<div style="text-align: center;">Hey
friends! Long time no blog! I know, I know... I've said this before... but I really do hope to do better about blogging more frequently and get back in to it! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We just finished up our first full week of school and I wanted to stop by the blog
today and share again with you something that I've been doing in my classroom for
several years now that I absolutely LOVE and have found to be super duper effective in
helping me manage ALLLLL the things. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><span></span><div style="text-align: center;">I've
had a camping theme the last 5 years.. so this year I decided to switch it up and traded in my forest animals and trees for farm animals and all things barnyard from Creative Teaching Press! If you are looking for a new theme check out CTP at my <a href="https://www.creativeteaching.com?sca_ref=952230.l9oOdJESuG">affliate link. </a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">A new theme means a new student of the week. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihoihEwrPv-5DBKwgTwA7onjAjjIt1lx1RpCL41JNQMLF1y41e-t_WSHcJlOfCYhmsI85ctxrhAwwaItUDKMvmb8h7tUHHPXysBiKc-u2a9e0B8EXk4NYVhIkVxDF1PQKrQ5X2rwYHBX4/s2002/image_6483441-3.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2002" data-original-width="1600" height="337" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihoihEwrPv-5DBKwgTwA7onjAjjIt1lx1RpCL41JNQMLF1y41e-t_WSHcJlOfCYhmsI85ctxrhAwwaItUDKMvmb8h7tUHHPXysBiKc-u2a9e0B8EXk4NYVhIkVxDF1PQKrQ5X2rwYHBX4/w311-h337/image_6483441-3.JPG" width="311" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Let me introduce you to my "Farmer of the Week!" This
special student is featured in the hallway on my barn display
for everyone to learn about. The Farmer of the Week is my special helper
and line leader for the entire week. So no changing or keeping track of
daily leaders/helpers. If a job/task requires more than one helper then
the Farmer of the Week gets to pick a friend... and they love picking a
friend! Lots of times they want to pick someone to help out even if it
is a one man job. They love to spread the Farmer of the Week love and
duties around! HA </div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;">I made a barn in the hallway to display the all about me poster. I hot glued a couple of clothes pins to the barn and it's easy to hang the poster and change out weekly. I've got the poster from Really
Good Stuff. They have them at Oriental Trading and Amazon as well. I send them home along with a note explaining the special
week on the Thursday or Friday before their week as the Farmer of the
Week. This gives them the weekend to work on their poster. They bring it
back on Monday and share with the class and then I laminate it and hang
it out in the hallway for others to learn all about our special Farmer. </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The
Farmer of the Week has the option of bringing in a special snack
(pre-packaged of course) to share with the class on Friday... and they
love this! It's perfect if you can make it where that student's birthday
is during that week because usually they want to send in birthday
treats during that week so this covers both of those in one lick! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Having a student of the week can help do is with managing
show in tell if you do that. Dedicate a certain day during their week for show and tell. This way each student has the chance to do
it, it's one day a week and you are done. <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Having
a student of the week is also a great chance for students to lift that
special student up with compliments and kind words. We all need those! I
let students write special letters to the Farmer of the Week and bind
them together into a special little book... it makes a great little
keepsake!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I also let the Farmer of the Week be the Go Noodle DJ. They get to pick the brain breaks out for the whole entire week! They LOVE this!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't have a farm theme but would love to implement this?? I have a variety of other themes to choose from in my little <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elisabeth-Delk/Category/Student-of-the-Week-342439">tpt store</a>.
These packs include everything you need to get a student of the week
going in your classroom... PLUS NO MORE CHANGING JOBS/LEADERS daily!!
That was a game changer for me friends! Plus, I've included editable
notes in these packs so you can tweak it and make it your own for your classroom if needed!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I currently have the following themes: Farm, Camping, Jungle/Monkey, Rock Star, Llama, Cactus, Circus, and Owl. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elisabeth-Delk/Category/Student-of-the-Week-342439">CLICK HERE</a> to check out all of the options currently available.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't
see your theme but would love to implement this in your class?? I'd
love to help! Shoot me a message and let me know what your theme is and I'd be happy to make one for you!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFA8gOj5jYXXhlXXgNJ_Ji0QZG1YZTdOCylO1fFjqGQz9VvNR33qQYzB2e-2iEG6fbs_OdQ_k5Ir0fYh4kyTtk5tLiVuwu9xbNI6X8vAJg4e7n7uef2jeqvWL3O6vwi8m2otvwMAnXGFc/s1600/Slide01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFA8gOj5jYXXhlXXgNJ_Ji0QZG1YZTdOCylO1fFjqGQz9VvNR33qQYzB2e-2iEG6fbs_OdQ_k5Ir0fYh4kyTtk5tLiVuwu9xbNI6X8vAJg4e7n7uef2jeqvWL3O6vwi8m2otvwMAnXGFc/s320/Slide01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW5-R7OKcDNjiU02hXJjjzMWnvJd449FiAPqJi-le4r4tqe1KAAq8IhzIRMJa3lD37i9CmQC1oDnVk-vKGv53w16NP_dUaB1693aTLDM1VREOeexMv5sBd3OVYVcWVjBF-TJx9yjVuqCE/s1600/Slide01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW5-R7OKcDNjiU02hXJjjzMWnvJd449FiAPqJi-le4r4tqe1KAAq8IhzIRMJa3lD37i9CmQC1oDnVk-vKGv53w16NP_dUaB1693aTLDM1VREOeexMv5sBd3OVYVcWVjBF-TJx9yjVuqCE/s320/Slide01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwK9oXWreCd4rvgTTDpohb6pnlPOQLAO3o-vDV8vJKDZs_2fChbjo09pbPo8Z8Utv6OyYf9L7Hkw_YeMp01aEWXvxQR0TPtX5wtUMIyNsPKJ-ub-hqb9fRLBV2EGPaX-wbGevoFPDrAlI/s1600/Slide01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwK9oXWreCd4rvgTTDpohb6pnlPOQLAO3o-vDV8vJKDZs_2fChbjo09pbPo8Z8Utv6OyYf9L7Hkw_YeMp01aEWXvxQR0TPtX5wtUMIyNsPKJ-ub-hqb9fRLBV2EGPaX-wbGevoFPDrAlI/s320/Slide01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGfmCnVexBD7E56W3uWScdUjxYrV0ofsV5uCTvbHy9idXTsQpcxfKo9DcpPkJEaPCacnpucavbUaB_Z0bD0NL6QVeUF5JeXfeX6VRPCZ1MmYUvx1SVw3RLJ3ieXTwH9rZPmuFRynixyk4/s1600/Slide01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGfmCnVexBD7E56W3uWScdUjxYrV0ofsV5uCTvbHy9idXTsQpcxfKo9DcpPkJEaPCacnpucavbUaB_Z0bD0NL6QVeUF5JeXfeX6VRPCZ1MmYUvx1SVw3RLJ3ieXTwH9rZPmuFRynixyk4/s320/Slide01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJBF64u0IaKHmjilW239JqY5WL9fgW7VOV9E2cH9qpTQEDjWbg1RHrvFFKiUzOk63YXtfiqQoxrkusBpYmWS9DtgkRT1sb-15FTlatxR42-udN7ZL-CmXI3I2IJghXgV4wWvlox7zgh-k/s1600/Slide01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJBF64u0IaKHmjilW239JqY5WL9fgW7VOV9E2cH9qpTQEDjWbg1RHrvFFKiUzOk63YXtfiqQoxrkusBpYmWS9DtgkRT1sb-15FTlatxR42-udN7ZL-CmXI3I2IJghXgV4wWvlox7zgh-k/s320/Slide01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This has worked wonders for me over the years and has really helped me with managing things as well as keeping it fun and special for my students, but most of all keeping it EASY for me!!

