I've been super busy with weddings, vacations, and of course the Las Vegas TPT Conference! What an amazing experience! I had a blast and left incredibly motivated by the many wonderful educators who presented!<br />
<br />
I'm finally now starting to get into back to school mode and decided on a new theme for my classroom! I'm moving into a new room so I decided on a fresh start! I'm going with chalkboard theme mixed with neon colors and I'm throwing some bright chevron in the mix of course! I created some new chalkboard themed labels for my A-Z leveled library bins and posted them on sale as of last night! Check them out by clicking below if you love chalkboard or bright colors like me!<br />

To say thank you, I have invited my TOP 30 favorite sellers on Teachers Pay Teachers to share in my birthday excitement. A HUGE thank you goes out to all 30 sellers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my 30th birthday celebration ROCKIN! I am so excited to introduce who the "birthday presents" will be from...<br />

Every time I look at this picture, I get excited. So! I hope you are too. Here is how the giveaway will work. It will start bright and early Monday, April 21st and go through Friday, April 25th at 11:59pm Please make sure to read this section as there are a few ground rules to enter. Because this is a huge giveaway, I broke down the presents into three groups. You may enter all 3 giveaways. Please do what is asked of you to enter. I know it can be a little daunting if there are 10003 (or 30) tasks for one giveaway; that is why I made 3 different giveaways. I just ask as a gift to me you follow the rules. I want my Top 30 sellers to get love as well. ***If you enter all three giveaways, you only need to do Ramona Recommends stuff once.***The 3 Winners will be announced and emailed that weekend (possibly Monday). Those three winners will receive emails from the donors with the birthday present they won. For example: If Rita Book entered Birthday Present 1 and WON, she would get all those treats only. So! I suggest entering all 3. You never know you; could win all three! :) <br />

I can't believe March is already almost over! This month has been packed with some fun activities for my students so I thought I'd share some of them. One activity that I had them do were Leprechaun Limericks. My students always love writing these because they end up hilarious! Check out the kiddo below….</div>

I had them write their final drafts on these shamrocks and they ended up making a super cute bulletin board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To get in the spirit of March Madness, we also did a little Tournament of Books. I created a shared Google Doc that the kids could use to keep track the top favorite books that they have been reading this year. This made it very easy to choose our top 16 for the tournament. The bulletin board ended up being huge so I just took a picture of the left and right sides below.</div>

As students finished the tournament books, we voted on their favorites! This ended up being a fun activity for our whole grade level. Which book ended up winning? Wonder, of course! I'm so glad we did this activity because many students ended up choosing books to read that they never would have picked up before! I really suggest doing this next March if you haven't! </div>

I also have my students fill out their own March Madness brackets since we are having many more college discussions as we try to get them "college ready". I've been using this great product by Kristine Nannini and the kids LOVE it! The picture is linked to her store if you want to check it out.</div>

The last March activity that I love having my students do is my March Math Task cards. This is a great St. Patrick's Day math activity and it can be used as a "Scoot" or as centers. They are in black and white so you can just print on colored card stock if you want, and you are set! It comes with 60 task cards that give a mixed review that is great for test prep! It also has a student recording sheet as well as an answer key. I have a 3rd grade version and a 4th grade version. I'm putting these both on sale for the next three days if you want to scoop it up for next year! Clicking on the product below will take you to it in my store.</div>

We just celebrated the 100th day of school and we had a blast! This packet was the best because it was engaging, covered ELA and math CCSS {plus a little PE}, and was a great independent activity.</div>

