Four reasons to use reader's theater scrips in the classroom *Freebie!
This one's kind of DUH! We want reading to be enjoyable and reader's theater is a great way to do that! Look at how engaged these readers are!
Then she put the scripts in her Read to Someone station. Are these readers adorable or what?
Want to see a play in action? Check out my poor, abused hunnybun in our Easter Partner Plays video!
You can grab my Winter Partner Plays at TPT
Thanksgiving Partner Plays at TPT.
Christmas Partner Plays at TPT, too! I got a little excited - love the holidays!

Bright Ideas: A Blast From the Past!
November's Bright Ideas post is very unique. Instead of being a million brand-new bright ideas, we're giving you a change to browse through some of the great bright ideas from the last ten months that you might have missed!
The Bright Ideas posts are great places to get interesting and useful tips and ideas to use in your classroom without having to download anything! No freebies, no products, and no hard drive space involved! Just good teaching and great tips.
These are my Bright Ideas posts from the last year. Check them out and maybe you'll find something new to try out!
Setting Behavioral Goals is a great way to get kids thinking about their own goals for behavior while encouraging teamwork, too!
I love my color-coded Response Rings for checking for understanding. I hope you love them, too!
Personal Editing Checklists are a differentiated tool to help individual students develop a sequence for editing their own writing!
