Plan with Me (Week of Aug 31-Sept 4) Visual Plans

Classroom· Uncategorized

Aren’t lazy Sundays the best? I’ve done absolutely nothing today except reading and write this blog post. Sometimes a little break is exactly what you need!
This week we are diving into our second vocabulary cycle, starting our second comprehension skill of story elements and learning about the 4 types of sentences! It’s gonna be a fun week!

I’ve left Thursday somewhat open because we might need it to review the LA skill. If the kids do well with it on Wednesday, then we will move onto a close reading mini lesson. If you want to know more about how I teach close reading, let me know and I’ll do a post on it! 🙂 
Resources used:
4 Types of Sentences Strategic Teaching Lesson ( I absolutely LOVE these lessons!!!)
Teaching Story Elements
B.O.Y. Language Arts Review
Comp Files (Aug/Sept)
Close Reading Toolkits (FREE!)
Frindle Novel Guide
4 Types of Sentences QR Codes (This is the alternate plan for Thursday if I see that the kids need additional help with this skill. I’ll also use these whole group task cards for my strugglers. I remembered these two resources after I made the visual plans so I forgot to include them!)
Reading Response Letters
Hope y’all have a happy week!

    Hi, I notice in your planner, you have Reading Street resources listed, but on the visual plans, you have that you're reading Frindle. Can you explain how you mesh the two? We are required to use reading street, but my district is also pushing independent reading/book studies…and I'm at a loss…

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!
This WILL BE the year I *finally* read Elin Hilder This WILL BE the year I *finally* read Elin Hilderbrand’s holiday series. This has been on my list for years and year! Have y’all read it?? #holidayreading #elinhilderbrand #winterstreet #christmasbooks #booksbooksbooks
Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
