We were hopping today! NEVER enough time in a day to get it all done:/ So much to do and so little time!!! Today we tried something new.....we started a Math Gallery Walk:) So FUN! Don't know where I have been that I hadn't seen this until now:/ I have seen it on a few blogs and websites so I decided to try it today. I made 6 different "posters" with a variety of different skills on them and hung them around the room. Talk about getting their interest when they walked in:) (I had pics of all my posters and then got home to look at them and they are all blurry:/ I stink at photos!!) Then I divided the kids into 6 teams (6 posters) They went around each station and solved each of the problems on their papers. I forgot to take a pic of that:/ They LOVED this and it was awesome to see the buddy work/team teaching going on:) We did have time for each team to go to each station. We did not have time to present. Tomorrow each team will solve and present on one poster. This is also a great review for the big test coming down the pipe in 2 weeks. I also wanted to show you one of my fave b. boards each year! It's not done yet.... Each kiddo got a large index card and divided it into 4 squares. The first box just has their first initial. The second has a slide, the bottom left a reflection, and the bottom right a 90 degree rotation. I'll try to remember to get more pics. They are turning out awesome and they are learning while having fun! Go figure..lol. We also squeezed in a new book raffle. The kids get so excited when they walk in the door and see it set up!! If you want to read more about it you can click here:) That's a few of the highlights of my day! Hope you all had a great Monday:)

If you love doing literature studies with intermediate students, I would highly recommend Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DiCamillo. It's an easy read, but don't be fooled. You can go really deep with this one. I've done it twice with fifth graders, and both times, they LOVED it. Isn't that what makes a teacher's heart happy? Here are some of the anchor charts we kept. On this one, we used the title to summarize while reading the story. This one helped us generate clarifying questions, make predictions, and study the characters. Since the chapters don't have titles, we came up with our own. I had them come up with their ideas in small groups, then each group shared and defended their ideas. We then chose one to add to our chart. This was great for inferencing (coming up with titles that have double meaning, play on words), predictions, summarizing. I really challenged them to get creative. You could do this for any book with no chapter titles. When we finished up, it was almost the end of the year, so we had a little more time for fun! One of our wrap up activities was a scene sketch on a film strip. I gave them 6 different things to sketch. This one is Gertrude's Pet Shop. Open Arms Baptist Church Winn-Dixie Grocery Store Gloria Dump's yard We celebrated the book with a party in Winn-DIxie style! Our food included Otis' Pickle and Litmus Lozenges. (Lemonheads) The kids had a ball decorating with pink and orange streamers, and cutting pictures of dogs out of magazines! The kids thought she looked like Sweetie-Pie Thomas. One of the student's drew a Wait-and-See Tree. More food! Egg salad sandwiches. Dump Punch! Yum! The book has it's place of honor! And we watched the movie. (The movie is NEVER as good as the book, as we all know) It was so fund hearing them say "That is NOT how it's supposed to happen! I can't claim all the ideas. I co-taught with a fabulous reading coach one year, and she introduced me the book and the party. Thanks Patty Chan!
TW: MH struggles, past SA, toxic parenting . . "Megan," he said. "What do you want?" Return to the world of fabulous clothes, popping camera flashes, and gorgeous movie stars, as Megan Fielding, the fourth Fielding sister, navigates her family's wishes with her own attraction to Alessandro Rosselli, the hottest actor in Hollywood. Megan is the fun, fashionable peacemaker of the Fielding siblings. Grateful for her older siblings' commitment to her after the death of their parents, she'll do whatever it takes to make them happy. Even ignore her own feelings of discontent. Rejected by his family when he told them he wanted to be an actor, Alessandro has gone far since he served Megan at her favorite Boston coffee house. The hottest actor in Hollywood, his light is dimmed by a scandal that threatens his career. Returning to his adopted hometown to lick his wounds and take part in a fundraiser, Alessandro meets Megan again and finds he needs her skills to save the charity that means so much to him. But any kind of relationship is out of the question: Megan's family has bad history with the press, and Alessandro needs publicity to fulfil his dreams. However, after a photo of them goes viral, Megan finds that she likes the limelight. If they work together, they can each fulfil their dreams. But can the paparazzi be appeased with a few photos? Will Megan have to choose between her family and her career? Or will Alessandro's fear of rejection stop him from exploring a relationship with this woman who is taking over his heart?

I love using paint chips! I have used them in the past for books marks, reading incentives, and for brainstorming synonyms. I used them last week to write Color Poems. The kids wrote a metaphor and three similes describing a color. They came out awesome! Check out my color poetry post from last year! I read some trade books and we talked about how colors represent emotions and feelings. I read the books and used the chart. The next thing that the kids did was pick a paint chip. They used the following sheet to brainstorm their ideas. Click for link: I used a sheet from Writing Fix. The kids wrote similes using their senses. They picked three similes that fit their metaphor. (I did conference with them, although the mistakes reappeared!) Here are some published poems:
