**My lesson plan template can be purchased through Ms. M’s blog. They are aptly called, “Erica.“
I wanted to do something to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. this week. Thank you Sarah Cooley for your adorable unit. You saved the day! I wish I had time to do the full birthday party, it looks like so much fun.
Our phonic element for the week is -ar. I like to do a mini-pirate theme along with the phonic element. In my plans, I have included units by Abby, Jodi, Anna, and me.
I have included this listening center log as a freebie in my visual plans. It is the last page of the plan packet.
A few of my math centers this week:
For more on pirates, check out my post from last year by clicking the image below.
Every week, I send home a “Classroom News” page. It is a lot of work when you first start, but as the years go by, I have gotten pretty fast at it and I just copy and paste the “Peek at the Week” from the previous years.
If you are not ready to do a weekly news letter, my long-lost shopping sister/friend Michelle Oakes sells a monthly editable one. I really feel it is important to keep parents in the loop. Click below to check it out.
Thanks for all who entered the “Share the Love” contest!

Have a great week!

You are welcome!
Thanks girl!!! I really need to jump on this visual plan thing!!
LOVE your visual plans!!! I agree with you about the weekly newsletters…kind of a pain but SO worth it. I used to wonder if anyone actually read them, but this year, parents actually ask for them if their child lost or forgot their newsletter. Yay…a breakthrough!!!

Hi Erica! I love your weekly newsletter format. Do you sell that template anywhere? I would love to use that for my classroom. Thanks so much.
