Text to-Self

Ugh, I had this post all written and I lost it. That seems to be happening to me more often than not. :/ Anyway, I hope you all are doing well.

If you recall a while ago I brought you a Text to-Self activity. My students love this so much that I revived it.

My Kinder kids read Chicks and Salsa...
and completed this sheet.

My 1st graders read Snowmen All Year...
 and completed this sheet.

Hope you find them useful.

Text to-Self and some Glee

I don't usually post videos or talk about tv a whole lot, but I just HAVE to share two of my fav Glee songs from this week.
I just ADORE B52's Love Shack, especially when Blaine is singing it.

Then there is the new addition to the cast. Very nice voice and excellent song choice for him.

Now on to the teacher stuff.
I am obsessed with Text to-Self activities. I found Mrs. Williamson's Snowy Day activities and fell in love. I knew I had to recreate this goodies and add a spot for my students pictures. My kids just did so great with these.
I liked adding my students pictures, because I made me feel like my kids understood the strategy better.

Next, we tried Cara Carolls Love Splat mini unit's Text to-Self.

I love Splat. I do think the red hearts look MUCH better than the red ones.

I loved the Text to-Self activity so much I wanted to share it. But it wouldn't be fair of me to share my copy of Mrs. Williamson's activity. So... I created a GENERIC version. I think I will use them often.

Have a great Friday!
