Center Saturday

This is my last Center Saturday post of the current school year! I am so sad!

When I told me class we were not having work centers this week, they asked me why.

{Needless to say, they were not happy.} 

Isn't it funny how fun activities that engage learning can turn the term "work centers" into coming fun. Perhaps I should rename them learning centers for next year? What do you think?

Here is a glimpse at our work centers from last week.

Common Core ELA Rubrics for EVERY Literature and Informational Text Standard

This document has definitely been a lifesaver for me.  It contains a rubric for EVERY SINGLE Common Core Literature and Informational Text standard.  Before giving the class an assignment to complete, I hand a copy of a rubric to each student and we discuss it.

It helps them stay on track and ensures that their work is always Common Core aligned.  Rubrics for each grade level!  $4.00 Click the link to access them.Click Here

Common Core Graphic Organizers, Question Answering Frames, Wall Charts, and Progress Forms

This colorful extension menu gives students ideas about activities they could complete for each standard.

 I am back to share a resource that is designed to make preparing for and teaching the Common Core Standards so much easier.  It contains graphic organizers, progress charts, question answering frames, and wall charts aligned to every ELA Common Core Literature and Informational Text Standard.

There are also graphic organizers aligned to every standard.  They assist students in making sure they fully respond to each standard.

There are also student progress forms that list every Literature and Informational Text Standard.  These are great for tracking student progress.

Plus, there are question answering frames included too!  Question answering frames are a fantastic tool for differentiating and scaffolding instruction.  They assist students that may need a little extra help in writing a written response.  They provide a framework for writing, but can be scaffolded as a student becomes more independent in writing.

Store everything inside of a file folder bin or binder.  Use as needed!

The complete 54+ page document is on sale.  For more information, click a link below

If You Give a Dad a Doughnut {A Father's Day Story}

I have always had my kiddos make cute little pictures, breakfast in bed bags, or stories for their Mother's Day presents, but the dads always get the short end of the stick because we aren't it school for that day.  This year I wanted to do something for the dads so I wrote my own version of If You Give a Dad a Doughnut for the kids to illustrate.  The kids loved it and I really enjoyed writing it.  Here are a few pictures of their illustrations.  It is available in both my stores for only $2.  It comes with 2 page layouts {full page and half page books}.  I chose to use the full page book with my kiddos this year.  Click Here for TpT or Click Here for TN to check it out.

 

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful weekend!!
