<span style="text-align: left;">Here is my Reading Focus Wall! This will be a change for me this year. I had been displaying the CAFE headers and strategies, but I've moved away from this a bit over the last handful of years. This wall includes genre posters {from Kelly Bates - </span><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Genre-Posters-3345394" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="text-align: left;">} and comprehension cards {from Teri at A Cupcake for the Teacher - </span><a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/reading-center-starter-kit-printables" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">HERE</a><span style="text-align: left;">}. The Focus Wall poster is a part of our Journeys reading program and is changed out each week. I have a pad of sticky note stars that I will be using to mark the genre and focus skills on the board each week. </span></div>

I designed the headers in Cricut Design Space and cut them out with my machine. I will forever be in awe of that thing! I had many questions about this space, so hopefully this short explanation helps! :)<br />

After posting my class jobs chart on Instagram, there was a lot of interest in having this item be put up for sale! I've just added this chart to my Teachers Pay Teachers store. It is completely customizable. Check it out <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Editable-Class-Jobs-Chart-4713355" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">here</span></a>!<br />

If you want to remove the massive sticker off the front, be sure to tackle it when you're feeling patient and have plenty of time. đ I recommend soaking it with a hot, wet towel first. Other than that, it is top notch! Of course, I had to dress mine up with some vinyl lettering. The Mo Willems characters were from Kohl's several years ago!<br />

I posted my "Turn-In Trays" on Instagram and received lots of questions about them! This is how I have my students turn in their completed work. I love this because it takes up very little space and keeps the subjects separated. I also train my students how to lay the papers in the trays all facing the same way, which saves a ton of time with sorting! At the end of the day, I have a student stack all of the papers up for me and clip them together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased these trays at Staples almost 10 years ago! I found a link to them <a href="https://www.staples.com/Staples-Black-Plastic-Side-Load-Letter-Trays-2-Pack/product_719618" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created subject labels and a header card, printed them on card stock, laminated them, and hot glued everything to the trays. If you'd like to purchase the labels I used, you can find them <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Turn-In-Trays-Labels-3240959" target="_blank">HERE</a> in my TpT Store. The download includes a PDF of the exact labels I used. I also included a PPT file where you can edit the subject labels. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope this helps! :)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Awhile back I shared my <a href="https://www.thedailycafe.com/" target="_blank">CAFE</a> binder set. See old post <a href="http://heerenshappenings2.blogspot.com/2013/10/free-cafe-binder-set.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>! I will still be using CAFE in my classroom, but I have simplified my forms/binder and condensed my math and reading intervention documentation into one spot. I am hoping this will keep things more simple this year! Here are the forms and how I plan on using them:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Create flexible reading groups (1=lowest group 5=highest group)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNG-FoA3NirAVjEcJ_wZIft4UTHtpFnEJjDin7H91EXd4Jvlxq9asN9VyaDQLabyOcF91Dwncg4O12btKIcCQcfB7GgcSVW5BHB6R3EUYOtNaGCbtjl-qn_g44CR7m7jngN8gHH5Teuxtx/s1600/GroupingSheet.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="707" data-original-width="547" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNG-FoA3NirAVjEcJ_wZIft4UTHtpFnEJjDin7H91EXd4Jvlxq9asN9VyaDQLabyOcF91Dwncg4O12btKIcCQcfB7GgcSVW5BHB6R3EUYOtNaGCbtjl-qn_g44CR7m7jngN8gHH5Teuxtx/s320/GroupingSheet.tiff" width="247" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Keep notes on each group.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLZgXfUZvtpiWgm_ad-kVfhOB0Yy0xgL3iz9e0e500n9D3GGYW_j6yyDLGe7r1vJURDcbIf4eWqHIzCbkHBkFIyAWljBEYsMckdf4vnCLrlmD9JHd2lQHWIyaSbxNypxde5fkUoN8LEn2/s1600/Notes.tiff" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="708" data-original-width="546" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnLZgXfUZvtpiWgm_ad-kVfhOB0Yy0xgL3iz9e0e500n9D3GGYW_j6yyDLGe7r1vJURDcbIf4eWqHIzCbkHBkFIyAWljBEYsMckdf4vnCLrlmD9JHd2lQHWIyaSbxNypxde5fkUoN8LEn2/s320/Notes.tiff" width="246" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I won't be using the binder to write lesson plans, rather just to keep notes and to keep track of groups.
Midway through last school year, I started using <a href="http://planbook.com/">Planbook.com</a> for
lesson planning. I was reluctant to start, but I will never go back to
handwritten plans! I am going to plan small groups on here as well. Here is a snapshot of how I have my planbook laid out for next year.</div>

