I am always looking for ideas to get my students *thinking* while *reading*...can you relate? I love how my sticky notes do just that! I have created SEVERAL different sticky notes to give kids as think marks while reading. They can be used in a huge variety of ways, small group, whole group, and individual. I included several options to hit a variety of standards. I’ve also included a way to use these by just printing on paper and cutting out if you do not want to do sticky notes!

Cold and snowy weather is always the perfect excuse for a little fire in the classroom! ❄️🧡🔥 #cozyup #perfectreadingspot #alreadyfeelingwarmer
Baby Dean is 7 months old! (okay, two weeks ago...I took the pictures and forgot to post!) He had a big month popping out his two teeth. He is also had his first cold, and is soo close to crawling. In the meantime, he’s getting around by rolling from one side of the room to the other. He wants keep up with his brother so badly, and thankfully Leo is including him in play!

One of my writers workshop goals is for my kids to write more and MORE! My first graders often have stories that are five pages or longer. One thing that helps with this is having their own stapler. Who wouldn’t want to add more pages to their story if they can use a stapler to do it?!😉 The staplers have to be carefully introduced so that they are treated properly. Yes - I have to fix them every now and then, but for the most part they are totally independent with them! I label them with their name and then keep them at the end of the year for the next kids!💗
I have struggled with having my kids THINK more about their reading while working independently. So, I made them a response notebook! I kept it simple and easily differentiated for my young learners. I wrote a blog post all about it and how I use it. If you want to check it out, click the link in my profile @mrsbfirstgrade! 🖤📚 .

One of my favorite jobs - Quiet Monitor! It’s a job my friends can’t wait to do, and it helps a lot. I just print sheets with my students names on them and put them on a clipboard. Then, the quiet monitor gets to walk outside of the line and put checkmarks next to friends doing a good job. They aren’t in charge of negative behavior, just positive. We do not do anything with the sheets after they fill them up...they don’t really even notice that they get put in recycling! 🤷🏻♀️😉💜 #teachersofinstagram #classroomjobs #teacherspayteachers #iteachfirst
