<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Of all the things that you can do to organize your teacher work life, </span><b style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">creating a year plan is absolutely at the top of the importance list</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">.</span><br />

I’m ALL ABOUT backwards planning! Curriculum mapping and planning for the following school year is a huge part of our end of the year routine. </div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
A year plan makes it easy to discuss things as a team while looking at the “<b style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">big picture</b>“. This is our piece of mind. This is our bible. It allows us to embrace our creativity while knowing we are also meeting the needs of all the data driven aspects of our job.</div>

Because we refer to it often, I print a huge copy for my team to refer to throughout the year in addition to our own personal-sized copy.</div>
<div style="background: 0px 0px rgb(255, 255, 255); color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">

A thorough curriculum map helps ensure teachers:</div>

<li>are planning with purpose</li>
<li>have increased comfort/knowledge with grade level standards & expectations</li>
<li>cover all key areas of focus during the school year</li>
<li>unify disjointed scopes and sequences</li>
<li>find clarity and direction for the school year</li>
</ul>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;">Honestly, I can't imagine beginning the school year without it. </span></span><div>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Questrial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">For an assortment of reasons, it is definitely in our best interest to be completely aware of exactly what we plan to do with our kiddos while ensuring that we will “hit it all” during the school year. The best and most efficient way to do that is with backwards planning.</span></div>

Add that to the fact that the coldest weather of the year is here so it's time to hydrate your face, body, and lips. Luckily, EOS products are here to keep you comfortable. I have probably 5 of those little lip balms in my purse, car glove compartment and even in my ski jacket. Life SAVER! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Because I lack that skill of putting on your lipstick without a mirror, I usually use the natural colored balm, but I also like a little tint, so I have a few of those too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">1. Smooth lips </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">EOS stands for Evolution Of Smooth (did you know that?), and this line can prove that your lips stay happy against the storm. The popular egg shape is easy to stash in your pocket or purse with a smoothing balm you can apply anytime. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">2. Tinted and shimmer </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">When you want to feel fancy, <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.influenster.com/reviews/eostm-organic-lip-balm-summer-fruit">EOS lip balm</a></span> products will do the trick. Lovely shades match your lips and can add shimmer when you're ready to perfect your pucker. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Tinted colors accentuate your natural lip tone for a subtle flush. In addition, shimmering blends are soft and shiny for a touch of glow atop your pout. </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">3. Medicated varieties </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Lip care isn't always about the look. If you suffer from dry lips (hand raised high) or skin problems, you can be assured this brand will look out for your well being. Medicated and SPF balms are great for day to day use and will keep you protected no matter what the season. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">If you're familiar with EOS, you know the packaging is key. This brand went above and beyond with colors to please their buyers and lovely prints for a lip balm that will stand out among the crowd. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">With EOS lip balm, you can find bundles of flavors that go together or standalone balms that taste as good as they feel. Lip balms such as Pomegranate Raspberry and <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.target.com/b/eos/-/N-t73ck">Strawberry Sorbet</a></span> evoke the feeling of freshness on your lips (or wips as my kindergarten students call them.)</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif; font-size: 9.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;">Sweet and Vanilla Mint are great for winter freshness upon your pucker. These long-lasting balms provide healing qualities and are easy to stash in your purse or pocket. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Hi Peeps!<br />
I love incorporating phonics and sight word practice with chunky monkey. This phonics strategy is awesome for beginning readers.<br />
<br />
It is important, however, for beginning readers to address the strategies in realistic situations as well as in isolation.<br />
<br />
In <a href="https://traciclausen.com/2017/07/7-key-components-to-effective-and-engaging-reading-instruction.html">7 Key Components to Effective and Engaging Instruction</a> I stressed the importance of working on both phonics and sight words in independent and guided practice. This incorporates rigor, builds mastery, and improves fluency.<br />
<br />
It is essential that students build confidence in working independently with phonic and sight word skills. One of the best ways to do that is by incorporating these important reading skills in as many things as possible.<br />
<br />