Teaching in a pandemic is no joke and definitely no walk in the park! My district chose to come back in person in August but did give students the opportunity to choose a virtual route. Occasionally this year, our entire district has gone completely virtual... teachers will report in and teach from school while students login in to our teams meeting from home. <span><span></span></span>If any of our students are in quarantine then they will join us for class live virtually... so I teach both my in person students and my virtual students at the same the time. And I've also taught from home when I was in quarantine while the students were at school. So I've dipped my toes in a little bit of all of the possible scenarios for teaching in a pandemic... just trying to adjust and make the best of it and still give my students the best possible year we can have.... and trying to keep a little bit of my sanity along the way...if that is even possible!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Here are a few products I thought I'd share that have made things a bit easier this year while teaching in person and virtually in a pandemic.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXadpX16mB3vU6M0a-5X6BtP58MrIi4fgQZ_X8JW8j3uw7CQiN7cj5BQzYwGh9BEwHMmyaa_SryBr7KBIWZdkjSSxEHNLItVAjSerOzJLGC4nbWojJNfmGnTotQEirWWPWXULMmQpp0nw/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXadpX16mB3vU6M0a-5X6BtP58MrIi4fgQZ_X8JW8j3uw7CQiN7cj5BQzYwGh9BEwHMmyaa_SryBr7KBIWZdkjSSxEHNLItVAjSerOzJLGC4nbWojJNfmGnTotQEirWWPWXULMmQpp0nw/w640-h640/image_6483441-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(38, 38, 38); color: #262626; font-family: arial;"><span><span style="color: #262626; font-family: arial; font-size: xx-small;"><i style="caret-color: rgb(64, 64, 64); color: #404040; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">This

I laminated them and attached a magnet to the back and gave them a mini clip from the Target Dollar Spot. These keep these on the side of their desk.

