Today our Black History bio cards transitioned from necklaces (which I used to introduce them yesterday) into a timeline.

I loved seeing all the interested students flipping the cards on their way into the building this morning, although more than one student was upset that I’ve lost my Michael Jackson bio card even though the timeline piece was up. 🤣Guess I’ll have to print another.

These bio cards are form my TPT and linked in my bio.🤎

Black History Tees for February 1st🤎❤️

Black History Tees for February 1st🤎❤️

New month, new unit, new book display.❤️🤎On

New month, new unit, new book display.❤️🤎One of the best things I ever did for my pacing was align our Narrative Nonfiction unit with Black History Month. I love sharing stories of influential people with my students and the learn so much.

The first day of every new unit for me is genre exploration. It keeps my plans simple and books the students by allowing them to read new types of books with their peers and notice elements of the genre on their own.

Which books should I add to our display?

My Black History Stacks Up/Flip the Stack bulletin

My Black History Stacks Up/Flip the Stack bulletin board is up and ready to kick off Black History Month tomorrow. I received so many kind messages from people when I shared about this board on my story yesterday.💗

This bulletin board kit is now posted in my TPT shop and linked in my bio!

I love an interactive bulletin board and the idea is that students will try to figure out how all of the names on the book spines are connected, then “flip the stack” to see the answer and read a bit about each person.

My favorite part of creating displays in the hall and not just inside my room is that I get to watch other students in the building interacting with the content. My room is in a high traffic area, next to the recess door and PE gym, so every class walks by at some point.

Let me know what you think and how you are kicking off Black History Month!

A few people have asked how we make our three way

A few people have asked how we make our three way switch work, so here’s a look at our schedule.

We had admin support when the master schedule was being created, so that helped a lot. We also had flexibility with student placement in classes, which helped with EL groups since we have such high numbers in our grade level.

The schedule was confusing for us teachers for the first week or two (you can see that two blocks have to be split), but the kiddos had this down on day two!

I will say the movement cuts down on focus and behavior issues. We recently didn’t switch one day due to state testing and so many of the kids were complaining about being hungry or tired and wanting to know why the day was longer.

Drop your thoughts or questions in the comment section or in my story!✨

Buddy reading but make it bilingual.💗 I recentl

Buddy reading but make it bilingual.💗 I recently received these books from @scholasticbookclubs and knowing that my students love a glossy, colorful, graphic novel, I couldn’t wait to add this to our library.

✨About the Book- Sue just wants to spend the summer reading and making comics at sleepaway camp with her friends, but instead she gets stuck going to Honduras to visit relatives with her parents and two sisters. They live way out in the country, which means no texting, no cable, and no Internet! The trip takes a turn for the worse when Sue's mother announces that they'll be having a surprise quinceañera for Sue, which is the last thing she wants. She can't imagine wearing a big, floofy, colorful dress! What is Sue going to do? And how will she survive all this "quality" time with her rambunctious family?

✨My Review- My students really enjoyed this story. I will say it is better suited for my more mature third graders as it is a middle grade book and the character is 15. I have quite a few students from Honduras so that generated interest quickly. All of my Spanish speakers wanted to get their hands on the Spanish copy (even though most of them can not read in Spanish) and I was amazed by how the students that could read fluently in Spanish stepped up to help the others understand and enjoy this story.

Of course, the English version was well loved too and my students shared with me a lot of new facts they learned about Sue’s culture. There were some parts my girls found sad and because they were buddy reading it, they were able to talk and discuss which added so much meaning for them.

I would definitely recommend this book; it’s well written and shows a character learning to accept themself and their culture.

Black History Month is almost here which means I’ll be pulling out my bio cards.❤️I still haven’t decided if this year I’ll use the cards as necklaces or an interactive timeline.

Each month, all 3 classes earn stickers for real reading and behavior. If they get all the stickers on the chart by the end of the month, they earn a reward.

This month, the students wanted an all-day pajama reading celebration as a reward and I’m not sure how I got them to choose more reading as a reward for reading well all month, but it sure beats a chips or candy party!

My TPT journey started in 2011 and I have swung be

My TPT journey started in 2011 and I have swung between ignoring my store for over 6 months at a time to working on it daily for months at a time often throughout the years.

I’ve learned a lot and I’ve built it into something I’ve very proud of.

I was so excited to see that TPT sent out yearly wrap-up “yearbooks” for 2022 and it was fun to see some of my stats.

I absolutely don’t know everything but I love sharing and answering questions about creating, managing, and selling on TPT.

Today I have an ✨Ask me Anything TPT✨ sticker in my story. You can drop a question there or below and keep an eye on my story throughout the day for my response!💗
