All About Me – Back to School Project

Hi Friends…

I wanted to share one of my FAVORITE Back to School activities with you!  Every year I LOVE creating an All About Me Project for my kiddos to work on.  It makes a stunning Back to School Night bulletin board display and the parents just LOVE LOVE LOVE it!!!  

This past year I created an All About Me Tab-Its Booklet and my kiddos LOVED it.  They especially LOVED that they could choose their own child clip art that looked like them and illustrate it the way they liked.  It was such a fun activity and the bulletin board display looked amazing!  Check out some of the pictures below…

All About Me Tab-Its Booklet

On each of the pages of the All About Me Tab-Its® booklet the students had to write different things about themselves.

  • FACTS page: The students had to write their birthday, age, their best friend, what they want to be when they grow up and why they are special.
  • FAVORITES page: On this page, the students got to write some of their favorite things!
  • FAMILY page: The students drew a picture and wrote about their family on this page.
  • FUN page: Here the students enjoyed writing and drawing three things they like to do for fun.

One of the students’ favorite parts is that they get to choose a piece of child clip art and illustrate it to look like themselves.  They came out soooooo cute!

Check out the bulletin board display for our All About Me project!  How CUTE do these look!!!!!

Last year we made an All About Me Lapbook.  I like to change things up from year to year to keep it fresh and fun.

Check out my All About Me Lapbook that we did last year!

Guided Readers

The Fastest Route to Guided Reading Success

The All About Me project can be a reminder that with such a diverse group of little learners, teaching can be a complicated task. That’s why I’m SO excited to introduce to you a highly effective tool for your Guided Reading instruction! Guided Readers helps you address 21st century literacy skills with your students. This is NOT your average online guided reading program full of fluff and fill-in-the-blank lesson plans! Are you experienced with Guided Reading groups, or are you just getting started? Either way, Guided Readers gives you EVERYTHING you need to make your Guided Reading groups more streamlined and effective.

Guided Readers is a comprehensive online Guided Reading program; it gives you everything you need to help build and strengthen students’ literacy skills in phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, and guided writing. The Digital Interactive Reader helps students with decoding and comprehension skills as they listen to and engage with stories. With Guided Readers, students can listen to the stories being read aloud. They can also record their own reading to improve their oral comprehension, decoding and fluency. In addition, the Teacher Portal allows you as the teacher to listen to and assess student recordings. You can also access quiz scores to assess student comprehension.

The Guided Readers program provides access to hundreds of professionally leveled guided reading texts (F & P and Lexile), lesson plans, and word work instruction. There are 3 affordable program plans, now at special introductory prices!
