If I had $100... Creative Writing Prompt
Lovely Lauren says,
You've got to grab this great writing prompt for the 100th day of school! To celebrate all things 100, I thought giving your students $100 dollars would suffice! :)
Brainstorm with children what they would do with $100 dollars and just see what kind of creative responses you get!
Your kids will have to chance to have their face on a $100 bill! They could draw themselves, or you can take a picture of them and attach it for some added pizzaz!

Open House Display Idea for Upper Grades - Six Word Memoirs
So many times, teachers of upper grades struggle with some creative idea to display student work for Open Houses or Parent Conferences. Recently, a series of books has been published based on the idea of a six-word memoir. Larry Smith and Rachel Fershleiser's books include six-word memoirs from writers "famous and obscure", including one by teens called I Can't Keep My Own Secrets, and the original collection, entitled Not Quite What I Was Planning.

Kid Writing Crowns Mini Cheat Sheet
Kid Writing advocates the use of "Kid Crowns" (visual aids to help children remember sight words, spelling patterns, consonant blends, digraphs, etc.), but I found actual crowns are disruptive and time consuming. I hang large posters in my room as each crown is introduced. This mini version lists common crowns on 1 small page (1/3 of an 8 1/2" x 10" piece of printer paper). It can be placed in students' writing folders.
