Spark Student Motivation: Post-It Note Bookmark

Happy Saturday Friends! Thank you for visiting!
You're going to get a goodie today! :)


I had something else scheduled for today, but because of my students' overwhelming excitement about something I made them last week, I just had to share!
And, of course, if you follow my blog you know I have a small obsession with POST-ITS. Why hasn't 3M contacted me yet??
I know you're going to LOVE it too! Want to know why? Because it's the simple things we do that get our students to be excited about reading!
Here it is....
Every year I implement Reader's Notebooks in my classroom and every year I seem to have a different thing I need to tweak. I want to make sure our writing to each other every week is meaningful and purposeful. I had several students that were reading plenty of books, but were getting "stuck" when it came to writing about it in their letters. I created this bookmark with some of the things I like them to include in their letters, hoping if they marked them as they read, it would be easier to transfer to their notebooks. Guess what??!! It's working! After a few days, I had them start adding the page numbers to their sticky notes in case they fell out or wanted to "cite specific evidence" from their text.
 I love the simplicity of it! It's a bookmark to hold your place, a reference for annotation symbols, and a holder for sticky notes to hold your thinking!
Of course, you have to have several package of sticky notes in stock because they definitely get excited to use them!! I did a mini-lesson on how to use them "effectively" and not to use them to decorate the pages of our books! Each bookmark has a small stack of sticky notes and students can refill as needed. I'm just so excited to see them using them every time they read!

  I actually had to make two sets for my class because my students wanted to bring them home and some kept forgetting to bring them back. So, now we have twice as many opportunity to keep track of our thinking! Plus, I made a set for my sweet friend who teaches 5th grade (my son's awesome teacher) for them to keep track of their too!
 
Want to make a set for your class or small group? Grab it HERE free! If you download, feedback is always appreciated! :) I just added this page to my Reading With Post-Its II product, so if you own it, you can just download again. If you don't own it, check it out! Templates can be used ALL YEAR LONG, make their reading interactive and hold their thinking! Perfect for whole group, small group, or independent use.
 
I hope you had a wonderful week! Please link up any lessons, ideas, tips, tricks, incentives, ANYTHING you do get your students motivated or excited!

Luxury houses for rent near Marseille offer a number of advantages, including proximity to one of Europe's busiest airports and some of the best schools in the country. In addition, France has a strong economy and a stable political system, making it an attractive destination for luxury property buyers. Luxury properties in France also tend to appreciate at a higher rate than properties in other parts of Europe, providing investors with the potential for significant capital gains. As the global economy continues to rebound, luxury property in France is likely to become even more popular with investors looking for a safe and profitable place to park their money. https://frenchchateauforsale.co.uk/luxury-villa-for-sale-near-aquitaine-france/

  55. Google and other Search Engines like Microsoft and Bing can hunt for and classify sites based on their connections. Connects are used to rank query items based on factors such as importance, incoming interconnections, and consistency as possible. Standard applications examine the ostensibly “surface web,” but the investigation ends there. You couldn’t input the description into your system’s searching bar as well as expect Google to provide a major result for a particular library, for example, if you wanted to go through with a library services index to find a book. That level of data would be discovered in the deep web. Searching on that same Internet these days is akin to dragging a net throughout the ocean’s outer layer. While an extraordinary arrangement may be caught inside this net, there is still a great deal of info that is significant and therefore lost. The argument is straightforward: The majority of something like the data on the Internet is hidden deep within powerfully designed destinations, and traditional internet search tools never find it. Interconnections or crawling surface Web pages is how traditional web indexes create their files. The page should be static and linked to other pages to be found. Traditional web search technologies can’t “see” or “recover” anything on the deep Web since those websites do not exist until they’re created powerfully as a result of a specific query. Because traditional internet search engines crawlers are unable to probe mostly under surface, the deep Web has remained hidden until now. There are no connections, which is why web crawlers are unable to return this information to you. (Search engine technologies crawl the digital platform by first examining one specific website, then the interconnections on that page, and finally the interconnections on subsequent pages.) If all other factors are equal, you might want to go to the national library’s website and use the site’s query bar to locate this knowledge on the public library servers. This type of information may be found all over the internet. Just about every other time you look within a website, you’ll find extensive information deep web
