One million hours later, and it’s done. 🚢 I have literally never done a Lego set in my entire life, but my husband gave my Titanic-loving-self the biggest set they’ve ever made, and I committed to finishing it by this Christmas, so here we are. 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ #9090pieces #myfingershurt #titanic #titaniclego

I have always included morphology in my instruction, but it’s a MAJOR goal of mine this year. Anyone else?!💥 I took the week long Orton-Gillingham training and have been busily incorporating these skills while making it challenging and engaging. This activity was SO much fun and super easy to differentiate.

First, students had to read a paragraph with a bunch of missing un- and re- words (picture 1️⃣). We brainstormed words that might go in the blanks based on context clues and what we know about these specific prefixes.

Then, I gave them vocab cards with the meaning of the words. They created word sums (picture 2️⃣) for each and then began placing them into the story (picture 3️⃣).

Finally, they flipped them over to reveal the completed words and read the story (picture 4️⃣).

There are so many ways you can do this — if your students need more scaffolding, place the cards/definitions directly into the story instead of having them determine where they go!

I created this regions literacy unit to hit almost every single informational text standard while engaging every student (and being low-prep for you)!

Whether you study the regions during your social studies curriculum or just want an amazing reading unit, this project fits the bill!

Students synthesize information from many different sources to create a scrapbook to document their travels. 🧳

🚘 Grab your road trip snacks, and let’s go!

Who is focusing more on grammar instruction this year?! 🫣 Your students will thank you later for teaching them the correct way to punctuate their family name on Christmas cards. 😂 🎄

I know it can be overwhelming, but it’s amazing how much progress you’ll see when you explicitly teach these skills, incorporate authentic texts as examples, and use mentor sentences regularly.
