Share the Wealth Teacher-Author Spotlight- Gingerose

A BIG fall welcome to Share the Wealth Teacher-Author Spotlight!

It seems that ghosts are in the air and goblins are waiting around every bend to give us a great Halloween scare. Soon the kiddos will be knocking on your door telling you that traditional "trick or treat" phrase. Then with hands, claws, paws, and bags extended, they will be waiting for your thoughtful goodness to fill their sacks!

With Halloween just a few days away, I am excited to bring some exciting TREATS your way. And, with the affordable and engaging activities from today's author, you can share some amazing "SUGAR FREE" treats with your class! Let's get started and meet our guest!

Today, we have Gingerose from Hot Springs, Arkansas. WAHOO!

This is what Gingerose has to say to you, my dear Share the Wealth Friends: 
"This is my 23rd year of teaching.  I began as an elementary teacher teaching 1st grade through 5th grade in a variety of capacities.  Most of that time was spent in 4th and 5th grade.  A few years back I decided I wanted a change so I jumped, both feet first, into the world of Junior High at a very small rural school in Arkansas. Wow, are they different but I am loving it.  Currently, I teach some pretty awesome 7th graders their math and the 8th graders their math and science.  I stumbled into Teachers pay teacher at the end of the school year this past year.  Did not think I had anything to lose so I thought I would give it a try.  Boy am I glad that I did! Not only is it already making me a better teacher but I have met some pretty great people along the way.  In my store I have many things that I have created throughout the years so it is very diverse. You will just have to come check it out!  (BTW, all bundles are also sold as separate items.)"

Now, let me tell you that when she says that she has a diverse set of materials for you to review, she isn't "tricking" you! She has over 100 products- YES, you read that right! OVER 100 PRODUCTS- Talk about EYE CANDY!

Here are a few that I wanted to share with you- Keep in mind that these paid items are the bundled version- but EVERY item in the bundle can be purchased separately! So, if you see something that you love in a bundle- just search for that in her store. Here are the goodies worth clicking on:

I've Been Boo'd!

BOOOOO! It's Halloween time and apparently the goodie ghosts have discovered where my blog lives. :)

The amazing Mrs. S of The Peanut Gallery (a fabulously talented teacher and dear friend) drifted by leaving goodies all around. And when I say talented lady- I AM NOT KIDDING! YOU TOTALLY NEED TO CHECK OUT HER STORE! Anyways, I am going to play along tonight. So below are the details. 

You've probably all played the popular game BOO at school where you leave a ghost on someone's desk or mailbox along with a treat.  Let's do the same by sharing some love from our stores...

Here's how to play.  Choose a fellow blogger that has MORE followers, another that has about the SAME number of followers, and last, someone that has LESS followers.Highlight their blogs with links to encourage others to check them out.  Don't forget to let your fellow bloggers know that you shared about them.  Lastly, leave them some love by offering them a goody from your store as their "treat."


So here are the three blogs I would like to share with you:

1) Ms. Joanne of Kids Teaching and Learning - I found her blog through a forum post and she is an experienced teacher that has a lot to share! You can find her TpT shop HERE.

2) Dive into Learning is another blogger that I would like to share with you. Not only can you find amazing science and math lessons, but they are all reasonably priced. Check it out HERE.

and my final stop on the tour is:

3) Jen over at Teaching, Life, and Everything In Between. A great blogger and a master of creating math, writing, and management items- Jen's store is worth taking a peek at! Click HERE to check it out.

I hope that you have enjoyed the BOO'D session. :)

Happy Haunting-

MrHughes

The Four Types of Sentences: Harder Than It Seems!

Hello Friends,

As the teacher of three language arts classes (4th, 5th, and 6th grades), I have been struggling to get my students to really remember the four types of sentences. (sigh...)

I keep thinking- SERIOUSLY? YOU CAN'T REMEMBER FOUR TYPES OF SENTENCES FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT? HOLY MOLEY! (double sigh...)

Then I stopped and thought about it for a few minutes and realized that there was one minor problem. The students, for the most part, just really didn't care. I mean, WHY SHOULD THEY? They saw no connection to what we were supposed to be learning to their "real" lives. I knew that I had to think up some way to get them to even WANT to try and think about these outside my classroom walls.

