Love Note Literacy was a HIT today! ❤️💕 We

Love Note Literacy was a HIT today! ❤️💕 We began by reading some funny love notes, annotating them, and picking out different parts of the writing. Then, they set off to write their own letter to hand sanitizer from the perspective of a tissue. We were laughing so hard at the letters, and they were so creative! I’ve been doing this for the last 14 years, and the results are 💖 impeccable 💖 every year! Drop a comment below, and I’ll send the info your way!

Don’t skip this book recommendation because it’s my favorite one I’ve read all school year. 🥹 Comment below, and I’ll send you a link, but here are all the details of the book and the moving activity we did with it: ❤️💕

This sweet book is about a young scientist who creates new plants that help people solve problems…. Until he comes across one person he just can’t seem to help. With a little creativity and a lot of love, he dives headfirst into solving the problem! It’s a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ book, and my students LOVED it. It’s great for Valentine’s Day, but you can use it any time.

❤️ After we were done reading, I had each student think of a person they know and a problem they could solve for that person. They had five minutes and a jar of play dough to design a plant that would help that person.

❤️💕 The problems/solutions they came up with were more thoughtful than I could have ever dreamed. I was moved to tears by several of them, and I highly recommend taking 15 minutes out of your day next week to do this!

It’s time to refresh our enrichment binders! ❤️

🤔 Why enrichment binders? ✍️ Is this just more busy work?

💥 Absolutely not!! 💥

💡 While everything inside can be used with most students in any classroom, I often use them with my GT or high-achieving students.

🌈 I am a firm believer that students who have mastered material should have DIFFERENT work, not just MORE work.

👉That means when students have shown mastery of a skill, we don’t need to make them do more of the same — Instead, we need to have something MEANINGFUL ready for them that either advances or enriches their learning and thinking!

📝 Combined with differentiated class work and appropriate enrichment programs, the content within enrichment binders is rigorous and meaningful and will challenge and advance them academically while still remaining SUPER engaging.

I update enrichment binders as needed, based on current skills, goals, and needs! Comment below to see what’s in ours right now!

Thank goodness it’s February! 😅💕😍💋

❄️ ⛅️ Winter (Solstice) is coming, and it’s the PERFECT topic to teach! You know I LOVE a good paired text selection, and I selected three different picture books that present the information in very different ways — realistic fiction, informational, and through verse — and added in an informational text passage and video. ✨ It became the perfect lesson on compiling information from multiple sources! This anchor chart is an easy way to gather the info in one place before synthesizing it!
