Things I'm Loving

One of my classroom expectations is that my students need to track the words with their finger as they read. To make this task less "painful" for my students I bought these monster fingers at a Halloween store this year. I love them and my students got a new boost to track as they read. LOVE IT. 

Another thing I am loving this year is Daily 5 /CAFE. This is my 2nd year implementing this method and structure for ELA. It has been a way for me to differentiate my instruction without creating 5 different lesson plans. I have stumbled upon some helpful websites and blogs... LOVE IT!
