Teaching 5th-8th: End of Summer Blues....

I think I have the end of summer blues...haven't felt like doing much of anything this past week...I don't think the rain helped. I am thankful for the rain and mild temps, but I really want it to be HOT and sunny so I can spend my last days on the river!!!

Last night I decided to get out of my funk and I did make a resource for my room. We will be writing all new curriculum this year for common core. SOOOOO....I made a resource for my 5th grade standards. I will be doing the same for 6, 7, and 8 as well. In this packet I have all the ELA standards. They are separated by categories. There is a cover page for each category that has all the standards under that category listed. Then each standard has its own page where you can list lesson plans and resources used to teach that standard. I plan to slip hard copies of each resource behind those sheets.

I am excited to use these and hope I keep up with it! :) I found free checklists that I am going to put in my binders too. I believe I found them all on TPT as well. They have spaces to write the dates that you teach each standard.

So, if you are interested you can check out my new product. I didn't mean for this to be a shameless plug for it, but I am excited to use it and hope it can be helpful to a lot of my followers. Stay tuned for 6th, 7th, and 8th grade...maybe I can finish them before Monday Made It?!
