One of the biggest focus in education right now (at least in my school district) is academic discussions. Having kids build upon their conversations with each other versus teacher to students discussions. Along comes Talk Moves that provide a guideline for students and teachers to keep the conversation going. It consist of: add-on, re-voice, restate, reasoning, wait time, and say more. It's not a 'new' thing, but it does give clear guidelines and reminders for teachers and students to use while having academic discussions and it makes us aware of what we are saying. I recreated the posters so it's student friendly with pictures to represent each Talk Move. I teach kindergarten and by the end of the year students are able to hold academic discussions with each other and use the posters to help them. You can have them <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Talk-Moves-Posters-2096281" target="_blank">here</a> or click on the picture below. It's been a long time, since I blogged, so if anyone is still reading my little blog, the first 3 people who comments with their email, I will send you the Talk Moves Posters. :)<br />

At the last minute (today at recess), my kinder group decided to change one of our songs to Let It Go from the movie Frozen. (if you can't beat them, join them). So while the teachers were trying to learn the song with the kids (who already knew it), we changed some of the lyrics so it would be more appropriate for our celebration. The lyrics in red was what was changed. Click on the picture below to download the kindergarten version of Let It Go.<br />

My class is having a ball participating in a Gingerbread Exchange with other kindergarten classes around the US (and Guam and Australia)! Each student created a gingerbread boy/girl (one kid made a pirate) along with a letter to be mailed to a student in another state. They then receive one from them. When we get the letter we map it on our display (so far we have 12/25 gingerbread kids). The students are learning where some states are (albeit I must make it relate to them: i.e. Florida has Disneyworld, New York is where the penguins from Madagascar the movie is, Idaho is where Mr. Potato Head is from in Toy Story, and their favorite is Texas...where Sandy the Squirrel from Spongebob is from). They don't understand how far their mail has traveled, but they are simply thrilled to receive letters! This is my first year participating and I plan on making it a permanent tradition. If you've never done this, I highly recommend it for next year!<br />

Target currently has these on sale for $6.00, each box contains 48 snacks. So what did I do? I called my kinder partner asking her if she wanted to join me in some Halloween Math Fun..of course she said yes! (Then I texted my other 6 kinder teachers to ask if they wanted to join in on the fun..so off to Target to buy 3 more boxes)! I quickly threw these 2 worksheets together. You can get them <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Market-Pantry-Spooky-Snack-Graphing-Activity-951118" target="_blank">here</a> or click on the picture below. If you download, I would appreciate feedback/comments or if you can follow my blog..it's nice knowing Im not 'typing' to myself.<br />

My school decided to have a Halloween Alcove contest. Each teacher or team was to create anything they wanted around the theme of Halloween using project-based learning techniques. My room partner and I chose Halloween Science and the kids had a BLAST! We made slimy glow worms and atomic slime! We investigated the properties of dry ice and created apple soda with dry ice. (Winning class gets a pizza party and the teacher gets $30 to any place I want..opps, I mean the winning teacher wants. :) I'll post ideas from the other classes too, my school has amazing creative (competitive teachers)!</div>

Tomorrow Breakfast in the Classroom is starting at my school. The kindergarten students (all 28 of them - yup, got another new one today), will be eating breakfast in the classroom. I will prepare by wearing jeans and tennis shoes and bringing lots of paper towels for spilled milk. This is what the once cleared hallway now looks like (scared to smell the hallway tomorrow): That first big trash container is right in front of my room.

<br />
The district Im in decided to reorganize ALL the students according to their EL Level (English Language) due to some law suit(which I don't know much about - but has a profound affect for ALL the students in my district). I get how it may help students who are in the upper grades learning Science or English and needs to be leveled, but it just seems like another form of tracking. My classroom is filled with lovely students who knows the routine, who knows me, who knows what to do during centers, and most of all who knows each other. Then after 2 WHOLE MONTHS of school....I must say goodbye to a few of my favorite students (they make me laugh and smile). I rather keep my full class of 26, then lose my EO (English only) students. My other students speak English too, but their parents wrote that they speak another language at home and so had to take a test in Kindergarten to determine their English proficiency level (which by the way, is hard for ANY child-regardless of language) in Kinder. It just feels discriminatory. I like a mix level classes where other students serve as models for each other or the simple diversity in a classroom.<br />
<br />
On another note: three years ago, I was bumped to Kindergarten from fifth grade, so that was a major adjustment. The 2nd year I was in kindergarten, I changed schools and came in October (2 months later), and had 1 day to set up my classroom. Then a few weeks later I moved into another classroom with my students (I had no time to set that class up). I thought my 3rd year in Kindergarten would be a normal one. I WAS WRONG! This is my 3rd year in Kindergarten and I started out with 30 students (eventually another classroom opened up and I lost 4 student), ending up with a nice 26 students. I truly like them and love being their teacher, now Im losing students and will probably end up with other students that I don't know in my class. I feel awful for the ones leaving. I know they're resilient, but I selfishly wanted to be their teacher.<br />

