My school district recently adopted McGraw-Hill Wonders as our new K-6 reading series. Previously, we were using a variety of series and resources to meet our students' needs. In my 8 years of teaching, this will be the first year I've had a reading curriculum that addresses {most of} our standards! If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you might know that using a basal to teach is not exactly my style, so this is a HUGE change for me. In an ideal world, I would use a reading workshop model to teach whole group mini-lessons with trade books and then differentiate with leveled readers in small groups. I am still planning on using a reading workshop model, but I will be integrating Wonders into the model. I hope to blog about Wonders throughout the year to share about the integration process. According to McGraw-Hill, Wonders is the first and only reading program designed specifically for the Common Core. This is a definite improvement over our previous series; however, this does not mean the curriculum is without flaws. My colleague, Amanda, and I spent A LOT of time this summer aligning Wonders to our 2nd grade CCSS and developing a scope and sequence for the year. Throughout this process, we discovered many things we loved about Wonders, as well as a few things we were not impressed with! I will start with the things we loved! :) 1) Literature: The stories in the literature anthology of Wonders are very good! I've worked with a lot of basals that had really dull stories, so I am excited that Wonders includes stories that are engaging and high-interest for my students. 2) Instruction Model: The 2nd grade curriculum of Wonders includes 2 textbooks. You use the Reading/Writing Workshop textbook to pre-teach the comprehension and vocabulary of the week, as well as model close reading. Then, you have students apply these skills to the weekly selection in the Literature Anthology. I really like the concept of being able to pre-teach skills and apply them to quality literature. 3) Multiple Selections: Both textbooks include multiple selections each week. The selections are a variety of genres to allow for multiple ways for students to practice their skills. Now, onto the main problem we are having with Wonders... scope and sequence! {a large problem, I might add!} Scope and Sequence: I emailed the folks at McGraw-Hill multiple times to see if they could provide a matrix that indicates which CCSS are being focused on each week. (Because my district uses standards based grading, it is important for us to see the scope and sequence of the standards we are teaching and assessing). The best McGraw-Hill could do was tell me to use the online Weekly Planner resource to pull up the weekly standards. So, I tried it. Unit 1, Week 1 lists 44 standards for the WEEK (12 of which don't pertain to 2nd grade). Clearly, that's not going to work for us! Like usual, I decided to create my own resource to meet my needs. My friend and colleague, Mary, created a template to use to map out Wonders for 4th grade. Using the template, I worked with my friend, Amanda, to create a scope and sequence that showed the CCSS that were truly being focused on each week. You can download the FREE checklist by clicking on the image below. {Full Disclosure: We worked on this at 2 AM on some nights, so I make no promises that it's 100% accurate, but it's a start!} Throughout the year, I will be creating additional Wonders resources to meet our needs. One of the first things I have already created is a spelling unit! Second Grade Wonders includes weekly spelling words based on a pattern. Although the words are provided by Wonders, I found that the curriculum was lacking some necessary components such as: 1) Organized lists to send home to parents 2) Word cards for sorting by pattern (Wonders does provide word cards in their online resources, but they do not include sorting headers and their cards are huge... which wastes too much paper in my opinion!) 3) Most importantly, a guide on how to assess students' spelling! Because my team is going to be utilizing Wonders for spelling this year, I decided to create a comprehensive unit for us to use. So far, I have Unit 1: Weeks 1-5 completed and posted on TPT. I am currently working on Units 2-6 and will create a bundle if there is enough interest. Here is what my unit includes: {Click on the image above to check out the unit} {Download the preview file for a FREE sample of Unit 1: Week 1} Click on the images below to see a full size image. These can also be downloaded in the preview file. {How I plan on teaching spelling} {The weekly spelling patterns and the words that are on each test} {Word list to send home with students... includes lines for handwriting practice!} {Word cards and headers for sorting} I have my students cut, sort, and glue the word cards on notebook paper. I've included a few blank cards to help students think of additional words that follow the pattern. {Description of the spelling test} {Example of a spelling test} Phew! This was a long post! Hooray for you if you made it to the end! Please comment below if you are using 2nd Grade Wonders this year. I would love to connect and collaborate with you!

Today I am linking up with Ashley from The Applicious Teacher for her weekly 'Apple a Day' Idea Share and with Ashley from Just Reed for her Ten Pin Linky Party to discuss this week's theme~classroom management. I use a variety of techniques in my room, but most importantly I believe consistency and routine are extremely crucial so that each little one knows the expectations while at school. I have a classroom chart on display at all times. I saw this at a conference a few years ago and adapted it to fit my class rules. It uses Mr. Potato Head pieces hot glued next to the particular rule. I also remind my students of our circle time rules before we begin and sometimes during, if it is necessary. These rules follow the "Give Me Five" philosophy. They are simple, but effective. They consist of Waiting hands Sitting crisscross (usually my little learners sit on the floor during circle/learning times, but occasionally I will split them up with half on the floor and half in chairs, depending on my class size) Voices off while the teacher is speaking Listening ears Eyes on the speaker You can pick up my poster HERE! Last summer I found and pinned this freebie book that fit perfectly in with my Give Me Five rules. I also have a visual schedule of my circle time so my little ones can follow along and know what to expect next. I have my pictures attached to a long piece of velcro. Once we finish an activity I remove the picture icon. My kids let me know if for some reason I have the wrong picture up or have forgotten a picture! Another behavior management tool that I use in general during the entire day is the smiley face system. I have three large circles cut out of foam. (Green with a smile, yellow with a straight face, red with a sad face) Each student's name is written on a clothespin. Everyone starts out on the happy face. If a student is not following a rule, I will move that clothespin to straight face as a warning and sad face if necessary. A student does have the opportunity to change behavior and get moved back to the happy face. My little sweeties hate having their clothespin moved, so this is an effective system for me. My daily note has the same smile, straight, or sad face system that I fill in at the end of the day. If I have a little one who needs something more I have different options I will use. I often use a smiley face system where just by sitting and participating randomly a smiley face will be colored in. After one, two, or three smiley faces are colored in the student will receive a small prize, such as a sticker, mini m & m, or a skittle. I also have large individual picture cards to show what I expect, such as a picture of "quiet", "hands in lap" or "raise hand to talk". That way I don't have to stop teaching, but can simply hold up the card. I would be happy to provide a PDF document for anyone interested in these types of individual picture cards. I have a treasure box that my students are able to pick a prize if they have had a good week. They LOVE it. I ask parents to send in small trinkets and pick up treasures from the Dollar Spot from Target or Michaels. I try to keep discipline positive and have found that just by noticing and commenting on appropriate behavior. My sweeties are young and enthusiastic enough that they want me to say something about them to so everyone will follow that person's good example. However, some of my students require more visuals to help them calm down. There is a plethora of amazing teacher blogs with lots of ideas. Here are some of my favorite tools I have pinned on my classroom management pinterest board. Something I have wanted to learn more about is Whole Brain Teaching (WBT). I have incorporated tiny bits here and there, but haven't done the whole thing yet. It is for kindergarten and up so I would have to adapt it to the pre-k population. There are many great freebie resources out there. Here are some of my pins from my WBT teaching pinterest board. I can't wait to hear about other teachers' discipline rules and routines. I think it is important to keep in mind that not every little one responds the same to discipline. It's always good to have some extra tricks up my sleeve! Thanks for reading! Have a great day. :)

A wonder wall is an inquiry based learning activity that encourages curiosity in the classroom. When a student has a question, I hand him or her a sticky note to stick up on the thought bubble on the wall, research it, and report back to the class.
