Welcome to Fun in Room 4B!
Can you guess what skill we are working on this week? I’m so witty. Not really…maybe a little punch-drunk. Anyway. Here’s a freebie for you. It’s a word document so that you can change the book example to work for you. I’ve read several Laura Numeroff’s books to teach cause and effect. I’ve got quite…
{Shameless plug for my GIVEAWAY} Sorry! But, here’s a freebie for enduring it. My team and I had to teach “Sequence in Research” last week. Really? How do you do that? Remember funny co-worker {the Gone With the Wind one}, she suggested that we complete research on famous African Americans for Black History month. Then,…
What brought you in? The solids and nets part of the title or the GIVEAWAY {imagine that in flashing neon lights}. Either way, I’m glad you are here. But, first, I’d like to back up a few days {and if you are interested, keep reading…otherwise…it’s OK to scroll all the way to the bottom for…
I’ve been pulling my hair out all year plugging away at trying to implement the Daily 5 all year. I’ve worked at creating a Reading Block that is kinda working for me now. Here’s the breakdown: We start with Daily Oral Language. Do any of you use this book? My grade level uses it to…
Did that catch your attention? Probably just to see what I’m complaining about {again}. This is the only thing I will say: Valentine’s Day at school can be CRAZY! I had all of these lofty ideas about what I wanted to do. I did some, but fussed all day long. I’m sure my kiddos were…

Valentine’s Day is a great time of year for students and teachers alike. We get to take a moment to pause and spend some time sharing our admiration for each other. Parents like to receive class lists in plenty of time to help their children get those special little treats put together to share with…
Pam was one of the people in this community that I first started to follow. What I loved about her was her dedication to share. Today we honor Pam Woods of The Vintage Teacher. You have probably already seen her blog button everywhere our here in bloggy land. Everything in her TN store is free…
This is a bit long…but at the end you will be rewarded with a prize! I found these beauties in Target! Love that dollar bin area. It’s a killer, though. In case you can’t see…they are Xs and Os to use as table scatters. Thought to myself {insert thought bubble}, “What can I do with…
Do you use “Notebooking”? Several years ago, I was “nominated” ~ ‘cause no one else wanted to do it ~ to be a part of the Teaching American History Grant that had been received by my district. I reluctantly agreed to be the representative for our school. Man am I glad that I did. I…
