Have you ever heard of the character Gooney Bird Greene?  Well, if you have not, you are missing out!  Picture a strong, independent, fun to be around storyteller...well, Gooney Bird Greene fits this description to a T!  Lois Lowry is a fantastic author who brings this humorous character to life in any classroom.  I have read this as a read aloud for the last couple of years and the kids are thirsty for more each and every time I pick up the book to read aloud.  You can order this book on Amazon via this link.  This first book is part of a series, but this book is by FAR the class favorite.  Enjoy reading!!

Elapsed Time!  Wow...is that a tricky one for kids (and sometimes adults, too)!  :)  Use these task cards to engage students in learning elapsed time while having fun whole class, in math centers, playing math games and much more.  Click on the link below to direct you to my TPT Store!  Enjoy!

Green Poems for St. Patrick's Day

Hello Friends!  Well, we all know that St. Patrick's Day is coming up, and I have a fun activity my kids LOVE!  Have your kids create GREEN POEMS!  Start with listing items that are almost always green and then describe these with fun adjectives!  Great for WORD CHOICE!  :)  It is also great for your kids to practice formatting text on Google Docs or another word processing application on your computers.  Here is an example!

Spring Acrostic Poems

Raise your hand if you want spring to come NOW!!!  Here is a spring acrostic I plan on doing after spring break with my class.  I always love seeing and hearing what kids come up with when they think of the different seasons.  I often have them close their eyes ahead of time and think about that season...they come up with so many great activities, sights and smells.  Hop over to my TPT store, Teaching with Smiles, to get this simple and useful acrostic poem template!