My first attempt was to try and use my basal program, the worksheets, the reteaching worksheets. That helped the higher kids start to understand the concepts a bit better, but I was still worried about the strugglers. I have a hard time, as I am sure you all do, of keeping those struggling learners in my classes focused and engaged. I then turned to using my Smart board and created interactive lessons. I KNEW this had to be the answer. After a couple review sessions, I had to accept that it still wasn't reaching my targeted learners. 

I thought and thought and decided that maybe using authentic writing might be helpful. So, I gave them the assignment to pay attention to their at-home reading, and try to identify each kind of sentence, make notes on it, and then report to the class. This worked a little better, but when quizzing the students orally, most still couldn't name the types of sentences or tell what their function was. (triple sigh...)

I was starting to get frustrated and overwhelmed. Then, the last Wednesday night around 10pm, I had a brainstorm. I would make a sentence sort. After I got the whipped out, I had an even better idea. CENTERS! I should do centers with my classes. Okay, It was only 10:30pm and I knew that I could come up with a few more centers. I knew that I could use basal review sheets as one station. I needed a few more centers to make this work. With my larger classes being over 22 each, I didn't want to have huge groups.

This lead to thinking up my sentence hunts that get the kids highlighting ACTUAL sentences in PUBLISHED BOOKS!

I also knew that I wanted them to use what they were learning to WRITE. I mean, after all we are working on WRITING SKILLS!

I was up until after 1am tweaking, printing, and laminating. I went to sleep still thinking about what I could do, and was up by 6:15am and back at my computer finishing up a tweak on the writing center. ( I hate when I have my best ideas late at night. SO WORTH IT THOUGH!)

When I got to school I was running around like crazy gathering the needed materials, but I DID IT! I had everything ready to go by the time my first class arrived in my room! WAHOO!

Here are some pictures of the centers in action

This is the writing center. The kids had to write different paragraphs about Halloween topics using certain requirements. There was also a comic strip on the back they had to fill out as well (they REALLY loved that part!).

This group is working on a Sentence Hunt. It was a bit confusing at first, but they got the hang of it and it was fun to listen to the students discuss what type of sentence they had just read.

This is the other Sentence Hunt activity. They loved seeing the colors fill the page!

I am very proud of my sentence sort. The students were having a great time making up ways to do this center. I have one or two suggestions and they went crazy with it.

This was my Basal practice sheets center. After they completed the practice page as a group they turned their paper over and they wrote a short Halloween story.

 I ran each center for about 8 minutes and then had the students rotate to the next center. I think that I will do these again (even AFTER HALLOWEEN) and give them a little longer to work. I am even thinking that I will set up a few of the centers at the back of the room so the kids can do them when they "finish early".

Because these worked so well, I decided to put them together in an easy-to-use kit that you can use.

If your students need extra practice like mine, I think you will enjoy using this!

Share the Wealth Teacher-Author Spotlight- Andrea M. Bentley

Greetings Share the Wealth Friends!

I am loving that it is Fall. The smell of wood stoves, the crisp CRUNCH of leaves under foot, the smell of pumpkin pie and apple tarts, and the chill in the air that refreshes the lungs and helps you snuggle up to the one you love... sigh. Bliss.

With Fall comes the great change of the seasons and an opportunity to try new things. Maybe you will try a new recipe at home or watch a movie you haven't been sure of. Or, maybe you will be inspired to try a new activity with your students or children. If it is the later, you are at the right place.

I am pleased to bring to you a fantastic teacher-author in this edition of the Teacher-Author Spotlight.

I would like to introduce you to Andrea M. Bentley from Cairo, Georgia.

This is what Andrea has to say about herself:
"I have over ten years in education. I have spent years teaching at the middle grades level as well as at the high school level. I love creating fun lessons that my students will enjoy. I currently teach 7th and 8th grades at a rural PreK-8 school in Georgia. We make our students our priority, and the school is much like a huge, extended family. I have experience working with preschool children at church, and I have created numerous materials to use with my daughter for her class. When I am not teaching and creating new lessons, I like to spend time with my family, read any book I can get my hands on, run, and go to the beach." 

