The COVID-19 pandemic sure has put a wrench in my back to school planning. During the Spring, I tried my best to use as many of the resources I already had in an online capacity. One of the products I use regularly with my class is the open ended, differentiated word problems I have available in my TPT shop:<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcj_Zq6QyBti1TJhmooxoVO_7rz2k7CTjtAWT8iK15NEv5os-yUp6J5f1xaKUgANquR89WNBK7Ozjs3tB0yjd50Y1mqL5SaZTKCAuqxbD61m_hDRfOvQX5URs6hwxk7QNpieqiu2jboQ/s369/Screen+Shot+2020-08-06+at+11.17.58+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; padding: 1em 0px;"><img border="0" data-original-height="353" data-original-width="369" height="282" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcj_Zq6QyBti1TJhmooxoVO_7rz2k7CTjtAWT8iK15NEv5os-yUp6J5f1xaKUgANquR89WNBK7Ozjs3tB0yjd50Y1mqL5SaZTKCAuqxbD61m_hDRfOvQX5URs6hwxk7QNpieqiu2jboQ/w295-h282/Screen+Shot+2020-08-06+at+11.17.58+AM.png" width="295" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/YEAR-LONG-BUNDLE-Open-Ended-Differentiated-Word-Problems-2741348">word problem bundle</a></td></tr></tbody></table><div><br />I have now UPDATED the entire bundle to include digital images of each word problem (all three levels!) to be included in your Google Slides activities.

I am SO excited about the calendar I've developed this summer. There has always been something I didn't like about the calendars I've used in the past... numbers too big, holiday cards blocking numbers, too distracting, too random... and not enough student ownership. In my classroom I really strive to make student work the focus of the walls and displays. I don't like to have too much commercially made things on the wall, or random decor for the sake of decor. Of course, some of it is fine, I'm just trying to limit the random distractions for some of my kiddos.</div>

So I combined all of my thoughts together and planned a calendar that is simple, low prep, and has student work as the central focus. The way this calendar works is there are 31 day cards (that I laminated for durability, since I'll be reusing the same ones every month), month cards, and days of the week cards (both the months and days come in a black background or a white background).<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
There are also tons of holiday cards. The holiday cards are not as wide as the date cards, allowing you to place them on top of the date card without blocking the number. The holiday cards have simple, clear designs, so they aren't too busy or distracting. And THEN, on top of it all, I've made student reflection cards that can go in the pocket, keeping the holiday title and date visible. You can use the included cards (with a variety of sentence starters, blank, or editable so you can write your own), or just use post-it notes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
This is a great way to end the day. Students gathering together, reflecting on the day and then choosing one student's work to go up on the calendar and represent that day. I'm going to try to make sure that each kiddo gets a chance to have their work displayed each month.</div>

This summer I was shopping at Michaels and saw the most beautiful rose gold happy planner rings... and so I decided that this year I would use this system for my planner. :) I like the size of the classic happy planner - the big one is great because it is 8.5x11 size, but I just find it's so big and heavy. Fortunately, I found it was pretty easy to print my planner out and trim the pages to the right size.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The dimensions of the classic sized happy planner are 9.25 x 7 inches. To print, just scale the size to 81%. You can print double sized at this size as well, if your printer has that option. </div>

To cut it exactly to size, I then trimmed off 0.875 inches off the top and bottom (the short edges), and 0.75 inches off of the sides (the long edges). Using the ruler on the paper cutter really helped make this easy. :)</div>

I don't know about you, but I have seen so many fabulous ideas on Pinterest and TPT for reward positive student behaviour. A lot of them require a fair amount of prep work, and I'm really trying to cut down on the amount of my personal time that I devote to work. Enter WOW stickers. I had some Avery 02102 labels laying around, so I designed some motivational stickers to give to my kiddos to reinforce their positive behaviour. </div>

These labels are super versatile and I also use them to <a href="http://aminimalistteacher.blogspot.com/2018/05/minimalist-classroom-library-labels.html">organize my classroom library.</a> You can download a template from Avery's website and basically use them to organize anything you wish. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Note - since the labels are 3/4 inch, I'd recommend you print on the highest quality print setting to ensure the image is super clear and crisp. </b></div>

