Editable QU Wedding Invitation

This is a great way to end the school year! You can tailor the calendar to your school calendar. The countdown starts with A and ends on the last day of school with Z. I have included the daily activities we will be doing. You are free to edit or use the activities included.

My class is using DRA reading levels this year. You can look online and convert the levels to F&P levels if needed. While I send some books home, I wanted to give parents a few more resources to use. I researched some books at each level (-1-12). These are books and book collections that can be found online or at the library.

This is my classroom reading program. This document is easy to edit. You can edit the dates, expectations, guidelines, etc. This log is an easy one for parents to follow and teachers to read when it is returned to school. Outline: 1. Students take home "Zippy" (ziploc bag of books & log) 2. Students read at home four times and log reading. 3. Students bring Zippy back to school to trade books. 4. Once they meet the monthly goal, they receive a Book It certificate.

This is a note I send home to parents in early October after I assess the students on their current text level. This document is easy to edit to the text levels you use, the current month, and your class goals. You can use this form each month.

This checklist helps parents stay accountable. This document is easy to edit to your classroom homework expectations. In kindergarten we do not use assignment notebooks. This is a great alternative to stay organized.

This is a handout to use in a math center. You can also use this whole group, small group, or with a math tutor. The children identify the missing number by counting and write it in the box. I use this in the beginning of the year.

This is an activity I use in my writing center. The children use the word wall and the classroom to find words to write. On the left side they write the word in pencil. On the right side they write the word in colored pencil. They choose different colors and write over the word (overlapping colors) until it looks like a "rainbow."

This is a report that can be sent home daily to parents. It is a note that you keep copied. If a student is misbehaving, you can fill it out, staple it to their folder, and send it home. I write their name and date. Highlight the rules/behaviors that need to be discussed at home. Write the consequence in teacher note or any other information. The parent must sign and return it by the next day. It is a great way to have daily communication with parents and encourage behavior that supports lear

Use this at goal setting conferences or parent teacher conferences. You can edit so you can add months throughout the year. You can also change benchmarks/goals that match that part of the year or your district's benchmarks. Parents love this and it is very easy to use.

This can be used in a reading center or listening center. The students complete this after they have read a book or listened to a book. This is a response handout for the beginning of the year. I still encourage them to label their drawings.

This document is perfect for assessing students on letter identification, letter sound identification, and digraph knowledge. It is a word document so you can modify it to fit your class and needs.

An easy form to use on field trips for attendance

This is a template to use inside of the Oriental Trading Mug. https://www.orientaltrading.com/peanuts-color-your-own-christmas-plastic-mugs-12-ct--a2-13711053.fltr I used these for our end of year gift but you can use them for any grade or time of year!

I have expanded my original behavior chart. We choose three behavior goals we are working on (expressing emotions appropriately, demonstrate self control, complete task, etc.) and student earns a smiley for each period. It allows for easy communication between teachers. It is a great way to document behavior and inform parents how the day was at school. Goals, schedule and interventions are editable!
