for the 1st Grade Focus Wall.
2nd Grade will not use the Phonological Awareness label that is included.)

Snap!

Click It
(Created by Sarah Beltram, Greensburg, Pennsylvania.)
Sarah made two versions. In the first version, the teacher prints the file on cardstock, cuts out the camera and word circles. Students line up the circles in front of them. The teacher calls a word and the student "clicks" a picture of the word by placing the camera (center hole cut out--it's even better if you laminate it after cutting out and you have a solid film of laminating over the center hole) over the word.
In Sarah's "no-cut" second version, print and cut out the cameras. Then print the lesson's Click It. Students place the camera over the word on the sheet--no need to cut out the circles.

Powerpoint Sight Word Review
(Thanks to Leigh Twigg, Ohatchee, Alabama)
Leigh says: Students call out the words. When a picture comes up- students make that sound.
What fun!

(For a literacy center game, make a tic-tac-toe board. Or you may print seasonal tic-tac-toe boards at the links below. Print out the vocabulary cards for the desired lesson and cut apart. Students play with a partner. Put the cards face down in a stack. Partner 1 takes a card and reads the question to Partner 2. If Partner 2 answers correctly, he marks an X on the tic-tac-toe board. If he does not answer correctly, Partner 1 marks an O on the tic-tac-toe board. Partner 2 then takes a card and reads the question to Partner 1. Partner 1 marks an O if he answers correctly. Partner 2 marks an X if Partner 1 does not answer correctly. Play continues until someone gets three in a row on the tic-tac-toe board.)

Vocabulary Dominoes
(Vocabulary Dominoes for Lessons 1 - 6 were created and shared by Tanya Ney, Starke, Florida)
(Vocabulary Dominoes for Lessons 20 - 30 were created and shared by Betty Williams, Missouri)

(Print on cardstock and cut apart dominoes. Note: the first domino piece will have "start" on one side and a vocabulary word on the other side. Lay the "start" domino down first. The student will match the domino with the correct definition to that domino and continue laying down dominoes in that manner until all dominoes are down. Note: the domino with "stop" should be last.)

Vocabulary Study Booklets
(Make in a literacy center and take home to practice.)

Vocabulary Word/Definition Cards
(Print the page of words on one side. Turn it over and print the definitions on the back)
(Thank you to Tara Sievers and Tanya Ney for sharing their hard work.)

Lesson 30

Vocabulary Display
"BIG DOG WORDS"
(*Another suggested use: Print the files below and cut into individual flashcards. Punch a hole in the top corner of each card and attach a ring to the group of cards. Place the cards in a literacy center titled "Throw Me a Bone!" Students work in pairs. The first student chooses a word, reads it to his partner and has the partner use the word in a sentence. You can add a student-friendly definition to the back of each card if you wish. OR...another option...keep the ring of word cards in a certain location and allow students to autograph the word card each time they use the word in general conversation. You can also do a combination of the two activities by having the students use the word card ring as a center described above and have them sign the back of the card when they use the word in general conversation. Anything to motivate kids to keep these words in circulation!)