One of the sticker book varieties has a space for you to write a little note for the student, but there are other varieties where they can stick them in themselves and set goals for how many stickers they would like to earn each month. :)<br />

I've finally been able to add my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Minimalist-Classroom-Library-Labels-3822516">Minimalist Classroom Library Labels </a>to my TPT shop! </div>

This has been a true work of love - I've had the idea in my head for years and finally (thanks to the ease of these labels mainly) found a simple way to make my plan come to life. I had previously tried making labels for my books by cutting each one out individually and taping it on to each book. Talk about time consuming! Now all I needed to do was pop the sticker labels into my printer and print! Instant circle stickers for each book. :)</div>

There are 100 different labels, each with a bin label and corresponding sticker labels. Each sheet of sticker labels prints 24 stickers, which has been sufficient for most of my bins. It's been nice to have a few extra on hand for when I add new books to my library. </div>

I don't know about you, but I love having a really natural, reggio-inspired look to my classroom. These labels complement that nicely I find. When things are too busy, colourful, and distracting, I find both my students and myself don't function as well. These help give my classroom library the calming look I'm going for. :)</div>

Are you looking for an engaging game that can easily be differentiated to meet all of your learners' needs? Well look no futher!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Zap games take a bit of prep to set up the first time, but after the initial set up it is super easy to swap out for new content. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Read on to find out the two main ways that I would recommend setting up the games:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When you purchase the product on TPT, you will get two different labels - the first has a set of three that you can cut out and glue onto your own decorative wrapping paper. The second label is already printed for you on decorative paper. You also get two sheets of game cards - this set is the alphabet version. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can use whichever kind of container you would like for this game, but I prefer Pringles containers. </div>

<br />
<br />
ASSEMBLY VERSION 1: If you want to use the decorative paper I have included in the file, simply print it out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
If you wrap it around the pringles container, you will notice it is just a smidge too small. You can either leave it like this, or first wrap a blank piece of white paper around the top of the container (see below) and then secure the decorative label on top. :)<br />

ASSEMBLY VERSION 2: If you want to use your own wrapping paper, print out the page with the three labels and the blank background. Measure your wrap carefully, cut, and secure onto the can. Cut out the label and attach onto the wrapping paper. :)<br />

Here is a side by side of each way to assemble. The first way is definitely easier, but I understand that teachers may have their own colour grouping/themes they may want to use, which is why I have included both versions.<br />

Next, chop up all of the game cards! I would definitely recommend using a paper cutter to make it easier on you. Laminating them will make them last longer, but if you have gentle kiddos then cardstock will work fine too. </div>

Fold them up, pop them into the container, and you are all set to play!<br />
<br />
How to play ZAP games:<br />
<br />
Kids can play independently, or in groups. I find 3-4 work best, but you can always have larger groups if you want.<br />
<br />
Students will take turns drawing a card from the container. This is where you can differentiate as you see fit. For example, with the alphabet set, you can have the following levels of differentiation:<br />
Level 1- identify the name of the letter<br />
Level 2 - identify the sound of the letter<br />
Level 3 - identify a word that starts with that letter<br />
<br />
If the child gets the card correct, they can keep it in their pile. If they get it incorrect, they put it back.<br />
<br />
If you draw a ZAP card, you put all of your cards back into the container!<br />
<br />
Game play continues for a set amount of time (I usually say 10-15 minutes) and then the kids count up their cards. Whoever has the most is the winner!<br />

In my first few years of teaching, I would lose my voice so frequently from raising my voice to get my students' attention. I wasn't even yelling, just trying to be heard over group work chatter or in the gym. This year, I was determined to keep my voice safe, so I found a few alternatives:</div>

