PINTEREST!!!

So I have decided to direct everyone over to Pinterest to look for ideas and strategies.  I have 3 areas for you to look at for school related ideas.  All you have to do is join Pinterest- which most of you already are doing, then follow me.  I have categorized ideas I have found searching the internet in one fabulous place.  All you have to do is click on the picture and it will take you to the original site it came from.  I have found 355 ideas and that is just for Reading and Writing. 

There are so many great anchor charts, activities, and strategies that I wanted to make it easier for all of us (mostly me) to find them all in one place. 

A word to the wise.  Pinterest is addicting!  I love snooping around and I feel that a lot of the ideas I have found would be great for the classroom and especially reading comprehension.

Visualizing

Today, I did a visualizing activity with my class. I started out with modeled/interactive writing. I wrote a few sentences on the white board with the class gathered around. They helped me spell certain words and place punctuation, but I came up with the sentences. Then they went to their seats to draw what they visualized. They do similar pages during literacy centers, where they read it independently.
