Flipping for Fall

Welcome to this fabulous BLOG HOP and GIVEAWAY brought to you by several literacy loving bloggers! As you hop through the blogs, collect the awesome fall mentor texts FREEBIES, as well as mystery words (the orange word in each post) My mystery word is monsters. At the end of the hop, enter all of the mystery words into the rafflecopter for your chance to win all of these fall mentor texts! My post is part of the K-2 hop, but there is also a 3-5 hop. 
Both hops start HERE.
I love, love, love October! During the month of October we go a little monster crazy. We have a monster watching over our classroom, we collect monster (ClassDojo) points for expected behavior and many of our lessons and crafts center around monsters. One of my favorite monster books is 
Monsters Love School by Mike Austin.
There are so many ways you can use this book, but I am planning on using it to motivate my little monsters that need to practice letter and sound identification. We have finally arrived at that magical time of the year when I have started guided reading groups while everyone is working independently. Hallelujah! Just like Blue in the story, it is time for some of my cute little monsters 
to practice, practice, practice their ABCs and XYZs.
This FREE find and trace activity will foster that learning.
Thanks for hopping over to my blog!

Remember that my mystery word is monsters.

I love using anchor charts in my classroom. They usually hang on my chart stand or whiteboard while I am teaching a concept, then I move them to my focus board. I also use them in sign holders at my small group table. Anchor charts are a great way to focus and reinforce learning. These are single PDFs so that they are easy to upload to office supply stores to make posters. I like to use Vistaprint to make my posters.

toss tell and take

Toss Tell and Take
My students love Toss, Tell and Take Kindergarten Math so much, 
that I created Toss, Tell and Take Kindergarten Language Arts.  
This is an organized, fun way to practice kindergarten language arts skills. This is a great guided reading activity or can be used to provide language arts intervention. 
The following Kindergarten Common Core Standards 
can be assessed and practiced with this packet...
RF.K.1 Recognize and name all upper and lowercase letters.
RF.K.3 Associate the long and short sounds for the five major vowels
RF.K.3 Demonstrate basic knowledge of letter-sound correspondence by producing the primary sound for each consonant.
RF.K.3 Read common high-frequency words by sight.
RF.K.2 Isolate and pronounce the initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in three-phoneme (consonant-vowel-consonant, or CVC) words.
RF.K.2 Recognize and produce rhyming words.

See this unit in action. 
These smarties are practicing identifying long and short vowel sounds 
during their guided reading group...

thinking maps thursday

We are loving learning our Fun Days routine. 
I got the idea for my Fun Days from Joyful Learning in KC
Here are Melissa's Joyful Days...
Here are our Fun Days...

For the next few Thinking Map Thursdays we are working on abc circle maps. I enlarged the maps onto 11x17 paper so that we could work on the maps together. 
The kids loved "thinking" about where each picture should go. 
You can get the abc circle maps HERE.