I came back into my cleaned classroom....aaahh! I love it when I get to set up. The floors were sparkling and it smelled fresh. Then I saw the line of ants leading to the dead roaches, after I cleaned that up..it was back to the fresh and clean classroom. I'm pretty blessed to have a large classroom with student bathrooms and plenty of storage. I manage to rearrange some furniture and I decided to get rid of my teacher table. Ill post more of my classroom when I finish the set up. The video above is the before. For most of the day, I manage to simply sit and stare at tables, pondering where they should go. I wish I was able to visualize my classroom and it's set up, but instead I would physically move the giant kidney table (YES ALL BY MYSELF - have bruises to show for it), just to see what it would look like if I place it there or there, no wait..maybe there...Ms.Trinhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03234000219060352273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227698043077245220.post-63944428784126100942013-08-05T19:42:00.000-07:002013-08-05T19:42:01.922-07:00How I Line Up my Kinders + FREEBIEOkay, once again, I've been a bad blogger, but to make it up for you I've place a new Freebie on TPT (for a limited time).<br />
<br />
I've always assign my students a number based on my class roster. My students are required to line up alphabetically for lunch, and lets face it...it's a nightmare for the first few weeks in Kindergarten. To curb this problem, I created Ten Frame Number Cards, laminated and taped them to the floor. Each student also has a name tag with their name and corresponding number. They learn that that is their spot and there ins't any arguments for who is first. (I'll take pictures later.) It's also great for emergencies if students must immediately evacuate the classroom without chaos. We practice getting into our line spots the fastest and safest way before leaving the classroom. Within a few weeks, most of my students are able to tell me all of their friends numbers and place them in order. This year, I decided to make them into ten frames based on suggestions from colleagues. They will be listed as<b> FREE</b> on TPT for a week (until August 9). I'd appreciate it if you follow my TPT or blog and leave any feedback. Click on the picture below to be sent TPT. <br />

FINALLY! Something that makes my kids look at what they are reading! I don't know about you, but my students are experts at fake reading...you know, they memorize the words and 'read.' When I tell them to point as they read, they (okay half of them) randomly point to words with a smirk on their cute little faces. My personal favorite is when they are 'reading' the words from their decodables, but their eyeballs are glued on me (side note: I started to tape sight words on my clothes; I figured if they're going to stare at me while they read, they might as well see real words written on me).<br />

<br />
Back to the LED car rings! I LOVE THEM and so do my students! They were excited to use the 'highlighters' to highlight the words as they read (I told them they were just like Wyatt, from SuperWhy who uses a highlighter to read words). They actually even placed the car rings on the pointer finger (and not the middle finger - that some of darlings not knowingly use - gotta love kindergarten!) I dim the lights so the ring lights are focused on their words. They were able to read for 7 minutes all by themselves AND (get this), they actually pulled out their reading box to read some more! The ring lights are super cheap too (you can get a set of 20 for less them 10 bucks).<br />

As I was doing my usual blog <strike>stalking</strike> reading, I came across 26 Acts of Kindness in honor of the 26 lives lost at Sandy Hook Elementary. I thought it was an excellent idea and a great way to honor those who are no longer with us. I'm making an extra effort to volunteer more hours at my local Animal Shelter in honor of Charlotte Bacon who loved animals. You can read about other acts of kindness <a href="https://www.facebook.com/26acts" target="_blank">here</a> (Facebook.com/26acts). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was moved by all the different kinds of random acts of kindness. I wanted to create tags to give out with my random acts of kindness, so I created mini bio-tags with the pictures of each Sandy Hook Elementary victims that I was honoring. My hope is that the next person will be moved by the random act and to continue to pay it forward. If you would like a copy, please let me know, if I get many requests, then I'll post it up (I feel a bit strange posting their tags up, even though it is a way of honoring their precious memories). </div>