Jen's amazing task cards are almost zero-prep., which I love. I can only take so much laminating and cutting. These are great for 2nd and 3rd graders who need as much reinforcement they can get with regrouping. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listening: Yes, I'm listening to the football game but not by choice. My husband is a HUGE football fan and is currently going back and forth between fantasy teams. I don't hate football but I'm definitely not as big of a fan as he is. I actually love it because it gives me some "me" time whenever he's distracted by it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Loving: I'm definitely loving this Cyber Monday sale. I filled my cart with some amazing products that I'm so excited about! I also did a little shopping on Amazon for Christmas gifts! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thinking: How did I get sick during the only week that I was off work and not around my students??!! It doesn't make sense but it needs to go away!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needing: The Bath and Body candles are the best! It's so hard to decide because I love them all! I'm going to put one in every room this year for sure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Favorite Tradition: My favorite holiday tradition is getting together as a family every Christmas morning to open gifts under the tree. I know you are probably thinking, of course! But we have continued this tradition in our family even as us "kids" have grown up and gotten married. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time to get back to my Cyber Monday shopping! If you are still doing your TPT shopping, I bundled a bunch of my writing units/projects for an even bigger discount if you want to check them out….</div>

Well, this is that year for me. It has been tough because behavior management has always been a strong area for me. My principals would always give me those tough kids that needed that extra structure and follow through, and I'm used to being able to handle it! You can imagine how frustrating it has been to have a class where nothing would work. Yes, I have a few students with some special needs and a few behavior problems, but overall, they are great kids…just the most chatty class in my 7 years of teaching. I found myself getting overwhelmed and exhausted. (Notice the lack of blog posts the last couple months).<br />
<br />
I had heard about Class Dojo before but was hesitant to try something new after my students had already been in school for over a month. Well, I can say I'm SO glad I did! Class Dojo has literally changed my life this year. My students are focused, engaged, and always ready to learn. Now I'm thinking, why didn't I use this earlier?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lzfY8X8n3uM/UpYwmirNSPI/AAAAAAAADYQ/RCj28M2OeB4/s1600/class+dojo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lzfY8X8n3uM/UpYwmirNSPI/AAAAAAAADYQ/RCj28M2OeB4/s320/class+dojo.jpg" height="191" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My students loved creating their avatar and are obsessed with earning points! I thought for sure there would be a student or two who weren't motivated by it, but nope! ALL OF THEM ARE! The parents are thrilled that they can check their child's behavior daily, and they love the weekly reports. Right now I have my students cashing in their points when they would like to trade it in for something. They are always aware of their point total and know to tell me when they would like to cash in their points. I have a chart for prizes they can earn but I'm sure I will continue to add more.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another thing I absolutely love about Class Dojo is that I can open the app on my phone to reward students with points when we leave the classroom for music, PE, assemblies, science, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure many of you are already using Class Dojo but for those of you who aren't, I hope this gave you a little push to try it! I'm definitely glad I did, and so is my husband! :) </div>

We have been studying animal adaptations in science so I had my students do this fun little project! They had a blast doing it and they turned out great so I thought I'd share it with you! I had them first choose an animal (many created their own which was fun) and then choose four adaptations that their animal would have. During the written portion of the assignment, students described the ecosystem their animal lives in, the adaptations in detail, and what the animal eats. I also had them do a drawing and label the adaptations. Here are a couple examples below. I was so impressed with all of the creativity!<br />

<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listening: Yes, I'm a lucky girl. My husband cooks breakfast for us every weekend! He really should have been a chef! His breakfast is always amazing and he is even better on the BBQ!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Loving: I'm not sure what I would do if today wasn't a holiday. It is SO hard to get through that first week back so I'm definitely loving this long weekend!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thinking: No matter what time I can sleep in till, I always wake up before seven! It drives me nuts! Especially after an exhausting week, my body needs sleep!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wanting: I would love it if these kiddos would just adjust after a week. This new class is definitely more challenging than the last few. I have a feeling this group is going to give me a serious addiction to Starbucks and maybe wine too. At least they are cute! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needing: Groceries! I'm just being lazy due to my explanation of my "wanting". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Goals: I would love to keep up my pilates workouts that I started over the summer. It makes me feel great and I'm in better shape than I've been in years! I just need to push through those moments after school where I feel exhausted because it really does give me that extra boost of energy when the class is done. Also, going to try my best to give myself breaks. I'm always doing way too much and agreeing to take on too many extra jobs! Also, as a newlywed, I'm going to try my best to "not sweat the small stuff". Probably the most common marriage advice ever but so true!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I hope everyone is enjoying their three day weekend!</div>

