SDE Conference RECAP!

Happy Thursday Friends!

This week has definitely been an interesting week!  (Full Moon, Sub, some other crazy things….. you know… the joys of Kindergarten!)

The week did start off pretty AMAZING as I got to spend a few days with some blogging buddies and Tennessee teachers in Nashville for the I Teach 1st and I Teach Kindergarten conferences!

I presented eight sessions but I wanted to highlight a few of those sessions in this post and let you know where you can find some of the resources that were mentioned!

My Sight Word Session is always one of my favorites!  I am ALWAYS looking for fun and meaningful ways for my students to master their sight words.  Below are a few of the resources I mentioned, although it on my to-do list to create a pack with ALL of the activities that were presented as well as printables, material lists, directions, etc….

The Writing on the Wall pack includes all of the activities that can be done with your sight words and word wall!
Interactive Sight Words (First 100 Fry Words) is great for morning work, fast finishers, interactive journals, and MORE!
Fun with FRYS includes multiple activities AND songs for the first 100 Fry Words! (1000+ pages!)
Sight Word Songs (first 100 Fry Words) includes a song for EACH Fry word on the 1-100 list!
Writing is something that can be super scary….. and not just for the kids!  Teaching writing used to be so challenging for me because EVERY.SINGLE.STUDENT was somewhere different in the writing process and their development stage…..
But that’s all change and I absolutely LOVE seeing my students progress throughout the year in their writing…. definitely makes my teacher heart swell!
These were just a *few* of the resources mentioned in my “It’s Gonna Be All WRITE” session! (links are below!)
Sentence Stems for Young Writers includes over 150 stems / prompts for your beginning writers! 
Read, Write, and Build is great to integrate your poetry and have students reading and writing familiar rhymes!
Writing Spinners puts a fun twist on your writing activities!
The Silly Sentence Station is a classroom FAVORITE!  Students will selects the parts of a sentence and write a very silly sentence!
R.T.I…… probably three of the scariest letters to a teacher!  RTI can definitely be tricky due to amount of  planning and organization needed for it be successful (as well as finding the time to do it all)!
I really need about a week to talk all about RTI…. 75 minutes is definitely a short amount of time to discuss all of the components, but hitting the high spots was about all I could do!  Below you find some resources that can help you when implementing RTI!
FREE – RTI Informational Posters let you know exactly what is in each tier, how to identify these students, and more! 
Mission Intervention – Alphabet – Includes printables, activities, games and intervention activities for students who need additional instruction with the alphabet and sounds.
Guided Reading for 1st Grade – The Bundle (Includes monthly packs with multiple activities and resources to use for reading groups, stations, and more!)

NUMBER SENSE….. just a few of my favorite words as a kindergarten teacher!  I absolutely LOVE teaching concepts and activities that will better my student’s number sense!  This is also one of my favorite sessions that I present on…. and below are a few of the math activities 🙂

Monthly Math – Kindergarten – Bundle – Includes monthly packs with 8-12 math stations!
MEGA Math Bundle – 1st Grade – Includes 8 packets with content specific activities – full of engaging activities for whole and small group, stations, crafts, and more!
Math for ME!  – 1st Grade – an RTI intervention binder that covers the math standards for grade 1.
Know Your Number Sense! – 60 number cards that will help students identify the multiple ways to represent a number!

Since I am still in the classroom as a full time teacher, I usually only present about 3-5 conferences during the school year.  You can click on the tab at the top of the page to see where I will be this year!  (I need to update a few summer conferences once they are set in stone!)

And…. I can’t forget these ladies below 🙂   They are SO sweet and talented and I am so thankful that I got to spend a few days with them…. until next time!

And my goodness…. always good to catch up with the AMAZING and sweet ladies!  These ladies right are some seriously talented friends who I truly wish I got to spend some more time with!