They hang these tool kits on a magnetic hook. In the past I have grouped students in groups of 4 and had a shelf beside of each group and used caddies for things like this. Depending on the time of the year they may keep different things in their kits.... but I'll show you in the next pic what they keep all the time. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span class="rush-component s-latency-cf-section" data-component-id="7" data-component-type="s-search-results"><span class="celwidget slot=MAIN template=SEARCH_RESULTS widgetId=search-results" data-cel-widget="MAIN-SEARCH_RESULTS-13" data-csa-c-id="kkxqv3-e1wwvq-etzgxp-llabw4"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJt-_tNcJ6DIepRD4UcqpgRTR6sUoKzDNVa355SRXKBnTyx2wMqx9RhbYo_B_PPibWkHwKbSXs-1gGEYyb_tj_JNtS4sj5lZK5UZas8sL71_LA6f8Yx9Zl1YkLYF_Ke4CJp7Rr0kNeYE/" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJt-_tNcJ6DIepRD4UcqpgRTR6sUoKzDNVa355SRXKBnTyx2wMqx9RhbYo_B_PPibWkHwKbSXs-1gGEYyb_tj_JNtS4sj5lZK5UZas8sL71_LA6f8Yx9Zl1YkLYF_Ke4CJp7Rr0kNeYE/" width="320" /></a></div>Inside of the kit they keep their reader, a large <a href="https://amzn.to/38DcCqe">foam die</a>, highlighter, ruler, <a href="https://amzn.to/2WKZzNQ">dry erase paddle</a>, dry erase marker and eraser. The paddles are great to hold up when they are virtual to answer questions so they don't have to unmute/mute constantly... they fit right inside and don't take up as much room as a board would. We use the highlighters to check work and also for our word work and the die is used for word work as well. <br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;">These have been super handy also for if/when a student goes into quarantine and has to be virtual for awhile or if our entire district goes virtual they can easily just take the kit home and have what they need.

So I had to get creative with how to make recess still an enjoyable time in the day that students look forward to. So I purchased some <a href="https://amzn.to/2MbH1V3">drawstring bags</a> and added a name tags (I laminated for durability) with a <a href="https://amzn.to/3rw6rg5">binder ring</a>. Students keep these in their cubbies and grab at recess time. You can get this tag and letter I sent home explaining the bags to families in my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Recess-Bag-Tags-Family-Letter-6383126">tpt store</a> as a little freebie. :) <br /><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"> I know this year looks different for everyone and districts across the country are all doing things differently... but hopefully you can find something useful here that's working for me. I'd love to hear some ideas of things you are doing that's working for you!! We are all better together!<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Hang in there friends and keep on being amazing! We're teachers and we always rise above whatever obstacles are handed to us and make lemonade out of lemons! I have no doubt that each of you are doing amazing things no matter what your district chose to do this school year.<br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br />

