Upper Grade Blogs!

I have a teacher friend who is leaving first grade and will be teaching a 3rd and 4th grade combo. Do any of you know of any good upper grade blogs?

Lesson Plan Template

I am looking to revamp my lesson plan template. I have used this template for many years and would really like to try something new. I am hoping that some of you will SHARE what you use. I am attaching mine in hopes that someone else will find it useful.

Website Links HELP!

Hi All!

A week or so ago one of you awesome teachers created a list of links with the help of the great blogging teachers out there. The problem is that I thought I saved it. Now that I want to refer back to it, I can't find it. Can one of you awesome friends help me.....PLEASE?!?!?

Author Study

Ok. So this year I started an Author Study but it only lasted for a few months. After reading Debi's post about her Poetry Journal Scrapbook at Just 4 Teachers I was inspired to plan out an author study that correlates to Treasures Reading. The author chosen for Start Smart and Unit 2 do not correlate with Treasures. I didn't find an author in those two units that I thought I wanted to focus on. So for Start Smart, I chose David Shannon because we use his book "David Goes to School" to talk about rules. So it correlates with our Social Studies Unit. For Unit 2 I chose Leo Lionni because he is one of my favorites and I have tons of books by him.

Let's hope this link works. Author Schedule
