The Word Jar: Vocabulary Enrichment
Make vocabulary instruction meaningful and FUN!
Over the years, my implementation of the Word Jar has evolved a little bit, but one thing remains the same. Every single word is kid-generated. Every. Single. Word. After all... I direct enough of our word study. I want my kids to constantly be on the look-out for WOW words as we interact with various texts together and as they navigate stories during independent reading. I want them to pay attention to descriptive language and nuances. I

Typically, a menu will include a main course which students are required to complete in its entirety; “side dishes,” from which students must select a designated number of options and “desserts.” which are

Literature Club Response Log Cover
This is designed to create a tall/skinny response log using folded white-lined filler paper. I have the students write 1 "page" (which is really just a half page) each week, dividing their books into fourths, so that a novel takes 4 weeks to complete. Each piece of filler paper is enough for one novel. I aim high and put 6 - 8 pieces of filler paper in, hoping to get through that many books in Literature Clubs each year.
I fold the paper vertically, copy the covers, and staple the edges.

Reader Writer-Advanced
With Reader Writer the students began to link their language to literacy, which connects conceptual sketches to concrete structures. This connection guided students across the literary bridge and their route to reading intensified in expression and efficiency. So, I updated the PowerPoint frequently to appropriately challenge the confidence of beginning readers. The updates eventually led the students from drawing to writing, manipulating, and conceptually constructing common CVC words, blends,