Happy Saturday! Long time no blog! I will have a new look around the blog soon with a brand new name! I felt it was time for a change for the current season of my life. So stay tuned for that coming soon and my hope is to do better with my blogging and make time for it as I've always loved it so much.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Coming off of the 2nd full week back to school, I wanted to stop by the blog today and share with you something I've been doing in my classroom for several years now that I LOVE and have found super duper effective in helping me manage ALLLLL the things. </div><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Each week in my camping themed classroom I have a Camper of the Week. This special student is featured in the hallway on my large camper display for everyone to learn about. The Camper of the Week is my special helper and line leader for the entire week. So no changing or keeping track of daily leaders/helpers. If a job/task requires more than one helper then the Camper of the Week gets to pick a friend... and they love picking a friend! Lots of times they want to pick someone to help out even if it is a one man job. They love to spread the Camper of the Week love and duties around! HA </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This year, due to Covid 19, we eat in the classroom for lunch and encore (besides PE) takes place in the classroom, so the line leader duties have been cut down. But if we do go somewhere like outside for recess, then this student will get to lead the way. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFYEdiWf-rfs86rin1IDNAon2w8vt2Ct0JPfgJs4znswiCs7T_H4XK5Wr25PAZ4JAC_8fDa-u0nBLMHDSozO1QJNHr0MNYpuBnJCCOd1546ROsl8I0rJrR08htaWj6ZKLXjT6gObVobhQ/s1080/C658F85A-B9DF-4170-831D-642C4451CD82.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFYEdiWf-rfs86rin1IDNAon2w8vt2Ct0JPfgJs4znswiCs7T_H4XK5Wr25PAZ4JAC_8fDa-u0nBLMHDSozO1QJNHr0MNYpuBnJCCOd1546ROsl8I0rJrR08htaWj6ZKLXjT6gObVobhQ/s16000/C658F85A-B9DF-4170-831D-642C4451CD82.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I've had a camping theme the last 5 years. This yellow camper is my newer one I made. They painted the hallways a couple summers ago and I had to take down the original (see it below).. and sadly it didn't make it through to see another year. RIP purple camper you were loved!</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJOgGJ-h7MTxMhXofuwvJA5z7qTwXcs7sipsiZ0WiCGWqyz4ypOqMZlX8MrEkX6pHcjxDVhfZ7DndZVBxXOd-Qsgoyf2_0KziJDBRPP0rngfds86WvNh0abiC8krSmDSXUoaIIo-SWMVA/s1135/IMG_0812.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1135" data-original-width="1119" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJOgGJ-h7MTxMhXofuwvJA5z7qTwXcs7sipsiZ0WiCGWqyz4ypOqMZlX8MrEkX6pHcjxDVhfZ7DndZVBxXOd-Qsgoyf2_0KziJDBRPP0rngfds86WvNh0abiC8krSmDSXUoaIIo-SWMVA/s640/IMG_0812.jpg" /></a></div><span><!--more--></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Here you can see how I display the poster on the camper. I got the Owl posters from Oriental Trading. I've also got them from Amazon and Really Good Stuff. I send them home along with a note explaining the special week on the Thursday or Friday before their week as the Camper of the Week. This gives them the weekend to work on their poster. They bring it back on Monday and share with the class and then I laminate it and hang it out in the hallway for others to learn all about our special Camper. </div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">The Camper of the Week has the option of bringing in a special snack (pre-packaged of course) to share with the class on Friday... and they love this! It's perfect if you can make it where that student's birthday is during that week because usually they want to send in birthday treats during that week so this covers both of those in one lick! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnSChd66MIvRoLL7s1JJH-6B2_bzJIfjC3puUS1pnHfo6eg78vgIIW9IjNAV1wEgvfz4T21GZb3AcWV6F_hCK87rcHTi74ZQaHOfPT-WOJMM5yGumqvLTzsnO-rFaU9urDjOhb_Y7U7o/s1137/IMG_0811.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1137" data-original-width="1136" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYnSChd66MIvRoLL7s1JJH-6B2_bzJIfjC3puUS1pnHfo6eg78vgIIW9IjNAV1wEgvfz4T21GZb3AcWV6F_hCK87rcHTi74ZQaHOfPT-WOJMM5yGumqvLTzsnO-rFaU9urDjOhb_Y7U7o/s640/IMG_0811.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Other things that having a student of the week can help do is with managing show in tell. Dedicate a certain day during your student of the week's week a day for show and tell. This way each student has the chance to do it, it's one day a week and you are done. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC6byDqisElDAXgOLbMLf_2Y9FbJ3_SsvQ5Io0BdyCFTKPIhMiGWi_eYacxHfHg_mks41V7a9uZJ8LHzgaZ-74V_kfu8ntHFD75hPMrQ-PHlL3QTAFkqRL-4ICF23iJ72nph4WqhOGk0o/s1080/A1A96D31-5562-4035-B670-383244E5AF35.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC6byDqisElDAXgOLbMLf_2Y9FbJ3_SsvQ5Io0BdyCFTKPIhMiGWi_eYacxHfHg_mks41V7a9uZJ8LHzgaZ-74V_kfu8ntHFD75hPMrQ-PHlL3QTAFkqRL-4ICF23iJ72nph4WqhOGk0o/s640/A1A96D31-5562-4035-B670-383244E5AF35.jpeg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">This little gal was this past week's Camper of the Week.

I work with her mom and have permission to share the pic! :)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Having a student of the week is also a great chance for students to lift that special student up with compliments and kind words. We all need those! I let students write special letters to the Camper of the Week and bind them together into a special little book... it makes a great little keepsake!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I also let the Camper of the Week be the Go Noodle DJ.

