Hi! I usually use them as a way to see if the students know definitions... or I give them a chance to write definitions in their own words. Sometimes I have them illustrate or draw an example. For math, they might solve a problem or make a graph that illustrates the term. I use them in any way that I can. :) They are basically used as exit tickets most of the time, but you can use them explicitly to teach terms by having them write a definition, draw an example, etc.

How do you use these?
May 10, 2013

You fold them in half, and cut on the vertical lines (on the front) to make flaps. The students write on the inside. They can write definitions, draw pictures, and/or solve problems. You can also use them as formative assessment tools.

I do realize it's part of your larger unit for sale; however I'm just looking to focus on synthesizing and would love to have it!

Hi Amanda,
Quick question...if you look at the meaning of the word "glided" under the Coaching Session on Football Frenzy I'm wondering if there is an error regarding the 3 choices? I'm thinking none of them would be the correct answer, but I've been wrong before! I have this ready to go for next week, but I wanted to double check with you first before I go any further in preparation.
Thanks & have a a great weekend!

I absolutely love these as they are cute and wonderfully worded from what I can see. I was wondering if I could have a copy of the common core standards (not your I can statements that you obviously worked hard on :) ) that you used for second grade; a list of them. In Canada (where I teach) we have different standards and I would like to see how many match up with the standards here.

March 11, 2013
One Extra Degree (TpT Seller)
All of the student print-outs are in black and white. The colored pages are either directions (which do not need to be printed) or are posters. If I print the posters to use with my kids, I print the originals in grayscale and then copy them in black and white on my school printer. Also, if you are concerned about ink, and you have a projector or SMARTboard, you can project the posters that way. I like to do that, because it enlarges everything really well! :) There are twelve colorful posters, should you choose to copy them in color for every kid.

After downloading the sticky notes, how will students be able to "stick' them on their reading pages?
March 10, 2013
One Extra Degree (TpT Seller)
Hi! You use real sticky notes with them. :) I always have my kids build anchor charts with them as a class, or I will have them search for certain things like maybe figurative language in the text and attach the post-its to the book. Eventually, the sticky notes have to come out. This gives the post-its a home, and helps parents understand the purpose and context of the sticky notes. It also helps support my students so they know what they are looking for in their texts, especially during small group or independent work. My students LOVE them. I just stick three post-its on each mat. If you want to see how I use them, you can read this post: http://oneextradegree.blogspot.com/2013/02/sticky-note-jot-spots-for-accountable.html
If you are interested, I just stumbled upon another teacher's post about how they used my jot spots. I love the chart she created to show how to use them! http://kooncescorner.blogspot.com/2013/02/jot-spots-and-response-cards.html

Hi, Sandra! I suppose my honest answer is perhaps. What do you have in mind?

Hello,
Does your biography project include an oral and a written portion? I am really trying to incorporate both into the project.
Thank You!

Yes, the kids write a speech about their person, and then they recite the speech during the Wax Museum any time someone pushes their "button". :) I had them present to the class before opening it up for parents/other classes to visit our classroom.

Amanda, is your blog OK? I wasn't sure, and just wanted to make sure it hadn't been hacked! Thanks!

Hi! Oh my goodness. My blog is a hot mess. It's a long story, but my old design is gone. So, I am temporarily using a Blogger template until I can beg enough and pay someone to redesign my blog. :) Thanks for checking on me. I am pretty bummed by it.

I love the focus wall and "I Can" statements you have for fourth grade ELA; do you have anything similar for math?

Thank you! I had planned on making them this summer. Since I teach third grade and I'm in year two in a new district with a new curriculum, I am just trying to focus on my third grade kiddos at the moment. It's in the plans though. :)

I see that you are having a 20% off sale. Is this on everything or only certain items? I have a couple of things I want to buy but don't want to until I find out if they are on sale :)

Hi! Sorry for the confusion! Sometimes I like to put my new items on sale for 20% off when I first list them. I only had one item on sale. Sorry about that! :)

smoreland re: Daily 5: Posters and Rotation Cards! (UPDATED!)
Can you tell me what font you used on each of the cards? I'm using these in a rotation chart and would like to match the font on my kids' name cards. Thanks so much!

