I spent the last two days writing about every detail of how I run test prep and you can grab it for free in my bio!✨

I got such great questions and feedback last week when I shared about my test prep layout that I sat down to write a blog post about it and it ended up being almost 10 pages long!😳

I decided to turn it into a downloadable PDF instead and added links to editable versions of my sticker sheet, goal setting sheet, and planning template.

Let me know what you think! Drop any questions below.👇🏽

April is National Poetry Month, hit the bookmark button to save this post for next week! I am so excited to use the 30 days of poetry PPT and journal that I created last year, my students loved it!💕😊

Every day I introduce a different poem type, poem tool, or children’s poet. Then, we follow up the slide with the correlating journal page to respond in some sort of creative way. I can’t wait to see their finished poetry portfolios at the end of April.

✨Head to my stories or bio to read my blog post about how I use this resource in my classroom or to check it out on TPT!💕

During my IG hiatus, I didn’t share any of my front boards. This one was from the Literary Nonfiction unit (Narrative Nonfiction) and the week I taught inferring character feelings and traits.✨

My students LOVED these games and they took almost no time to prep. I threw them together the day before (or after my students already got to school and were eating breakfast).

These were whole group lessons so I had the kids move down to the carpet when I introduced the questions and then back to tables to discuss and write their answer on the white board with their team. The movement kept them focused.

Everyday my students would ask what the reward was and I told them it was doing a good job and being able to line up first. I do a lot of rewards for different things but for this I kept it simple.

On St. Patrick’s Day, I happened upon a printed cauldron of gold and chocolate coins in the teacher lounge and immediately got the idea for Gold Rush, so I borrowed a few.🤫

The skills and questions we used with these games were hard but the fun competition really helped the students not to focus on rigor, and just to discuss with their teams and do their best.

We have 4 more weeks left of prep, so hit me with all your simple game ideas below!👇🏽

Test prep can be boring, so every year I try to make the switch up in routine fun and engaging for my students.

We are about to enter our 3rd week of prep and they are doing so well at meeting the expectations we set, working toward their own goals, and growing with comprehension.

They love earning stickers and so many of our test prep activities are turned into games (or even made more fun by just adding multicolored highlighters).

Every Friday, I randomly select five students and if they have all their stickers from the week, they get prize box.

My team created a 40 day prep plan (which is kind of elaborate) but focuses on emphasizing what they need as both readers and testers.

Let me know how you do test prep or ask any questions you have below or in my story!💗

Here’s what I love about this timeline:

💗It’s in the hallway so all students in the building will stop and read, not just my students (my room is by the library, gym, recess door, and boy’s bathroom so I get a lot of foot traffic).

💗It’s an easy way to introduce students to influential people that they probably have not met.

💗It takes no time from my curriculum or pacing.

💗We are departmentalized with a 3 way switch, so one of our classes is always lined up along this wall during transitions, having something for them to look at/do while they wait keeps them quieter.

💗I have a digital version of these cards and we discuss a person a day during morning meeting. We are only a few days into March and I already have students excited to share facts they read and remembered about our person of the day from the hallway timeline.

If you want to check this cards or the digital version out, the link is in my bio💗

My librarian says I have to share so pretty soon I’ll be swapping out some of my Black History display books for new ones.

I shared my full book displays a week or so ago and this is a look at a few titles that have been popular with my students.

What books would you recommend?

Biography vs. Autobiography & Literary Nonfiction Anchor Chart✨

I created the Venn Diagram with my first group of readers, which I thought was a great way to start the lesson. Then, I forgot to erase when the second group came in so I ended up asking them to “study the board and explain what it shows” and I was surprised that it was a much more challenging warm up but SO beneficial that I did it with my 3rd group as well.

I’m always up for book reccs so drop any you have in the comments!

💗We talked about question words and how your answer is connected to the question.

💗We asked a ton of questions through discussions and in our notebooks about our Black History Month person of the day and student generated topics.

💗We practiced the skill as testers by finding and color-coding evidence to “right there” questions in the text.

💗This week we’ve moved on to a new skill but are still reviewing by turning & talking to ask questions throughout our read alouds

I love a classroom tapestry and I was so excited to switch out my old one for this beauty from @shopbirdyboutique 💗 “So Many Books, So Little Time” is the perfect message for my room since I teach reading to three groups of 3rd graders!

📖March is reading month and this would be such a cute addition.

Tap on my story to see the other tapestry I received from @ They have so many cute design and also have educational blankets. The have a promo code good thru April for 15% off (BBWINTER23)

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.🤎
