It's been a while since I have posted, but I have so many things that I have been working on that I just had to share in my excitement. The first project I'm going to share is my new fully editable Camping Themed Planner for 2014-2015. I absolutely LOVE it! I have been wanting to do an editable planner for awhile and include a few additions, but I went way beyond on this planner. There is extra clip art in strategic places, that is relevant to what that page is about, editable tables and text boxes, and new pages! There are 331 pages for you to choose what works best for you! Here's some of the highlights!

   

3 Camping Themed Cover Choices

Very Detailed 2-page Table of Contents

Table of Contents (cont.)

Section Page, Heading Page, and Calendar Page

*** Brand New Year At-A-Glance Page Added ***

 All K-5 ELA and Math Standards Included

*** NEW Math Station Schedule with Explanations ***

This is the actual Math Station Rotation Schedule I am going to use this year to teach WHOLE GROUP Math. This is my first block. We are departmentalized, so I will have 4 Whole Group Math classes that follow this schedule. I can't wait to put this in action! My goal is to reach MORE students and not give them the opportunity to tune out or not participate. Look for updates on my new Quest for Student Success for All!

*** Brand NEW Class List Added ***

Could be enlarged to hang in hall or classroom

*** Brand NEW Class Birthday Poster Added ***

Could be enlarged to hang in classroom

*** UPDATED to include room for 25 students on One Page ***

Could be enlarged and laminated to hang in classroom

*** Brand NEW Added to this Planner ***

Great for keeping students and parents accountable for the students learning their multiplication facts beginning in 3rd grade and later if they still haven't mastered then by the end of 3rd grade.

*** Updated to match theme ***

*** NEW Cover Dividers Added to this Planner ***

I absolutely love how this planner turned out. I didn't previously have a camping themed planner and this was so fun to create. All forms are editable upon download in this planner. No additional downloads or emails. If you have any questions about this planner, please feel free to ask. If you like the style, but prefer a different theme, please check out my other planners at my TPT store.

Camp Miller's Station 1: Place Value Test Prep

So I am super excited that I have finished my first Promethean Chart to review Place Value with my anxious little 2nd graders. They love it when I come in with new things that I have made because they know it's on concepts we are learning and can't wait to try it out :)

It took me a long time to make because I am somewhat of a perfectionist.

I wanted it to be extremely relevant with top quality.

I haven't had any comments so I might be alone in this quest of blogging. Maybe I'm not doing something right, not sure. If you come visit me, please leave me a comment so I know things are working right, lol.... Have a great week :)

More Camping-Themed Test Prep, Oh Yeah!!!

I have made several other camp-themed activities to help my kiddos review and prepare for their upcoming end-of-the-year testing. As I stated in a previous post, our school has a camp theme throughout our school, so we are doing a K.A.M.P. out week prior to their big testing to help motivate them and get them ready.

K.A.M.P. stands for Knowledge x Application x Motivation = Performance

The second in the series is my Camping Capers Word Wall and Sorts activities. This file has 45 word wall words that were used in the Camping Capers Division Story Problems to help the students become familiar with the vocabulary so they can focus on solving the division problems. In addition the the word wall words, I have included a Phonics Sort by Vowel Pattern. The students will sort the words on the sorting mats by vowel pattern (vowel digraph, r-controlled, long vowel silent e, and short vowel) and then write the words they sorted in the correct category on their recording sheet. The second activity is a Syllable Sort. The students will sort the word wall words by the number of syllables they have using the sorting mats and write the words in the correct category on their recording sheet.

The next activity I created is so cute. A little dog named Camper needs help in sorting words to make compound words. There are two sets included,  along with a sorting mat for each and a recording sheet for them to record the compound words they made. Possible answers are also included. Students can work on these individually, with a partner, or with a small group. Look for more Camper activities coming soon :)
