Use this organizer to help your students visualize that their brain is where all their prior knowledge is stored. This is called schema. Schema helps us think, infer, and understand!

These are a fun way to share your contact information with families! This is editable, so you can update it with the information you wish to share. I suggest laminating the cards and hot gluing a magnet to the back so families can keep them visible on their fridge. There are 10 different designs to choose from. Choose the card with the image that best resembles you!

This narrative plan page will help young authors bring their stories to life by helping them remember to make their characters move, talk, and feel! It also helps them to include an intro and closing in their beginning, middle, and end.

These fun tags and notes are a great communication tool for letting families know the exciting things their kiddo is doing in the classroom! This set includes 3 different celebration tags and 3 different larger tags so that you can jot a quick note about the child's day!

Help students think through their behaviors and create plans for improvement with this behavior think sheet.

This graphic organizer is a great tool to introduce students to inferring about characters and their actions. I recommend starting with the mentor text "No, David!" to discuss the actions of the character and what could or does happen as a result (as the example on the page). You could use while reading by stopping to allow students to write their inferences about characters as the teacher reads aloud.

This is a great tool for establishing classroom rules and integrating writing. Students will choose a rule that is important in the classroom. They will then explain why this rule is important. Use this to lead discussions in stretching out sounds in words, making pictures match your writing, etc.
