The item that I provided in the giveaway is my common core writing/editing checklists.  This is what is included:

1: A CUPS page that addresses language standards for grades K-5. This is a great way to show the teacher areas that need to be retaught, reinforced, or accelerated.

2: 4 standards based checklists for: opinion, narrative, informative, and research papers for grades 1-5. Again, a great way to see what they need to know, what they are lacking in and how to challenge them.

3: A 3,2,1 peer editing sheet. Peers share 3 things that they like about the writing, 2 questions that they had while reading, and 1 suggestion to improve the writing. Students are not only told the negatives about their writing.

4: A student reflection and goal setting sheet. Students can reflect on each piece of writing. The goal setting sheet has a place for the teacher to check off when the goal has been met.

5: A teacher sheet with the standards for the 4 types of writing. The checklist is divided up into 3 sections: Fall, Winter, Spring. These are for all standards grades 1-5. First grade students will not be responsible for all that are on the list, but you may have some that need a challenge. I suggest highlighting the areas that your students are responsible for (their grade level and the ones prior) to help you. This is a great piece to show evidence of their writing growth.

My best selling reading activity is my Independent Reading Goal Setting product.  Students set monthly independent reading goals for books *finished*.  They also have an opportunity to reflect on their goals each month.  Students collect bookmarks for each book that they finish.   On these bookmarks, students write a quick summary of the book and whether they recommend that book for others to read.  I have used this in my classroom for 3 years now and my students really enjoy it.  
Our classroom chart to graph our reading goals

Students keep track of their own goals


Bookmarks that students collect to show off the books that they have read.  They LOVE counting these!
