Book Talk Tuesday

September 24, 2014 by Amber Masters

Hi there!

Is it really only Tuesday? Oh dear. I’m exhausted. My two classes are worlds apart this year which is resulting in just a tiny bit of stress 🙂 They really are a bunch of sweeties though and I am so grateful to be their teacher! Today, I am linking up with Deanna Jump at Mrs. Jump’s class for Book Talk Tuesday Linky!

http://mrsjumpsclass.blogspot.com/2014/09/book-talk-tuesday-books-about-apples.html

This week we have been talking about bullies. Awhile back I shared about the story Llama Llama and the Bully Goat. I love this story and you can read about it here. The story I am sharing with you today is Howard B. Wigglebottom Learns About Bullies.

Howard B. Wigglebottom Author Howard Binkow
 
Howard is bullied by the Snorton Twins. He tries different strategies like ignoring, avoiding, and making jokes to solve the problem, but non of them seem to work. Finally, Howard gets the courage to tell the teacher.  She makes Howard feel safe and the stops the bullying!
This book along with Llama Llama and the Bully Goat, have been awesome, age-appropriate books to explore the topic of bullying with my little ones. They can relate to the stories so well since they both take place at school. We are currently talking about ways to keep bullies out of our classroom. We’ve also decided to use the saying, “Be Brave, Be Bold, A Teacher Must Be Told!“
Also, there is an interactive version online! You can find that here!
Have a fabulous week! 🙂

Students return to learning tomorrow and while we Students return to learning tomorrow and while we will have some time during our Class Meetings to share about Winter Break, I wanted to make sure students had the opportunity to share more. I put this optional slide after our class meeting as a continuation for students who didn’t share, or students that want to tell more. I love using @flipgrid because it allows students to make connections and respond back to their classmates like they would if they were in the classroom! #kindergarten

We’re still “Gingerbread-ing” over here! We We’re still “Gingerbread-ing” over here! We spend a solid two weeks reading different versions of the stories and integrating it into everything! This word problem came from one of my old teammates, and is perfect for this time of year! Students love coming up with different ideas of who could be chasing her! You could change it up with a higher number or have students write the number sentence to match.
At the start of the school year I was concerned ab At the start of the school year I was concerned about being able to build relationships with my students, and their ability to build friendships online. Those first few months are so crucial in building classroom community, and I wasn’t sure we’d be able to do that on a screen. 

Well, here we are in December. It’s pretty amazing what my students have created in the past 5 months. They truly have made the best of this situation (and they’re 5 & 6 ). I am so proud of them, and they are truly the ones that keep me going during this challenging year. 

I’m curious, what has surprised you about online learning this year? Or teaching in general?
Here’s a fun, low prep way to get your students Here’s a fun, low prep way to get your students excited about writing! I sent home a gingerbread journal since my students are remote,  but you could just use blank paper. Students will draw and write about where the gingerbread man is. For example, they might draw a picture and write “The gingerbread is behind my teacher” or “The gingerbread is under the trash can.” In the past, I hid him around the classroom and we did the same type of writing. This year, I’ll share the picture in our daily google slides instead.
