Here are the “must haves” for my classroom to address teaching the ELA objectives.

For blog posts in the category of English Language Arts, I will share ideas addressing the following topics:

• The Daily 5 and CAFE: sharing my journey to the 2 Sisters and how I implemented their ideas into my classroom.

 

• Nothing Like a Good Book: sharing books and the activities that I’ve found and/or created to accompany the books that make me smile, because there’s “nothing like a good book” read aloud. In my teaching career, I think one of the best educational perks is the moment when you’re reading a book aloud and you know, really know your listeners are hooked and if you just stopped the story a mutiny would ensue.

• Whole Group Activities: sharing activities that you would do as an entire class, but could probably put in a work station, because you never finish things when you think you will or you want to provide the kiddos with additional practice.

• “Teacher Table” /Small Group Instruction: sharing how my “Teacher Table” area is set up and how I plan what I do in small group.
• Work Stations: sharing activities and ideas for the “What are the other kiddos doing while I have small group instruction?”
  

What are your “must haves” for teaching the English Language Arts objectives? Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time,
