<span style="font-family: inherit;">I've
been on medical leave for three months and I'm FINALLY able to get back to
school next week! I was thinking how important it is for my firsties to
really improve their beginning writing skills, so I put together a <b><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/March-4-Square-Writing-Organizers-Papers-for-Beginning-Writers-K-2-2418481">March
4-Square Writing Organizer and Papers</a></b> packet. </span></div>

<span style="background: white; color: #202020;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">4-squares are a quick and easy way for your
students to plan out a basic paragraph. I love using these simple writing
organizers with my first and second grade classes! They provide needed
scaffolding for beginning writers. You can use these as a whole class, during
Writer’s Workshop, or your students can choose to use them during “Work on
Writing” time. This is what I'm going to use on Wednesday for "Read Across America Day!"</span></span></div>

The other feature I love is that you can click on a list of lots of other books that lend themselves to teaching the comprehension strategies and skills. Plus it gives Lexile Levels &/or Fountas & Pinnell Guided Reading Levels!</div>

<span style="color: #202020; font-family: MGLWriteWell; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Reading
and writing Informational Texts are an important part of the Common Core
Standards. To make these Informational
Text Features more meaningful for my students, I created an Informational Text
Features book that each child researches and writes. </span><span style="font-family: MGLWriteWell; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">My <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/I-Can-Write-All-About-Science-Features-of-Informational-Text-Writing-CCSS-1W2-1349234" target="_blank">“I Can Write All About Science”</a>
is my favorite writing project that I do with my students each year. I have done this project for many years with
first and second graders. This project
is so versatile that you will be able to use it for any topic you’d like! <span style="color: #202020;">In the past, my
classes have made books on sharks, whales, fish, and penguins, but any topic
that interests your young scientists will work!</span> <span style="color: #202020;">You can include
some or all of the pages, picking and choosing which text features are
appropriate for your students.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: MGLWriteWell; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">We start by learning about a text feature each day and I have the kids search through informational texts to find examples. I read aloud about penguins (or whichever topic we were learning about) and the students use the new information for their writing project. Depending on the needs of your students, you may need to spend 1</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">—</span><span style="font-family: MGLWriteWell; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">3 days per text feature. This past year, my class had to go slower due to so many students being pulled out for Speech, LD, ESOL, and RTI.

</div>
<span style="font-family: MGLWriteWell; font-size: 16px; line-height: 18.399999618530273px;">I put the definition on the document projector so that kids can copy it into their own books.

Before putting them on the covers, we use them in the hallway for a big bulletin board display. Be sure to have the kids make some penguins small enough to fit on their cover, in addition to larger ones that they can take home.</span><br />

I have a new freebie for you to celebrate selling 1,000 products in my Teachers Pay Teachers store! It is a 4-Square writing activity called, “So Sweet!” <br />
I think it is good to have kids reflect on the nice things that people do for us and to be thankful for them. It is also a good opportunity to share how we’ve made someone’s day better (“bucket-filling!). I included different versions that you can choose from. Two are about something sweet the kids have done for someone else. Two others are about something sweet others have done for them. I also included a blank version for you to use with your own prompt. There are versions with transition words and without. I included symbols reminding students to indent and to write a feeling statement/wrap-up sentence on some sheets. A variety of versions of handwriting-lined papers are included for the final copy. Here are a few of the pages!<br />

I really enjoy using 4-Square writing organizers with my students! The organizers provide extra support for my reluctant writers. This is a quick and easy way for my students to plan and write a paragraph. On the first day, the kids fill out the 4-Square. The next day, students check each sentence for capitals and punctuation, tracing over the first letter of the sentence with a green colored pencil and tracing the ending punctuation with a red colored pencil. Later, we use our "spell checkers" (high-frequency word lists) to fix basic spelling errors. The kids work with a buddy to reread the writing for any revisions before writing the paragraph on the handwriting paper. My kids are always excited to share their writing in class.
<br />
I hope you enjoy this freebie! If you like what you see, please Like/Pin/Share! Thanks!
Have a great week!

