Teaching Across the Cornfield

When I found out my district was adopting the new CCSS enVision I was excited.... until I discovered that my third graders would be learning out of a t.e.x.t.b.o.o.k. Visions of messy, unorganized papers started to invade my brain! I cringed over the nightmare it would be to grade their work. Have no fear, my colleagues and I have come up with a solution to make your life SO much easier! Introducing the enVision workbook! There are work pages for EACH lesson for EACH 16 topics in enVision. Yo

If your school uses the Lucy Calkins Unit of Study writing program, this is a great product for you! I use this product at the beginning of the school year when I am just getting to know my students and their writing abilities. For the narrative unit, Lucy wants the kids to come up with ideas about small moments from their life. For those students who struggle to identify moments in their life, this graphic organizer is perfect to get them thinking in the right direction! Enjoy!

Does your district require to post your learning objectives for the lessons that you teach? These posters align directly with each lesson in the new CCSS Math enVision program. There are also essential question posters for each Topic. I copy them onto colored cardstock to match each Topic (blue, orange, purple, pink) and then laminate them and put them on rings to hang in my classroom. It's SO easy to just flip to the next day's lesson! Interested in my MATCHING workbook? Click HERE: https:/

If your district uses Lucy Calkins Units of Study, this is the product for you! It can be overwhelming to keep track of student progress during writer's workshop! I use this product throughout the week to keep track of where my individual students are at in their writing, and to guide them in the next steps in their writing. The individual conference pages are great for conferences or to look back on to see how students have grown or what problems they have experienced in writing in the past. T

If you work with Autistic students or students with special needs, you know that focusing can be very difficult for them. I made these cards to help a student in my classroom. I laminate them, cut them out, and put them on a ring to use at guided reading time.

I use these labels to label my Rainbow and Rolling Storage Cart Drawers. This is a GROWING bundle that I will be adding to over the summer. If you have other labels that you would like added please let me know and I'd be happy to make them!

Do you have an Autistic student who needs some reminders about when to raise their hand? This product is a visual reminder that teaches students what signals to use when they have something to say. It trains them when to raise their hand.

Use this social story to help students assess how they are feeling and problem solve how to cope with those feelings.

Use this chart to have students self-assess how they are feeling.

Are you struggling to keep all of your resources organized for the CCSS? I have found that binders work best for me! Here are 1" Spine Labels for all Literature and Informational Standards. Enjoy!
