Isn't this the truth? I always get a little sad when July starts because I know I only have a month of summer left. My husband said the perfect thing when he picked me up at the airport last night. He said not to be sad for the entire month of July, enjoy the pool and look forward to our cruise. I promised I wouldn't get sad until the evening of July 31.
I couldn't just pick one winner for the Bloglovin Giveaway, so I picked two. Congrats to Julie P. and Yashika! Be on the lookout for an email from me.
Today's one of my favorite linky parties.
As I mentioned last week, I divided my math and reading boards into subcategories. Right now for reading, I have boards for sight words, fluency, non fiction, cause and effect, and author study. My reading board has ideas for making connections, character traits, parts of a story and general guided reading.

This is an individualized reading log for class. The top portion tracks the students' progress on centers. The bottom part is where the students answer one comprehension question per day about the story of the week. It's a free download when you click through to the link.
Great form to plan your guided reading groups!
Love this prediction anchor chart!

This goes along with the book Rocket Learns to Read. It's a great way to introduce reading in the fall. Each student gets a puppy and practices reading with it throughout the year. Luckily my mom saved every single one of my pound puppies, so I have a good head start. I'd love to do this in the fall!
Write sight words on popsicle sticks and label a few with "Zap it!" Students pull the sticks out one by one and read the words. If they get "Zap it!" their sticks go back in the cup.

I used to do a daily message when I first started teaching, but got out of the habit. I hope to make this part of my daily routine for the next school year.