Woo hoo!It has been ages since I last blogged. I had to take a self imposed blogging break because there was just too much "life "going on. I had to take a mental health break to save my sanity (or what was left of it). Can anyone relate? :-) So after doing a lot of nothing for Thanksgiving vacation, I'm back!<br />
<br />
I had an iPad funded through Donors Choose! So, I am having fun trying new things on it. I am even writing this blog post for the first time on the iPad. Woo hoo! This microphone gadget is a hoot! I like dictating my words, but I think typing is more my speed. <br />
<br />
Have you been getting ready for Teachers Pay Teachers' big sale? I'm afraid I have been doing a LOT of shopping and getting my cart ready for checkout tomorrow. All of my items will be 20% off! Be sure to use the promo code: CYBER to get up to 28% off!<br />

Be sure to download the preview, as it has a couple of freebies included!<br />

<span style="font-family: Fennario;">Sorry,

service, but after 3+ weeks of only having random minutes of service, I was
seriously technology starved! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, we
now have Fios, so I have my fast Internet back!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I had to (*whimper*) bravely delete all of the Bloglovin and TpT
notifications that came in my email because I knew service would only happen
after trying ten times to get on, then get bumped off after 30 seconds! So,
I’ve missed all of my bloggy friends’ great new products and posts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, in the meantime, I worked on my new
second grade common core statements for math.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Our district <s>is crazy for </s>wants to see all of the standards on the board that we’re
teaching—there’s almost no room for any anchor charts or other teaching related
visuals, so I made small anchor charts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since I’m doing a beach/ocean
theme this year, I made them with cute beach-themed graphics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They are on standard-sized paper for your
bulletin boards. Here are a few of the pages.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Fennario;"><o:p><span style="font-family: Fennario; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">It is my Blogiversary!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, at least it was when I started this post
a few days ago…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Haha! </span>I never thought that I
would learn so much and “meet” so many great teachers when I started this
blog.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I really didn’t know if anyone
would ever see and read it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so
exciting when I started getting visitors that were not just my Mama and
teammates. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ascii-font-family: Fennario; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Fennario; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Fennario; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was so great to find other teachers that
were really crazy about teaching and more than a little OCD about creating
amazing materials to use with kiddos in the classroom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It feels so good to have a virtual, online
team that will share ideas, answer questions, and make you feel like a million
bucks even on your worst day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, without
further ado, here are some people who made me feel welcome in the Blogosphere.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lisa R. from <a href="http://learningissomethingtotreasure.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Learning is Something
to Treasure</span></a> who was one of my first readers to leave me a comment and make
me feel fabulous!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Delighted from <a href="http://firstgradedelight.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">First Grade Delight</span></a> was also
one of my first visitors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alisha from <a href="http://www.firstgradefollies.com/"><span style="color: blue;">First Grade Follies</span></a> and Heather
from <a href="http://www.heathersfirstgradeheart.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Heathers Heart</span></a>
were there from the start, too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another
person to visit my weeks-old blog was Marie, from <a href="http://cotesclass.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">The Hands on Teacher</span></a> In First.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Marie was so kind as to tell me how I could
leave a comment with a hyperlink back to my blog instead of having to type it
all out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was such a great tip for a
beginning blogger!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I blogged more and joined in some linky
parties, I found two of my <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">favorite
people</i> that I haven’t met yet—Leslie from <a href="http://www.thegroovyteacher.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">The Groovy Teacher</span></a> and
Crystal from <a href="http://msjonesjunction.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: blue;">Mrs. Jones’
Junction</span></a>!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love their blogs and I
wish that we all worked at the same school.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It would be fabulous!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Go and
check out their blogs in case you’ve missed out! </span></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Fennario; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Hi Bloggy Friends! Next year I’m going to do a Beach/Ocean
theme with my class as we loop up to second grade. I love to do a Star of the
Week activity with my classes. In the past we had a Hollywood Star of the Week
and an Explorer of the Week. So, for our beach theme, I designed an <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Ocean-Themed-Student-of-the-Week-Pack-3-Different-Ocean-Themes-Included-748902" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Oceanographer of the Week pack</span></a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Fennario; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Let me tell you about how I use these
Student of the Week materials. I send home the parent letter with one boy and
girl who will be the Stars the following week. I have new students go earlier
in the year so we can get to know them. Then, I "randomly" choose
students for the rest of the year (but I have my shy kids and kids who need to
make new friends go first--don't tell!). On Mondays, the Stars share their
posters that they worked on over the previous weekend. They are also allowed to
bring a special item for sharing. This is a big deal because the kids don't get
to share toys or things like that normally—only items related to what we're
learning in class. Each day of the week the kids have the option to share other
items or stories about their hobbies, families, etc... On Thursday, the class
writes a page to go in a book that each Star gets. Usually, kids write
compliments or tell why they like the Star. The writing is just priceless.
“Hanna, I thenk yu are beeyutifol.” Then, at the end of the week, the stories
are collected and bound into a book for each Star to take home. The kids LOVE
this! Even the shy kids want to talk about themselves! I laminate the posters,
3-hole punch them, and bind them with binder rings. The Star of the Week big
book is by far the favorite buddy reading choice in class! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Fennario; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In addition to the Oceanographer of the
Week, I also made two other versions, Sea Star of the Week and The Big Fish of

