Next week is going to be a fairly easy week. As a Reading Specialist, I go from class to class and work with students either in my little room or in their rooms. The week before holidays are always CrAzY! So, I plan easy to implement activities, those that students can miss a day and catch up the next.
I LOVE Jan Brett books! Before I started teaching I fell in love with them. The illustrations are beautiful, and the story is engaging. After winning two different Jan Brett units, I absolutely could not pass up this opportunity. I won the

This is something that I can use throughout the year to help with predictions. I really want the students to understand that predictions should make sense but are not always correct.

I am so glad Friday is finally here! I am just dreading next week with a full week of work and many rowdy students!! For those of you in the same boat, I am sending prayers for all us! For those of you off, please come to my house and wrap the gifts to go under the tree!
Check back next week as I talk about the various books we have focused on and the activities we have completed.
Until next time!