The whistles I purchased from a toy store (although I can't remember which!). The jingle bells were from the target dollar spot, and the other bell is from a local bookstore in Vancouver (Banyen Books, if you are interested), although it is also avaliable on amazon. The bird whistle is from a farmers market - it is locally made. You just need a few drops of water inside and it makes beautiful bird sounds.<br />
<br />
The way I use these tools is different - I have my students trained to leave their work where it is and immediately come to the carpet when I tap the bell three times. This is super helpful when I need to have them regroup to review expectations or clarify instructions. For the other ones, they immediately freeze and put their hands on their head when I use them. I mix it up to keep it fresh with them. :) We make it into a game at the beginning of the year, and a few weeks in they are quite good at it.<br />
<br />
Other things that I would like to get to try for next year (all are available on amazon):<br />

When I was a practicum student, my cooperating teacher had chimes hanging from the ceiling in her room (at a height that only she could reach). I just love the sound of wooden wind chimes - I think this would be a super calming way to get kids' attention.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As a side note - once I get their attention, I never use a loud voice. I find they listen more the quieter my voice is - even when I start whispering, they are all curious to hear what it is I am trying to say. :)</div>

<br /></div>
I don't know about you, but when I think about the math I did in elementary school it typically involved work books/text books and copying question after question. Needless to say, I didn't particularly love math growing up. Now that I'm a teacher, I try to make math as engaging and as fun as possible - and for my kiddos that means lots of GAMES! I've created these Take Over games and my students LOVE them.<br />
<br />
These games all involve the same skill - adding and subtracting with dice. For my kids, I find they consistently need practice and repetition with this throughout the whole year, so I've created themed versions to take out throughout the year.<br />
<br />
The materials you will need (besides the game!) are dice - you can use two dice or one double dice. My students find the double dice super exciting to use. You will also need some sort of counter in two colours (or more, if kids are playing in larger groups).<br />

10 game boards are included - 5 for addition and 5 for subtraction. They feature the numbers in different spots. The way the game works is:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Students take turns rolling two dice (or one double dice) and adding or subtracting the numbers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
They then cover the number on the board.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If another student rolls the same number, they can take over that spot with their own colour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If a student rolls a number they already own, they can take over a picture.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The game can go on almost indefinitely, so I set a timer (usually 10-15 minutes) and when it goes off, they count how many spaces they own. Whoever has the most is the winner! </div>

Happy new year! I can't believe it's already 2018! I had a wonderful, relaxing holiday. I was able to get lots of work done for my teachers pay teachers store as well - all of my differentiated word problems have been updated with new fonts and some beautiful new clip art! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Just like before, there are three levels of word problems included. Each level includes a page of student sized problems for gluing into their math journals or onto the new workspaces included in this update. There is also a full page sized word problem for each level, which you can use to project onto a SMART board to have students solve digitally, or print as a work mat for multiple kiddos to work around. </div>

Also included in this update are work spaces if you don't use math journals with your kiddos. A space to glue the word problem is included, as well as lots of blank space for them to show their thinking! I've used these, or had my students glue into math journals/loose leaf paper, or I've had them work in groups on a laminated piece of chart paper with dry erase pens to show their learning. :)<br />

The final new addition to this product is a "questions to prompt student thinking" page. I keep this poster on my Math board to use as a reference, both for myself and for my students to use when talking to each other. Since these problems are open-ended, a student can never say "I'm done!" - instead, use these prompts to get them thinking deeper.<br />

Last week I spent quite a bit of time into updating my<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Minimalist-EDITABLE-Watercolour-Teacher-Planner-2639103" target="_blank"> minimalist planner</a> on TPT. This post will be part two of showing what is inside - especially all of the new goodies! To see my previous post, which shows inside the planner in detail, click here:<br />

So, onto what's new! The first thing that I've done is make a few binder spine options in a variety of sizes. I'd recommend using a thicker paper for this so that it can slide into the pocket easily. :) Also, these 1 inch white pocket binders are super cheap at costco - $7 for four, I believe!<br />
<br />

