Monday Made It

I am going to join my first Linky Party! This week I am linking up with 4^th Grade Frolics for Monday Made It. I have never done this before, so I hope that all goes well. Here we go…

I have seen so many cute anchor charts on Pinterest lately. Anchor charts are great learning tools, and I love using them during our reading mini-lessons. I made this Anchor chart last week for our lesson on connecting to the text.

It goes over text to self, text to text, and text to world connections. I was happy with the way it turned out, and I can’t wait to keep using it throughout the year!

I love using interactive notebooks with my third graders. I use them in so many subjects. This year I am in charge of creating science plans, and I finally finished my interactive science notebook on plants!

I can’t wait to use this with our next unit on plants!  You can check it out on my TeachersPayTeachers store. It includes interactive notebook pages on the following plant lessons:

-The parts of a plant

-The parts of a seed

-Life-cycles of flowering and nonflowering plants

-Plant habitats

-Plant adaptations

-How seeds travel

-How natural changes effect plants

-How humans effect plants

A rubric is also included for easy assessment!

Finally, I wanted to share an item not related to teaching. I am a first-time mother and was blest with a beauty baby girl that has a full head of hair. That being said, I have become a bit of a bow addict. Instead of spending tons of money on precious bows, I found a bunch of great tutorial videos on YouTube and have begun creating a plethora of bows on my own! The bows pictured below are just a few of my creations.