It really was quite easy to do and probably only took 2-3 hours total (and that was with a baby crawling all over me pulling the fabric strips down). <a href="http://typicallysimple.com/diy-rustic-rag-banner/" target="_blank">HERE</a> is a great tutorial if you'd like to try one out! My fabric strips are 2x20 inches. I was excited that I was able to use up a bunch of fabric from my old bulletin boards! I had to make mine pretty long to reach across the windows, so depending on your space, it may not even take that long. </div>

My other Monday Made It is embarrassingly simple...I spray painted my new classroom bell to match my color scheme. I kept trying to find colored or cute call bells online, but could only find plain ones. Once my bell arrived from <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B095E0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1" target="_blank">Amazon</a>, I realized how simple it was to take it apart. I spray-painted the base and reassembled...took several minutes! I keep the bell at my small group table and use it to transition between Daily 5 rotations. I ring it twice to signal "pick up" and ring it once after a minute or so to signal that the students should be at their own seats, heads down, quiet, and picked up. This really has cut down on transition time. :)<br />

I'm also pretty excited about the new stools I scored at Family Dollar for $5! My IKEA stools didn't even survive two years of wiggly second graders. Gladys from <a href="http://www.teachinginhighheels.com/" target="_blank">Teaching In High Heels</a> uses the metal Family Dollar stools in her room and said they've been sturdy and are going strong into their fourth year. Thanks for the tip, Gladys. Hope these last! <br />
<br />
It's our last week before school starts. Which means, it is time to set aside the fun projects and start lesson planning. :( Hope everyone has a great start to the school year! <br />

I love the idea of using personal and class "Word Collectors" in the classroom. I was inspired to do this after reading <a href="https://www.thedailycafe.com/articles/word-collectors" target="_blank"><u>The Daily Cafe</u></a>. After teaching the mini-lesson over "tuning into interesting words", I pass out personal word collectors for my students to keep in their writing folders. This really has helped my students expand their vocabularies and encourages them to give more attention to new words in the books they read. Students may add words to their collectors at any point during the day. We also have a whole-class collector posted in the room where we write words we want to remember from shared read alouds. The kids are obsessed with this! In the past, I made a new class word collector every year by using a large piece of butcher paper and drawing [crooked] lines with a yardstick. It was one of those summer tasks I dreaded doing because it always turned out so <b>ugly</b>. So, I made one that I could print, laminate, and write on with dry erase so it can be used every year! (You could also write the words with permanent marker and use the Expo marker or hand sanitizer method to remove the words at the end of the year.) Out with the ew, in with the new!<br />

Definitely don't try to cut corners and not use card stock. I did this the first time around and it looked bumpy after putting hot glue on the back of each square to hang it. Needless to say, I pulled it all down and started over. (I'm going to pretend that I don't see the smudge marks our school's laminator made at the top of each square the second time making it.)<br />

I know I do. I feel like I quickly move on to the next strategy without giving the students enough time to master the one that was just taught. I have <i>yet</i> to find a perfect solution to teaching basic facts in my classroom. I feel like my students knew their facts the best when I used the Saxon Math program, but that is no longer an option for me since our school has adopted a different program. I loved how Saxon provided practice with a given fact strategy before moving on. So, I created strategy-based fact drills that will give my students plenty of practice with the strategies I'm introducing. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Strategy-Based-Fact-Drills-2604910" target="_blank"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Strategy-Based-Fact-Drills-2604910" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgf0Yxg4QaTSKLzJSS2xEa2QeEng-1b7BIRaIjtVBm5yjmgZPIojqBcBgJa_YqO2MTNOQjkCpfcXGkt2oJyUZyHUf5WUBlqpVqwW9h6Z6zWOKEpx2dQOGdL_bjiLxV687Frici7LP0NqgVi/s640/cover.tiff" width="492" /></a> </div>

