I am linking up with The Teaching Tribune's 'Two for Tuesday' linky.

It's the FINAL Two for Tuesday, so let's make it a great one.  

Since it's the last one of the summer I plan to offer the discount for the week!!!

I'm offering my best selling product ~ Elapsed Time Unit  for 50% off! 

 It includes a personal anchor chart designed for students,

a study guide with answer key, a test with answer key and a sheet with differentiation tips.  

 The 2nd product offered a 50% off is my Guided Reading Templates.

 

I have 12 different templates designed for groups of 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, or 6 students.  Each template is offered in a fiction and non-fiction format.

Additionally, the templates contain student goal cards that students can use as book marks.  This is where they write down their guided reading level, their specific READING GOALS, as well as their current goal and end of year goal.

This allows students to take responsibility for their learning and offers a great reminder of their goals that they can look at each time they sit down to read causing their reading to be much more purposeful.

I'd love to hear your ideas on guided reading lesson plan templates and getting kids excited to meet their goals.

BONUS FREEBIE~ This week only!

Two for Tuesdays and July's Currently

I'm joining The Teaching Tribune for Two for Tuesday!  I'm placing two of my most frequently pinned products on sale for 50% off.  

1.  Multiplication and Division Strategies of All Learners!  

Last year I was a fourth grade special education teacher who co-taught in an inclusion classroom.  We had kids with learning disabilities, autism, TBI, etc.  Needless to say it was quite a challenge to teach long division and multi-digit multiplication.  So, I came up with this and it really helped.....everyone 

in the class, not just the special ed. kids.  

We taught a variety of ways to try and reach ALL our kids and it worked!  Kids who had been struggling were finally getting it! 😊  

We made an anchor chart for the room and made copies of the personal anchor charts for the kids to keep in their binders.  The examples and explanations were helpful for parents too as they supervised homework.

Then we gave the kids practice problems to work on through the week.  I included an answer key so we could show the kids how to work through the problems. I hope you find this as helpful for you as it was for us!

2.   Lesson plan template to use with Scholastic Read 180 or System 44

This one is for all you special education teachers that

 teach Read 180 and/or System 44.   

I've never done a "Currently" but thought I'd give it a whirl! 

Thanks to Lucky to be in First for the July template!

So here it goes....

Right now I'm reading and enjoying Donalyn Miller's The Book Whisperer.  

I find myself rethinking how I want to design my class library next year.  

Thoughts anyone???

 If anyone has any great reading recommendations, I'd love to hear them.  

Just post your ideas in the comments section.
