<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the super fun units of writing we conduct in first grade is HOW TO writing! The
firsties are excited to write everyday and I love teaching it! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When we start the unit, we make a large class list of things we are good at doing. I
like to make an anchor chart titled: <u>Our Class SUPERSTAR</u> list! Students raise their hands and share things they know how to do well. I try to direct students to share specific activities such as: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">-making pancakes</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-walking a dog</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">-jumping on the trampoline</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I like to staple this poster to our <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rainbow-Writing-Board-4849468">Writing Wall</a> so students can reference it throughout the whole unit!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Next, I give each student their own superstar paper and have
them write their own lists of things they are good at doing. They will keep
these in their writing folders and look at them throughout the unit when they need help coming up with ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Within the unit I do a ton of modeling. I model "how to" pieces throughout the unit
in the form of read alouds and I demonstrate my own writing process on anchor charts while doing a think aloud. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last, I love to give my students fun opportunities to
publish their writing or complete a fun craftivity! I usually do a themed read aloud, writing prompt and small craft on Fridays. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">What is PBL? Project-based learning is an approach in which
students explore real-world problems and challenges to acquire a deeper
knowledge. Students learn about a subject by working for an extended period of
time to investigate and respond to a complex question, challenge, or problem. It
is a style of active
learning and inquiry-based
learning. PBL is different from teacher-led instruction where the teacher
presents facts and the students complete a worksheet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">When my school underwent training for the PBL model of teaching,
I thought: “this sounds GREAT, but how the heck would a six-year-old do this?” I was trained
and had only taught with a traditional style of teaching and the idea of first
graders somehow magically working independently on a research project seemed
laughable. HILARIOUS.</span></div>

be able to choose their project that would display their learning. What would
that look like for first graders who have never made a poster, pamphlet, diorama,

conduct without each PBL unit turning into a parent project? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

biggest struggle with PBL in first grade is: not everyone is reading! How are
they supposed to do research? Well with the help of symbaloo and YouTube this
is SO EASY! You can link videos from YouTube to your symbaloo page and students
can view them without ads! Plus, there are so many great videos and read alouds
on YouTube.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Guided Research: I “guided” students research by
providing them with graphic organizers that they were already familiar with to
write their research on. I used the time during the mini lesson to remind them
of their research goal and sometimes model how to write research. This helped
students keep track of their new learning and information. During the research time,
I would walk around the room and visually monitor each student’s progress, ask
questions and check in with my struggling readers/writers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Choice: The very first PBL I ever tried with my firsties was about Desert Animal Adaptations. Within the PBL there were 3 choices for their project to display their learning.... and that PBL CRASHED AND BURNED! So now, i</span><span style="font-size: large;">n the beginning of the year in first grade during our first PBL, we all complete the SAME project but students are given a choice when it came to what content would be
included. This met with the PBL guideline of giving students <u><b>choice </b></u>and freedom
to pursue their interests but let me model and guide students in completing
their projects. This helped HUGELY! Throughout the year a</span><span style="font-size: large;">s I modeled different types of projects, by the end of the year I am able to offer the firsties choices, letting them choose between 1-3 projects
and successfully complete them independently.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The hardest part of taking a day off is the hours it takes to plan for the sub, am I right?!?!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Towards the end of the school year, our firsties take a trip to a Dinosaur Museum! I love tying in dinosaur themed activities around the time of our field trip. It's SO HARD to keep the littles engaged in the last few weeks and DINOSAURS make my job a little easier ;) </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I HATE just leaving subs with packets or worksheets, so I also created anchor charts to help guide them in teaching lessons to the first graders. These will keep the lessons short and sweet but give the students a visual aide to help them successfully complete their work, even in your absence.</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;">Also included are these sub report & note pages. I like to print these blank and add notes to them by hand.</span></div>

Click the picture or click <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Egyptian-Hieroglyphics-4592657#show-price-update">HERE </a>to download this fun Hieroglyphics worksheet! Students learn to write just like the Ancient Egyptian Scribes and write in Hieroglyphics. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My class has so. much. FUN. every year when we complete our Ancient Egypt Studies! </span><br />
<br />
Each day I start by presenting a PowerPoint that teaches my kids about a fun topic from Ancient Egyptian Times!<br />
<br />
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">The Topics I Cover in my Ancient Egypt Unit Are: </span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. Egypt on the Map</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Who Were the Ancient Egyptians? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. Ancient Egyptian Food</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Egyptian Daily Life</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Who Were the Pharaohs?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. What Were the Pyramids?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. MUMMIES!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics</span><br />
<br />
After the PowerPoint presentation, students and I read the reading passage for the day and they complete a quick worksheet that correlates with the PowerPoint and reading passage.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is what our lesson would look like on the day we learn about MUMMIES!</span><br />
<br />
First we would have our Mummy PowerPoint Presentation. This PowerPoint has 8 informative slides about mummies, why they were made and how they were made. At the end there is a quiz!<br />

