1,000 hits!

Woohoo, friends!

I've made it to 1,000 hits! I'm so glad people are out there looking at the things I've made and hopefully using them in their classrooms, too! I haven't been able to use them in my classroom yet - our printers have been down all this week and my ink is out at home! I've had Smartboard training from 4:45 - 7:45 yeseterday and today so going to Target to get more ink is not at the top of my list!

I'm super excited to get a Smartboard in my classroom - my kids are going to be SO pumped about it, and of course it will be WONDERful for small group lessons (yes, whole group, too!) and stations! I just hope it gets installed soon - there's a piece of paper saying "install here" hanging up on my wall.....the suspense is killing me! 

Ok, just thought I'd share some of the anchor charts I have in my classroom. I use anchor charts for EVERYthing. And my kids can tell you EXACTLY what Expository text is because of it (high five!) We all make it together when I first introduced the topic - on the word families I have them help me write the words, underline the ending part. I have more, just only those two up right now because my walls would be plastered with them if I put every one we did up!

Here are a few pictures:
