Poetry Unit

I just posted my new Poetry Unit on Teacher's Notebook!  I am very excited to be sharing this unit. It is filled with activities for teaching characteristics of poetry and the devices of figurative language!

I am also giving this Poetry Unit away free when I reach 30 followers in my Teacher's Notebook store! Head on over to my blog to find out how to enter!

Christmas Writing Prompt

I'm going to be out Monday and I wanted my kids to have something fun to do for writing. This is one of the hardest things for me to plan for when I'm out. So, I created a few Christmas writing prompts. I'm also going to put these out for Work on Writing for the rest of the month.

I hope it's something you can use!

*Scribd is acting crazy this morning, so I'll upload them there later. In the meantime, you can use the link above to get them from Google Docs.

Writing About Our Reading

I've been working through some bumps in the road during our Response to Literature Unit.

I found some success with Lucy Calkins' Units of Study and I'd love to share it with you!

Listening Center Freebie!

I just posted a Listening Center Freebie over at my blog. It's geared towards 3rd grade, so it has a little more "meat" to it.

Come check it out!


Happy Tuesday! ~Abby
