Update :)

Hello all!
I just wanted to share some things that have been going on this week!

First, I'd like to announce that my email will be changing November 1st to kabuckner@caddoschools.org.

I recently purchased these adorable mouse pads! They match the classroom theme! :-p

I have the sweetest students! This sweetie pie brought me a red velvet cupcake for no reason! It was awesome!

We recently started our new novel study on Number the Stars by Lowis Lowry! My students are so excited about it! This is a picture of one of my students who shared his great-grandfather's history in WWII. He was so excited to learn about history in English class! lol The students are really getting into the Holocaust and WWII history!

You can check out the chapter tests and research project I created at my TPT store [HERE] AND [HERE]!

I will update again soon! 

Five For Friday... On Saturday 10/4

This weekend is going to be awesome! I am officiating a wedding for two of my awesome friends!!! :) 

I have the best students ever! They are so sweet!

My ver sweet mother-in-law made this frame for me! How adorable is this? I added the quote at the bottom. :)

This week we started on a narrative. Students were able to choose whatever they wanted to write about! We brainstormed using a word-web and played Fan-N-Pick with these Prewriting Story HOTS Kagan cards! The students have writing notebooks where they brainstorm, write their rough drafts, and revise & edit their writing. Most students are super excited about their stories! I will let them read them to the class when they're finished.

Next week is my observation lesson, and I'm super nervous... as usual. I will be teaching a lesson on Text-Evidence. In order to give choices to my students, I purchased this product from TPT! I will be using the October themed passages. I'm really happy with this purchase!

I attended the Project Read training this week. I learned a lot. I won't be able to apply all of what I learned to my 5th graders though. These are some sock puppets they gave me. lol I'll be donating these to our new 1st grade teacher. I think she can make better use of them! 

This week my students turned in a huge project from me. I forgot to snap some pictures of the project, so I'll take pictures next week to show you all!
