As a teacher, reading is very important to my instruction. Research has proven that children need to be reading at least 30 minutes a day, preferably more! Sometimes my students don’t have adequate resources at their home. I allow them to check out classroom books to take home. Before checking out their book, the students meet with me. We check the condition of the book, and we discuss proper book etiquette. When the students return, they put the book in the check-in bin. At their check-out time

Parent Teacher Conferences are integral part of the teaching life. I personally use these letters/worksheets to plan my parent teacher conferences. I have found that giving the students and parents a chance to voice their thoughts/opinions opens positive communication. These worksheets help establish that communication. This bundle includes: sign-up sheets, confirmation sheets, a survey to send home prior to conferences, sheets that guide the conversation of the conferences, and a home/school co

This set comes with four different versions of the menu board. There are always two different edits of each version - one with a space for students to list their words and one with just the Tic-Tac-Toe board.

I use this template with my reading groups to hold me accountable as a teacher. It also keeps me organized when I meet with the students. I have folders on each group, and I keep this template in the folders. When I meet with the groups, I open my folder to this page. Immediately, I can see what we accomplished the last time we met, and how we can move forward as a group. At the end of each session, I record the group’s activity.

This reading log includes 75, 65, and 60 minute per week requirements. My school uses RAZ Kids, and so I have a clause in the directions requiring the students to read a portion of their minutes on the RAZ Kids website. For those who do not need a RAZ Kids section, I have edited a version with the RAZ Kids clause. It also includes a space for student to recorder their reading levels.
