Reading strategy bookmarks

So, this is something I made when I taught third grade.  I used these reading strategy cards as bookmarks.   Each student was assigned a job for the week in their reading group. I printed out a few copies of these so I would have plenty to use for all my kiddos.  They loved having a job and they knew what to work on while they were reading.  These are best if you do a literature circle then students talk about what they found in the group the next day.  Click on the picture to grab these bookmarks for your classroom! Enjoy! :)

Tens Frame Posters & Calendar Chart

I just added these fun and very educational tens frame posters to my TPT store!  These can be used to post for students to refer to when counting or they can be cut in half (where you seperate the number from the tens frame) and used as flashcards or as a matching game!  Click the picture to get to my store!

Bravo Board!

This is used for giving students points when their team (or table) makes good choices. I made different colored stars for my colored tables. I cut these out and taped them on a clipboard sized whiteboard where I can give points with a dry erase marker and carry it around the room with me.

This is what it looks like:
