Good Morning! We hope everyone had a wonderfully relaxing holiday with family and friends. We sure did. It was a well needed break, and now we are reenergized for December. Since our students were not in class last week we don't have lessons and student work to share with you, but we do have some articles, activities, and websites you can visit. Each one has activities and ideas you can implement into your classroom immediately if you so desire. Some of these resources have been shared with us and some Kim found over the holiday break.
The first two resources help students solidify their understanding of nouns. The interactive website exposes students to a plethora of information, and the possessive noun activity is what we are using as our morning warm-up Monday.
Naming Nouns Interactive Website
Free Possessive Noun Activity
The next article is from Aims Education and we will be using the ideas in it as soon as we introduce double digit subtraction. We love all things Aims. Every single one of the activities that we have used has really helped our students begin to internalize concepts in both math and science. Be sure to go to the activity links because those are the lessons that you can use in math.
Making Double Digit Subtraction Memorable
The last two resources have to do with the Common Core State Standards. The article is a very simple explanation of what the Common Core entails. It may be a good resource for parents. They may begin to understand why the expectations of their children are higher than ever before. The CCSS website is an excellent resource that our tech coach shared with our staff. It has myriad educational videos and games for students to engage in. Kim found one resource on the compare and contrast skill that she is going to use as a Daily 5 assignment. The students must listen to two stories and compare and contrast them. It seems highly engaging...she will let you know if it was after she tries the assignment with her students.

We hope these resources are useful and inspiring. Have a great weekend and an even better Monday!
Kim and Anne
