  • Love, love, love ❤️ 💕❤️ my Emoji pillows and rolled towels for an easy way to create seating flexibility in my classroom during read-to-self time and partner reading. I usually start out with students finding a place in the room to read, and as I walk around to listen 👂 to students read or talk about their reading, ⁣ ⁣ I choose those who are totally engaged in their reading activity to grab a towel or pillow and find a comfortable place to read. Each day is a new day for students to practice reading expectations, so I really like to select different students who are trying to apply what good readers do. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ What do you do to help motivate your kiddos to focus on engagement while independently reading or reading with a partner? ⁣ ❓❓❓ ⁣ ⁣ #teachersofig #weareteachers #iteachupperelementary #iteachuppergrades #teachersofthegram #iteach345 #iteach3rd #iteachthirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers #iteachthirdgraders #teachingwithintention #intentionalteacher #readingstrategies #readinganchorcharts #instateachers #instateacher #iteachela #teachingreading #iteachreading #studentengagement
  • Fluency Friday was awesome today❗️ Students read the poem Sarah Silvia Cynthia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out, by Shel Silverstein. We highlighted adjectives throughout the poem and even used a list of rhyming foods and thought of great adjectives to describe those foods to create our own versus to add to the garbage heap. This Friday the 13th 🗓 / full moon 🌕 didn’t have a chance to get our ELA block off track! * * #teachersofig #weareteachers #iteachupperelementary #iteachuppergrades #teachersofthegram #iteach345 #iteach3rd #iteachthirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers #teacherspayteachers #teacherspayteachersfreebie #teacherspayteachersresources #iteachthirdgraders #teachingwithintention #intentionalteacher #anchorcharts #readingstrategies #readinganchorcharts #instateachers #instateacher #iteachela #teachingreading #readaloud #readalouds #iteachreading #interactivereading #interactivereadaloud #studentengagement
  • As we begin the school year strong, one of the most important reading activities I do with my 3rd-grade students is a method I use to increase student engagement 💯. Though there are benefits to turn-and-talks during 📖 read alouds, I still struggled with not getting a true sense of what my individual kiddos were getting and what was a struggle or misconception. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ The Think🤔, Jot ✏️, Share 💬 method provides for my students an opportunity to think about the question in front of them, jot their ideas once they've had a moment of think time, and share their thoughts with a partner. While I'm able to engage with students during think and share times to offer support, the biggest plus is that I have a formative assessment that gives me so much insight 🔍 into their application of the focus standard and their written expression. I also use response booklets to plan my next steps👣. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In addition to this, I can repurpose my read aloud to teach multiple focus standards, and my students have an opportunity to reanalyze a familiar text with a different purpose for reading. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ If you want to increase your students' engagement during read aloud time, you can find a 🔗link in my profile for this Think, Jot, Share post. The resource provides a complete guide for implementation, management, and preplanned questions for literature standards to make planning a breeze.....and so much more. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ What do you do to increase your students' engagement during read alouds? ❓❓❓⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Interactive-Read-Aloud-Booklets-Book-Companion-RL3-2-3-3-3-4-3-6-3-7-4182596⁣⁣ *⁣⁣ *⁣⁣ *⁣⁣ #teachersofig #weareteachers #iteachupperelementary #iteachuppergrades #teachersofthegram #iteach345 #iteach3rd #iteachthirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers #teacherspayteachers #teacherspayteachersfreebie #teacherspayteachersresources #iteachthirdgraders #teachingwithintention #intentionalteacher #anchorcharts #readingstrategies #readinganchorcharts #instateachers #instateacher #iteachela #teachingreading #readaloud #readalouds #iteachreading #interactivereading #interactivereadaloud #studentengagement
  • I love lifting a line from our interactive read aloud and using it as a mentor sentence. With this sentence, my students had a great discussion about how some nouns can become adjectives. i.e. though butter and peppermints can be nouns, they describe the tea and cookies in this particular sentence. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ My students enjoy mentor sentence activities so much, they sometimes like to go the extra mile and illustrate their cloned version of the sentence. In this sentence, students had our principal, Mr. Price setting up a table with hot cocoa ☕️ and ice cream cake 🍰, the kind with sprinkles on top. ❤️ I just love the illustrations. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ #teachersofig #weareteachers #iteachupperelementary #iteachuppergrades #teachersofthegram #iteach345 #iteach3rd #iteachthirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers #teacherspayteachers #teacherspayteachersfreebie #teacherspayteachersresources #iteachthirdgraders #teachingwithintention #intentionalteacher #anchorcharts #readingstrategies #readinganchorcharts #instateachers #instateacher #iteachela #teachingreading #readaloud #readalouds #iteachreading #interactivereading #interactivereadaloud #studentengagement
  • I love 💖 how our school celebrates Grandparents' Day. 👩‍🦳🧓 All grandparents are invited to have school breakfast with our kiddos. Our family resource coordinator sets up decorated tables in the cafeteria and the gym so students have a nice place to have a pleasant meal with their loved ones. 📸 She also sets up this photo bench to capture this special day. ⁣ What does your school do for Grandparents’ Day? ❓❓❓ ⁣ #grandparentsday #teachersofig #weareteachers #iteachupperelementary #iteachuppergrades #teachersofthegram #iteach345 #iteach3rd #iteachthirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers
  • 📸Picture day is one of the many things going on at the beginning of the year. I love seeing all my kiddos dressed up and ready to say cheese.🧀 ⁣ ⁣ Unfortunately for Stanley Birdbaum, he got his dates mixed up. 🗓️ You would think dressing for crazy hair day on picture day would be disastrous…but not for Stanley, thanks to his great classroom community of friends and a teacher who knows how to turn a bad day into great ones 💕 ⁣ ⁣ If you haven't read 📖 Crazy Hair Day to your kiddos, it's a wonderful read, especially around picture day. I LoVe reading this story to my kids each year. This book shows kids how they can show up for one another when friends aren't having such a great day. ⁣ ⁣ What picture books about friendship do you absolutely love and read every year? ❓❓❓ *⁣ *⁣ *⁣ *⁣ *⁣ #teachersofig #weareteachers #iteachupperelementary #iteachuppergrades #teachersofthegram #iteach345 #iteach3rd #iteachthirdgrade #iteachthird #elementaryteacher #elementaryteachers #iteachthirdgraders #teachingwithintention #intentionalteacher #readingstrategies #instateachers #instateacher #iteachela #teachingreading #readaloud #readalouds #iteachreading #interactivereading #interactivereadaloud #studentengagement⁣ #picturedayatschool