The font is called "Elephants in Cherry Trees". It's a free font. If you Google it, it should come right up! :)

Debbie Ruff re: Sub Tub & Substitute Binder Resources!
I don't have the Zip file...don't want to pay for it. I wish the SUB TUB was available as a PDF. Why do you offer it as a zip file?
February 23, 2013
One Extra Degree (TpT Seller)
The pdf is included in the zip file. You computer automatically unzips the file so that you can have access to the folder. The folder contains an editable Powerpoint file, and it also contains an pdf file that cannot be edited. I offer it as a zip file, because my followers wanted an editable file, so I created a Powerpoint file that protected images to offer that version to the people who were asking for it. I realize, however that not everyone has Powerpoint, so I also wanted to offer it as a pdf. The zip file just means that I put it into a folder and condensed it so that I could share both files with you. It's not a separate program.

Could you tell me if there is a faster way to delete the "Type Here" on all of the lines? I'm just doing it one line at a time, but thought there might be an easier/faster way. I have a Mac.

I WISH I could tell you an easier way, but you can only do it one line at a time. I had to adapt this file from an old Pages file to a Powerpoint file, and to make it editable, I had to create all of those text boxes. Sorry for the inconvenience! It was the only way I could adapt my Sub Tub to make it adaptable. :)

Hi There!
Do you have ELA CC can do statements for 2nd grade? I see you have 3rd and 4th. Just wondering?
Thank you!

Not at this point in time. I would like to create them this summer, if I have time. I've had several requests. I just haven't taken the time to do it this school year since my focus is on my third graders at the moment. :) Sorry!

I just bought your 100 Day Center and I love it!!! Our day is on Wednesday.
I think you have a typo on one of the vocabulary cards. Slide 31...you have centi/hundredth as .001 and it should be .01

nancydrav4 re: Strategy Songs: Metacognition Through Music!
Hi Amanda! I downloaded the songs in early Feb., but I believe there is still an error on the prediction song. The tune has been corrected (London Bridge) but my color copy still stays "I Make Connections" instead of "I Make Predictions." My kiddos are having so much fun singing "I Wonder When We Read" and are looking forward to learning other strategy songs. Your creativity is so refreshing!

Nancy, I am so sorry I've fallen behind with keeping up with TpT. So embarrassing! :) I must have deleted my original copy, so it looks like I may have to totally recreate this from scratch to make the change. Big bummer. I will not be able to do what for a few days, but I will try to do it this weekend. Sorry! Thanks for always being supportive.

Top Priority Teaching (TpT Seller) re: Farm Bowling: Bowling for Products!
Hi! I played this game yesterday with my class and noticed one board has the number 7 on it. If we use a 6-sided dice, how will we ever roll a product of 7? I noticed it was only on one board though, so it didn't interrupt our game. We just used it as a FREE space :)
February 8, 2013
One Extra Degree (TpT Seller)
Hi! I made that product with an old computer with software that I don't own anymore. If I ever remake it, I will fix it. I just don't foresee creating it from scratch with Powerpoint, to be honest. I am so sorry for the mistake though. I am glad you were able to use it as a free space. I hope your students enjoy the game!

Hi Amanda! You do great work! Sooo creative! :o) I accidentally bought the 4th Grade ELA Common Core I Can Statements! I haven't downloaded them from my account yet. Is there a way I can switch them for the 3rd grade ones? (Precisely why I should be in bed right now instead of shopping online, but I couldn't resist!) Please let me know! Thanks!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Over the past seven years, I have fallen in LOVE with third grade. Teaching and creating is my passion! :)
MY TEACHING STYLE
I believe that teaching stretches far beyond the content areas. First and foremost, I work on establishing strong relationships with my students based on trust, mutual respect, and empathy. I realize that I am educating little people, and that even little people have problems that occasionally distract them from learning. I embrace this, and strive to meet their emotional and academic needs while at school. Sometimes we all need a pat on the back or a supportive smile to get us through the day. Beyond that, I take a child-centered approach to learning. I feel that if I say or do too much I am, in fact, inhibiting the students’ learning. My instruction is very much interactive, hands-on, authentic, and tailored to meet each individual student’s needs as much as possible. I want the students to think intently and critically to find solutions, reflect on their learning, and gain independence. My role is to facilitate this learning and encourage them along the way. I provide the opportunities and then support as they complete assignments to ensure that every child feels a level of success and confidence in my classroom.

MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I have a Masters in Literacy Curriculum & Instruction! *Ultimate Goal: I would like obtain my Doctorate and perhaps work as a professor or Literacy Coach.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
I am an exceptionally lucky person who genuinely enjoys her job, and I consider teaching my greatest hobby. Third grade captured my heart! I also enjoy drawing, reading, singing, shopping and dancing. I thrive on being able to think creatively and think outside of the box. I love running! It is a great stress reliever! I also love traveling, spending time with my husband {of course}, my dog Loralei, family and friends, and I love experiencing new things. I've recently delved into the world of workshops, and I am HOOKED! :)
