Visual Plans 10/13–10/17

I’m a little late to the visual plans party this week. We had the day off of school today…..which means that I ran errands and did hours of school work in an effort to get caught up! We also have an incredibly short crazy week this week. We have two full days on Tuesday and Wednesday and then 10:00 dismissal on Thursday and Friday for Parent Teacher Conferences. Oh, and it’s spirit week with dress up days and the high school is celebrating their homecoming and is bringing their parade by our school on Friday morning! CRAZY!!!

Remember to download the plans to have clickable links to the products I will be using this week!

This week is going to be all about review in ELA. We will be using my new ELA Scoots to review spelling rules and compound sentences.

We started learning about determining the main idea and key details in a passage last week. I feel like they need more targeted practice with this skill before we go back dive back into longer text. So, this week we will be using one of my favorite resources.

I haven’t quite decided how I am going to be using them yet. I’m learning towards copying them on colored paper, making a recording sheet and using them as a scoot activity. My class is in LOVE with scoot!

I will only have time to teach math this week on Tuesday and Wednesday and can’t afford to fall behind on the pacing guide! I found this amazing Subtraction resource from Jessica at The Teacher Talk. Click on the link in my plans to go to her TpT store and check it out. I just know it is going to be worth every penny!

Unfortunately, science and social studies will be taking a hit this week as well with the short days. We will not have time for both so we will spend our content area time learning about the layers of the Earth and then eating them!!! This activity is a HUGE hit every year. Who doesn’t love combining learning with yummy snacks!