<br />
I also added a dated calendar for the 2017-2018 school year. I will be updating this every year, so you can just redownload the new version for free every year. :) I also made a notes page for the back side of each monthly calendar. Note - I was out of my nice 26lb paper, so I printed this on regular printer paper and it kind of bled through - I'd recommend buying heavier paper so that the ink and any of your pens won't show through.<br />

<br />
I've also included a TON of new lesson planning spreads. For the vertical spreads, I've done three different sizes of boxes - note that if you open the editable file, you can adjust the sizes however you wish. :) These come in 12 colours - one to match each monthly calendar's colour. There's also a black and white option.<br />
<br />

I also redesigned the checklists. They now come in two page spreads, with options for 10, 20, and 30 students. There are colour and black and white versions. There are blank version and several subjects premade.<br />

So, there it is! If you can think of any pages that you would like to see in it, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate your request!<br />

I feel like I'm digging my heels into the ground trying to hold onto my last week of summer vacation.<br />
<br />
HOWEVER, one thing that's got me super excited about getting ready for the new school year is getting organized. I love printing off and filling in my planner pages.<br />
<br />
I recently designed a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Seasonal-EDITABLE-Watercolor-Teacher-Planner-3234157" target="_blank">new planner that is all seasonally themed</a> - meaning each month has different seasonal clip art and colours. I'm so excited to use it.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTtg46kW7JZxrEtN5jXWrfokiPDNBjmjQprUVFb5CoF-tQ3ERLMOxpNJTeC0HZ5NKdVNigGp55pDrYpUKhMdkPGm3TCvxOIMWZ9I1ROjCExco3-rhif5c2DVLwpcCynx2E08n72JjYEY/s1600/IMG_1747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1543" data-original-width="1600" height="616" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfTtg46kW7JZxrEtN5jXWrfokiPDNBjmjQprUVFb5CoF-tQ3ERLMOxpNJTeC0HZ5NKdVNigGp55pDrYpUKhMdkPGm3TCvxOIMWZ9I1ROjCExco3-rhif5c2DVLwpcCynx2E08n72JjYEY/s640/IMG_1747.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Along with all of the pages being seasonally themed, it comes with 8 different seasonal covers. Here are four examples, one for summer, autumn, winter, and spring. :)<br />
<br />

Last year I used a 1 inch binder, and found it kind of heavy to drag around. This year I have downsized to a 1/2 inch binder, and am only going to put the current month in it, along with the other essential pages I need. To give you an idea of the size, this is what it looks like:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And here's a sneak peek inside! I love these monthly planning sheets to keep me organized for the upcoming month.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There are two of these 2-page spreads - one for important dates and one for long-range planning.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiW2NDDdAGw38ZTvAxSkF9HgqrbH8hNhFeCiDjXIkTvf7GnuPX4CN2Cw0wEOVDOnD1OHbttVrRIYvqNCDbO92TBxWzPSUbLWVEl1hTmJzkeBCPBhO9W158iVhg8wqpnBlqyWm0zDpUAfM/s1600/IMG_1728.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1199" data-original-width="1600" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiW2NDDdAGw38ZTvAxSkF9HgqrbH8hNhFeCiDjXIkTvf7GnuPX4CN2Cw0wEOVDOnD1OHbttVrRIYvqNCDbO92TBxWzPSUbLWVEl1hTmJzkeBCPBhO9W158iVhg8wqpnBlqyWm0zDpUAfM/s640/IMG_1728.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Each month comes with a two page planning spread. It's undated, so you can reuse it again and again every year. If you want, you can purchase date stickers at stores like Michaels or on Etsy to put in, if you don't want to write the dates in yourself.<br />

<br />
This is the weekly spread. There are 12 different versions of this to match each of the monthly spreads. I printed off 4 of each month on average to make enough weeks for the school year. :) This example shown is from October:<br />

All of my planner products are fully editable. They include a PDF version that looks exactly like these ones, and a Powerpoint file that you can edit all of the text to look as you wish. :) It also includes both letter sized (which I used) and A5 size.<br />

