Author's Chair and Post office idea

Here is the author's chair I made to read to my future children in. Beekle is one of the books I want to read to my students.
The post office idea is a way to get children to love writing again. This came from my children's literature professor.

Guided Reading and Lit centers

Guided Reading article Found here:

In education emails in my gmail.

Literature centers is in my gmail as well.

Centers (Literature Methods I)

Centers must be... self-sustaining, fits core, guided instruction.

Center Ideas;

Charts: If you charted something you laminate it and kids read charts while wearing the mustache and glasses.
Big Book: Kids read aloud Ex: "Maps are the best big books to use"
Book Nook: Create a comfy and cozy place to read.
Overhead projector: use for shadow puppets, pull out file folders of poems and songs.
Word work games: all the decoding games you have in file folders.
Readers theater: make their own and perform it.
Poetry Box: Lots of poems in here that kids can read.
Journals: Each student has a journal and the teacher writes back to the teacher.
Computer: "The Epic!" is a great site and you would just have the students sign in
Pocket Charts: Telling stories or reviewing vocab.
Writing Centers: is where you leave paper, glitter, scissors and kids start writing.
White-board cards: students would write down what they wanted or list what was on the cards example: what is your favorite food and kids would write responses on the whiteboard. Ex: what would you see at a carnival?
Letters/Post Office: Write letters to kids whose bday it is. Or you can make a school-wide post office. Sixth graders applied for each position in the post office and switch groups every term. Kids would write a letter every day to write to anyone in the school and each class had directions like larry lane.
Stamp stories: Kids would stamp the picture and write a few words.
Magazine Stories: Stories about a picture in the magazine.
Writing Directions: Put a pot of gold in the classroom and they would write directions for another student to follow.
Poetry Writing: A compilation of poems for kids to read or practice writing.

**Maintenance: If kids leave open four markers open and then the teacher acts dramatic about losing the markers for being dry and the students learn to respect the materials.
-Last 10 MINUTES: ONE OF THE GROUPS GET TO SHARE WHAT THEY DID IN THE CENTER.
-Look at article 10 and download it.

More tips from Miss. Butler

Management Tips

1. Students get to move their clip up when they have good behavior.

2. Giving each table points for being ready to listen and being on tasks.

3. Having the entire class earn marbles to win a prize. 

-Have the students practice how to walk in the hallways if they don't do it right the first time. 

-Change the students seating arrangements monthly. (more if need be)

Miss Butlers Tips

Here are some tips I learned in my 1st-grade field experience!

Classroom Management Tips
1. Teacher says 1,2,3 eyes on me... students say 1,2,3, eyes on you!
2. Teacher says "Hands on top"...students say everybody stop!
3. Have a student show the other students how to quietly line up.
4. Have all of the students use the restroom before recess. It eliminates a lot of wasted time.
5. Teachers that complain they don't have enough time in the day need to cut down on all the transition times and have the students move quicker.

Materials
1. Have the students get new pencils, markers, etc QUARTERLY so that way the materials don't get lost or ruined early in the year.
2. Make sponges filled with glue in containers to help control the mess of glue.
3. Have the teacher sharpen pencils only.

Marriage Quote

If I had fears of this topic...

“I remember contemplating the idea of actually choosing one person forever and sticking with them, and how that's not supposed to feel like a death sentence or a ball and chain and it was beyond me how people could ever do that. And then Heavenly Father put this idea into my mind. He kind of asked me "Do you ever tire of the sun? Do you ever get sick of feeling the warm rays on your face or get your fill of sunny days? Or max out on sunsets?" And of course, I thought "no way!" So I just rested my mind knowing that one day I would just find someone I could love like the sun. Of course you need a break sometimes but it would be a love that would invite you back over and over and for some reason you couldn't say no.” Quote by my talented friend @marnilv

Mrs. Yardley (6th Grade) Idea's

I've loved my first semester of field experience in the schools. It has allowed me time to learn so much from so many wonderful talented teachers and my amazing partner Liz who I get to teach with daily.

Tips from Yardley:
-She has a binder that she continually adds to in the SUMMER time of ideas.
-She has her social studies, lang arts, and science all inter relate day by day planned. For example when they learn about ancient Greece in their social studies, then learn about Astronomy and Greek God/Godesses in science, and in the reading they read books about Astronomers/Greek God/Godesses. Also making their VOCAB words they learn in math, science etc.
-In lang arts she has them write in their own notebook.

Holiday's in the classroom

On a piece of paper students draw themselves on that holiday and on the other side of the paper is an actual picture of them on that day!
