Journeys Readers Theaters

My second grade students are struggling with fluency. I know from past experience and all the research points to how readers theaters will increase their fluency. I have been in process of converting all Journeys stories to readers theaters.

I have noticed that their test scores have climbed and so has fluency. This class is doing so much better than last year and I believe that these readers theaters are helping.

Prefix Un- and Re-

I knew from using the Journeys reading series that I needed additional center activities. The vocabulary skill this week, with Animals Building Homes, is prefix un- and re-. I spent my evening creating these center activities that I believe will drive home these two prefixes. I will post pictures next week of my babies hard at work learning. Below is a sneak peek :)

Inspirational Seuss

The reason that I love Dr. Seuss so much is the quantity of inspirational quotes that he has written. It is my dream to inspire my babies in my class like he has the world. I want to post inspiration all around so I created these red chevron posters.

Identifying a Correct Sentence

It was mid 9 week common assessment time and my students are still having a hard time identifying a correct sentence. I feel like I can't get them to slow down and look for all the parts to a sentence. I created this sort as a reteaching tool. Will be doing it this week! http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sentence-Sort-Identify-a-Correct-Sentence-1436778

Word Walls

I wanted to add some color to my walls so I made some word wall letters. I love Seuss quotes!!

You can find them in my TPT store. If you want a set but want other colors just send me a message and I will customize for you.

Go Noodle

I was scrolling Instragram and saw a post about brain breaks and this website called Go Noodle. To make a long story short I'm in love and so are my students!!! I have shared with all my colleagues and they love it too! www.gonoodle.com