<a href="https://excitementinelementaryblog.blogspot.ca/2017/02/reaching-all-learners-with.html" target="_blank">PART 1 of this post is here!</a><br />
<br />
Ah, differentiation. A word that gave me a lot of stress when I was doing my student teaching. My understanding was that I would have to plan 20 different lessons to meet all of my students needs. Which seemed like a ton of work.<br />
<br />
As it turns out, there are some tricks to meet all needs in a much more efficient way. I've created these word problems in Math to help my strugglers, my grade level kids, and the ones who need a challenge. Every question is open-ended, which means there are multiple (sometimes infinite!) ways to solve the question. Instead of asking a kid "what it 2+2? ", if you tell them "the answer to a question is 4," they will be thinking critically about what they know about numbers and operations. Plus, I have so many competitive kids that love to challenge their friends to find the most solutions to the questions.<br />
<br />
I typically do one word problem a week - we call it Word Problem Wednesdays in our room. :) We start by looking over the prompts together. Sometimes I let kids choose if they want to do level 1, 2, or 3, and sometimes I assign it. Depending how low your Level 1 group is, you may want to work with them. Note that Level 1 includes no text for your kiddos to read, just pictures and a basic number sentence for them to solve. There is a read aloud portion for you to read to them.<br />
<br />
For each level, there are two versions of the prompt - a large poster size and a small notebook size. I cut the notebook size up and have them glue it in their books. Below are two samples of the same question in Level 1 (where the student used manipulatives to help them represent their learning) and Level 2 where the student solved and wrote a statement. They found two ways to solve, but there could be endless options. I don't always require a written statement, but some kiddos like to write their answers in a story style.<br />
<br />

<br />
The poster size can be projected on your SMART board or can be printed off for groups. My kiddos LOVE this. I have laminated several pieces of chart paper (one for each group) and have the kids sit around it with dry erase pens and solve together. Something about using dry erase markers is just super motivating for kids. ;)<br />

Here's a summary of the three levels. There is a poster size for each level, but I just included one as an example.<br />

I don't know about you, but as a newer teacher, parents make me super nervous. I know I'm have the experience and training to know what I'm doing, but still - I get super nervous and self-conscious whenever I have to interact with them. I also <i>despise</i> talking on the phone, and will do almost anything to avoid it (but I'm working on it! This year I plan to make more phone calls!). As a way to increase my communication with parents, I designed these postcards to send home. They are positively framed, as I believe it is super important to discuss student successes with parents often.<br />
<br />
I pick a few kids and send these home weekly or daily if needed. My kids always get so excited when they get one, and it really helps build my relationships with their parents because they know that I care about what their kiddo is doing.<br />
<br />
This has really had a positive effect on behaviour in my classroom, as kids feel valued and know that I am watching what they are doing. I also don't have to worry about any of these notes going "missing" on the way home, because they are so proud and excited to show their parents. :)<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">Last year I put my planner originally in the Happy Planner rings (I still use the happy planner dividers too) but I didn't like the ring system, so I switched to a 1-inch binder. I found that fairly bulky to carry around last year, so this year I've switched to a 1/2 inch binder (see side profile pic below) and am only going to put the relevant months in at a time and switch them out as it fills up.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">All of my planners include multiple cover options as well, the one below is my favourite!</span><br />

When printing my planners, you'll want to just print out the pages you want. I print double sided, month by month and then do the same with the lesson pages. If you need help printing, definitely message me and I'll do my best to help you out.</div>

It includes a monthly plan page for each month, and a two page monthly spread that is undated so you can use it year after year. I believe you can buy monthly date stickers on Etsy or at Michaels if you are interested in that sort of thing. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #545454; font-family: "source sans pro" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: 0.5px;">It includes all the usual goodies to fill your binder with - checklists for subjects, stationary pages, field trip info, volunteer info, parent contact pages in multiple varieties, and more! There are also cover pages for your dividers for each section. For more pictures, check out the preview on TPT.</span><br />

