I decided they were under-utilized, so I decided to play around a bit to see how I could make them work for us. I basically type out the words, laminate them, and cut them apart. I have the kids tell me where to put all of the words to group them, and we talk about why each word belongs in its respective category. They create a web at their desks too.

How do you come up with what to do for the concept webs. This is something I want to try in my class too!<br /><br />Thank you,<br />JessieJessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448125701483788708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557592942256975114.post-85671936499962041912013-03-03T16:25:17.498-05:002013-03-03T16:25:17.498-05:00I love the landforms books!

I was confused at first because she's referred to so often as "Trudy," so at first I thought you were writing about someone else! If you ever want another text for the kids to check out, just Google "America's Best Girl MCAS" and it should pop up in results for you, free to print off! :) In terms of reading comprehension skills, it's great for higher level sequencing (it includes a flashback). amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15252920643013195783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557592942256975114.post-26655680528265206212013-03-02T13:41:01.226-05:002013-03-02T13:41:01.226-05:00You had a busy week!

I found the blog that had the exit slip poster- http://primarypractice.blogspot.com/2011/08/exit-slip-printables.html if that helps anyone. As far as formative assessment goes, I recently started using your Sticky Note Jot Spots, and they have been very helpful! We use your magic hat idea for vocabulary and grammar, and lots of grammar games too.
