Owl About Data

        So after working this summer on our monster data binder- I had a little inspiration to start creating themed binders. I started the most adorable circus and am still working on that when I have a free moment to concentrate- but my partner in crime was really motivated to get an Owl themed binder created to go with some of her other owl stuff- and after a few late nights and a lot of laughs- it is finished! AND WE LOVE IT!

So here is a sneak preview of it! The same pages are included in this set as the monster-but they are edited to better fit the theme! Again this is a set for kindergarten, first, or second grade students.

I can't wait to post some pics of our monster binder in action- the kids are working hard on theirs- and with a little patience at the beginning the students have really taken ownership and pride in them.

Mallory has already had her first student led- "Celebration Conference" using the data binder and mine are scheduled for this week- fingers crossed they go just as well.

Here are the items you can find in the Owl Binder- we did add a student reflection page!
The first person to comment will get the whole set for free- we would love to see some feedback!

The first ten to "pin" our binder preview on pinterest and comment back with their email will recieve the reflection page as a freebie and one of them will also be randomly selected to recieve the whole set.

Happy Pinning! Hope this helps someone as much as it has helped us this year!

Monster Madness and a FREEBIE

Ok- Ok... It has been FOREVER since I have posted on here- let me start with an apology. So much has happened and I had great intentions of coming to share with you and apparently no follow through. Sorry- Don't worry I put a freebie below :)

Since my last post I have started my classroom make-over and it is MONSTER MADNESS in there. Emphasis on the MADNESS more than the monster :) I have started slowly changing over my room to show the theme and really love the changes so far.

Last year I was re-united with my KTIP kid. People kept asking me about my daughter whenever we did things together and let me tell you it really pissed me off (made me mad.) But even though she looks like a kid she is NOT THAT YOUNG... but, of course,  younger than me.

Mallory (my KTIP kid) and I had a great first year teaching first grade together. We did some team teaching, switched kiddos for our enrichment block, and really took collaborating to a new level. We LOVE working together and couldn't make it through some days without each other.

So back to that MADNESS I mentioned earlier. Mallory and I have been scouring TPT for new ideas, plans, and inspiration for our classrooms. After searching through all the amazing things we found we decided to unite forces and create some of our own to post...monster themed for me of course. We are currently working on a creating a kid friendly Primary Data Binder Set and are preparing to post this weekend-YIKES. I don't think Mallory's ocean themed classroom is getting a great deal out of this- but good for me for talking her into all her help! It's great to be a mentor!

Ok- so on that subject, Mallory has all intentions of creating an Ocean set along with the Monster set and I have been playing around with some super cute Circus clip art- but wanted to ask you... What would be the next best set to create? If you can comment on some themes you would like to see it would really help us out! THANKS

Now for you... Here is a sample of our Monster Data Binder Set for primary students.

So far it contains: 
  • Binder Cover
  • ABC Letter Recognition and Sounds
  • Colors
  • Numbers (differentiated pages)
  • Dolch Sight Words 1-11
  • Shapes
  • Phonics (differentiated page)
  • Math CCSS K-2
  • Number of Sight Words
  • Behavior
  • Goal Setting
  • Homework
MORE TO COME!!!
 
Here is your freebie as earlier promised :)
 
 
 
 
Hope You Are All Off To A Great Start To A New School Year!