These packs include everything you need to get a student of the week going in your classroom... PLUS NO MORE CHANGING JOBS/LEADERS daily!! That was a game changer for me friends! Plus, I've included editable notes in these packs so you can tweak it and make it your own. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I currently have the following themes: Camping, Jungle/Monkey, Rock Star, Llama, Cactus, Circus, and Owl. <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elisabeth-Delk/Category/Student-of-the-Week-342439">CLICK HERE</a> to check out all of the options currently available.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't see your theme but would love to implement this in your class??

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
We've been working our magic on CVC words recently in room 4! What kind of magic am I talking about?? Well the MAGIC E magic! We've been changing short vowels into long vowel sounds!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 11.14pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; tab-stops: left 112.59pt; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">For this activity, I
hand out some letter cards that make a word to students and have them come up
to the front of the classroom. My special helper gets the job of being the
magic e. To make the magic e a little
more special I purchased a black cape and a light up wand at the Dollar Tree
and a sparkly black top hat from Party City (It was in the 40</span><span style="color: black; vertical-align: super;">th</span><span style="color: black;">
birthday section-I removed the 40 ha!</span><span style="color: black;">). It's a super simple, yet fun way to add a fun little touch to this activity!</span></span></div>

<div style="direction: ltr; margin-bottom: 11.14pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-top: 0pt; mso-line-break-override: none; punctuation-wrap: hanging; tab-stops: left 112.59pt; text-align: center; unicode-bidi: embed; word-break: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black;">Students
come up with their letters and all together sound out the word with each
student helper holding up their </span><span style="color: black;">leter</span><span style="color: black;">
card as their classmates say the sound. For example we had the letters p, l, a,
n and made the word plan. We then said our magic word “</span><span style="color: black;">alakazzam</span><span style="color: black;">”
and my magic e comes and takes the wand and works its magic on the vowel in the
word (a) and just like that we now have plane. Amazing! We then sound out it
out see what our new word is. My kids really love it!!</span><span style="color: black;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Be
sure to remind your kids that when they sound out the new word that although
that letter “e” is now there it doesn’t have a sound. They ask every day are we going to do the magic e today!? </span></div>

Hey friends! Happy Sunday! I wanted to stop by the blog today and share with you something I've been doing in my classroom for several years now that I LOVE and have found super effective in helping me manage things. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Each week in my camping themed classroom I have a Camper of the Week. This special student is featured in the hallway on my large camper display for everyone to learn about. The Camper of the Week is my special helper and line leader for the entire week. So no changing or keeping track of daily leaders/helpers. If a job/task requires more than one helper then the Camper of the Week gets to pick a friend... and they love picking a friend! Lots of times they want to pick someone to help out even if it is a one man job. They love to spread the Camper of the Week love and duties around! HA</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I've had a camping theme the last 3 years. This yellow camper is my new one I made for this year. They painted the hallways this summer, so I had to take down the old one.. and sadly it didn't make it through to see another year. RIP purple camper you were loved!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYH2V4yuaMMpLYlKL_FEMdceJUo_8mZq4f1Izth7Q6ymbk9sRBie6rvxhpWR6MYTXBLXBTdgsvMLi88lUSpbRKfkxjKsmwaYIq0KoKRQRexnC0Mria3u8Aejx3wdAaBJGEUBQc5dQkDQ8/" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here you can see how I display the poster on the camper. I got the posters from Oriental Trading. I send them home along with a note explaining the special week on the Thursday or Friday before their week as the Camper of the Week. This gives them the weekend to work on their poster. They bring it back on Monday and share with the class and then I laminate it and hang it out in the hallway for others to learn all about our special Camper. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5-YotepdIjJmUm0FZd8C_3tBlCC3O-GVlpiISFDBh6Bh3oP7gDQN_mMGYXDz3eMluEduAtx24urEh01FBp8zyzVRTgzih1q1U8xCoiL9e6jwzrhJyqIDBE1whegKBDgQSY3YQ9xCaEE4/" /></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Camper of the Week has the option of bringing in a special snack or treat to share with the class on Friday... and they love this! It's perfect if you can make it where that student's birthday is during that week because usually they want to send in birthday treats so this covers both of those in one lick! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other things that having a student of the week can help do is with managing show in tell. Dedicate a certain day during your student of the week's week a day for show and tell. This way each student has the chance to do it, it's one day a week and your done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having a student of the week is also a great chance for students to lift that special student up with compliments and kind words. We all need those! I let students write special letters to the Camper of the Week and bind them together into a special little book... it makes a great little keepsake!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't have a camping theme but would love to implement this?? Well I've been busy adding new student of the week packs for other themes to my little <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elisabeth-Delk/Category/Student-of-the-Week-342439">tpt store</a>. These packs include everything you need to get a student of the week going in your classroom... PLUS NO MORE CHANGING JOBS/LEADERS daily!! That was a game changer for me friends! Plus, I've included editable notes in these packs so you can tweak it and make it your own. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I currently have the following themes: Camping, Jungle/Monkey.. PLUS Rock Star, Llama, Cactus, Circus, and Owl have been recently added! <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Elisabeth-Delk/Category/Student-of-the-Week-342439">CLICK HERE</a> to check out all of the options currently available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't see your theme but would love to implement this in your class?? I'd love to help! Shoot me a message and let me know what your theme is and I will get busy on it!</div>

