Hello Reader, January is the perfect time to refresh and start anew some things in the classroom. I know that my students always need a few classroom reminders coming off of the long break, particularly when it comes to writing. Below I have three tried and true resources that I personally use in my own classroom to help get my kids writing proficiently and still having fun! What I really love about all three of the resources above is that they have actual LESSON PLANS so that I don't have to think or plan too much (which is always a huge help to me as I too come off break!) I just grab them and go! It really is that simple. The kids enjoy the learning and I enjoy the ease of it all. What are some things that you do to get your kids back into the swing of writing after the long winter break? Happy Teaching! Stephanie |

Hi Hello Reader, We are heading into our third week of school, and this is usually when I feel like I can finally start taking a breath. The first two weeks have been all about getting to know each other, learning procedures, figuring out where things belong, and practicing how our classroom works. Now we're getting to the part I really love: settling into the actual academic routines that we will use for the rest of the year. I thought I'd share what a typical day looks like in my classroom...