Here are all of my favorite parts to the lesson planner but of course there is much more!<br />
<br />
<br />
I had to get my favorite color in the lovely chevron pattern...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mnmB4GA0B5A/Ug5ZqmW19jI/AAAAAAAADT4/OjYPnvCUe6I/s640/blogger-image--1729818707.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-mnmB4GA0B5A/Ug5ZqmW19jI/AAAAAAAADT4/OjYPnvCUe6I/s640/blogger-image--1729818707.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I love this page that lists all of the important dates and holidays! It's going to make adding them to my weekly plans much easier!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iC-Ha9G0Rzc/Ug5Zri46vpI/AAAAAAAADUA/PlQ4Z2eOpug/s640/blogger-image--2058401159.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iC-Ha9G0Rzc/Ug5Zri46vpI/AAAAAAAADUA/PlQ4Z2eOpug/s640/blogger-image--2058401159.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I love this year at a glance page. I'm going to list the major units for each subject that I plan to cover during each month.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KTupBEygR9E/Ug5ZteZFOiI/AAAAAAAADUQ/UPKPTkxzM4k/s640/blogger-image-969920020.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-KTupBEygR9E/Ug5ZteZFOiI/AAAAAAAADUQ/UPKPTkxzM4k/s640/blogger-image-969920020.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Here's what the monthly planning pages look like.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zUpXL5EAxPo/Ug5YNhQfk2I/AAAAAAAADTg/eIuli1cMyNI/s640/blogger-image-642528511.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-zUpXL5EAxPo/Ug5YNhQfk2I/AAAAAAAADTg/eIuli1cMyNI/s640/blogger-image-642528511.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Here are the weekly lesson planning pages. I LOVE the bright colors!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yOYHqVQJQeU/Ug5YMvpSFkI/AAAAAAAADTY/Uj3_c1_kN38/s640/blogger-image--770263801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-yOYHqVQJQeU/Ug5YMvpSFkI/AAAAAAAADTY/Uj3_c1_kN38/s640/blogger-image--770263801.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
There are many blank checklists included and of course they are bright and colorful. :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cq3T2FDURZY/Ug5YOYcS-5I/AAAAAAAADTo/AEYkI8mg8L8/s640/blogger-image--976405520.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cq3T2FDURZY/Ug5YOYcS-5I/AAAAAAAADTo/AEYkI8mg8L8/s640/blogger-image--976405520.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Lastly, my absolute favorite thing (excuse the blurry pic) are the stickers! There are several pages of stickers for assembly, IEP, duty, staff meeting, furlough, holiday, conferences, and much more!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bh5ZJlYWDsQ/Ug5Zsbd8AUI/AAAAAAAADUI/cDdgo1TaQNk/s640/blogger-image--2068346148.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bh5ZJlYWDsQ/Ug5Zsbd8AUI/AAAAAAAADUI/cDdgo1TaQNk/s640/blogger-image--2068346148.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
Those are just my favorite parts but of course there's a ton more like blank pages, pockets, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I'm so happy with this purchase and it meets all of my crazy OCD teacher needs! </div>

