A few weeks ago, I shared my plans for the week of October 17th in my Bats Acrostic Poems Post (click {here} to check it out). Well, I have gotten so many emails asking me to share and editable version with you. Unfortunately, I cannot do that because I cannot share the Scrappin' Doodles graphics in a non-pdf file and my plan book is modified from a model purchased from Ms. M's store, A Teacher's Plan. Fortunately, you can purchase the graphics yourself from Scrappin' Doodles by clicking my link to the left and searching for "school stick kids" and "my favorite teacher." You can also purchase the lesson plan template "Is Everything Here?" from Ms. M. by clicking the picture below. I hope this helps! Please, tell Ms. M. I sent you.
And it freaks me out! Gads I hope I don't mess up! *update* clearly I don't know my etiquette, and should have put in here that this here linky is hosted by Lindsey at The Teacher Wife. And also I did find a typing mistake and feeeexed it. Someone beat me with a wet noodle. I love picture books. I love the technique in illustration. The precise language. The labor of love that they must have been to write, and how excited the children get to read them and share them and love love love on them. My classroom library has 40 baskets at this point, and I've bought more books this summer, so I know I'll have to add more come end of August. But I care not! I love them so! It's hard to pick the 5 BEST ones, but these are old favorites that I read again and again. 1. When Pigasso met Mootisse by Nina Laden serves many purposes. For one, the illustrations are excellent, showcasing both styles of Picasso and Matisse, two of my favorite artists. My second graders always think both styles are super cool, and want to try both out in their own drawings. Secondly, it's a great story for discussions on friendships, competition, respecting differences, and being unique. It's a great text to refer back to often when dealing with friendship issues in the classroom. And as a great third reason, the end of the text has real information of both artists, to provide that non-fiction link that kids actually adore. They LOVE finding out that these were actually real people. 2. Roxaboxen by Alice McLerran is a beautiful story! I used to bawl like a baby at the end every time...but they make a pill for that now, so now I just choke up a little. Anyway, I tend to like books that do a lot of different jobs for me in the classroom. This book is a great example of memoir, and I can use it in Writer's Workshop as an example for writing about small moments. I also use this book as an introduction to my economics unit, as the children in the story create their own town, and it's a fantastic springboard for getting my kids to think about what they would need in their town that they are going to create. It also works for showing changes over time, which is a social studies standard. 3. Tough Boris by Mem Fox is AWESOME. I'm starting to worry that I'm running out of adjectives for this post. All of these books are incredible. What makes Tough Boris special? I use it for my illustration unit to show how the picture can show a story that the words don't tell. Which also makes it great for that Daily 5 lesson on Three Ways to Read a Book. This book has a repetitive text structure, which makes it great for the kids to quickly catch on and echo back the lines with you. And it teaches about stereotypes. You can spend the whole book thinking about how awful pirates are and then find out that they are capable of loving and being loved just like everybody else. But not in a hit over your head sort of way. This was also a tear jerker for me. The kids would be all, "Why are you crying AGAIN?" Ah, pills are good. 4. Ms. Rubinstein's Beauty by Pep Montserrat. I hesitated on this one when I found out that it's no longer being sold, which I guess means it's not being printed anymore? But I MUST post it, because it is, insert adjective that means so super fabulous beyond belief here. Look for it at yard sales, or borrow it from the library. This, like Tough Boris, works for teaching about stereotypes and how everyone is beautiful and has worth and how we all need to look for the good in people and be open minded. BECAUSE Ms. Rubinstein is the bearded lady at a traveling circus. I will not give away the rest. But it is a beautiful love story. *sigh* 5. Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney. Who, coincidentally, illustrated Roxaboxen. A sweet story about a woman who decided to make the world beautiful. I have always used this book as a beginning of the year read aloud and had the kids write a little paragraph about how they would make the world beautiful. Providing kids with opportunities to think about how to give back to the world is so necessary as we nudge their character building. It's a great example of memoir, small moments, beautiful language, and changes over time. I also want to point you in the direction of Wendy at Teacher's Toolkit, who also uses this book in her classroom. But she went an amazing step farther and has a free powerpoint of lupin pictures that she shares with the kids and then they make these gorgeous fingerprint paintings. It is an inspiring project, and I want to combine it with my writing activity and have the kids create lupin paintings for a bulletin board display and then put up our paragraphs of how we'd make the world beautiful. A great opportunity for text to self and text to world connections. Please go give Wendy a visit and give her props for her beautiful art project! Oh this is sad! Only FIVE books! And now I wish I had been able to add in Interrupting Chicken by David Ezra Stein because of how it shows the writer's process, or I Love Guinea Pigs by Dick King-Smith with how it pairs non-fiction informational text features with memoir, or Chin Yu Men and the Ginger Cat by Jennifer Armstrong because it works in wonderfully with my Ancient China unit and character education, or When I was Young in the Mountains by Cynthia Rylant for small moments! There are so many. Sniff.

