Reviewing Nouns!

I'm getting ready to go on vacation with my family tomorrow night and what is keeping me from sleeping? No, not all the things I need to remember to pack or making sure the house is secure before we leave but- yep...you guessed it...WORK! Ugh...I woke up at 3:15 a.m. and couldn't stop thinking about all the things I want to get finished before I head back to school in a few weeks.  So, naturally, I decided to get up and make myself useful.  So, here is a great Noun Detectives Roam the Room activity I just finished.  This would be great for first grade as well as (hopefully) a review activity for my second graders.  I'll probably use this early in the year to refresh their "summer brains" on what they learned way back in first grade.

Ok, now that I feel a little bit of accomplishment, I'm off to try to catch some z's before the mad rush of packing for a week-long vacation for six gets going.  Wish me luck!

FREE Online Book App!

Don't ALL teachers LOVE free stuff?!?!  Well- in case you haven't heard, all teachers can get a FREE educator account on an ipad app called Epic.  I found the link on Teaching Maddeness 2nd Grade with Amanda Madden.  She had a post on her iPad organization and mentioned this resource.  So, I googled it and found that to get to the free teacher site, you need to visit www.getepic.com/educators. There you can sign up and register your students for access to the site.  

Most of the books are to be read by your students, but some can be read aloud to them.  Be sure to check your preferences to be sure you have access to age appropriate books for your class!  

Enjoy!
