=It can be hard to sift through the web to find resources for your classroom... here are some I have created or adapted!=

Accountable Talk
I love using accountable talk in my classroom. With pre-loading and lots of practice, my students have really connected with the sentence starters, and it allows us to engage in rich discussion where they are interacting positively with each other. I have a flipchart that I used on my promethean board to teach it, a poster up in my room, and then I use the desk set so the students also have the sentence starters right in from of them on their desks!



Book Studies
Here are some of my book studies, novel study guides, and unit packets. My students have learned to love to read because of these carefully chosen novels... they are some of my favorite children's books. All the unit packets have objectives aligned to 5th grade Colorado State Standards.



Tools for Literacy
Here are some of my favorite tools, templates and worksheets I use for literacy. Please feel free to use, share and pass along.
