Science Week - Favorite Science Books

It's science week!!  

Science Week

Here are my favorite books to teach science...

I love these because my students have always loved the "real" stories they include.  They are great resources to connect the textbook to "real life".  Great for text on the student's grade level too.  

I think picture books are great to give students access to science curriculum at their own level, just so it makes sense.

What books do you use to teach science?

Teacher Tuesday - ELA Goodies

Everyday at work I find out I have new job responsibilities.  It's exciting to be teaching so many different grades and groups of students, but it can be a little overwhelming as it first begins.  

To help me plan I'm completely addicted to pinterest!  Who isn't right?!  Well here's some 
of my favorite things from the past week or so to help inspire you too!


Here is a site that has a ton of free printables!!  Definitely check it out for ABCs, shapes, numbers, and so much more!












This is an adorable little sign I printed out to put near my library.  Just a reminder of the things you can do with a book! :)




I love this anchor chart!  I'll definitely be creating one for my students too.


I think this phonics work poem will be great for Halloween!  I plan on using it with all of my 
K-3 reading groups and creating a class book.




I love this kid friendly version of schema.  I think it helps student understand the concept.

Teacher Tuesday - My Classroom


I've been setting up my classroom!!  I actually share the space with another reading teacher who is part time.  There is a 3rd teacher still needing to be hired...  I am the full time reading teacher and I coordinate the three of us with our groups.  We teach K-3 and I can't wait to get all of the initial assessments completed so we can start working with the students!!


Here are some pictures of my classroom.  These are from when I first walked in to now, although there are a lot of things that still need to be added, I'm so happy with the progress I've made!!


The view from my desk...

Making some progress...

Two word walls hung up and more bulletin boards are decorated!!

Looking at my desk with more organization and decoration.
Supplies and some color words.

A peek into one of the cabinets.  Lots of phonics games and books on tape.


I'll be sharing more of my classroom as it continues to get organized.  There is so much more to do!!

Leighton Meester

I love her style, whether in her real life or as the fabulous Blair on Gossip Girl or the adorable country singer in Country Strong...
