Good Morning!<br />
In my last post I mentioned one of my favorite blogs Buzzing With Ms. B. Today I thought I'd share a couple of resources that I've found to be an amazing resource for me in my new position as an instructional coach.<br />
I work for a Head Start school center. I've been trained in Practice Based Coaching (PBC) which is a professional development strategy that uses a cyclical process. This process supports teachers’ use of effective teaching practices that lead to positive outcomes for children. <abbr title="Practice-Based Coaching">PBC</abbr> occurs in the context of collaborative partnerships.<em> Click to view </em><a href="https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/video/practice-based-coaching-collaborative-partners" target="_blank">videos to learn more about <abbr title="Practice-Based Coaching">PBC</abbr></a>.<br />
<br />
I've also found a great deal of support in a Collaborative Platform for the Early Care and Education Community also part of <a href="https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/about-us/article/mypeers-collaborative-platform-early-care-education-community" target="_blank">Early Childhood Learning and Knowledge Center (ECKLC) </a>. <br />
"<a href="https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/about-us/article/mypeers-collaborative-platform-early-care-education-community" target="_blank">MyPeers</a> is a virtual learning network where you can brainstorm, exchange ideas, and share resources with early childhood colleagues from across the country. It was created by the Office of Head Start (OHS) to help you connect and learn with people who share your interests and program responsibilities. These informal connections can be a great source of encouragement and insight.<br />
There are more than 40 <a href="https://eclkc.ohs.acf.hhs.gov/about-us/article/mypeers-collaborative-platform-early-care-education-community" target="_blank">MyPeers</a> communities!" <br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hello! </span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I'm happy to be back after a long absence. Many things have changed, including my title. Six years ago I moved down from kindergarten to Pre-K in a Head Start Center. During this time I loved being with my young students, but I also grew professionally while creating curriculum maps, collaborating on a literacy team, and through professional learning opportunities. All of which led me to my new position with Head Start. I am now an <em>instructional coach</em>. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> I'm eager to share what I've learned along my teaching and professional path with new teachers and teachers who are trying to discover new ways to approach student learning. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I transition into my new role, i hope other new and seasoned coaches will reach out and share their knowledge too. <em>One of my newest favorite blogs with great coaching resources </em><a href="https://buzzingwithmsb.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Buzzing With Ms. B.</a> You can click on her name to access her site.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Looking forward to learning and</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> growing further together. :)</span></div>

Ok so it's not quite that time of year yet. But I've been awol so long I thought maybe I'd scare you with a post. LOL<br />
This weekend I found some really cute pumpkin ice trays at the Dollar Tree. I think they'll be perfect for Halloween and Thanksgiving 10 frame/counting games. Just change up the seasonal "markers" for fun.<br />

I actually found even cuter mini erasers at Target today-cute little ghosts. A peer teacher said she found mini pumpkins too. So, tomorrow after work I'll have to go hunt them down.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought ten of these trays so I could either use them in small groups with one ten or two tens when we work on numbers to 20. So many game options:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Roll a die and place an eraser in that many spaces. First one to fill their tray wins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Use two die and roll and fill to make sums. I'll make a simple pumpkin sums recording sheet for this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Fill all spaces and roll one die to subtract. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br />I'm sure you guys have lots of other great ideas too. If you do-share away, I'd love to hear them.</div>

On another note, Kim from Lakeshore Learning sent me two great products to review. One is the Plinko Phonemic Awareness Game. This is an awesome language game where students identify beginning, ending and rhyming words. So simple, yet my students LOVE it. We've been using it as a whole group, end of day activity at this point. But I can see this being a wonderful independent activity a little later in my year. Check it out if you haven't seen this product. You won't be disappointed!</div>

Summer should go by fast! I took a picture, as promised, of my quality work rubric anchor chart.<br />

Click on the anchor chart to create one for your room. Print on legal paper and glue or tape to chart paper. I laminated mine after spending a week or two explicitly teaching/modeling and practicing how to use each school tool. I leave it up all year as a reference to remind students of the expectations.<br />
I hope this is helpful to you all!<br />

Freebie too!<span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">Apologizies for my absence. It's been a whirlwind. After finishing up our year we began preparing for Common Core Standards. So I've spent some time this summer attending workshops and foraging other blogs and websites for CCSS ideas. While this will be a lot of change-I'm super excited about it too. </span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;"> One of the workshops I attended was by Sue O'Connell. She provided a wealth of hands on math ideas and modeled number talk very explicitely. Our district VERYgenerously purchased her book for us, which comes with a CD of her blacklines for math games. All are editable for your needs. I'm looking forward to getting started with that. Here's her link if you'd like to check it out. </span><a href="http://www.qualityteacherdevelopment.com/teacher_resources.php"><span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">http://www.qualityteacherdevelopment.com/teacher_resources.php</span></a><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit;">We are also getting these ten frame - which Sue O'Connell recommended for modeling in groups.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Before cleaning up my room and preparing for summer, I sent many of our resources for the fall to the copy center. One of my favorite teaching tools, which my assistant uses with her small groups is my Alphaworks letter sorting book. There are 26 letter poems, circle maps for sorting letter sounds, and this year we included handwriting and sentence practice too. (The handwriting pages are from Scholastic.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Here's what the book looks like after the copy center prints and binds it. Such a wonderful resource. Check it out by clicking on the picture.</span></span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Finally, I have created some word cards to go in a small apple pocket chart. We spend the first few weeks of the new year discussing quality work and how to use our school tools safely and properly. I display a Quality Work rubric/poster for the year as a reference to students of what quality work looks like. I think these cards will be a great addition to my poster and will also serve as a visual reminder of direction words as well. (Sorry I don't have a picture of my Quality Work poster-but I'll take one the next time I'm at school.)</span></div>