I often have my students highlight or circle phonic chunks as well as the sight words we are studying for the week in worksheets and readings that we do throughout the week. Students notice the chunks of focus are not found in isolation. They are in every day text.<br />
<br />
THIS is common core. Real life application. Understanding new learning in the context of where it is found in the real world.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">I wanted to quickly stop by and let you know that I have been having a 'whale of a time' recently, completely and utterly inspired by some sketches I've been doing and books we have been reading here at home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">My little boy Sam (he's in Kindergarten) has just hit his sweet-spot in reading and literally cannot stop pulling books from our shelves. He has also started drawing All. The. Things. But I will save that for another post!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;">If you have missed some of the whale resources I have shared recently, be sure to pop over and get them today.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">When, why and how to teach children about whales?</span></h4>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Besides being awfully cute and engaging, whales make a perfect stimulus for many learning activities in the classroom:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">learning the consonant digraph 'wh'</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">learning to write animal information reports (there are loads of interesting and awesome facts about whales to research)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">responding to literature (there are a plethora of beautiful texts featuring whales)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">learning about our world and environment in science (children on the east coast of Australia may be currently witnessing whales and their calves in the ocean and at the beach - use this as a springboard for learning about these fascinating creatures)</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white;">looking at photos and pictures of whales and their habitat to inspire some lovely expressive artworks</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;">Please stop by my blog to find these goodies, I would love to share them with you. I look forward to sharing some more ideas with you next week. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>WHY DO I LOVE </b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>PAPERLESS NUMBER TALKS</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A couple of years ago, I started using digital/paperless Number Talks during my guided math block. The results from this simple, powerful teaching practice blew me away. They instantly became the perfect math warm-up! My students were engaged in meaningful discussions focused on mental math and computational strategies. They were building their understanding of number sense and flexibility in number thinking. The benefits of this daily (5-10 minutes) Number Talk routine was also evident throughout the rest of our math time. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">To make Number Talks effective for my students, as well as for me, I started carefully crafting problems into digital slides each week. It didn't take long for me to realize that digital Number Talks are AMAZING! All I had to do each day was open up a slideshow and my Number Talk lesson was ready. Such a time saver! Since Number Talks are all about the process of mental math computation and sharing strategies, the digital/paperless format was perfection.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. Students mentally figure out
the answer
(no paper or pencil) and
give a
thumbs up to show that they
have at least one solution. *Students can put additional fingers up
if they have more than one way to solve the problem. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Example: Two fingers up means I have two
ways to solve the problem.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">3. Students share their thinking as the teacher records (students can also record). During this time, the teacher is asking questions like: "How did you get your answer?" and/or "Why did you use that strategy?". Incorrect solutions
and methods can and should be part of Number Talks.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "questrial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "questrial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">Taking a day off as a teacher means writing sub plans. We all know how much that weighs on whether or not we take that day! In my little world, life has been in the way a lot recently and that has resulted in quite a few sub days. For these days, I am so thankful for the things that make planning for a day I can’t be in the classroom so much easier.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">Running a responsible classroom is something we've worked hard to accomplish each year for over 20 years. It seems as time has gone by, there is a greater need to teach these small humans to care, share, and be aware of themselves, others, their surroundings, and their belongings. Truth be told, these lessons (on being responsible) were once presumed to be home parenting lessons. Truth be told, they are not always assumed to be home parenting lessons nowadays. So we do what we do best...We teach...Reading, writing, math, science, social studies, art, PE, music, </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: large; text-align: center;">and </i><span style="background-color: white; color: #4c4c4c; font-family: "century gothic"; font-size: medium; text-align: center;">responsibility. That's a lot of responsibility for all of us! </span><br />

