Hey there!
I'm so happy to share a new product with you guys today!
I've had a picture of this product in my head for months
and could not wait to get the opportunity to sit down
and make my idea come to life.
Basically, I knew that I loved to use colorful sticky notes to teach
with and that my students also loved using them!
I was picturing printables to use to teach reading comprehension strategies.
I wanted my students to have a place to put the sticky notes,
and then not to be done with them, but extend the use of the strategy
a little more.
For example, I pictured my students writing a connection to the story
on a sticky note while reading {or after} and placing it in their book
until we were done reading.
Then, when we would be finished reading, they would have a printable
Then, when we would be finished reading, they would have a printable
to put their sticky note on, fill out some basic info {title, author}
and then draw a picture about their connection.
I wanted something practical, meaningful, and easy to use with
any story.
Here's what I came up with....
This product has been so much fun to use with my first graders
and is everything I hoped it would be!
I love that students get to take these home and share with their family, and the sticky
note makes sense to the parents since they know what they are writing about!
Here are a few of my examples that I made when modeling how to use the printables...
You can check out my Sticky Note Reading Strategies
pack in my TpT store here.
I think it would be perfect for 1st-3rd/4th!
AND, now on to my plans for the week...

The cute chick craft was made by Julie, my student teacher.
Isn't is cute?!?
She only has two more weeks left in my classroom and I'm
going to miss her so much!
If you'd like to use my visual plans template to start making your own,
this editable ppt file is included in my Teacher Planner for sale in my
TpT shop.
It also includes a printable version for the rest of this school year AND a complete
full printable planner for next year {2013-14}.
All the dates are already filled in for the printable planner and the
editable file has all the essentials and a weekly lesson plan template that you
can use to type your lesson plans, email them, or make visual plans.
You can grab the planner here!
I'm linking up with Deedee, you should too. :)
I'm basically in love with this Sticky note product (just like I am with your teacher planner! :) Thank you so much! Hope you're having a great weekend!

DeleteTeach Your Child to Read Today!
Reading is one of the most important skills one must master to succeed in life. It helps your child succeed in school, helps them build self-confidence, and helps to motivate your child. Being able to read will help your child learn more about the world, understand directions on signs and warnings on labels, allow them to discover reading as an entertainment, and help them gather information.
Learning to read is very different from learning to speak, and it does not happen all at once. There is a steady progression in the development of reading ability over time. The best time for children to start learning to read is at a young age - even before they enter pre-school. Once a child is able to speak, they can begin developing basic reading skills. Very young children have a natural curiosity to learn about everything. They are naturally intrigued by the printed texts they see, and are eager to learn about the sounds made by those letters. You will likely notice that your young child likes to look at books and thoroughly enjoys being read to. They will even pretend to behave like a reader by holding books and pretend to read them.
At what age can you start teaching a child to read? When they're babies? At 2 years old, 3, 4, or 5 years old, or wait until they're in school?
If you delay your child's reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk...
Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level! According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, of those 67%, 33% read at just the BASIC level, and 34% CANNOT even achieve reading abilities of the lowest basic level!
There is a super simple and extremely effective system that will even teach 2 and 3 year old children to read.
This is a unique reading program developed by two amazing parents and reading teachers, Jim and Elena, who successfully taught their four children to read before turning 3 years old. The reading system they developed is so effective that by the time their daughter was just 4 years 2 months old, she was already reading at a grade 3 level. They have videos to prove it.
>> Click here to watch the videos and learn more.
Their reading system is called Children Learning Reading, and it is nothing like the infomercials you see on TV, showing babies appearing to read, but who have only learned to memorize a few word shapes. This is a program that will teach your child to effectively decode and read phonetically. It will give your child a big head start, and allow you to teach your child to read and help your child develop reading skills years ahead of similar aged children.
This is not a quick fix solution where you put your child in front of the TV or computer for hours and hope that your child learns to "read"... somehow...
This is a reading program that requires you, the parent, to be involved. But the results are absolutely amazing. Thousands of parents have used the Children Learning Reading program to successfully teach their children to read.
All it takes is 10 to 15 minutes a day.

Your planner is amazing! I need to go wishlist that one right away! I love using my reading group pages with my 'fake' sticky note square graphics I found - the real ones are better and more fun for kids though! Cute stuff.