How is your back to school prep going? I've kind of had my head in the sand all summer, and I go back super soon - so it's time to dig out the planner and curriculum and get going! In this post I'm going to show my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Minimalist-EDITABLE-Watercolour-Teacher-Planner-2626835" target="_blank">Minimalist, Editable, Watercolour Teacher Planner</a> in detail - it's my best selling planner to date. I used it last year and got many compliments on it - this year I have switched to my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Seasonal-EDITABLE-Watercolor-Teacher-Planner-3234157" target="_blank">Seasonal Editable Planner</a>, and I'm excited to use that. :)<br />
<br />
Last year I put my planner originally in the Happy Planner rings (I still use the happy planner dividers too) but I didn't like the ring system, so I switched to a 1-inch binder. I found that fairly bulky to carry around last year, so this year I've switched to a 1/2 inch binder and am only going to put the relevant months in at a time and switch them out as it fills up.<br />
<br />
All of my planners include multiple cover options as well, the one below is my favourite!<br />

When printing my planners, you'll want to just print out the pages you want. I print double sided, month by month and then do the same with the lesson pages. If you need help printing, definitely message me and I'll do my best to help you out.</div>

Now onto the inside! It includes a monthly plan page for each month, and a two page monthly spread that is undated so you can use it year after year. I believe you can buy monthly date stickers on Etsy or at Michaels if you are interested in that sort of thing. </div>

Today I want to share about the difficulty of reaching all learners in your classroom. I don't know about you, but in most of the classes I have had there has been quite a range of levels in reading and math. To help with this, I created open ended, differentiated word problems to help students identify which operations to use, find multiple solutions to a given problem, and work within their ability and move up when needed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've created a set of word problems for each month of the school year in my TPT store, but there is also a free version of the September word problems<a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Open-Ended-Differentiated-Word-Problems-SEPTEMBER-free-sample-2715741" target="_blank"> available here</a> if you would like to check it out. I usually do word Problem Wednesdays in my classroom, so each week I use a different set of problems. To give you an idea of how I use them in my classroom, I'll show you the basics.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each set comes with four different problems, and each problem has three levels. There is also a full sized page for each level, that you can either project onto your SMART board or print off and give to the kids. These pictures are all from my February set, with roses as the subject for Valentine's Day. :)</div>

Sometimes instead of having them glue the problems into their math journals, I have given groups a copy of the large problem for them to write on. This could also be laminated/put in a dry erase sleeve for kids to use dry erase markers on. They love collaborating together on these.</div>

Where did summer go? Even though summer FLEW by, I am feeling rested and motivated to get back into my classroom and to have some routines again (I mayyybbeeee was sleeping in every. single. day.)<br />
<br />
To celebrate back to school season, I am participating in a great link up with <a href="http://mrscolegrovesfourthgrade.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">The Learning Lab</a> blog. Everyone is sharing two resources they have created for B2S - one paid and one FREE!<br />
<br />
For my paid review, I am sharing the planner I created. I know I've talked about it on here before (sorry!) but I am so proud of it. I love how it turned out (so simple and minimalistic) and I have already started filling it in. I loovvveee planning so much. It comes in both A5 size and letter sized. ANNDDD it's on sale this week. Wheeee!<br />

For my freebie, I am sharing some open ended word problems. I have created several different paid versions of this, but in honour of B2S, I've created a freebie version of the September theme. It is open ended and differentiated for all of your learners. :)<br />

I know what you are thinking. The teacher planner of your dreams? You dream of teacher planners? Oh, do I ever. Every school year, I would search online for a teacher planner that met all my needs. I love the Erin Condren planners, but they are so expensive, especially to ship to Canada. And so many of the digital ones are just so...busy? I find I get distracted by too much colour and imagery. So this year, I sat down and decided to design my own. It's simple, clean, and pretty! </div>