Today I'm sharing my favorite back to school read aloud. I absolutely LOVE Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tfcUMbVBoFI/UfiE8B189yI/AAAAAAAADS4/9kCnLTQrzjk/s1600/those+shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-tfcUMbVBoFI/UfiE8B189yI/AAAAAAAADS4/9kCnLTQrzjk/s320/those+shoes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For those who haven't read it, it's a story about a boy named Jeremy who wants the new, cool shoes that everyone is wearing at school. His family can't afford the new shoes so he ends up getting a pair at the thrift shop that are too small. It ends with a message about friendship and a great reminder at the beginning of the year about what is really important. It's also a great read aloud for teaching connections!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Read alouds are a huge part of my instruction in reader's and writer's workshop. I actually have a list of all of my favorite read alouds available in my TPT store and I update it as I have new favorites! I've listed my favorites for reader's workshop, narrative writing, how-to books, and persuasive writing. I keep each on a separate page so I can slip it into that unit's file. If you are just starting your read aloud collection, there are some great ones on the list!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a special bin for my read alouds that the students need to check out from me if they want to read. I keep them filled with post-its that include my own thinking and examples to point out as I read the book to students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Last year I bought my very first Erin Condren Life Planner and fell in love with it as many other teachers have.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rs6yljsmyN0/UfbOZUtic2I/AAAAAAAADSY/VRbBdX-aSOU/s640/blogger-image--906251477.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rs6yljsmyN0/UfbOZUtic2I/AAAAAAAADSY/VRbBdX-aSOU/s320/blogger-image--906251477.jpg" width="239" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because of my love for the life planner, this year I decided to go with the Erin Condren Teacher Planner and I'm patiently waiting for that pretty box to arrive any day now! I will use that teacher planner for my weekly lesson plans, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also like to plan out my specific units and lessons another way for Writer's Workshop. I actually have a binder for each writing unit I teach. On the inside of each binder, I have my unit of study monthly plan where I map out each month's unit along with samples, rubrics, and more! I love having my lesson plans in these unit folders in addition to my other teacher's planner because I can find them easier from year to year, rather than having to try and remember my plans for introducing each unit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm going to post those templates and a detailed look at these binders in another post soon. Until then, you can grab the planning binder covers for free for each of the writing units! Just click below and be sure to check out all of the other lesson planner ideas over at <a href="http://theteacherschair.blogspot.com/2013/07/hey-teachersshow-us-your-lesson-planners.html" target="_blank">The Teacher's Chair</a>!</div>

They are not teaching related since my brain is in wedding mode this week! 17 more days! Woohoo! The first thing I'm loving and using nonstop this week is of course Pinterest. I'm wondering how weddings were planned before Pinterest??!! Just when I can't make a decision on colors, flowers, you name it, Pinterest has all the answers! Often too many though! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listening: Go Dodgers! As soon as the fiance gets home, I have no choice but to listen to/watch/live sports. It's my life and I've finally accepted it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Loving: It feels so good to blog again! I took about two months off from blogging (and reading blogs) to focus on planning my wedding! It was a much needed break so I could focus but it feels so good to be back!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thinking: I have accomplished everything on my to do lists since the start of my summer break and it feels sooooo good! I still have quite a bit to do but I'm feeling good!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wanting: This is a must! I can't go on my honeymoon looking like a slob so I must start shopping ASAP! One more month to work out and find some cute clothes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needing: Why is it that every time we host events, it is my fiance's idea, yet I'm the one who does all the cleaning? Hmmm. I guess I can't complain about that this time since I'm on break. I do have a TON of organizing I've been putting off too that I need to do!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tips, Tricks, or Hints: As I said above, I took a few months off of blogging and even reading blogs. It was so hard not to blog stalk, blog, or even create new products, but I think it's okay to take some time off! I feel much better being prepared and all planned for the wedding. It's easy to tell when bloggers are rushed or not really into their post so I'm so glad I didn't attempt that. It will just make catching up much more fun now! I can't wait to read all of the fabulous teacher blogs I've missed reading for the last few months!</div>

