Five for Friday {October 4th}

Hi!

I am a day late with my Five for Friday post! I really did plan on typing it up last night! I was just so. tired. We all know what teacher tired is like right??? This week was a tough week at school! I am sure I am not alone. :) So anyways...my five favorite things from this week!! :)

I am getting my Spooky Solve the Room ready for my kiddos!! They love the math hunts we do, but for some reason I think they love this one the best!! something to do with Halloween I am sure. I put up the math problem cards around the classroom and they go on a hunt with their recording page and a clip board! I usually put it in my math stations so they are not all hunting at once! :) 

 You can find the Halloween Hunt in our TPT store! You can also grab all 4 for a super discounted price!!!

This week Amanda and I decorated the bulletin board in the lounge! We are in charge of keeping it up to date throughout the year. We love stuff like this so we are so excited to bring some more creativity to our school! This is our "fall" themed board. Who doesn't love football?! (I am watching TCU beat OU as we speak ;) )

Last night, yes FRIDAY night, I finally finished putting my tier 2 documentation binder together. It has been looming over my head for weeks! I have a tab for each friend of mine who needs reading intervention and a tab for each one who needs math. On their tab page I have their Fall data and strands that they need interventions for. This helps me remember who needs what as I am working with them! I have tonsss of sticky notes of what I have been doing, but I hadn't added my new students tabs and data yet! Let's just say I will be at my teacher table a LOT this year!! These babies need lots of reading and math love! 

This week two of my table groups got to scan our very first QR code prize of the year!! Their prizes were sit in the teacher's chair all day (ohhhh!!) and use pen all day! Both of these prizes were a hit. They loved scanning the code to see the secret prize pop up! Check it out here!

This past weekend Amanda and I attended a Women's Conference at her church. It was GREAT! We have started reading the She Reads Truth: Open Your Bible plan (a little late) and have a Facebook group going with some girls to discuss the plan with. It has been amazing to have some fellowship and accountability daily! I can't wait for our new bible study to start next week! It is all about the BEST yes, and how to say no to things in order to be able to say yes to BETTER things! 

Next Week in {Speech} & Friday Fall Freebie!

Hi Everyone! 

WOW!! This school year if flying by! It's about this time that I feel I am searching for new ideas as it seems I've gone through all of the units I planned this summer. Here is a peek at what's happening next week in speech. Hopefully, you'll get new ideas to send you through October! I would love to hear your ideas as well, so feel free to share them in the comments below!

For my younger kids we will pretend to be monsters as we read/sing, "If You're a Monster and You Know It." I read this book with one of my Kindergarten groups this week and they absolutely LOVED it! The book even has a sing-a-long on the Scholastic website!

We'll also be coloring these Halloween-themed "Color-by-Word" activity sheets. These coloring pages are perfect for addressing multiple articulation goals in a single session. I also plan on sending them home as a carry-over activity. 

Many of my kids struggle with making predictions and inferences. I will be using this awesome, Halloween-themed inferencing game to address NUMEROUS IEP goals! The activity comes with 18 inference cards and a "how to make an inference" poster. Grab it at my TpT store! 

And for my "non-speech" related activity...I will be decorating my door for Drug Free week at school! This year the theme is, "Be a Hero. Be Drug Free." Of course, I immediately thought of the Superhero Melonheadz! I think I may have a slight obsession with them, but they are so adorable! Check back soon! I'll post pictures of my door once it's completed! :)

Finally, I will start printing, cutting and laminating (not my favorite task at all) my November Speech and Language unit! This time I have also added a "Parent Newsletter" informing parents of our upcoming objectives, along with the books we will be reading! Parent communication is extremely important and a newsletter is a great way to reach multiple parents at once! Grab the November Mega Bundle today and start planning with me! 

Of course....the moment you've been waiting for...our Friday Fall Freebie! This week we would like to share "Color-by-Word" October Edition! Have a wonderful week!

A {Peek At My Week} plus Friday Fall Freebie!!

Hey Yall!!

Before I post our 2nd Friday Fall Freebie, I wanted to show you a quick peek at my week (next week)!! 

Next week is a short week for us-PTL!! We have conferences so we have a half day on Thursday and the day off on Friday to do Parent-Teacher Conferences. I scheduled mine throughout the week so I only have TWO on Friday! woohoo!! That means lots of time to get ahead in planning, getting our holiday bulletin board up, and taking a nice long lunch ;) I used Sign Up Genius for my parents to sign up for conferences. I LOVE it. If you have never heard of it, check it out!!

I just finished and posted these comprehension posters in our store. I can't wait to get them printed, laminated, and up in our classroom library next week! print. cut. laminate. repeat. Am I right?!

On Monday our new washer and dryer are being delivered!! Yippeeee!! I can't wait to do laundry once I finally live in my new house (80 days!!). Did I just say I WANT to do laundry? HA!! Don't tell the future hubby!

For math centers this week I plan on having my kids go on this spooky math hunt around the classroom! These include word problems that have time, money, addition, and subtraction concepts. I hope they love it!

I have a Halloween and Fall themed math hunt in my store. If you're interested in both you can get the bundle here!

OKAY- Freebie Time!!!!! This week we are giving you these adorable sight word activity sheets!! Enjoy!
