I would need to change it a bit to be able to get away with doing it with my 5th graders.

I love using picture books to jump start a lesson. My third pick uses Caralyn Buehner book Snowmen at Night to get the students writing. Even though this freebie is geared to younger students I think this writing prompt could easily be adapted to work for my 5th graders.

Pick 3: November Pinterest Linky!

The holiday season is almost upon us. Are you looking for some inspiration? Check out my top 3 picks for November.

In my opinion, children always enjoy being read to no matter what their age. My students not only love when I read from our classroom read aloud chapter book they also enjoy when I read them  picture books. Below is a wonderful list of Thanksgiving picture books.

 I don't think children get nearly enough time in the day to be creative. So I love it when I can incorporate art into their writing. This is a cute activity that they can bring home and share with their families.

Pick 3: October Pinterest Linky

I love October in the classroom. The weather is finally cooling off and the trees outside my classroom are starting to change color. October also means the Pick 3 Linky is here.

I love doing team building activities with my class. I love it even more when they are holiday themed. Since we don't celebrate halloween at my school this will be a neat activity to do instead.

Pick 3 - September Linky

What happened to the summer?

The good news is that it is once again time for the Pick 3 Linky hosted by PAWSitively Teaching and the Inspired Owl's Corner.

Here are my 3 picks!

I know many of your are already back to school but September brings the first day of school for me. So right now my head is fixed on first day activities and open house ideas.

The first few days are all about getting to know your students. It is so important to take the time to get to know your students and let them get to know you. When they know you care about them, they are more willing to take risks and be invested in their own learning.

The activity below is one I have thought about doing for a while. This year I am finally going to do it and hang it up in the hall in time for Open House.

I always like having a treat for the parents when they arrive at open house. Last year I gave out peppermints. This year I want to change it up. Who doesn't love popcorn?

I absolutely love this idea. This will be my third year using the parent wish jar at open house.

It is great way to start to get to know your parent. The answer to the following question is very telling.  "If you had one wish this year for your child, what would it be?" I usually pull the jar back out around conference time to see how we are doing on accomplishing their wishes.
