Thanksgiving in the Classroom
November is one of the fastest months of the school year for us, but it's still jam packed with meaningful learning and tons of fun! We work through our Interactive Story of the First Thanksgiving little by little all month long. We love using the Fact Finder Posters as a whole group activity.

But, this can make ... VIEW POST
Editable Student Spelling Dictionaries
One of our favorite classroom tools is our Student Spelling Dictionaries! They build responsibility in our students' writing all year long. Here's a Throwback Thursday post from last school year all about them. Our kids learn quickly that we have a class "My Writing Words Rule" that never bends... If you don't see a word, you can ask the teacher, parent volunteer, aide (or whichever other adult is armed and ready with mad spelling skills and a pencil) to write the word in your dictionary ONE ...