Students were presented with a question of the day. I had some sports junkies this year.... so I thought I would start us out with "What's your favorite sport?"</div>

I present the students with the question of the day. I supply each of my table groups with some choice cards and they pick their favorite and color it. We then it add to a large class graph. </div>

After everyone has cast their vote, we paired up with our math bud and did some turn & talk questions that we used our graph to answer. This is a great opportunity to hear their discussions and get an idea of who can correctly use the graph to answer the questions and who may need a little extra help. For the turn & talk questions, I laminate for durability and add a binder ring to the corner so it's easy for them to flip through the questions. Once I make these I can save them and re-use them from year to year! </div>

We celebrated the 100th day of school a couple weeks ago. This is always one of my most favorite days! It's jam packed with lots of fun, revolving around 100!</div>

100th day mystery homework--- This is one of my favorite traditions. I send home these sheets with a paper sack and a directions page. Students are to fill the bag with 100 of something. And then write clues about their item. Each student takes turns getting up and giving us their clues and we try to guess what their mystery item is. Some items this year included toothpicks, marshmallows, dry beans, cotton balls, pennies and Captain Crunch. So fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Another fun tradition are these 100th day balloons. I hang balloons from the ceiling... but not just for decoration. I've put activities inside each balloon! Throughout the day, we pop the balloons and complete the activity inside. Some activities are skip counting by 2's, 5's, and 10's, 100 jumping jacks, 100 high fives, 100 second dance session, 100 leg lifts, and my all time personal fave is 100 SECONDS OF SILENCE!!!! PURE BLISS! HA!</div>

Hi friends! Happy Friday! I enjoyed another snow day today and we also had one this past Monday and two last week! So I've been able to be really productive these last two weeks. I've started a new little product line, called "Anchor Charts Made Easy." And I wanted to pop in tonight to tell you a little bit about them! If you are like me... you love anchor charts, but struggle with making them look great due to messing up the drawings or the handwriting or storing them once you have used them. I am the world's worst to throw anchor charts I've made on chart paper away, after I made them because they just aren't easy to store... and really once you have used them one year and stored them they don't look so hot when you go to pull them out the next year. So, I decided to whip up some simple, print and go anchor chart packs to help me out with this problem! These print and go anchor chart packs have color and black and white options {you can print on colored paper}, as well as some mini versions that are perfect for your focus walls or to put in student homework folders/binders to use as a reference tool. If you have a student who is really struggling with verbs, simply put the mini version in their take home binder as a reference tool to help them out with their homework, etc.<br />
<br />
How to "Anchor Charts Made Easy" work? It's so EASY! All you do is pick the option that best suits {either printing in color or B/W} cut the pieces out, glue them to a poster board... and BOOM you have yourself an instant anchor chart that you can laminate and use year after year! I like using poster boards, instead of chart paper because they are much more durable and much easier to store. I get the 4 packs of colored poster boards at Wal-Mart to use for mine. The 4 packs have green, orange, yellow, and navy blue for $2.97. I also like to laminate mine for some extra durability. </div>

Every year before we leave for Christmas break, we have a Polar Express Day. On this day, students come to school dressed in their pajamas with a stuffed animal, ready to embark on a magical journey! Kindergarten and 1st grade do this day together. Each teacher sets up an activity in their room and we rotate between classes. When students visit a new stop they get their ticket stamped. It really is such a magical day!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hop on board and let me take you down a little memory lane from our 2017-2018 school year Polar Express Day!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My homeroom students entered the class to find their tickets waiting for them at their desks. We complete the first stop in our homeroom.</div>

