Text of the page (random words):
ddle of the sheet of paper was today though i found an easy way and i want to share it with you in case you do this too disclaimer i have a mac but i use office i m guessing that office has the same features regardless of computer but i don t know for sure so if it doesn t work on a windows computer i am sorry first go to file and page setup you should get to a screen that looks like this choose 5 5x8 5 for your paper size and landscape for your orientation this will give you a perfect half sheet to type your stories on then type type type away save your stories as a pdf and open the pdf in preview go to print them where it says preview change it to layout and then choose 2 pages per sheet print the stories and cut them on your school paper cutter at the 5 5 mark staple them and make an adorable little book we re all looking forward to celebrating our author status tomorrow let me know if this is any help to you or if anything is unclear posted by jill at 9 35 am 27 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels mac publishing writing writing workshop thursday april 4 2013 fluency assessments hi friends quick question for you but first a bit of background at my school i m not required to do any assessments of any kind at the first second grade level we have standardized itbs tests that start in third grade but that s it i don t have any expectations to assess my students and i don t have any resources with which to assess them i ve mentioned before that i use a 100 unleveled reading program every first grader reads the same story at the same time regardless of ability or interest level so i have a rough idea of reading levels in my classroom but nothing documented however i want to assess i want to assess my students on their rates of fluency to start with i do have one question for you though do you assess rates of fluency at the students actual instructional reading level or at their grade level i ve heard it both ways so i m just wondering posted by jill at 10 54 am 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday january 6 2013 back to school tomorrow well tomorrow is our first day back from break as much as i loved the time off and it does feel like it flew by i am pretty excited to see my kiddos tomorrow here s why we are going to be starting a new unit in writing how to books i am so excited to get them started with nonfiction writing i think they are going to be amazing we re also relaunching daily five i never got to word work or listen to reading at the beginning of the year and i think we need a refresher on everything while i was on break i mostly chilled and spent time with family and friends but just tonight i returned from a super fun weekend in new york visiting a friend that was the view from my friend s apartment s sun terrace so awesome i love the city i know you probably are not super excited about school starting tomorrow but what is pumping you up for a new semester posted by jill at 10 20 pm 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday december 9 2012 12 in 12 yay i loved this linky party last year also i just today posted for the first time since november 2 and here i go again how exciting here we go 12 favorite movie you watched hands down no question didn t even have to think about it bridesmaids i was lukewarm about seeing it because i didn t really know what it was about or if i d like it but my cousins sat me down and i am so happy they did i laughed so hard i almost peed myself so so so so so so so funny 11 favorite tv series i was just recently introduced to new girl and i looooooooove it i ve already watched the whole first season and i get so excited every tuesday for the new episode to come out everyone is so funny but i especially love schmidt 10 favorite restaurant i am a biiiiig sushi fan and this year i discovered a delicious sushi place i haven t been to the steakhouse part of it but the sushi part is amazing i recently went there on a date during which i ate tons of crazy sushi i usually stick with my california rolls haha so yum 9 favorite new thing you tried well i recently ended my relationship with my boyfriend of almost four years so i think i am going to say being single i have been spending lots of time with friends and going out a lot and having fun 8 favorite gift you received definitely my interactive whiteboard it has made my life a lot easier really i don t always use it interactively i use it a lot for building background knowledge for example we recently had some free time shockingly and i grabbed a book out of a basket randomly to read to them it ended up being when i was young in the mountains by cynthia rylant towards the end of the book the author mentions hearing a bobwhite calling in the trees none of us me included even knew what a bobwhite was so i quick googled a video of one and we got to really understand the story better i love you technology 7 favorite thing you pinned over the summer i saw kristen s post on her chair book pockets and pinned it immediately i actually got these donated to my classroom all i had to do was write a letter to home depot explaining how i d use them my kids love them and the parents love them even more 6 favorite blog post during election season everyone was talking about the candidates including my students which i documented in wait who is running for president again this post had no educational value but it made my day times 100 and i m laughing now reading it again 5 favorite accomplishment on wednesday i finished my esl endorsement that is unless i bombed the final project haha that is super exciting for me because i feel like i am a better teacher now and it opens up job opportunities for me in the future as much as i love my students and it would kill me to leave them i have to think about myself a little bit 4 favorite picture this is a picture of me and my cousins at the indiana dunes this summer they are my besties i love this picture because we all look super happy and it was a really fun day this picture also makes me laugh because you can see that i am wearing my swimsuit but it was way too cold to actually swim or wear it without the rest of my clothes on top i hope we can return there when it s warm 3 favorite memory hmmmm election night i was pleased with the results 2 goal for 2013 school goal keep working on making my teaching more exciting personal goal spend less time in my apartment and more time out in the world i feel like i am doing a lot better job of teaching than last year my students are really getting it this year and i feel good about that when i have dynamite lessons though they all have one thing in common i strayed from whatever the manual told me to do and did my thing i need to do that more often everyone has more fun and learns more i think this will help with my classroom management issues as well enough said about that as i previously said i have been spending a lot more time with my friends going out and having fun i want to keep that up for sure i spent a lot of college with my boyfriend at the time and i don t feel like i had a legit college experience i want to live it up while i am young 1 one little word this is tough i m going to choose flow i want to go with the flow i want to live in the moment and appreciate everything that is coming to me i want to sail through this part of my life and not stress in school i want to roll with the punches whether that means that an angry parent is screaming at me during a classroom party not that that happened this year or anything or one of my first graders doesn t know any of her numbers i want to go with it do my thing and make it work thanks hadar and kristin for hosting again posted by jill at 9 27 pm 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest i love you writer s workshop do you use writer s workshop in your classroom we do not have a schoolwide writing plan each teacher does whatever they want we have a writing program but no one cares if we use it last year i used the program we have but it was very dry and no one enjoyed writing over the summer i took a class for my esl endorsement called reading in a new language and for my final project i had to research something i wanted to improve about my literacy instruction so i chose writing and did research on writer s workshop then i decided to do it this year i don t have anyone mentoring me no one in my school has ever done writer s workshop so i am on my own but doing my best i use the lessons from portland public schools thanks portland anyway that whole backstory was to tell you that writing is really different this year for us i think we are doing really well compared to last year at this time and everyone seems to really enjoy it i still have some boys who are spending all of their writing time drawing pictures but for the most part we are good in our first grade reading curriculum they occasionally have writing activities for us maybe once every 2 units or something this past unit the first graders had a prompt when i am a princess knight giant i would they got to pick which character i was so happy to see what they came up with on their own when i am a knight i will save the princess i will marry the princess i will dance with the princess i will love her aw and this was one of my little ladies who took an unconventional route and did not choose to be the princess maybe she is trying to send a message to the boys in our class haha when i am a knight i will help people and save people it will be fun so much i m really impressed that he spelled save correctly because we haven t learned silent e yet that starts tomorrow hope you re having a good weekend and getting excited for this upcoming week posted by jill at 12 04 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x

pandora easy listening station i play it primarily during writer s workshop time and the kids basically refuse to write until i put the music on i should also say that i play a lot of ron brown s
