183; chef alexis. 183; orchard girls. Pumpkin Apple Strudel Muffins! November 25, 2014. This combination of flavors is a perfect way to celebrate the fall season or even the ending of it. Use fresh ingredients, you can really tell the difference! When I originally made this recipe, I used the pumpkin “guts” after carving and pureed them with a tablespoon of sugar. The best part of this recipe is that long ago, it came from my great friend Kenzie over at Orchard Girls. 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour. I'm jo...

The Hungry Teacher: Guided Reading and Small Groups in Middle School PART III: Lessons and Novel Units
http://mrscahillsclass.blogspot.com/2016/01/guided-reading-and-small-groups-in_16.html
Saturday, January 16, 2016. Guided Reading and Small Groups in Middle School PART III: Lessons and Novel Units. If you want to read my first two posts, click here for Part I. I am back with part 3 of this series on guided reading and small group in middle grades. This one is kind of different than the other two, but I think it is still relevant. I wanted to explain what I do during my lessons and how they then lead into my small group time. Anyway, I have about 100-110 minutes with each class for ELA.

Sunday, July 31, 2016. Teachers Who Cook PArt III: Go-To Recipes. We are back with our final post and it's probably the one many of you have been waiting for: "Go-To" recipes! I will be honest and say that I didn't exactly know how I would go about this post, because 1/2 of my recipes each week are things I just make all the time and the other 1/2 are new or kind of harder recipes that I use my cookbooks for. So. I am just going to give you a good mix of recipes and/or links/cookbooks for recipes. Third,...

Sunday, January 10, 2016. Guided Reading and Small Groups in Middle School PART I. As someone who is always looking for ways to integrate best elementary teaching practice into my upper grade/middle school classroom, I wanted to share how my small group routine has evolved as I have learned how to be a middle school teacher. I'm just going to jump right in because I am a master rambler :). My ELA Routine (Twice a Day). Collections (my ELA curriculum) Lesson. Round 1 (small group and Daily 5). I realized ...

Friday, September 23, 2016. Writing Authentic Narratives in Middle School. I recently finished writing Narratives with my 7th and 8th graders. I started planning for it weeks in advance because I wanted my students to have good, strong narratives. Here is what planning looked like at first ha! Ironically, at the end of this, you will see that I actually come full circle on this. It's usually a wrap up assignment or something we do during the chapters when Killer Kane first makes his appearance. It's ...

The Hungry Teacher: Classroom Organization in the Upper Grades {Part 1 of 5}
http://mrscahillsclass.blogspot.com/2016/12/classroom-organization-in-upper-grades.html
Tuesday, December 27, 2016. Classroom Organization in the Upper Grades {Part 1 of 5}. I have been compiling all my organization tips and tricks I have learned from switching grades, schools, and set-ups. You can always click on the "Organizational Resource". Images to be taken to the full resource in my TPT store. I have compiled all my organizational tips and tricks into an easy to use PDF/e-book (I'm not sure I'm fancy enough to call it an e-book, but I think that's what you'd call it).

Sunday, January 29, 2017. The Socratic Seminar Part: Research in Practice {PART 1 OF 3). I have received tons of requests to do a blog post or a video about the Socratic Seminar. I keep spacing the whole video thing, but I hope that I can do that this when I am teaching middle school. I will have 5 different classes to choose from! There are also some videos on youtube: Just search Socratic Seminar classroom discussion and you will find some! What is the Socratic Seminar? Technically, my charter school d...

Wednesday, November 18, 2015. How I'm Surviving 6th Grade :). I've gone through more changes, in the last few months, than I probably have in my entire life. That being said, I think one of the seemingly smallest (yet, actually biggest) changes I made was switching from 5th to 6th. In the same switch, I moved across the state, and into a large school district. I came from a small charter school, so this is a whole new world. 1 I have had to pick what I 100% believe in and not back down. Stick with what y...

Monday, May 30, 2016. So You're Moving Classrooms. Whether you are moving for the 27th time and you just want to crawl in one of your bins and cry. Or you are moving for the first time and you still want to crawl in one of your bins and cry, this post is for you. I've been there. Moving sucks. no matter what capacity you have to move. Houses, schools, classrooms, hallways. waaaahhhhhhh. It all makes me want to cry too. I got to stay in my first classroom for two years (whoop whoop! And now I am moving sc...
