Reading Street Trifold Templates

My days as an Instructional Specialist are busy conducting data meetings, analyzing data, reporting out the data, and participating in lots of professional development.  I recently had a request inquiring about the Reading Street trifolds.  After doing a little searching, I came across a blank template from proteacher.net.  Click {here} if you are interesting in downloading the template.  As Reading Street publishes new versions of their Reading series, the page numbers often change.  Hopefully this template will help those of you with a different version than my district.  Happy Teaching!

Reading Street's The Twin Club

Hello everyone!  Long time no see!  I've been in training after training it seems all month long.  Although I am now an Instructional Specialist, I will still be working with 2nd graders in Reading.  I have created a weekly game board that goes along with Reading Street's story The Twin Club from  Unit One Week One.  Last year I didn't start making the games until about one month into the school year, so if you were missing some of the games I made last school year hopefully, I will be able to complete the missing ones.  Although, since our state has moved to CCSS, I may not be listing any of the missing stories in the same order that the publisher has them.

 I hope to post pictures of my new room soon.  I'm still completing a few tasks before I'm ready to take pictures!  Have a great week!!

Common Core State Standards Pacing Guides

I apologize for my lack of blogging lately.  I have been busy with one thing after another.  One of those tasks was partaking in developing pacing guides for K-3 for my school district.  This was a huge project that involved over 30 people.  They are now live on our school district.  Take a look at them and let me know if you can use them too.

Besides working during my summer, I've also been busy with being a mommy!  We've been on the go with swim lessons, VBS, trips to the park, play dates, and pictures.  This little girl really keeps me on my toes!

I've also noticed that I have over 300 followers!  Thanks everyone for all of your support!  The blogging community is FABULOUS!!!!

Tribute to The Vintage Teacher

Every Friday I was excited to check my blog roll and see the 5 Freebies that Pamela Woods of The Vintage Teacher would always post.  A while back I noticed that her posts stopped.  I was very saddened to learn that she recently passed away.

This Friday my weekly freebie is in honor of her.  You will always be remembered and missed by so many!

Teachers Notebook has honored her family's request to list all of Pam's products for free as her family feels that is the legacy Pam would have wanted to leave for teachers everywhere. You can visit her store HERE to see her amazing products. So Pam will also be participating in the best Freebie Friday ever.  So here's my weekly game board.  It goes along with our Reading Street Series Bad Dog Dodger.

The First Tortilla Power Point

Also,  we did get to see some wonderful hot air balloons up close yesterday!  I was actually in the bathroom and suddenly heard this loud noise outside.   I thought, "What in the world!"   Then I heard a fire roaring noise several seconds later.  We ran outside and took these pictures in our neighborhood.

This one was the first balloon to arrive in our neighborhood.  It landed right around the corner from our house .

Here's another one that was going down behind our neighbor's house across the street.

This one was right above our back yard.

Also I've been having a hard time linking a picture to another site in Blogger recently.  Is anyone else having this problem?  Have a great week everyone!

The Night the Moon Fell
