Next On Broadway...

We have been practicing our oral reading abilities with a terrific kit from Lakeshore Learning, called Readers' Theatre.

The students absolutely...LOVE...it!

It is a kit with several different topics. Each topic has four cards with four different speaking parts (already highlighted for each person, Neat!)

We are always working on the FACES of being a good reader (Fluency, Accuracy, Comprehending, Expanding our vocabulary, and Stamina), these kits are fantastic for that.

First the students do a "cold" read. A cold read is when you read something you have never read before. You are decoding and chunking and slow. Next the students do a "hot" read. A hot read is when you have read something before, and you are able to fly through it.

Some of the students took it a little further and added a little "flair." I swear...some of them are ready for the bright lights of Broadway!

Hello there!
Welcome to Flying With the Frogs...a website highlighting all the wonderful activities that we do in third grade at Indian Trail Elementary School.

I have been teaching for 25 (!!!) years. You can say that I am a well-rounded teacher, as I have taught 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I have had the awesome opportunity to teach gifted students as well as ELL and special needs students.

I am an award winning teacher! I have the honor of being a 2016 state of Illinois Those Who Excel, Teacher of the Year finalist. I am in the top ten teachers in the state of Illinois!

I am passionate about teaching. I love to engage my students in a variety of differentiated activities and love to share them here with you!