Andrea has created many fun and exciting resources for every subject! This is a one-stop shopping experience. Not only can you get language arts activities, but you can throw a few math, holiday, and social studies activities in your cart as well! I have listed a few you may want to check out here (don't miss the freebies mixed in there!):

I have spent quite a bit of time looking over these resources, and I can honestly say that these are quality products that will NOT disappoint you! In fact, Andrea's 4.0/4.0 feedback rating speaks for itself!

But don't just take my word for it, here is what teachers are saying about Andrea and her products:

jimcall

I love this treasure chest of material. Thank you for a wonderful product.

kelsborn

This is so helpful in my classroom

TeacherKMiddle

I love how this is bundled together for a great price! The PPT is great! The handouts help provide the reinforcement needed. The students are going to love the activity for practicing this skill. Thank you for another great product!

KinderTeacher31

Looks great! Will definitely use with my fall theme!

Emily Baldry

I love this! Will be a great center for my 4th graders where they will review the types of nouns we've been working on this week. THANK YOU!

Alveda Zahn

You are a lifesaver! Thank you for putting this together.

Her feedback speaks for itself. AMAZING!

Of course, it wouldn't be a teacher-author spotlight without reviewing a resource from this amazing teacher-author. 

The item I would like to review for you this evening is Andrea's Direct and Indirect Objects PowerPoint, handouts, and activity. 

Okay, before you even GET to this view (the packet and resource packet) you get to share a really well created PowerPoint presentation with your students. Here are a few screen shots from the 13 slide presentation (which by the way, comes both with transition animation and non-animated versions- totally thoughtful teacher-author here!)

After you have presented the lesson from the PowerPoint (don't have PPT? No worries, you can print it as a PDF and use your document camera!) You get to move on to the HANDS-ON portion of the lesson!

This part is found in the Activity Packet.

Don't let this cover fool you. It may not be flashy, but it's just a cover!

 Inside you will find yourself looking at activities like this one- where you take this sheet, laminate it, and cut it out. The pieces are then put in an envelope and used with various activities as outlined in the directions.

The students are given the sentence pieces and sets of arrows like those pictured below in a big envelope.

The kids use the pieces to order the sentence so it makes sense and then they use the arrows to name the parts of speech. 

I absolutely LOVE that these are hands-on. When students can DO with their hands and then write it down, they get a better opportunity to keep the information locked in their heads!

There are four sentences so students can repeat the activity several times without doing the same sentence.  You could even do a center style rotation OR, I just thought of this, students could race each other to see who can create and label the sentence correctly first! 

After the hands-on practice, students are given a worksheet style assignment to check their understanding.

I LOVE all the amazing resources here!

Then, like all good teaching materials, there is an assessment piece. But this unit comes with an entire packet devoted to helping you ensure learning. Quizzes, handouts, and activities.

This resource currently has a 4.0/4.0 rating and only costs $5.00! HOLY MOLEY! Five dollars (less than a large soda and a doughnut) will get you a hands-on interactive unit that your students will LOVE!

 I know that I am really excited to use it with my classes!

As you can see, this is a language arts lesson that will only make your life easier! Head on over to Andrea's store and check out all her amazing and truly useful resources. You won't be sorry you took the time.

You can also find Andrea on Pintrest and on her Blog. Check out these sites for even more great ideas from this fabulous teacher-author! Don't hesitate- click on over NOW!

Cheers!

Next Stop: Fictional Narrative

I can't believe that a week has come and gone. With the new month, I have started working with my 6th graders on Fictional Narratives. I HAVE decided that I am going to take a couple of months on this genre and REALLY get into the nitty gritty of it. We have been studying the structure of fictional narratives, reading mentor texts, and talking about what we read during the day from a "writer's perspective". It is really fun to hear the kids start to talk about the things they read as a writer!

For my bulletin board, I had  my amazing wife do all the writing for me. I got the purpose (top left corner), the title, and of course... THE ANCHOR CHARTS started and posted.

Because I am taking it slow and covering the concept in depth, I am still working on teaching the lessons that will fill in all the anchor chart spaces, and I am working to do those quickly- but with understanding.

