Hey, hey, hey! I knew you would ask so, here it is…..44 days! Totally not that I was counting. I just knew you would want to know so I counted them for you! HA! Tomorrow though is a teacher workday…oh YEAH! Something about working in our rooms is so much fun…and especially when you are not abandoning our husbands at home to do it! Double win! For some reason I am feeling feisty today….so I better just get on with it!
Last week our close read was about Cats vs. Dogs. We spiced up our nonfiction close read with Froggy Gets a Doggy. Click below to download those plans….
Here is our can/have/are chart….for some reason pulling facts this week was a little difficult. Last week they were EXPERTS on tigers, and this week I got a lot of blank looks! I think it was because they were looking at me like….hey lady don’t you already know what dogs can do?!
Have a great week!
I love the PowerPoint idea to practice opinions!!! Totally using it! Thanks!
Hi Tara, I have been following your blog for a few weeks now, and I can't believe that I haven't found it earlier. I love your visual plans and your descriptive posts. I'm definitely following you now

I love how you dive deep into a non fiction story each week and then compare to a fiction. I think doing this deepens students knowledge. I'm going to try this way next week. We use Journeys and I'm going to just focus on the nonfiction selection and follow your daily format.
