The questions are in a bingo style format. Students read the informational text about Presidents Day, George Washington, and Abraham Lincoln. Then, they answer questions on the bingo grid. The grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo.

How to Play:
The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row. Up, down, or diagonally. Students can use counters or any treats to keep track of the questions called.

Also Included!
Reading Comprehension Questions: The questions are also in a traditional multiple choice and short answer format. Not all answers are included from the bingo grid and the questions may be slightly different. You would not need to use BOTH formats – pick one or the other.

Writing Process Signs {Calming Blue}

$2.00

These writing process signs will help you and your students identify the steps/parts of the writing process as well as keep track of where they are when working on a project and what to do next! Implementing a routine at the beginning of the year will help students be successful as writers throughout the year as well as in the rest of their writing life. These Writing Process Signs come in a calming blue with clear steps and visually pleasing clip art that will catch the eyes of you and your students. If you would like to see these posters in another color, please email me at help@theliteracyloft.com.

Steps Included
*A Writer's Thinking labels (3 different versions, rectangle, oval, circle)
*Generate Ideas
*Develop & Plan
*Rehearse
*Draft
*Revise
*Edit
*Peer Edit
*Publish
*Celebrate!

Ideas for Classroom Use
These posters come landscape 11 x 8.5. If you are looking for a different format, please email me! I suggest printing and laminating each of the signs. You may or may not want to use all of the signs. In general, there are variations in the steps of the writing process. Printing on card stock would allow these signs to be more durable, but is not necessary! You could even print and slip into sheet protectors. If you do not have access to a color printer, or find that it is too expensive, simply print in gray-scale and you are good to go! Here are some ways I have used writing process signs in my classroom:

*Writing Center- Put signs in sheet protectors and then attach on a binder ring and have students use as a reference.

*Bulletin Board- Display in a row above or on a bulletin board or even in the writing center as a reminder of the steps writers go through during the writing process.

*Writers’ Tracking System- Use as a way to track your young writers’ status in the writing process. You could do this by connecting the signs using binder rings. Then, hang on a bulletin board and use clothespins with your students’ names or numbers to track where they are in the writing process.

Are you looking for something else?
Please email me at help@theliteracyloft.com! I would love to add any words or signs that you use in your classroom.

Are you looking for a different color? I will be adding other versions of this same product with a different color. Please email me if you are looking for something specific!

Writing Process Signs

$2.00

Implementing a routine at the beginning of the year will help students be successful as writers throughout the year as well as in the rest of their writing life. These Writing Process Signs come in 3 different designs and patterns (navy & white quarter foil, navy & white stripes, teal & white chevron) If you like the signs, but would like to see them in different colors, please contact me! There are also two “title” posters. {The Writer’s Process and A Writer’s Thinking}

I suggest printing and laminating each of the signs. You may or may not want to use each of the signs. There are slight variations on the steps in the writing process, as a general rule of thumb. Printing on card stock would allow these signs to be more durable, but is not necessary! You could even print and slip into sheet protectors. If you do not have access to a color printer (or find that it is too expensive) simply print in gray-scale.

The signs could be used in several ways...
Writing Center- put signs in sheet protectors and then attach on a binder ring and have students use as a reference.

Bulletin Board- Display in a row above or on a bulletin board or even in the writing center as a reminder of the steps writers go through during the writing process.

Poetry - JUST the Notebook Anchor Charts

$4.00

This is a custom request for just the Poetry Notebook Anchor Charts from my Poetry Writing Unit which you can find here...

Reading and Writing the Language of Poetry

This set includes ONLY the Writing Notebook Anchor Charts listed below. The following description is for the FULL Unit Resources.

The world of poetry is vast and full of variety. Whether you are doing a full on unit or trying to incorporate poetry among other units in your classroom, poetry can be a tool to help you meet students language, comprehension, writing, and even fluency needs. Furthermore, poetry can be integrated into content areas (see acrostic slide). The resources included in this unit can provide you with the tools you need to incorporate poetry into your classroom.

What this Product Includes:

*28 Writing Notebook Anchor Charts: These Anchor Charts are half-size pages (2 on a page) that students can glue inside their writing notebooks to get ideas, as reference sheets, or use for practice throughout the unit.

22 Large Anchor Charts/Slides: These large anchor charts/slides can be used to teach, in a writing center, or as a reference in your classroom. I have used these large charts as part of my lesson by projecting on the SMART board. After the lessons, I printed these off and put them in sheet protectors and on binder rings to use in our writing center. Students could refer to them if necessary or I have also used these to have a small group work on a specific strategy.

Common Core Standards for Teaching Poetry: Unfortunately reading and writing poetry is not explicitly defined by the Common Core Standards. However, I have included grades 3-5 Literature and Language standards that this unit could help you meet with your students. Writing poetry only helps to make children a better reader of poetry.

Suggested Teaching Points: A calendar of suggested poetry teaching points has been included to help with planning and identifying a sequence of teaching points. I suggest immersing students in reading poetry before writing poetry to study the characteristics of poetry and reading like a writer. In the future, I plan to add explicit lessons to this unit as I have done in my Narrative Writing Unit. Please email me if you are interested so that I can send you updates to this unit.

Reading a Poem: This "think sheet" will help students analyze and read a poem for meaning.

Peer Revision Checklist: This checklist can guide students to revise and edit their poems.

Thank you so much for your purchase! If you are looking for something specific that is not included in this product, I would love to hear from you! Please email me with questions, feedback, concerns, or to get on my updates mailing list.

Happy Notes

Positive Notes are a simple and effective classroom management tool.

When you want to acknowledge a student’s behavior or effort, simply place a positive note on their desk, in their folder, on their work, or as a sticker!

In order to print the notes, you’ll want to print Page 3 (print as many copies as you want). Then, stick blank Post-Its on each square and insert the pages with the Post-Its attached back into your printer. All of the messages will print directly onto the Post-Its!

Lucky Charms Math- Find your Pot of Gold

$3.00

This resource offers fraction and decimal activities for you to use on or around St. Patrick's Day. You will need the cereal Lucky Charms for these activities. This resource is appropriate for grades 3-5, but aligns to the 4th Grade Common Core Standards.

MACC.4.NF.A.1 Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions

MACC.4.NF.3.6 Use decimal notation for fractions with denominators 10 or 100.

In the first activity, Find Your Pot of Gold!, students will find the fractional amounts of a set by using tally marks and creating a table.

In the second activity, My Fraction, My Decimal, students will use 10 pieces of Lucky Charms cereal (or 100 depending on the version you would like to use) to demonstrate the relationship from fractions to decimals. Then, plot the decimals and fractions on a number line. This is a wonderful activity to use when introducing decimal/fraction relationships.

Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo.

HOW TO PLAY:

The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place them in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice, and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row: up, down, or diagonally. Students can use counters or treats to keep track of the questions.
