Good Evening All,
I hope everyone had an awesome day... I never grow tired of animal print and I know many of you out there love it as well. In saying that, I decided to create some mini-posters to go maybe above your white board or on a bulletin board somewhere in your classroom. Each mini-poster emphasizes a comprehension strategy for students to use to continue to be successful readers! I hope you enjoy!
In this packet, you will find seven great at-a glance reading comprehension strategies mini posters that are a perfect fit above your white board in your classroom. They will also work ideal on a bulletin board. The seven strategies include: predicting, visualizing, questioning, connecting, identifying, inferring, and evaluating. They are all designed with colorful animal print borders!

Rules of the Rug! ... I Believe This is All We Really Need to Know!
Good Evening to All!
Drew had football practice this evening at 6:30 so I decided to take my computer with me and see what I might could accomplish... so about an hour later... I came up with a packet of mini-posters which help to reinforce the rules of the rug... you know the real rules that we really need to live by throughout life! Things like face forward, criss cross applesauce, etc. of course as I type this, I am thinking of a few more that I might need to add to the packet! Nevertheless, I hope these may help some of you in establishing rules and procedures for "the rug!"
This is a packet of mini-posters for the “rules of the rug!” Young children in preschool, pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and even first grade will delight in learning the “rules of the rug!” Teach them the rules and procedures and they will not forget them all year! You will find seven mini posters with eye-catching borders that are sure to grab the attention of the learners!

Sunday Night... Again... The Weekends Go Too Fast!
Good Evening All,
I am most excited about what I have created today... I hope it serves to help many teachers. As we all know there is much more emphasis on informational text than ever before. Not too long ago, I was scanning through Facebook and began to see these most interesting photos of the abandoned Six Flags Amusement Park in New Orleans. It has never re-opened since August 21, 2005. The pictures are absolutely breathtaking! When you see a few of them, I think that you will agree! Nevertheless, I wrote a short article (478 words) about the abandoned park and added a five question quiz!
I hope you all love it! Give me feedback to make improvements! I hope this is the first of many short articles that will engage a room full of readers!
Your students are absolutely sure to be engaged in this informational text! This is an informative article written about the abandoned Six Flags Amusement Park in New Orleans who closed its door on August 21, 2005, and was scheduled to reopen the following weekend on August 27th. With the forecast, the park braced for the storm and everyone evacuated. It has never re-opened. The article is 478 words long, has three photos with captions, and a five question quiz. The quiz has three multiple choice questions and two open ended questions which ask the reader to create a timeline as well as write a five to seven sentence paragraph. This text is sure to engage a room full of readers!
