Bat Informational Texts {The Learning Chambers}

Happy Monday y'all!  It's Stephanie from The Learning Chambers and I can't wait to share my newest informational text pack with you guys.  I actually just finished it last night!


I absolutely love writing informational texts because I get to read and learn new facts that I didn't know.  Did you know that bumblebee bats are an inch in width?  That's so interesting to me!!


This pack includes four different texts and each of them is on a different reading level.  That makes it great to differentiate.  The levels include DRA level 40, 38, 34, and 28.  With the higher levels, I love reading them with my students but I do have a few that can read them on their own.


Each text includes three different printable pages with comprehension questions.  The first is a fact writing sheet, the second has comprehension questions, and the third focuses on main idea and details.  Perfect to help your students work on their written responses after reading a text.


I also included a page for each text that you can use to check fluency during a running record.  Those have been super helpful to me!


The best part is that I'm adding three more bats this week and will have them completed by October 3.  Grab them now and you'll be able to re-download when I add the new bat texts.


This bat informational text pack will be on sale for $1 for the next 3 days (September 28th - 30th only).  Click on the product cover above to see it in my store.

Book Reports for Young Readers and Writers



Well, I’m sure the school year is off and running for all of us by now and that means that we are busy, busy, BUSY!  I’m teaching Transitional Kindergarten this year so I’m off on a new adventure.  Luckily my family is taking up the slack at home.  It's not uncommon for me to walk in the door to dinner on the table- yes, I'm a lucky gal!

Last year I had some fabulous readers in my kindergarten class so I came up with a fun way for them to share about the books they were reading.  BOOK REPORTS!  


These also worked great for the kiddos who were still having books read to them.  I know that I didn't invent book reports, but I did make them easy for Kindergartners and First Graders to complete.

Look at all the Common Core Standards that are covered!

The book reports are for both fiction and non-fiction texts.  Kids can draw pictures or answer with words, whatever works best for them.  These are designed for younger kids, but if you think that your older kids could benefit from them, then by all means, give them a try.  They are only $1, so it’s worth the gamble.  




There is also a sheet for an Author Study and one for Sequencing.  These work great incorporated into your units of study.






And if you are looking for something that’s FREE- look no further!  I have cute labels that I use in my centers to help kids choose an activity.  They can choose to work alone, with a partner, or with a small group and they can tell just by looking at the label on the bin, what kind of activity it is.


These labels have simplified my life.  The classroom runs much more smoothly and the kids function much more independently.  Click here to grab the labels and give them a try.  

Wishing all my fellow teachers out there a great school year.
Happy September!

Kinder/First Writing Posters



Hi Sweet Friends!

It's Abbey from A Teacher Mom!  As always I am here on the 9th of the month with some $1 deals for you to enjoy!

This month I am sharing some writing mini-posters that can help any classroom that teaches personal narrative, opinion, and informational writing.  These were made for Kinders, but could be used in first grade easily!

There are 2 poster packs for personal narrative writing.  The first leads more toward the set up phase and the second really delves in to the personal narrative genre.
