Welcome to The Savidge Teacher!


Hello!

My name is Emily Savidge and I am a passionate educator who is continuously reading, listening, and learning in order to improve my pedagogies and craft in order to become the best teacher for my students. I believe strongly that students need to be given time and choice to read and write in order to become better readers and writers. I believe in using authentic texts to teach standards and engage students. I hope this blog becomes a place where I can share my ideas with other teachers, connect with like-minded educators, and further grow in my pedagogy. 

I hope you're along for the ride!

-Emily

2021 Vision Board-FREEBIE

Image
Every year when December 31st comes around I sit down and reflect upon my goals for the year. I love seeing how far I've come and realizing that sometimes the goals I set 365 days ago no longer apply. After reflecting, I set new goals for the year. I make sure that my goals are realistic and align with my values. Then I do my favorite thing. I create a digital vision board. I grab images that represent my goals and help me truly visualize my life once I accomplish these goals. Finally, I print out the vision board and place it somewhere where I will look at it everyday.  After completing my vision board for 2021 I thought, why don't I have my students create their own goals and vision boards? I didn't really have a good answer so I created  the Digital Goal Setting and Vision Board Activity! It walks students through creating their own goals and then finding images to go with their goals. I can't wait to use this with my students when we head back to school on Monday! I

The Olympics Test Review

Oh the state test... We all have opinions about them but nonetheless our students take these assessments and it is our job to make sure they are prepared. I decided that we would spend the week before the test reviewing vocabulary and the types of questions they would see on the assessment. But to be honest, that sounds boring so I spent Spring Break wracking my brain for a way to make this review fun. I wanted something that was low prep but would yield high results from my students and make them want to come to school. And that my friends is when I came up with the 2021 Purple Team Olympics. In short, students would work together to read a passage or 2 everyday and answer some questions. Following, they would compete in an olympic sport and win medals. This was a perfect activity because it took half of our class each day and we continued our normal independent reading time and read aloud during class as well, a must for me.  Day 1:  Students chose their teammates, picked a country,
