Wordless Wednesday...Classroom Overflow

Summer is speeding by......... and I hope that you are enjoying every moment.  I hope you decide to join the fun and link up with Christina DeCarbo too!
Last year, my family and I made a huge move.  We left family and my hometown in small town OHIO to journey to the suburbs of Chicago.  My new classroom was a tad bit smaller than my previous room so I was plagued with an itty bitty problem.  

What should I do with all my books??  

I am a bit of a book-o-holic........friends.  Luckily, IKEA came to the rescue.

Do you have classroom overflow?  If so how do you store it?

Wordless Wednesday: Reading for Meaning

 

How do you help your students read for meaning?

Wordless Wednesday: Inferences

So it appears that the only blog posts that I can finish are the Wordless Wednesday ones:)  I do have my civil rights post in the works.  I am just polishing up my freebie.  Now on to the important stuff.  

I like to teach my kids to infer using pictures.  I have them make observations and then use the observations to create inferences.

How do you teach your students to look beyond what is stated in the text or picture and infer what is happening or going to happen?

Wordless Wednesday: Civil Rights

 

My students and I wrapped up a brief investigation about civil rights last week.  Below is one of the of the activities that my kiddos completed.

 

Did you talk about civil rights with your students?  If so what creative ways did you use to get your students to grasp a concept of equality?

Stay tuned for more about our civil rights research.  A freebie might be heading your way:)

Wordless Wednesday: Little Acts

 

So I am going to come clean with everyone.  I have a little budding Picasso at my house.  This is what my little guy brought home from preschool today.  He was very excited to show to pull it out of his folder and WOW me with it.  He is promising another one tomorrow.

 

Has anyone surprised you with any 

little gifts or little acts of kindness today?

Bonus Question:  Can you tell what my little guys favorite color is?

Wordless Wednesday: Displaying Student Work

 

I am fortunate this year to have many talented artists in my resource class.  I like to showcase their work by using IKEA frames and arrange it as I would art at home. 

How do you display student work?
