Great Way to get your kids writing at home:)

One of my students made a paper Quentin to go with our class pet Quentin the Quality Penguin.  Here she is reading the journal entry she wrote last night and showing what she made at home last night.  Now my class says we have a baby Quentin.  They just love Quentin!

Great Book and Coloring Book to match about Kindness:)

This is a coloring book that matches the book.  The kids got so excited about having their own copy of the story for their book bags.  I will be anxious to see how many students will learn to read the whole book:)

You can get both of these items in our Fall Fun Literacy Bundle at Teachers Pay Teachers.

My class loved our new book about  Quentin the Quality Penguin in the pumpkin patch.  Quentin learns a valuable lesson about kindness.  We had a great discussion about how we should behave and being kind.  My students said it was just like in our Quality Student song.  They wanted to sing the song after we read the story so they could listen for that part in the song about kindness.

Words, numbers, patterns all in one calendar plus a fun game!

This is our ELA calendar which has October words for each day.  The calendar pieces are in a pattern. There is a student version and a fun vocabulary scoot game or use it as a word center.  Students will have a great bank of words to use for writing with this.  Great for ELL students!

A Great Motivator!

These are our Quentin Dollars that I use in my classroom.  I can't believe how successful they have been in getting my students to behave as well as doing work.  I started giving them out for getting 80% to 100% on Accelerated Reading tests.  My students are constantly reading during any free time they get and asking me if they can take a test.  So, now I have students wanting to read and write more.  I am looking forward to seeing how well my students progress this year.  Half my class is ELL level 1 so we have a lot of work to do, but my students are motivated!

Freebie at our TPT store.

So, one of my first graders asked me if she could get a "Quentin Dollar"(freedownload at our store) if she did some extra writing.  This is what she wrote: part of our MP3 Quality Student song.  This is what each letter of Quality stands for.  WOW!  It is so exciting to be a teacher!:) She got 2 Quentin Dollars. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Quality-Students-Mp3-Song-450741

And this was written by one of my ELL students, also from the Quality Student song.  She just wrote this on the back of another paper that she completed.