I added a couple new activities and lessons that I think really helped them be successful so I'll share what I added. I purchased the Figurative Language worksheet packet by Rachel Lynette found <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Figurative-Language-Idioms-Similes-Metaphors-etc-CCSS-Aligned-Answer-Keys-171493" target="_blank">here</a> and I absolutely loved it! It gives enough worksheets/activities for classwork, homework, and I had a bunch left over that I didn't even get to! They are simple, fun activities to get students to practice.<br />
<br />
I also had my students complete a figurative language flip book. I spent one week on each type of figurative language. They would complete the pages from the pack above as well as the corresponding section on their figurative language book. There are many examples of these flip books online but I basically gave them a sheet with the title of each type along with the meaning. They glued these definitions and titles to the outside of each flap and then came up with an example, sentence, and illustration for the inside. It's such a simple project but of course anything using art, they would beg to move on to the next example every week! They also turned out beautiful so I displayed them at Open House. See below...<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My favorite are the polka dot posters but the chevron ones also seem to be a big hit! </div>

You can find them both in my store: <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Figurative-Language-Posters-in-Polka-Dots-332526" target="_blank">Polka Dots</a> and <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Figurative-Language-Posters-in-Chevron-321666" target="_blank">Chevron</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My posters, the packet from Rachel Lynette, and the flip books were a huge success! I'd love to hear if anyone else has any tips or tricks that helped make learning figurative language a success!</div>

I'm having my students complete a country research report and every year I've done them, they turn out amazing! I'm having them due right before Open House (ours is at the end of May) since they look beautiful up! Here are some pics of how great they have turned out in the past…<br />

4. I worked on the never ending task of leveling my library! I'm great at doing this at the beginning of the year but all of those books that get donated midyear somehow slip through the cracks and don't get leveled before I put them out! Finally fixed that this week! Thanks to Kristen from <a href="http://www.ladybugsteacherfiles.com/" target="_blank">Ladybug's Teacher Files</a> for the super cute library labels! I LOVE these!</div>

5. Last but not least, we are finishing up our Gold Rush unit with this wonderful book below! What I love even more is the wonderful audiobook for it on iTunes! The multiple character voice recordings really make it exciting for the kids! Not only is this tied to our social studies curriculum but there are so many great activities you can do with this book!</div>

Advice: Don't sweat the small stuff is such simple advice to remember whether you are wedding planning or dealing with a problem student! :) I feel like I tell myself this at least once a day.</div>

My spring break has put me in the mood to post something spring related! My students really enjoyed my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Patricks-Day-Math-Centers-4th-Grade" target="_blank">St. Patrick's Day Math Centers</a> that they did last month. It ended up being a fun rotation that lasted about two weeks and was great test prep! I decided to edit the product so that those of you who didn't purchase it, can take advantage of the fun, but with a new spring theme!<br />
<br />
It includes an answer recording sheet, answer key, and 60 math task cards that cover the following:<br />
-factors<br />
-prime and composite numbers<br />
-multiplication<br />
-division<br />
-adding and subtracting fractions with like denominators<br />
-mixed numbers<br />
-improper fractions<br />
<br />
It's aligned to the 4th grade Common Core Standards but is a great review for 5th too! Please keep in mind that if you've purchased my St. Patrick's Day pack, this is the same pack, just a different theme!<br />
<br />
I'd love to give away this pack to the first one of my blog followers that leaves me a comment below! Don't forget to leave your email so I can send it to you! Click below to check it out!<br />

Every year I have my students write Leprechaun Limericks and they always turn out great! There are many templates available online that you can find. I have my students write their final draft on shamrock shaped paper and they look great on the bulletin board! I also love how my students have so much fun writing them and they can't get over the fact that they're allowed to be silly.<br />
<br />
Another activity I'm doing all week is my <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Patricks-Day-Math-Centers-4th-Grade" target="_blank">St. Patrick's Day Math Centers</a>. This packet is aligned to the Common Core for 4th grade but would also be great review for 5th too. There are 60 math task cards as well as a recording sheet and an answer key. Each standard has a different kind of clip art that corresponds to where they record it on their recording sheet. I have a different standard on each table and have the kids rotate through them during the week.<br />

The recording sheet makes it easy for students to be sure they're on the right group of task cards since the clip art matches. </div>