Even though I love books, my husband never liked reading as a child (or even as an adult). When I heard him in a bookstore proclaim "Alex Rider, I LOVED that book when I was a fifth-grader" I had to buy it! Since this moment, the Alex Rider series by Anthony Horowitz has been a staple in my classroom. Like my husband, many eager and reluctant readers have found a riveting tale that they just can't put down! This book is fast pace from the first page to the last and with this novel study can be a great bridge to the rest of the series. This is a great product for a small group of students to do together, a single student to complete independently, a whole class novel study, or a whole class read-aloud. Included in this Product: -6 sets of vocabulary practice with context clues and test prep practice -6 sets of comprehension questions that go with a section of text -6 puzzle like "clues" that go through many different literature standards from main idea, to voice, to figurative language, to morals, to character traits
Fluency is such an important component of reading. Low fluency rate may not always be detected until late elementary or early middle school. Suddenly, a student is expected to read more curriculum in a short period of time, and is not able to keep up with his or her studies. This is one area of reading that I wanted to tweak so my students would be well prepared. I realize that in order to increase a student's fluency rate, he or she needs to practice reading. I reflected back to my personal experience of joining a book club. My book club read a different genre each month . . . i.e. we didn't read chick lit. each month. I thought this must be what it's like for my students. You know, reading a book that's not really your personal taste. Whenever the genre wasn't my taste, it took me all month to read it. Most months I would have a cram session a couple of days before my book club met to finish the book. UGH! This must be what my students feel like! I decided to do something a little different to help my students. On Wednesdays, students are encouraged to bring a book of their choice to school. It can be a book they checked out of the library or one of their personal books. If they don't have one, they may check a book from my class library. I give them 20 minutes of time to read in class. Then we meet in book club groups. Students are grouped differently each week. Sometimes we meet according to the genre of the book. Other time I will have students meet in groups of 3 and do a book talk, mini-commercial about their book. Each student has a Book Club folder. I attached the assignment sheets (below) in the 3 prongs in the folder. I made each student a Book Club booklet. I cut construction paper in half, put copier paper in it, and stapled it together. The assignments are numbered. Each week, students complete an assignment about the chapter they read at school. Some weeks I assign a specific assignment, other weeks I let students choose their assignment. I found these assignments from different websites, but I'm sorry I can't remember which one or I would give him or her credit for the great ideas. Please let me know if you know the source. Book club is making a difference! I'm sure the key factor is CHOICE! Choice of book and some weeks they have choice of assignment. Below are the forms I use:

Since its successful performance in the PISA studies, at the latest, the Finnish education system has become the focus of public interest. In the media coverage of recent years, the Finnish school system has often been brought into play as a prime example of important educational policy challenges. This is particularly true of the issue of inclusive education. While few studies to date have seriously questioned the Finnish "educational miracle", this book aims to provide an objective account of the current situation in Finland. In doing so, it takes a differentiated and critical look at inclusive schooling in Finland. In order to achieve this, the inclusive school and classroom culture is examined using qualitative research approaches in selected Finnish schools. The building blocks of an inclusive school developed by Reich (2014) are consulted as criteria for analysis. Based on the findings of this study, it is finally examined and discussed what Germany (and other countries) can learn from Finland with regard to the topic of inclusion. | Author: Christopher Mihajlovic | Publisher: Springer Vs | Publication Date: Feb 15, 2023 | Number of Pages: 217 pages | Language: English | Binding: Paperback | ISBN-10: 3658401761 | ISBN-13: 9783658401764