Are things like my neck of the woods where you are? Our district has embraced NGSS but we don't have a single thing that covers those standards on site!<br />

In a few weeks we are starting our NGSS unit on patterns and predictability found in our space systems.<br />

Hi, Erica from Erica's Ed-Ventures here. I wanted to share with you some photos from my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Erica-Bohrer/Category/Farmhouse-Decor-261218">farmhouse / fixer upper style theme</a>d classroom. I did keep the original furniture from my <a href="http://ericabohrer.blogspot.com/p/my-classroom.html">polka dot themed room</a> and changed out all my bright bins and bright accents to burlap and galvanized metal.</div>

Hi there!<br />
<br />
This is Deedee from <a href="http://mrswillskindergarten.com/" target="_blank">Mrs. Wills Kindergarten!</a> I wanted to share a throwback post I did over on my blog!<br />
<br />
Back in 2011, I helped lead a pretty sizable blog book study with this fantastic book! I did a little resource roundup and if you are feeling like a boatload of summer free files, let me tell you where to start!<br />
<br />
Here are just a few of the things you will find!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hey there Blog Hoppers! It's Christy and Tammy from <a href="http://www.flutteringthroughfirstgrade.com/">Fluttering Through First Grade</a>! Getting our class to listen consistently can be one of our bigger challenges in today's classroom. Kids today just have a lot to say! So, we've made it our lesson plan mission to get our kids actively listening and participating in their learning every day, in every way. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are a few of our favorite tips and tricks for getting kids to listen in the classroom!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybzi4rmiEOx44kJwqi5T2rYhGICTJBJpYBp1H1PPUtOt68BkOwv9qJfC7sH70NWxodxGX-HRNjqj5aY4IosXXJKCp1nnQlZVa_TE1TqfvfahnT5VIAZo9tV6QEuru2Ecd82Z8Gba5XFE/s1600/Listen+Up+TpT+Store+Quote.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiybzi4rmiEOx44kJwqi5T2rYhGICTJBJpYBp1H1PPUtOt68BkOwv9qJfC7sH70NWxodxGX-HRNjqj5aY4IosXXJKCp1nnQlZVa_TE1TqfvfahnT5VIAZo9tV6QEuru2Ecd82Z8Gba5XFE/s640/Listen+Up+TpT+Store+Quote.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Providing expectations for listening in our classroom sets the stage for success. We love keeping visual reminders for all sorts of things in our class, and listening is no exception. This Listen reminder hangs front and center in our classroom to remind students how they should be listening from head to toe. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAlOA3y0j7yc18i1Lhz7XdUkiXFOAG0xl0lcVddYtENysYmvq_dGtB3gf32QiIqYQqBWTyKxVeeDi-K76iC-rPEAEK6-pGzDt5GHZDadX0ZiO56hAHXtmwwPU2SisCYT1WdZnwQiLLw5k/s640/RRWU3365.jpg" width="640" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, you've just got to sing the listening into them! When things get chatty, we get chiming. All it takes is a few of our future The Voice contestants to join our melody and before we know it they're all singing along about listening and not talking anymore. Score! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">You can download our <a href="http://www.flutteringthroughfirstgrade.com/2014/12/visual-reminders-for-listening.html">Visual Reminders for Listening</a> and <a href="http://www.flutteringthroughfirstgrade.com/2014/12/visual-reminders-for-listening.html">Are You Listening? song poster</a> from our blog.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the best things we've created for our classroom to support their developing listening skills are our <a href="http://www.flutteringthroughfirstgrade.com/2014/02/listen-up-were-listening.html">Listen Up Auditory Activities</a>. They help focus our students' attention first thing in the morning, after recess, before lunch, at the end of the day, in centers, whole group, with parent volunteers, with a substitute teacher...Pretty much anytime of day!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIdzKVewcLA33jyHxze683Ta1f-BGywd5Y9SFYhGsgEbWGhpZwDlQk-Orn_hUg45y8Wi9B10sgYeCoC7lUADr9DjFnGE4NESF3KAyD_PT-JbFNjMwYt5DnyIuvBMqwnP4qMKhGSTkloJg/s640/Listen+Up+Accountability+Slip.png" width="640" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Holding students accountable for their listening is a huge part of our Listen Up program. We ask them to reflect so we can better understand their understanding (informal assessment) and we use the reflection slips as an opportunity to conference individually with students for various reasons. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Data tracking their Listen Up skills helps us intervene as necessary as well as conference efficiently with parents!</span></div>

<br />
This is Cindy, from <a href="http://lovethosekinders-kinderkay.blogspot.com/">Kinderkay Love Those Kinders</a>. I thought that I would share with you a few ideas for teaching peace and kindness to our kiddos. I always find that reviewing positive character traits in the middle of the school year is helpful for beginning the last semester...<br />
<br />
I have found nothing better than this "crumpled" heart activity. I cannot remember when I first saw a presenter show this to a group of us, but the impact of it has stayed with me for many years. This simple visual of showing kids how unkind words cause hearts to crumple is powerful. After we discuss how words can be just as cruel as fists, my kids create 2 paper hearts. I tell them to choose one heart and crumple it up. It is always a shock to my kiddos when I tell them to do this! They glue the hearts to a 12" x 18" piece of construction paper. They decorate the crumpled heart with a sad face and the uncrumpled one with a happy face. They then glue the kind and unkind words around the appropriate heart. If you would like the words for this activity, click the image below. <br />

Acceptance of the differences of others is something that we talk about a lot throughout the year. In conjunction with MLK Day, I read "The Color of Us" by Karen Katz.<br />
<br />
<br />
This is a wonderful story about a little girl who notices all the beautiful colors of skin in her neighborhood. After reading the book, we compare the lovely shades of our skin and create a class book about "the color of us." <br />

Using character traits to teach kids to settle their differences peacefully as well as learn to co-exist in peacefulness is a great way to instill these traits within our students. Basing character traits on picture books is also a great way to make an abstract concept visual.<br />
<br />

In this story, Ruthie finds a teeny, tiny camera on the playground. She loves teeny, tiny things and decides to keep it. The problem is that it doesn't belong to her. She tells a lie and soon finds out that feeling guilty is not a good way to feel...... This story is so awesome for teaching honesty!<br />
<br />
When we are finished with our discussion, the kids create Ruthie and write a few sentences about how they can be honest in their own lives. If you would like a FREE copy of the Ruthie resource, click the image below for a Google doc.<br />
