Common Core Graphic Organizers {For the Smart Board}

Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted and I must say it has been quite crazy with anxious firsties, planing, OTES, SLO's, and Resident Educator.  I wanted to introduce my newest product [I must say this is the product I am most proud of!!]

With the Common Core, a lot of our old lessons and reading series do not completely align with the common core.  Some things may be easily left out, and with the transitions going on in today's world, it is hard to make sure we are hitting each standard hard while still following our schools' curriculum.   And this is why I created the product.. This product can be used for ANY reading series. At the beginning of the year, I recommend focusing only on a couple skills in the smart notebook file.  As you teach more skills, you can add and take away any skills you feel would be necessary.  All you have to do is reorder them!  My school district uses the Treasure's Reading series.  At the beginning of the year, the skills taught in the series is retell and main idea.  This is why I provided extra activities for these skills so that students don't get bored with the same slides the whole year.  I plan on creating worksheets that correlate with the pack.  You can find my smart notebook file at my Teacher's Pay Teacher's  Store.  Click the photo below to see my store :)