Now, I personally don't like carrying around a big binder for a planner. It's just a little too bulky for me. So I did some research this year, and decided to try two alternate methods: the Happy Planner, and the Kikki-k planner. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Option 1: The Happy Planner</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I purchased the Big Happy Planner from Michaels, with a 50% off coupon so it was very inexpensive. I love how it is fully adjustable - you can remove and add pages easily. I removed essentially all of the pages, except for the dividers, and then printed out my planner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You can buy arc punches to do the hole punching on the happy planner, but to save money I just took my $1 single hole punch and did it all myself. You can punch multiple pages at once and it really didn't take much time (or effort).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeyidS8KpQvQXKpWPm9V3OZj7poyQ1YJX8cfbiJ9xwP9dsyfK_Wqg1rKFrrYWMJsL2wPk972QsRpl8Dh0SqfTnQkoT_C3HG8tkVYQskT8JiRzwn5tn9EJdyEJ9NkV0AD9YXx10fzTuYE/s1600/IMG_8134.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAeyidS8KpQvQXKpWPm9V3OZj7poyQ1YJX8cfbiJ9xwP9dsyfK_Wqg1rKFrrYWMJsL2wPk972QsRpl8Dh0SqfTnQkoT_C3HG8tkVYQskT8JiRzwn5tn9EJdyEJ9NkV0AD9YXx10fzTuYE/s320/IMG_8134.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Step 1: Print out planner pages. Use a heavier weight paper than I did for this! This was just regular printer paper but I ended up getting 26lb paper from Staples and it is much nicer. Pens won't bleed through and it's a thicker quality.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4VtTcXnmXHWlAeiR-shv5EkMrmmnpYksK620RPKgty0gsw3wz6DgEMJoOxRou9Bf6hv5fM61TRF-CbqlySAqTtTMQOf9MRUtaY4zXiBlCcqMFS2HuTAoKypDuJ4Kg9dlk0F_8xiPf6Lw/s1600/IMG_8135.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4VtTcXnmXHWlAeiR-shv5EkMrmmnpYksK620RPKgty0gsw3wz6DgEMJoOxRou9Bf6hv5fM61TRF-CbqlySAqTtTMQOf9MRUtaY4zXiBlCcqMFS2HuTAoKypDuJ4Kg9dlk0F_8xiPf6Lw/s320/IMG_8135.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Step 2: Lay a discarded Happy Planner sheet over top of them and secure with clips.<br />

Step 3: Using single hole punch, make a hole where every Happy Planner hole was.<br />

Step 5: Insert pages and enjoy your beautiful new planner! I also made some new labels for some of the dividers I did not want so that they better suited my needs. I made one each for School Info, Planning, Assessment, and Notes. To make these, I used size 14 Century Gothic font and printed on sticker paper. I trimmed them and put them over the existing dividers.</div>

<b><u>Option 2: Kikki-k Planner</u></b><br />
<br />
I ordered this Kikki-k planner when it was on clearance and I love it. The colours are so cute and it is so sturdy. I initially wanted to use it for my teacher planner, so I printed out the A5 version (also included in my download), but to be honest, it was just too small to be practical. So I think I'll still use it as a personal planner in the mean time.<br />
<br />

To put my planner in a Kikki-k binder, I used my paper cutter to trim regular letter paper down to A5 size. I then printed it out and used a hole punch in the same way that I did above.<br />

There you have it, folks! Two inexpensive ways to get creative with your teacher planner. This would of course work with any printable planner. The best part about it (in my opinion!) is that with both ways you can add in pages as you wish. I'm going to add in my school hand book, important hand outs, etc. I'm also planning to make a laminated pocket folder for the Happy Planner, so if you would like to see a tutorial on that please let me know.</div>

Something that I've always wanted to do in my classroom is incorporate both English and French visuals (I'm from Canada, where our official languages are English and French). Growing up, I took French classes, but I've never really developed a thorough understanding of French. I've always thought it would be so useful to be bilingual. For that reason, I really want to try using both languages in the classroom. I made some cards to show the days of the week in both English and French (pictured below).<br />

I figured this would be a fun way to get kids to identify the days of the week in French, and also become comfortable saying "Today is..." in both languages. I also plan to make other French visuals (labels, weather charts, months of the year, etc) to explore this concept further.</div>

Do you use a second language in the classroom? How do you find it works for you? </div>