I plan on using this only as a supplement to my current fact program. I am using <a href="https://rocketmath.com/" target="_blank"><i>Rocket Math</i></a> in my classroom and have been happy with it. Still, I think my students would be doing much better if more time was spent on practicing fact strategies. I still see SO MANY fingers out and my students are relying almost completely on "Counting On" and "Counting Back". I plan to spend the first 10 minutes of my math block on fact practice every day. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we will do <a href="https://rocketmath.com/" target="_blank"><i>Rocket Math</i></a>.
(I only do this three times per week since it takes awhile to go
through each student's Rocket Folder. But, don't let this scare you
from trying it out. If you have a good system down, you can check over
folders for the entire class in 15 minutes.) Tuesday and Thursday's
fact practice will consist of modeling/practicing a fact strategy.
Depending on the difficulty of the strategy, we may do one or two
strategies a week. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />Each strategy includes two different fact drills (25 problems) and answer keys. The strategies are labeled at the top of each page with a short reminder
of how to use it. Each drill is also labeled as A or B. These would
be great to copy back-to-back (A/B) so students could complete side A at
school and side B at home. Also, the answer keys make this conducive to
independent work in centers.<br />

As a part of my students' morning work, they "shop" for books to keep in their book box to read during Daily 5. (They are not allowed to look for books DURING centers.) They must have five good fit books in their box and may switch books out once they've written a Reader's Response Journal on them. Inevitably, it ends up pretty crowded in the library. Last year, I tried making a schedule so that each student had a particular day of the week they could "shop" on, but it didn't work out very well. SO, instead, I'm going to set 4-5 of these passes out in a bin in my library so there won't be more than five students in the library at a time. Students must have a pass to shop and will replace it when they're finished. Students must move on to the next step of their morning work if all of the passes are taken and may book shop once a pass has been returned. <br />
<br />
If you could use these, it's a free download. Help yourself! :)<br />

We live by this saying in my classroom: <i>Character is what you do when nobody is looking. </i> <br />
<br />
A handful of years ago, I heard this quote for the first time as one of our teachers made visits to classrooms to do "character education" classes with our students. It has always stuck with me! I finally just made a display of this saying to post in my classroom. If you'd like a copy, it is available for free in my Teachers Pay Teachers store.<br />

I'm excited to begin working on my long list of TpT To-Do's. :) I've just posted my newest resource:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I created this pack to further encourage my students to use proper capitalization,
punctuation, spelling, and sentence structure when writing. The theme
is "Writing Wizards Wear Caps" and it uses the following common acronym:<br />
<br />
Capitalization<br />
All sentences make sense<br />
Punctuation<br />
Spelling and spacing<br />
<br />
It includes a writing goal chart where magnets or clothespins
could be used to track students' current goals. I've included a set of
magnet templates to use if you'd like to make a set that matches the

students master CAPS, they earn "Wizard Status" and may move their
magnets to the "Writing Wizards" portion of the chart and can earn a
wizard card (cards included in set).<br />

...I admire you blogging teacher moms that somehow find time to blog, teach, make TpT goodies, and be a mommy! I think I must need some serious time management help. :)<br />

Now that I'm done making excuses, on to the school stuff...<br />
<br />
I have been planning some lessons for teaching <i>point of view</i> and wanted to post the organizer I made for the students to record their thoughts. Click the image below to download for free.<br />

There are three different options of line spacing, depending on the writing capabilities of your students and on how much you'd like them to write.<br />

There are a handful of these twisted fairy tales told from the perspective of another character in the story. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=the+other+side+of+the+story+fairy+tales&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Athe+other+side+of+the+story+fairy+tales" target="_blank">HERE</a> is an Amazon link to view them. So far, I've ordered the Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood books and love them!<br />
<br />
I'm also going to use the two books <u>The Day the Crayons Quit</u> and <u>The Day the Crayons Came</u> <u>Home</u>. The students are then going to write a friendly letter (as they do in the books) from the perspective of a crayon. I blogged about this activity in an <a href="http://heerenshappenings2.blogspot.com/2015/04/where-ive-been-andthe-day-crayons-quit.html" target="_blank">earlier post</a>.