However, we just had a mini-lesson on the framework of a fictional narrative and the students drew the anchor chart in their journals. It took a little while, but I love that they have mini-charts in their notebooks. Shoot! I should have taken a picture of a student notebook. They did such a great job with them! My wife made this poster sized one for my board. I really like how it turned out!

I also love that since I started at the back of the chart book and am moving forward, the anchor chart for Personal Memoirs is still accessible to the students by simply lifting up the paper (as shown below)! I love when I have good ideas (because they don't seem to happen as often as I would like).

As we continue through our journey with Fictional Narratives, I will continue to share what we do so you can enjoy the journey with me. Today, we worked on studying mentor texts and writing rules for punctuating dialogue. We found that there are four different ways that dialogue is written. We will have our anchor chart made by the end of tomorrow and  my wife will take my sloppy copy and make it a thing of beauty- THEN I will share it with you.

I am excited to take the adventure with my students. I realize that the new core standards want us to focus on and push non-fiction reading and writing, and I will, but I feel that I need to get them excited about writing FIRST and then we can move on to those other concepts.

Writing ROCKS!

Cheers!

Product Swap Review (The Peanut Gallery)

 I need to tell you about this amazing teacher-author that I discovered a few months ago. Who is the amazing  person you ask? Well, it is none other than:

I have had the privileged of getting to know The Peanut Gallery over the past several months and when we got partnered, I was VERY excited.

I wanted to review one of the 4 sets in her Figurative Language Mega Bundle.

Because I am the writing teacher for the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders in my school, I wanted to try something that I would actually be able to use over and over again- and believe me when I tell you I WILL BE USING THIS BUNDLE AGAIN (and again, and again...)

For the swap, I decided to focus on test driving ONE of the four amazing kits. (You CAN get just the kit I reviewed separately by clicking HERE- but I would TOTALLY recommend the Mega Bundle. Not only do you save money, but you will WANT all four kits.)

This is the kit I choose to review.



And Now, On to the Review...

I started by choosing the pages I wanted to print from this awesome kit! As you can see from the table of contents below, there was PLENTY of activities to use to get the idea of Onomatopoeias across to my students.

Aren't the amount of pages you have at your fingertips amazing? Phew. It was hard to decide exactly what activities I wanted to do first. This was a GOOD problem to have.

Thankfully we have a nice color-laser printer at home. It made choosing and printing what I needed a snap. And, what is nice is that even though everything is in nice bright and eye-catching color- if you needed to print in black and white- it wouldn't affect the usefulness of this set of lessons. I found that be a huge positive in my mind.

Here is my selected and printed activities. I LOVE the anchor chart that is included. (It is the top page you can see).

My wife was a lifesaver. I was swamped with grading papers and she stepped in and copied and laminated for me. I wanted to laminate several of the components so they would be useful year after year.

These are activity cards from the set. I LOVE the ideas- yes IDEAS (PLURAL) that are given on how to use these fun cards. I used them with my document camera (as shown below). The students LOVED trying to write the sounds that would be made by each picture I showed them. We laughed and had a great time with that activity.

A favorite of the kids was also reading the included story (not pictured here). The kids loved being the sound effects for the story. It was too funny. In fact, they kept making the sounds from the story for the rest of the day. It was fun.

For their homework that night I assigned them the comic strip activity. The kids had a great time writing and coloring their "story". I had several students share their work with the class using my document camera. I was impressed with the amount of thought that went in to so many of the projects. It was impressive.

Above and below is more of the amazing work my students did.

The last part I want to share from this kit (and there was more that I could have done) was the poetry component. My class was a little hesitant to engage in this activity. Not because it was "boring" or "lame", but rather because it was going to cause them to think. However, after some convincing they embraced this activity. Below are three that I thought were VERY well done!

As you can easily see, this is a quality kit- complete with engaging student friendly handouts, easy to follow teaching instructions/suggestions, and more.

Like I mentioned above, I will be using this kit EVERY year. I can't wait to use the other kits in my mega bundle. They are TOTALLY worth EVERY PENNY I paid for them. :)

What are you waiting for? Get Clicking! :)


Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers!
