This site has served it’s purpose. I was moved to third grade and wanted a place to organize all the storytown resources.
My new blog is here: http://learningwithmrss.com

Curriculum Map – Spelling/Vocab. Theme 6
by adminIn our curriculum map, we only teach lesson 26 and lesson 27 from theme 6. I have typed up one file, so students don’t study the wrong words.
Theme 5 – Leveled Reader Activities
by adminI recently purchased two more MP3 players and added the leveled reader stories to it. Now it’s available as a listening station. I wanted to create some quick reading activities where students practice reading skills. The following activity was edited from the printables and changed into a cut and paste activity.
Reading, Thinking, Writing – Reading Journal Response Prompts
by admin
We are starting daily reading response journals in our classroom. I have typed up the following PDF file with reading response prompts. They will be cut and glued to the top of a page. After reading, the student will respond to what strategy they used. I am thinking of having lots of copies of these readily available, so students can get exactly which one they need.
I used the book “Strategies That Work” by S. Harvey and A. Goudvis to help me in typing these up.

Theme 5 – Lesson 22 – Visualize, Cause and Effects
by adminStudents will complete these two sheets at a reading activity station.
I am thinking of blowing them up (we have a poster maker) and having students choose which activity they want to complete with a partner.

Literacy Stations – Choice Board and Student Reflection
by adminI started using a pocket chart to show what my students were doing for stations, but I have found that I like it better when students keep track of what they are doing. I have typed up the following choice board and student reflection sheet. I have added the stations my students currently do and added some early finisher activities. They early finisher activities are mostly task cards that I’ve found online. I will add the links to them later.