<br />
It is the third week of the TpT Seller Challenge hosted by <a href="http://sparklinginsecondgrade.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sparkling in Second</a>, <a href="http://www.teachcreatemotivate.com/" target="_blank">Teach Create Motivate</a>, <a href="http://www.thirdinhollywood.com/" target="_blank">Third in Hollywood</a>, and the <a href="http://www.peppyzestyteacherista.com/" target="_blank">Peppy Zesty Teacherista</a>. I've been working on my "masterpiece" for the last several weeks and it's <u><b>finally</b></u> finished!<br />
<br />
These past few years, I've felt like our class was drowning in sticky notes! When meeting with my students, I'd usually give them Post-Its to mark and make notes on when practicing their reading strategies. The stickies would get lost and would often times end up on the floor. So, to cut back on the stickies, I created graphic organizers for frequently-used comprehension and accuracy/decoding strategies. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Strategy-Organizers-Pack-1931265"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Strategy-Organizers-Pack-1931265" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SomYKFXTCrHrlGqOaDGohZqS447IbA_knIdOXpV3cdcBMFGYivZSenFSYWihfuRVW00EbMvHKKZv9PkqV_eEXEpWcDgYwq0mdvgaefaoY5IA6yYbmVV1fzRGDmQtYm8ITxnZjF3GVwx9/s640/PreviewOrganizers.tiff" width="492" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
The organizers can be used for assessing studentsâ understanding and application of a given strategy. They can also be used as a discussion piece for one-on-one reading conferences with students, as quick assessments, in small groups, as text supplements, in whole-group lessons, etc. As I assign students a strategy to work on during reading conferences/groups, I will give them a corresponding organizer to keep folded in their books or book boxes. I'll then write their current focus strategy on their âStrategy Bookmarkâ (below).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Strategy-Organizers-Pack-1931265"><img alt="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Reading-Strategy-Organizers-Pack-1931265" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8XAdSowqeLklYcIx7DuwAXnIIGqjrhyphenhyphenljAecd1WyIDekxRsuLVVqCRoAVmLgdaz3qLf09mrnA2IU1jEbbpoje_l3BJyixSivfzzi60Exr39libvKn6044jZoJknlceqKCkGW4THy_Tgi-/s400/Bookmarks.tiff" width="292" /></a> </div>

<br />
The kids then have a running record of the strategies theyâve used right at their fingertips to reference when reading independently. <br />
<br />
Everything is organized in this binder so I can quickly grab strategy sheets as needed.<br />

I'm linking up with <a href="http://sparklinginsecondgrade.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sparkling in Second</a>, <a href="http://www.teachcreatemotivate.com/" target="_blank">Teach Create Motivate</a>, <a href="http://www.thirdinhollywood.com/" target="_blank">Third in Hollywood</a>, and the <a href="http://www.peppyzestyteacherista.com/" target="_blank">Peppy Zesty Teacherista </a>for Week 2 of the <i>TpT Seller Challenge</i>: <i>Dare to Dream</i>! In this week's challenge, we are asked to blog about our hopes and dreams for our TpT Store. As unexciting as it is, I simply would like to continue building up our savings! When I first signed up for my TpT seller account, I had very little faith that I'd even make back the $50 membership fee. So, even though I'm by no means a "top seller" (Ha...yes, I wish), I feel like the little income we've made from the store has helped cushion our savings account. Who knows what we may need the extra money for down the road!? Over time, I hope to keep expanding my store with new products and hopefully continue expanding our little "Rainy Day Fund"! <br />
<br />
The products created by fellow educators on TpT are my GO-TO any time I need a resource for my classroom! I honestly wonder how I taught before without all of the units, activities, packets, etc. I've purchased from other teachers! So, in addition to saving money, one of the best parts about my experience with TpT so far is how much it has helped enhance my classroom and teaching. I hope to continue expanding upon my collection of resources created by teachers, as well as share more of my own that will be helpful to others!<br />