Seems like the year flew by -but I guess we always say that don't we?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We'll be getting ready for our End of Year Celebrations, practicing songs, and having our special T-Shirts printed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> At the end of the year I put together a little memory book filled with pages that mark some starting points for kindergarten. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I also give each student a Mr. Goodbar Candy Bar Award. Super cute and something for everyone. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Have you been as busy as I've been? We're ramping up to begin CCSS next year so it feels like I'm working on this year and next year at once. Lots of new and exciting plans coming up though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Next week we'll be reviewing story elements and reading In The Rain With Baby Duck by Amy Hest. It's a really cute book, but there were no related activities in cyberland. So I created a unit with twenty different comprehension questions, a Build-A-Sentence Center (which my kids LOVE!), couple of journal prompts and a cute Color By Sight Word page. <br /> If you haven't seen this book, check it out-great for this time of year. I also have a Raindbows and Raindrops Literacy and Math Unit on my TPT store. It's filled with April themed Write The Room Activites and small readers for your kids.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let me know what you think if you check them out! Click on each picture to see more information.</span><br />

It's been busy- but I had to take time to share this post from </span><a href="http://kreativeinkinder.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">Kreative in Kinder</span></a><span style="color: magenta; font-family: inherit;">. Her post touched my heart and I want to do my part to help out. Here's a copy of her post:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Doodle Print"; font-size: 16pt;">A sweet blogstalker, Anne, emailed Teaching Blog Addict this week with hopes that we would reach out and help with the recent devastation in our country. She was not alone in her idea or passion to lend a helping hand. Many teachers felt the same way so what are we going to do about it?<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Doodle Print"; font-size: 16pt;">On March 2<sup>nd</sup>, several towns across the U.S. were devastated by the destruction of at least 44 tornadoes across 5 different states. At least 27 people died and there were thousands left without homes and even schools. I think the heart of a teacher is that of a giving spirit. It is our job to love all children even when it is sometimes hard, to work more hours than most professions, and give even when we feel like we have nothing left. This catastrophe is an opportunity for us to do what we do best, lend a helping hand, caring heart, and teach a lesson of love. My heart is that each of you will adopt a teacher in a school affected by the tornadoes. It could be as simple as writing letters of encouragement or having your team clean out your closets and ship out everything you can live without to a teacher in your grade level. I couldn't imagine losing my school! I have thousands of dollars of materials that I have purchased for my class not to mention the hundreds of hours I have spent making materials for my students. If you would like to participate, please leave me the grade you teach and your email address. I am on Spring Break this next week and will be contacting schools, getting names and addresses of teachers. Maybe you sell on TPT or TN and want to donate everything in your store. That would be great! I plan on doing that too! If you don’t have tangible items to donate, no biggy! We have all suffered through some sort of loss. It means just as much to receive a letter of encouragement and we are born encouragers!! I will send out an email with the school information that you will be assigned to. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;"><br />
</div><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Doodle Print"; font-size: 16pt;">How else can you help? Spread the word! Link up! I think with all of the negative buzz about education, the strikes, the stress we are facing with job losses and budget cuts, this could be a good distraction and also a way to show people that we are here, united and strong! We care about teachers and education. We have chosen to be in a profession that most say “I could never do that all day!” but unfortunately if feels has become the least valued. So, I am choosing to not be sad about the way things are changing because there are teachers that are hurting and we need to help them! Who’s with me??<o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

I promise I will respond to you guys much more quickly now that I know I have this email account.<br />
I'm so embarrassed-"laughing" through it though.<br />