After spending two full days packing up my classroom (with the help of my sweet Mama), I finally was able to check out of my classroom. It was so delicious to turn OFF my alarm and not have to wake up on time <strike>even though my stupid body clock woke me up at the same darn time as usual)</strike> and be on a schedule! However, this would be super fabulous if I wasn't sick! My allergies/asthma combo was mixed with a serious dose of First Grade Germs and I've been sick the past two weeks. If it weren't for the fact that we only had a bit of school left, I would have called my favorite sub (Mama) so I could recuperate faster. I thought I had finally started to get better, but then two days of stirring up cotton ball-sized dust bunnies in my classroom kicked my behind (or should I say, "lungs?") and I feel awful again. I swear it feels like I've cracked my ribs from all of the coughing. Sooooo...since I can do nothing more than lay her like a lump, I figured I'd better get back to blogging before everyone forgets me. <br />

It has been too long since my last post, so you know me, I'm throwing you a freebie with my apology. Usually, I give chocolate with my apologies, but since that won't work, here are some <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98SrW8ca1lZUzgtaGpvZC1pV0U/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">graduation borders</a> that I made for some fellow teachers. I'm hoping that you won't have to use them until next year because you're already on summer break, so tuck them away in your files. Click on the link or the picture above to grab one for yourself. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
I'm off to the doctor to see how my ribs & lungs are doing...<br />

With only a few more days of school this year, the kids are getting restless! The kids were starting to get bored of all of the ways they could practice their Word Work for Daily 5. Luckily, my friends at <a href="http://mybinding.com/"><strong style="background-color: white;">MyBinding.com</strong></a> (shout out to Hillsboro, Oregon!!!) sent me <a href="http://www.mybinding.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/95278/C-Line-Assorted-9-x-12-Reusable-Dry-Erase-Pockets-10pk" target="_blank"><strong><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">C-Line's 9x7 Reusable Dry Erase Pockets</span></strong></a>, a fun, new product to try out with my students! These pockets are heavy-duty and they are reinforced and sewn all the way around the edges of the pocket. Plus, they have a little eyelet so you could hang them for easy access. All I had to do was slip in a paper that I wanted my students to practice and voila! a non-prep, fun Word Work center was born! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I tried having the kids use Crayola's Dry Erase Crayons first. Here is one of my cuties practicing on his own. At first I loved the crayons because they weren't stinky, but eventually it stopped erasing on the pockets because the eraser mitt it came with got covered in greasy crayon. Then, the kids decided to put the mitt and crayons INSIDE the pocket! Teacher FAIL! That is what happens when you don't give enough specific directions with a new tool! So, I had to scrub it clean inside and out. We won't be trying the crayons again. <br />

So, I got out the EXPO markers, which wipe off easily with a tissue or white board eraser. Here are two of my kids playing, "Spelling Test." I put a spelling practice sheet facing one way and a blank paper with handwriting lines on the other side. That way, kids can practice with a buddy or one their own. I wish you could hear how the "spelling test" was going! He was giving the spelling test using it in a sentence, then he made up a sentence dictation sentence using the words (just like me!).