This year for my stop on the Polar Express, students were toy makers at Santa's workshop. I found these little color me puzzles at Hobby Lobby! 24 for $2.99 plus they were on sale! So I was able to score enough for every class at a very reasonable price! win, win! I set out markers and students colored their puzzles and took turns making magic reindeer food. <img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinTU8qCah6g-KPc4hfNv4iiYoVuT7SmKnItMpUdMCYpGf0wNmcR69oj8oTL8TlqzULMjEh7ijqtc7O3lZ1irFtwac4T-B93C0LGsD_68EMmvVrki6h-cc3x9y1_tZThjYSumeJ31-WKvs/" /><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaz-AFIYZ-KdqjJaHNGURc9hkK6tKbPo8RaK4mXzzH6PKr6foejkzhsbtRAn1kMIgnbftMsa32WbnbFjKkVtXgMRX0xdQxcD9sSGzfZVSBcNjWIVTOCx4WxEQJIXd_7obZNkUMxFFNGJg/" /><img alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIrDIEyHP_bz7o2qXkkBWvVBakOgzZ1tPaXfo9qFkThVTdzKRkKTI3EUI43Vb4Wxhddmmf4DOnb_T6O28Osik7qIuxrjCDv5yBNdVeqxmfR6niJPHPrznBmRrap0Ss3PvMf3VljGtJU40/" /></div>

In the past, I've done games and snacks. But when I found those cute little puzzles I just had to do that this year! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sadly, I failed to snap any pics of the other stops and the activities they do in their rooms. One teacher did a reindeer thumbprint magnet craft, another did a bell bracelet craft, and the other did games.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is our hallway. Each teacher decorated their door as a train and we put down train tracks. The kids love it!</div>

Where does the time go?? I blinked and it's November! I went to blog this morning and realized there were several things from September that I didn't even post about it.

Hi! I'm popping in today to share with you my 2017-2018 classroom. This is my tenth year in this little classroom, and I love it more and more each year. Last year I completely redid everything with a woodland/camping theme from <a href="http://www.creativeteachingpress.com/">Creative Teaching Press.</a> I loved that theme so much that I decided I wanted to keep it, BUT I spiced it up with a few new things and some new decor from the <a href="http://www.creativeteaching.com/category/bold-bright">Bold and Bright Collection</a> from <a href="http://www.creativeteaching.com/">Creative Teaching Press</a>! What I love about the <a href="http://www.creativeteaching.com/category/bold-bright">Bold and Bright Collection</a> is that it could easily be mixed and match with themes you already have to add a little extra touch. One thing I did was added a border from the <a href="http://www.creativeteaching.com/category/bold-bright">Bold and Bright Collection</a> to the borders I already had up form the <a href="http://www.creativeteaching.com/category/woodland-friends">Woodland Friends Collection</a>. I thought it turned out super cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm so lucky and thankful to partner with my favorite teaching company, <a href="http://www.creativeteachingpress.com/">Creative Teaching Press </a>again this year as a Brand Ambassador!! <a href="http://www.creativeteachingpress.com/">Creative Teaching Press</a> is my go-to for all things classroom decor!! </div>

This week for our interactive read aloud, we read The Dot by Peter H Reynolds. This is such an wonderful book, with such an amazing message! We ended our week celebrating International Dot Day with some fun dot themed stations that we worked on after lunch. We listened to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_I43cxDQ-o">The Dot Song by Emily Arrow</a> on repeat {by request} while doing our stations. The kids LOVE THAT SONG!!! And I must say....so do I!!!</div>

The first couple of weeks of school we focused on counting to 10. We read the books Ten Apples on Top and when I was looking for ideas to go with this book I found a super cute freebie from <a href="http://www.mrsthompsonstreasures.com/2016/05/ten-apples-up-on-top-number-words.html/">Mrs. Thompson's Treasures</a>. I thought it was the perfect activity to use our Kwik Stix with!</div>

Hi! Happy Wednesday! I'm popping in today because it's day 18 of the new school year and I've already had one of my sweet firsties learn ALL 1,000 of Bubble Gum Words (Fry Words) and I'm so proud!!! So I thought I would do a blog post to tell you about how Bubble Gum Words work in my first grade classroom and why my kids get so excited to learn these words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my display in my classroom. Each student has a gum ball machine that they color/decorate and I hang up. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each student starts out on the 1st sheet of 100 words. I print these on different colors. For example the first sheet might be yellow, second sheet might be green, third sheet might be orange and so on. I add these to their BEAR Books (take home binders) so they can practice at home in their spare time.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Students learn these words at their own pace. Some move faster than others. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When students know a list of words inside and out, forwards and backwards, standing on one foot hopping with one eye closed (ha!) they get a hole punch for that list and then can move on to the next list on that sheet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If along the way they miss a word, I simply circle it to show parents that they need to study that word and this lets me know which words in that list they need to be asked again so they don't keep telling me already mastered words.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When they get the word right I put a check mark in the circle so parents as well as myself know that word as now been mastered.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And once all five lists on the sheet has been mastered they will color in a gum ball in their machine and they earn a piece of bubble gum!!! They love this! I will then add the next sheet of 100 words.</div>

