SUMMER TIME POWER HOUSE!
Hello Fellow Education Lovers!
This summer started off like any other... LAZY! The whole first week I did absolutely NOTHING! It was a well deserved and needed break. I know that you know the feeling. Someone asked me (a fellow teacher), how do we do it? Why do we need naps in the summer to survive and we don't FALL OVER throughout the other 9 months of the year?
Well my answer to this is simple... WE IGNORE OUR BODIES! We are power houses! We shove those tired feelings into the deep dark pits of our subconscious. To be honest, WE HAVE TO! In order to get the job done we have to power through and be the best teachers we can be (even if that means PURE & UTTER EXHAUSTION).
The downside of that is... we become ZOMBIES in the summer (at least for a couple weeks). I was in that mode, UNTIL... a fellow teacher (a very close friend) called and said "I have an idea!". She asked me to make her some things and I've been plugging away ever since. She was my inspiration to get a move on and out of my slump. Have you had that inspiration yet this summer?

Writing Boot Camp
Before you get started you will want to Formally assess your students ability to write the FIRST week of school. This way you have a base for comparison in the coming months.
Within this pack you will begin teaching your students to write using MODELING, PLANNING, EDITING & REVISING, and ILLUSTRATION.
We begin by giving students images and Thinking Maps so that they learn how to describe, sequence, and plan their writing appropriately. Then the structure changes. End Goal: You will begin to incorporate a 5 Day writing program that begins with a teacher model, student planning, student writing, student editing & revising, and finally student illustration.
Everything you need is in this pack! Observational Comment, Expository, Narrative writing prompts, rubrics, thinking maps, and a foundation built in that will support your students; growth in writing!
Happy Writing!

Mastering Beginning Sounds
It includes assessments for progress monitoring, skill accountability, and/or extra practice for struggling students. These assessments can also be used as a record in their leadership or data notebook. These were developed to align with Thinking Maps. Each activity has a Thinking Map to trace and use. There are even cut and paste activities!
You will refer to this pack throughout the year while the students are mastering the beginning sounds and introducing decoding and blending skills.
These pages can also be used as a center if put into a plastic sleeve. I hope you enjoy using this pack with your emerging readers!
