Do you have a Writer's Eye?

Do you have a Writer's Eye?

A great way to help your sweeties during the writing process is to help remind them to use their WRITER'S EYE!
I created my own BEE-U-TIFUL Western Themed Posters on TPT for my class. 
(Note: I will be creating other themes soon too!).



There are nine posters in this pack. Each colorful poster has an example sentence and picture to help your students.
The nine posters include:
*I see CAPITAL LETTERS
*I see PUNCTUATION
*I see FINGER SPACES
*I see NEAT WRITING
*I see LOWERCASE LETTERS
*I see DETAILS
*I see sentences IN ORDER
*I see correct spelling from the WORD WALL
*I see a BEGINNING, MIDDLE, and END

A Writer's Eye Checklist is included in this pack too!! Your students can keep the checklist in their writing folders to help them during the writing process.

How to Safely Share YouTube Videos with SafeShare




I am so excited there is a way to safely show YouTube videos in my class without without worrying about the ads and inappropriate content that may pop up in the beginning!!!

SafeShare is a website that takes YouTube videos and gets rid of almost ALL of the advertisements and inappropriate content around the main video. Safeshare even removes the ads that are often showed before popular videos.  All you do is copy the YouTube link and paste it into Safeshare.tv (see image below). Then you are given a new link to use instead of the YouTube link. 
Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy!




Below is a tutorial on how to convert a YouTube video into a Safeshare video.
It's so EASY!