They will then move on to Bubble Gum Phrases! The Bubble Gum Phrases program works just like the words. Students have a gum ball machine and begin on sheet 1 and work their way through all of the sheets learning all of the Fry Phrases and earning bubble gum along the way. </div>

I've never had a sweetie learn them as quickly as this little gal did, but I'm so proud of her and excited for her to start on the phrases next! My students get so excited about learning their Bubble Gum Words and are always asking if they can read them. I love their love for learning.... and bubble gum! ;)</div>

I also gave them these brownies as a first day of school snack... When I saw these I just knew I had to do something with them since I have a camping/woodland theme classroom. You can grab the tags as a freebie <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/We-Are-on-Track-For-a-Great-Year-Little-Debbie-Gift-Tags-3325099">HERE</a>! :)</div>

I also gave these to my students on the first day. This keeps students busy the first part of the morning while I sort through supplies and paperwork and meet with parents.

Hi blog friends! I'm popping in today to share some worksheet free ideas with you. Recently, I got the opportunity to try out some amazing products from one of my favorite companies <a href="http://www.learn365.orientaltrading.com/curriculum-a1-555421.fltr">Oriental Trading</a>! To say I was excited was an understatement. There are SOOO many great options for your classroom on their new education <a href="http://www.learn365.orientaltrading.com/curriculum-a1-555421.fltr">site</a>!! I wracked my brain trying to think of what I wanted to pick out the *most* and I decided to snatch up some things to help me use less worksheets in my first grade classroom in the upcoming new school year.</div>

The next thing I picked out are these <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/large-dry-erase-tabletop-stickers-a2-13698068.fltr">Large Dry Erase Tabletop Stickers</a>. These come 15 to a pack and are semi circles that line up with a straight edge. Since I was using them at my U table, I decided to put two semi circles together to make full size circles. These will be great when I am working with small groups or my guided reading groups for spelling, writing sentences, working out math problems, etc.</div>

The next thing I want to show you are these <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/dry-erase-paddles-a2-56_7011.fltr?keyword=dry+erase+paddles">Dry Erase Paddles</a>. I use Brainpop, Jr. all the time in my class and my students love the quizzes at the end of the videos. These would be perfect for the multiple choice questions on the quizzes.... students could simply write the letter A, B, C or D on the paddle and hold up for me to quickly check for understanding. The paddles would also be great for spelling and working out math problems.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm also loving these <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/web/browse/processProductsCatalog?sku=13741599">Dry Erase Number Line Sheets</a>. I aways get desk plates with number lines and the kids quickly wear out the number lines by marking on them and then trying to erase. These will be perfect, because they can now mark on their number line and actually erase it with ease and not messing up their nameplates like in the past. These come in 4 different colors and will tie in perfectly with my group colors. Each group will have their own set to store in their group shelf to use whenever they need.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And last but not least are these <a href="http://www.orientaltrading.com/web/browse/processProductsCatalog?sku=13742123">Dry Erase Sentence Strips</a>. These will be perfect for daily fix-its and sentence writing practice. Simply write a sentence on the board with mistakes and have your students re-write the sentence correctly.

Hi ya! Today was last day and I'm officially on summer break! Wahoo!! So... I thought I better knock the dust off of my neglected little blog and pop in to share some things from the end of the year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I planned several themed days for the end of the year to help make it extra special and fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One themed day we had was our First Grade Olympics. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week we read Tops and Bottoms. This is one of my favorite springtime stories and the kids always love it each year! Many of them didn't realize the different ways that vegetables grow. We discussed which vegetables were tops, bottoms, and middles and which veggies were are favorites. We also discussed how to plant a garden and what plants need in order to grow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I picked up a bag of broccoli and carrots and on Friday we did a little taste test to see which my students prefer... tops or bottoms? Many of my kids said they had never tried broccoli! One sweetie told me she was excited to eat them because she is supposed to have 5 different colors of fruit and veggies everyday. :)</div>

Every year I put activities inside a balloon and hang in them around the room. Throughout the day we pick a balloon to pop and do the activity inside the balloon. Some examples are 100 jumping jacks, write your numbers to 100, count to 100, do 100 high fives, 100 second dance session, when I'm 100 years old writing, if I had $100 writing, 100 seconds of silence {heavenly!}, and much, much more! They love this!</div>
