Finger Focus Highlighters for the win!

With small groups and partner reading not being an option this year, I have been looking for ways to keep my students engaged in reading. I recently started using these Finger Focus Highlighters by @hand2mindinc, and my students love them!

Yesterday, I cut apart the sentence cards from my ZAP Reading Fluency Game and gave each student a handful of sentences. The kids used the highlighters to track the words as they read. They were even begging for more sentences when they finished!

Have you tried any new reading strategies in your classroom this year?

Only 26 more days of the never ending school year!

Anyone else feel like you’re smiling on the outside and crying on the inside this year? I know we’re in the home stretch, but I feel like I have nothing left in my tank this week.

I’m feeling all the stress of cramming so much into the last month and having to pack everything up and move classrooms again. I know it will all get done, but the #teacheranxiety is real!

On a happier note, I’m loving this dress from my @teacherstylebox. At least I don’t have to worry about what to wear! 😂

How are you holding up?

Looking for writing for the end of the year?

I love making these writing flip books with my kids at the end of May. They allow them to reflect on the year by writing and illustrating in each section.

Pair the flip books with the cute craft to match, and you’ve got a perfect final bulletin board for the year!

You can find this resource sold separately or as part of my May Megs Bundle in my TPT Store.

We’re finally in the home stretch, teachers!

I just printed out everything I’m using for the last full month of school, and it feels so good! Having all of my monthly resources in one file has saved me so much time and stress.

My monthly writing and math journals have especially helped me survive this school year one page at a time! They’ve been great to have on hand for emergency sub plans, too.

If you are #teachertired and you’re looking for resources to get you through the last month, I’ve got you covered with my May Mega Bundle.

Swipe to see what’s included, and read more on the blog about how I use these activities in my own classroom.

Poem in Your Pocket Day is this week!

I created this activity for kindergarten students to celebrate poetry and practice reading fluency at the same time. This resource includes pocket templates as well as 30 short vowel sounds mini poems.

I extend this celebration of poetry throughout the whole week. We do a page of poems a day. At the end of the week, my students have a pocket full of poems to practice reading at home!

Throughout the week, I also read my students poems by famous authors. They love listening to poetry and having poems of their own that they can read!

You can snag this resource at intro pricing through the weekend. Linking in my stories.
