This creative Cool Sunshades Self Portraits: Art Unit was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on the big screen.

For this assignment, I asked students to make a Cool Sunshades Self Portrait, celebrating the joy of themselves. Students create a self-portrait of themselves, but they don’t need to worry about drawing their eyes-we will have cool sunshades covering them. The sunshades will have designs and details that also help describe themselves to others. Materials will be mainly colored pencils and crayons. This is a 4–5-day assignment.

I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy!

A complete and differentiated phonics and grammar curriculum geared toward 1st-3rd grade!

Here's a breakdown of the curriculum:

Phonics:

• Weeks 1-33: Spelling Based on Phonics Sounds

  • Each week focuses on a specific phonics sound. The scope and sequence of the phonics sounds being taught are sequential and build on prior knowledge. Students engage in spelling activities related to the chosen sound.

• Four Weekly Phonics Work

  • Students have four different phonics exercises each week. These exercises are designed to reinforce the targeted phonics sound.

• Three Differentiated Spelling Groups

  • Groups are categorized as Sun (below grade level), Clouds (at grade level), and Moons (above grade level). Each group corresponds to a different level of difficulty. This allows for tailored instruction to meet individual student needs.

Grammar:

• Weeks 1-33: Grammar Based on Common Core Standards

  • Each week focuses on a specific grammar concept aligned with Common Core standards for 1st to 3rd grade.

• Four Daily Edits

  • Students work on four different daily editing exercises. These exercises are tied to the weekly grammar focus.

• Spiraling of Previously Taught Grammar Standards

  • Regular review and reinforcement of previously taught grammar concepts. This ensures a cumulative understanding of grammar throughout the school year.

Overall Structure:

• This curriculum spans a full school year, providing a systematic approach to phonics and grammar instruction.
• Differentiation is a key element, with three levels of spelling groups and tailored grammar activities. This helps address the diverse needs of students.
• The curriculum aligns with Common Core standards, ensuring that students are exposed to and master grade-appropriate language skills.

Suggestions for Implementation:

1. Regular Assessments: Include regular assessments to gauge student progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Spelling lists are included and it is suggested a weekly spelling assessment given to gauge understanding of the phonics skill.
2. Parental Involvement: Communicate the curriculum objectives to parents and encourage their involvement in supporting their child's learning at home.

By incorporating these elements, your phonics and grammar curriculum can provide a robust and engaging learning experience for 1st to 3rd-grade students.

A brand new follow up to the Rainbow Recorder series, the 2K15 series!

This version of Rainbow Recorder focuses on 9 original compositions that your new (and even advanced) recorder students will love. We bring it back to the beginning and learn how to connect the lines and spaces on the staff to note names and have students begin to memorize the notes, rather than the letters. We gradually scaffold into more difficult music by adding on new notes and rhythms.

Included, you will receive a 9 page PDF file (reproducable for your students or as a teacher guide) and 9 accompaniment tracks for each "belt". Your students are GUARANTEED to love these with lots of original hip hop background tracks (you would never know how cool playing a whole bunch of A's and B's are until you play along to this!) ;) Beginning at the Purple series, there is a beginning and advanced mp3 in case you have a superstar student who wants to tackle the advanced version (which is about 25 bpm faster than the regular version)

An alternate version with the note names are available, please contact me at jasonlitt@gmail.com if you'd like that as well.

As always, please feel free to let me know if you have any questions and enjoy!