It's time to get serious with Common Core and the <a href="http://corecommonstandards.com/core-curriculum/kindergarten-common-core-workbook/" target="_blank">Kindergarten Common Core</a> Book is an amazing resource to have. It has over 600 pages packed with ready-made activities and centers. The graphics are adorable (most of which are from ScrappinDoodles - love them). The book is divided into Math and English Language Arts and each activity has the Common Core standards on them (so when someone comes into your room asking what you're doing...you can tell them exactly what Common Core Standard you're addressing). I have the Common Core State Standards for First Grade Book and I love it! It's teacher-friendly and gets straight to the point (no theory and love winded-conversation over nothing), this book is all about how to help students meet the Common Core Standards. It's $40.00 and well worth every penny.Ms.Trinhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03234000219060352273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227698043077245220.post-26799148794100834732012-09-06T21:47:00.000-07:002012-09-06T21:47:28.787-07:00Kinder Writing Tool<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I blogged about this before, but I thought I would review one of my favorite writing tools: THE SPACEBOY/GIRL! Why spend money on Spacers, when you can make them for $0.99! WHAT?!?! That's right, I bought a bag of clothes pin from the 99 Cent store and the students had fun decorating their Spacers. Since they made their own, they love to use it to create spaces between words and as reading pointers.<br />
<br />
Here is how I introduced the Spacers:<br />
1. I chose one student's name and use magnets to demonstrate that letters are only letters, until they are 'pushed' together to create a meaningful word.<br />
<br />
2. Then I would create a simple sentence with the student's name: I see Johhny. While I am writing the sentence, I use Mr. Spaceman (my giant spacer - made from a paint stir stick - FREE), to separate the words.<br />
<br />
3. We count the words in the sentence (there's 3) and read the sentence with Mr. Spaceman pointing to each word.<br />
<br />
4. I would then rewrite the sentence, but this time, I smushed all the letters together: IseeJohnny. We compare which sentence is easier to read and the students would come up with the reasons (i.e. the words are too close, can't tell where a word begins, hard to read etc). Sometimes, I would purposely put two students' names together and someone would always raise their hand and state that "That's not how I write their name." Then Mr. Spaceman comes to the rescue!Ms.Trinhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03234000219060352273noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1227698043077245220.post-90684867644821378882012-08-26T18:23:00.000-07:002012-08-26T18:23:08.579-07:00Target Giveaway for 1 year Blogiversary! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

If you ever had to read an IEP (Individual Education Plan), you know it can be hard to keep track of services or important information. I was (okay AM) having a hard time keeping track of my students IEP services, so in order to clear my head and for anyone else coming into my classroom (i.e. substitute teacher), I created an IEP at a Glance. It basically outlines the immediate information that I or a substitute teacher needs to know. Click on the picture to download. I hope you find it useful, if you have any suggestions, I would appreciate it. Happy teachings!<br />

Remember the good old times, when people drove their cars to watch a movie out in a large lot? To celebrate the end of the year with the Kindergartens (along with other students who completed the Math Challenges), the students were invited to a Drive-In Movie Experience. They decorated their own boxes and some were pretty darn cool, some cool cars had working headlights, car seats, seat belts, and car doors; it was a great way to bring families together for a student project. The students loved watching the movie (Phantom Tollbooth - which also had a boxcar and deals with math and words) and enjoyed popcorn and juice. The best part was that each student had their own space and the popcorn was contain inside their cars.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>I highly recommend you have your own drive-in experience!</b></div>

Hi, Im a teacher..and I may be what some people call "a teacher hoarder." I can't help it! I went in to buy travel sized bottles and came out with 3 bags full of teaching supplies. I made a point of walking with my eyes focused straight ahead (knowing that the Dollar Section is the first thing I would see), but out of the corner of my eye...I SAW IT! DR. SEUSS is back!!! and just my luck, they also had containers galore! I quickly grabbed a <strike>basket</strike> cart, to stock up for Read Across America for March 2013. </div>

One of my parents surprised me with the CUTEST flowers ever! She knows how much I love animals, so when I saw this dog bouquet, I nearly flipped! How cute is this?! Of course, I wanted to look to see how it was made so I can recreate this gift for others.<br />
<br />
Looks pretty easy:<br />
1. Cut flowers into different lengths (longer for tail and head, medium for body, and short for legs).<br />
2. Place them strategically into foam (which is hidden by a basket, some sticks should and can be placed at angles) to create the dog.<br />
3. Cover flower stems with leaves.<br />
4. Glue goggle eyes, pom pom nose, bent pipe cleaner for mouth/tongue, and for a girlie dog little gems in the ears!<br />
5. Optional: Place candy or other goodies around the dog.Ms.Trinhhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03234000219060352273noreply@blogger.com5
