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.

Walls
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 portable triboard focus wall shown in the link above was created by Dr. Carolyn
Keasal, Auburn, Alabama)
Here are focus
wall labels from our 2nd Grade Storytown Resources. Use the ones you want
for your wall.
(The focus wall files below were created and shared by Courtney
Watts, Grayson, Louisiana and Melissa Albro, Santa Rosa County, Florida)
These
are Courtney's Theme
Titles for the Focus Wall.

(Thanks

Maggie displays
the day's question on the classroom television. Maggie says, "This is how
my students begin their day. After answering the question independently, we then
share our individual answers aloud, thereby leading to further discussion."

Building Background
Powerpoints
(Shared by Christy Campbell Reaves,
Reading Coach at Odenville Intermediate School, Alabama
Christy says, "We
have a lot of children who don't bring some of the background necessary for understanding
the reading stories. We have begun to use Building Background Powerpoints the
week BEFORE we share the story. They also lend themselves to be used with the
Strategic Intervention materials because every fifth lesson is a preteach lesson
for the upcoming lesson.) Vocabulary Words

Flap Books
(Created and shared by Jenny Poche,
Paulina, Louisiana)
This
picture shows a finished Flap Book.
Some of the pages are open and some are
closed to help you visualize the finished product.
Take a piece of construction paper and fold it hotdog style.
Cut one half
of the construction paper with 4 equal slits (making it 5 individual flaps).
OR print this template
and cut on the dotted lines and then fold.
Glue the vocabulary word on the
flap. Glue the definition on the inside so that when you lift up the word, the
definition will be underneath it.
Jenny has divided each lesson into two booklets. Vocabulary

"W.O.W. WORDS"
(Print on cardstock. Add party decorations to your bulletin board for extra
pop!)
(If space is an issue in your room, consider this
idea: 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. 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!)
Vocabulary
Powerpoint Shows
(created and shared by Jenna
Allen, Milton, Florida, unless otherwise noted)
Christy Reaves, Odenville,
Alabama notes another way to use these vocabulary powerpoint shows:"We
also use the slides in small group to review vocabulary. We print the slide and
put them in page protectors. Then we put in a binder to use as a flip chart. This
makes it easy to refer back to words and review them in small group."

Assessments
| The
forms below 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) |
