I'm looking forward to using this packet. I only wish there were more basic comprehension questions for use during the reading. The activities are very useful and cover everything I need to teach.

Ruth S. (TpT Seller)
Hi Musicteacher99! Thank you so much for purchasing my Number the Stars packet! Your comment is very helpful and gives us ideas for improvements to our packets. I haven't had any requests for comprehension questions during the three years I've been selling this packet, but I'll make a note of it. :) Just so you know, if any TpT teachers make modifications to a lesson you've purchased, you'll get a note telling you about it. You can upload the modified packet with no charge. Have a wonderful year!

Hi snowglobe! I love your name! I have a packet of Snow Globes in my store that I love doing with my students around the holidays. Thank you for purchasing my Number the Stars packet. The ready to print worksheets are perfect for small groups, pairs and whole group lessons. I also assign some for homework and use others for assessments. The open ended type of questions are great for brainstorming sessions! Thank you for your comment and rating!

Hi maahhiyshah! I created these ready to print worksheets so my students could brainstorm for answers when they're working in small groups. I also use some for assessments and can easily modify them for different ability levels when necessary. Thank you for purchasing them and for your comment and rating :)

I am interested in the Number the Stars packet, but do not see where there are assessments aligned with the common core. Is that part of the packet? Thanks. Lynn
December 18, 2012
Ruth S. (TpT Seller)
Hi Lynn. The worksheets in my Number the Stars packet are designed to be used with small groups with each small group working collaboratively to "dig deep" into the novel, to find the best answers. I always require they support their answers with evidence from the novel. Once the groups are finished, I have a spokesperson from each group share the groups answers with the large group. This initiates wonderful, thought provoking discussions.
I uploaded this packet to TpT before the Common Core was adopted by the states, so it's not listed as being CC aligned, however, checking the Core standards and hearing from coworkers and teachers who have used the sheets, most activities are aligned. Formal assessments with answers aren't included if that's what you're looking for. Hope this helps! Thank you for asking. :)

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been an elementary and middle school teacher for over 25 years in Connecticut. I also served on the Weekly Reader National Teacher Advisory Board as the Connecticut State Rep and appeared on "Good Morning, America" in 1993, to celebrate the 65th anniversary of Weekly Reader. I worked closely with the other state representatives and Weekly Reader's editorial, graphic arts and marketing departments. I was a NASA/Lockheed Martin Mission Systems "Student Signatures in Space" teacher for ten years. My students, Board of Ed, staff and others signed NASA posters that accompanied astronauts during space missions aboard the space shuttles. One of the posters was signed by all students in our school, teachers, parents and the Board of Ed. It returned from space, and was hung in the school's Media Center.