</div><div class="yiv1769975343separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This week I got an email from a very sweet kindergarten teacher from Joplin. Here is what her email said:</div><div class="yiv1769975343separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Geneva; font-size: 13px; text-align: left;"><br />
</span></div><div class="yiv1769975343separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Geneva; text-align: left;"> I teach in Joplin, which made worldwide news last May when our town was cut in half by an F5 tornado. Many of our elementary schools were destroyed or damaged, and as teachers, we have had a roller coaster year. I came from a meeting yesterday where many are struggling with the weight of all we are dealing with. My request is this: would you be willing to donate a created pack of your choosing to give away at a drawing at our upcoming district Kindergarten grade level meeting? The meeting is Monday and I am sorry for the short notice but I did not realize until the meeting how down everyone is feeling. </span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, of course, I said "YES!" and filled her email inbox with goodies.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Then I started to think (scary), I bet there are other teachers (besides kindergarten teachers) who could use a little love. Want to help? Here is how:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">1. Send your TpT product or Teacher's Notebook to Erica</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><a href="mailto:edoennig@joplin.k12.mo.us" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" ymailto="mailto:edoennig@joplin.k12.mo.us"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1326573755_4">edoennig@joplin.k12.mo.us</span></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">2. Then link up here</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Wouldn't it be awesome if we filled her email with signs of love?</span></div><div class="yiv1769975343separator" id="yui_3_2_0_1_132657123586216184" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVFyVaqs_DWglLpuhyFZ0oNJkbB7qFL382nSVT1WhktAIEAia2u0AtaXNapBWVOpSESTnucTQIkzQ0tSrgO9uyxbEZw1fxlkeeuuA06eOnZXSoypgyq_ALE3WjnDt80S0iLda1bfv23krt/s1600/Presentation1.png" id="yui_3_2_0_1_132657123586216183" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="240" id="yui_3_2_0_1_132657123586216182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVFyVaqs_DWglLpuhyFZ0oNJkbB7qFL382nSVT1WhktAIEAia2u0AtaXNapBWVOpSESTnucTQIkzQ0tSrgO9uyxbEZw1fxlkeeuuA06eOnZXSoypgyq_ALE3WjnDt80S0iLda1bfv23krt/s320/Presentation1.png" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Fill free to grab the heart above to share with your readers.

Measurement Unit<span style="font-family: inherit;">Next week we will be reading A Turkey for Thanksgiving, and decorating a turkey with a sign that says "Eat More.....". We'll also be having our Corn Feast and creating turkey headbands to wear at the feast. I'll be reading "Turkey Trouble" and students will identify the problem and solution. So with all that turkey fun planned, all I was missing was some Turkey Fun Math. Since we're working on measuring using non-standard units-I created this new file. <strong><span style="color: orange;">Click on the Turkey to download for FREE!</span></strong> It's a great addition to my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Gobbling-Good-Thanksgiving-Literacy-Centers"><strong><span style="color: orange;">Gobbling Good Thanksgiving Literacy Unit too! </span></strong></a></span><br />

So I created a few of my students favorites. My students LOVE Write The Room. This is our Friday literacy center each week. You can see my Thanksgiving Write and Stamp the Room and my Gobbling Good Thanksgiving CVC center here.<br />

Well here's my obsession. I've decided I need one of these overalls pocket charts-which of course have been discontinued. I've almost gotten lucky twice with two teachers who thought they had an old one laying around. So - here's my last ditch effort. Does anyone have one they aren't using -and wants to part with it? Please let me know.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">What's your obsession? :)</div>Lisa Morrowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16033263791334028986noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2710850194966990973.post-43775135789446533812011-10-12T16:16:00.000-07:002011-10-12T16:16:05.493-07:00Greet with Lots of Treats Giveaway!<span style="font-family: inherit;">Greet with Lots of Treats Giveaway! </span><br />

It helped the students with one to one matching and left to right progression so much that I also began making my own </span><a href="http://classic.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sight-Word-Reader-This"><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">sight word readers</span></strong></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> with these dots. (We call them frog dots becasue I tell the students they are hopping from one word to the next!) :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Today I bought two 3/16 dowels and cut them into 4 inch pieces. I then stuck bumper pads (Purchased at a local craft store) onto one end to create "frog dot" stampers for each of my students to use. I'm thinking this will be an added activity for the beginning readers in small groups to identify where to begin reading and one to one matching of words.</span><br />
<a href="http://classic.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Sight-Word-Reader-This"><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: inherit;">Here's where you can find one of the 7 sight word readers I have listed on TPT.</span></strong></a><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Here's a picture of how they came out. Hope some of you can use this idea as well!</span><br />

One of the other kindergarten teachers I work with came up with a cute idea that I used today. She filled a birthday bag with party "supplies". I sat down and began telling a story about a birthday party I was planning for my friend. First I took out the balloon-and told the children I had bought balloons for my friends party, then the party hat-because you have to have party hats at a birthday party, ice cream cone, and sprinkles...etc. After hyping up each item I also asked students to tell me what shape it was. After we had gone through all of the items in the bag I explained that shapes are everywhere. (You could use other items such as a can of frosting, a box of cake mix, etc.) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We then proceeded to sort the pieces in my </span><a href="http://classic.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Shapes-Are-All-Around-Us-pocket-chart-sort"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: red;"><strong>Shapes Are All Around Us Pocket Chart Sort found here</strong>.</span></span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I ran mine on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006HN5Q/ref=asc_df_B00006HN5Q1725435?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=asn&creative=395093&creativeASIN=B00006HN5Q"><span style="color: magenta;">Avery 3270 Magnetic Sheets.</span></a> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's a picture of the Birthday Bag! It was such a fun, practical way to demonstrate shapes to my class. Hope your class enjoys this too.</span><br />