I've joined in on the 4-week challenge created by <a href="http://sparklinginsecondgrade.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sparkling in Second</a>, <a href="http://www.teachcreatemotivate.com/" target="_blank">Teach Create Motivate</a>, <a href="http://www.thirdinhollywood.com/" target="_blank">Third in Hollywood</a>, and <a href="http://www.peppyzestyteacherista.com/" target="_blank">Peppy Zesty Teacherista </a>to help build more followers! <br />
<br />
Week One's Challenge is to makeover an outdated product. One of my first TpT products was my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Versatile-Writing-Rubric-Elementary-327856" target="_blank">Versatile Writing Rubric</a>, which I've left almost the same, but have just changed the look of. I made this before I knew anything about purchasing fonts or clipart, so I needed to spruce it up a bit. It wasn't a huge overhaul by any means, but I think it looks better.<br />
<br />
This rubric is one of my biggest sellers and I've personally used it a TON when grading writing over the last several years! It's $2 in my TpT Store! (If you've already purchased it, be sure to redownload the file.)<br />

I've also updated my <i><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/STARS-Behavior-Pack-2015-2016-322037" target="_blank">STAR Behavior Pack</a></i> for the 2015-16 school year! The student recording calendars coordinate nicely with the wording of the behavior chart. Although, the <i>STAR Behavior Pack</i> is editable if you use a chart with different wording. :)<br />

Last summer I applied at another school to be closer to home and I feel like I haven't a taken a breath since I got the job! With setting up a new classroom and getting established in a new school, I have had ZERO time to make for my blog and TpT store. Here's a few snapshots of my new classroom:<br />

I haven't made many of my own resources this year. But, luckily, there have be <u>plenty</u> of wonderful goodies on Teachers Pay Teachers to purchase when needing something for my lessons! I'd be lost without other teachers' creations!<br />

Last year, I discovered the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Crayons-Quit-Drew-Daywalt/dp/0399255370" target="_blank"><u>The Day the Crayons Quit</u></a>. Boy, is this a good one! If you aren't familiar with it, the story is about a box of crayons who become quite upset with their owner, Duncan, for various reasons. So, they write him letters expressing their complaints. This book is great to use for friendly letter writing and for teaching perspective. I decided that I'd have my students write their own letters to Duncan from the perspective of a crayon. I plan to compile their work into a class book once we're finished! I looked around online and didn't see any resources for this, so I actually made time to create something (my first product ALL YEAR)! <br />
<br />
<br />
I put together a little packet with various types of writing paper and an editable book cover to make a class book. Check it out at my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/The-Day-the-Crayons-Quit-Writing-Project-1816090" target="_blank">TpT Store</a>! :)<br />

I have lots of resource ideas bouncing around in my head! Summer break is almost here, so I plan to be making more posts in the near future {fingers crossed}. Thanks for following! :)<br />

Are your books disappearing? There's nothing I love more than seeing kids get excited about books and want to take them home to borrow! But, I can't help but notice that not keeping track of the books I send home with my students is starting to take a toll on my class library selection. :) I'm going to try the check-out system that <a href="http://bainbridgeclass.blogspot.com/2013/07/classroom-pics-take-2.html" target="_blank">Christina Bainbridge</a> mentioned she uses in her classroom and see if that helps keep better track of which books are and aren't making it back into the classroom. Students will record the title of the book they are borrowing on a slip of paper and place it behind their classroom numbers on a pocket chart. My pocket chart cards are below (designed to best fit the small, $1 charts at Target). Click any image to download {free}!</div>