We are currently studying about plants and the kids have been working on adding science vocabulary words to their Plant ABC vocabulary sheet. I slipped a few blank sheets into the dry erase pockets so that kids could add one of their words to the class ABC list. Talk about easy motivation! Some of the kids who don't always want to get their work done were scrambling so that they could get their hands on one of the dry erase pocket activities! <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B98SrW8ca1lZUXhJWTV0a0F3WmM/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank">CLICK HERE FOR A FREEBIE OF MY ABC VOCAB SHEET!<span style="text-align: center;"></span></a></div>

<strong><u><a href="http://mybinding.com/" style="background-color: white;">MyBinding.com</a></u></strong> has other colors and sizes of these fun Dry Erase Pockets. Besides getting more of the large pockets, I want to get some of the <span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.mybinding.com/.sc/ms/dd/ee/91558/C-Line-Assorted-6-x-9-Primary-Colors-Reusable-Dry-Erase-Pockets-10-PK" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;"><strong>smaller 6x9 versions</strong></span></a>,</span> too! They'd be great to use with some of my other centers. Instead of copying off a <strike>tree's worth of paper</strike> class set for every center game, I could just put out a few of the Dry Erase Pockets and I'd be set! I think they'd be great as response boards, if you had a small or whole group set. Thanks, MyBinding.com!!!<br />

Sorry for the quality of the next picture, but it was too good not to include in my post. When my kids turned in their homework yesterday, I came across this one that didn't quite get signed by the student <em>and</em> the parent... LOL!!! This little guy spent his Work on Writing time to draw me a picture and wrote me a note that said, "My teecher is a delaket flower and she is always HAPPY!"<br />

Hi Teacher Friends! I'm sorry I've been missing from the blogosphere lately. I've had too many things on my Must-Do-ASAP-Before-Everyone-Realizes-I-Am-Not-As-Fabulous-As-I-Want-Them-To-Think list. However, since this teacher forgot her MDABERIANAFAIWTTT list, I'll have to just do this blog post! LOL! So, here's a freebie to make you forget that it has been 17 days since my last post. This is a 4-Square Writing Organizer for kids to write about a fun day with a friend. I love using the 4-Square because it is very simple to use and my kids feel comfortable using without needing an explanation each time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">With this organizer, we were doing a writing sample about friends and we were practicing using transition words. We also had been trying to remember to indent our paragraphs, so I put the pointer finger in box 1 as a little reminder. We were also working on a wrap-up sentence that shared our feelings about the subject, so I put a little heart shape in box 5 as a reminder.</span></div>

</span><span style="font-family: inherit;">What is your preference when purchasing items from TpT? Do you like having items available in smaller units with a less expensive price or do you like getting bigger packets for a higher (but better value) price? I've been trying to decide if I should make my Mega Math Packets available in smaller packets that just cover one or two of the Common Core State Standards. I'd love your feedback!</span><br />

Here is a quick and easy way for your beginning writers to plan out a basic paragraph using a 4-Square Writing Organizer. The topic sentence is provided on one version and and a blank 4-square with a writing prompt is on the other version. Your students just have to write three things that they love about springtime and a concluding sentence. Four choices of handwriting-lined papers are included for the final copy. <span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I <strong>LOVE</strong> using 4-Square writing organizers with my Firsties! My reluctant writers really get into doing this because of the extra support the organizer provides. On the first day, the kids fill out the 4-Square. The next day, I have my students check each sentence for capitals and punctuation. They trace over the first letter of the sentence with a green colored pencil and trace the ending punctuation with a red colored pencil. They love this part! Later, we use "spell checkers" (high-frequency word lists) to fix basic spelling errors. The kids work with a buddy to reread the writing for any revisions before writing the paragraph on the handwriting paper. Ta-da! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You can grab yourself a copy of the project at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. If you like it, I'd sure appreciate it if you'd considering following my store and letting me know what you think. Thanks for your support!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I love spring weather (sunny, but cool) and beautiful daffodils (OK, so it snowed a bit this morning, but that was very strange for mid-March in Oregon)! What is your favorite thing about springtime?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Have a happy weekend!</span><br />

It is report card and parent conference time, so I have to be brief! Of course, I spent my "report card" day cleaning and organizing my classroom. I had a pile on my desk that just never got organized because there were millions of other things that were more important! I'll post some before and after pictures once I get my report cards done...<br />
Here's a peek at my latest TpT item:<br />