<br />
After the passage, we complete a Mummy worksheet! I have made 2 worksheets to go with each ancient Egyptian topic. This gives me choices each year, or extension activities for my fast finishers!<br />

<br />
After we complete the worksheet, either that day or the next we will do the Mummy STEM challenge! (Depends on how much time we have) For Mummies, we complete the Mummy Wrap Challenge!<br />
<br />
This activity comes with a recording sheet and parent handouts requesting toilet paper donations :)<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This is such a fun and EASY activity for the holiday season! You all know how much I love "craftivities" that are just color and cut. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This stocking writing pack includes the story: A Christmas Orange. It's a touching Christmas story that my mom used to tell us every year around Christmas time. This would also be an extra special read aloud if you brought each student an orange! </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are well into the school year and STILL launching our Daily 5 rotations!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Every class is different and this year my class needs a lot of modeling and a lot of extra practice working independently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT the one rotation we have finished building our stamina on is WRITING!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I absolutely love writing and I love creating fun writing products that are easy for my students to grab and go. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This October I put out my Halloween Writing Pack and it has been a HUGE hit!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I use a colored cart with 8 labeled drawers for students to choose their writing options from. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Choice is the BEST way to get students excited about writing as well as keeping them from getting bored of doing the same activity every day! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE this work on writing pack because I can make copies and then leave it out in my writing cart all month! </div>

This is THE favorite activity during work on writing! The first drawer in my writing cart is full of stickers ( I change them out seasonally) and students grab 3 stickers and a paper and go back to their seat to work. I have them put their 3 stickers down, sketch their story with a pencil and write their story!</div>

I've used this Christmas break to re-organize my reading block, as well as plan out new lessons for my intervention block. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may have also watched about a thousand hours of Grey's Anatomy ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my goals for this new year is to give my students MORE phonics and spelling practice. To prepare them for second grade, I'm starting to transition away from the "play" spelling & word work centers, such as magnet boards and matching games, and holding them more accountable with these worksheets. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this new word work pack, there are 17 worksheets to help students get meaningful practice with words ending in -ng!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can find this pack in my TPT Store <b><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Fundations-Level-1-Unit-7-Word-Work-2282417">HERE!</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I also spent this break helping my sister set up her new classroom! Here are a few pictures I was able to snap as we finished the other night:</div>

I am always the first person to go for a craftivity. But can I just tell you how nice it was to do a writing project that also didn't involve a huge cute and paste art project? My writing block is VERY tiny - so it was so nice to actually do a writing project that was easy and enjoyable for the students. </div>

I love Christmas time with my firsties!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is a bulletin board my mom did for 30 years and I plan to carry on the tradition. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First, I hang my reindeer on my bulletin board:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I read my students A Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Anderson</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We make a circle map as a class to brainstorm all the things we would wish for this Christmas. After reading this story - I guide students to make choices like: World Peace, Food for all the Hungry, My Grandma not to Be Sick...etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then students create this quick and very easy craftivity:</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They write at least one sentence about what their wish for Christmas is, then color around the lines/the back! I even let them use a little glitter glue :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last I hang the ornaments from the Reindeer Antlers. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year we will be completing this fun writing activity in my classroom!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we will read:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51P8kkWunBL._SY398_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we will discuss Santa's LONG journey around the world. How TIRED he must be. How he probably needs new clothes, new mittens, maybe a new sleigh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I pose the question: <b>What do you think Mrs. Claus should get Santa for Christmas?</b> (Keeping in mind everything we just discussed). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I encourage students to think of things Santa may really need (and they always come up with pretty funny ones, like a trip to the Bahamas!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/What-Should-Mrs-Claus-get-Santa-for-Christmas-Writing-Activity-2223314"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqV7uOqMBS2pZlCLai2BSWThUIyP5Cbq-HMR-fOKA_ac5YjE5v3xOfUP2qr9HhhGqb0JN3DOmu6ZbKh3AGBPW6dL7GsR25LVlVRB9LT6gZtwoRxVyqPnrDXRckrGj9TpbTt6hLGexYOBg/s640/Preview+for+Mrs.+Claus.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After we brainstorm as a class, students will use the brainstorming worksheets, rough draft paper and final draft paper to complete their writing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I love November!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Changing my bulletin board is sometimes the LAST thing I want to do at the end of a long day. But, I L-O-V-E how excited my kiddos get when they see the new board for their projects!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This month I went with a giant Thankful Turkey. Here is my progression:</div>

I used my smart board to trace circles on the different sized papers and I free handed the rest. He turned out pretty stinkin' cute!<br />

I created a PDF version of my bulletin board so I would have it for years to come! If you would like to create your own "Thankful Turkey" you can find it at my tpt store <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Thankful-Turkey-Bulletin-Board-2221530">HERE!</a><span id="goog_21279952"></span><span id="goog_21279953"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><br />

Happy Teaching!<br />
