Happy Labor Day

9/2/2013

Happy Labor Day everyone. A lot has been happening this last week so here is a quick update.

My 3rd grade pirate word ladders are now available on Amazon. So if you want them and don't want to print all of them out yourself you can now get them in a print edition instead of a digital edition.

The second grade word ladders aren't available on Amazon yet but they are available at the createspace store.

My picture book b and d are buddies is now also available in a print edition. Starting this Saturday the digital edition is going to have a free promotion for 5 days.

There are two new text sets on my new website the text set library.
Alphabet Text set
Halloween Text set

If you would like to include your text set in the library and get a link back to your site, you can go to the submit your text set page.

I'm so excited to announce my new site. Textsetlibrary.com. This is going to be a website where teachers can browse for and search for books focused around a specific topic or theme. Teachers can also share their text sets on this site.

If you are a fellow teaching blogger if you submit your text set to the library you can also upload a button to your blog and will get a new dofollow link.

Each text set that you submit must have at least 3 books in the set. You must also leave a comment about the text set that you are submitting.

To go and submit your text sets go to the Submit page.

Prefix Tree

This is a great idea that I found on theDandelions and Dragonflies blog. She has a template for the trunk that you can download and use. The idea is pretty simple, each trunk has either a root, suffix, or prefix on it and the leaves are all the words that you can make with those roots/affixes.

Virtual Field Trip

4/4/2012

Field trips are great ways to expand students background knowledge around a topic as well as their vocabulary but we don't always have enough time or resources to get students out of the classroom.

The great news is that with just a computer, a connection to the internet, and a projector you can take your students on virtual field trips.

If you have checked it out yet there is a great new site that would be a great tool to planning a virtual field trip called MentorMob. I would highly recommend that you try it out. The site is still new so there are that many of what they call Playlists. (A collection of websites around a topic that you view in a certain order) I am linking to one about the causes of World War II so you can get an overview of what the site is like.

While browsing Pinterest today I came upon a great website where you can read picture books online for free. It has over 150 books to choose from and there are many great titles. Why don't you check it out?

Here are some other great sites for finding Picture Books online.

Oxford Owl is a great site. It has many free pictures books, and they will read to you. How great is that for your beginning reader.

Another great site for finding books for your kids online is the International Children's Digital Library. It is also a great place to visit for your bilingual kids because is offers books in a wide variety of languages.

There are also some great beginning sight word readers written by me. Hope you'll check them out. Sight word Readers
