I'm sorry I didn't see this activity last year because I certainly would have bought and used it. The only thing that I didn't like was the font. For some reason, it's a little distracting. Thank you, Ciera, for always having quality products!

Sarah Beth (TpT Seller) re: Inference Activity
The description of the product was vague and there was no preview, could you tell me more about what the activities are before I purchase?
April 3, 2013
Ciera Harris (TpT Seller)
You will need one of the books listed. I read the book not showing the pictures. The students infer why the animals shouldn't wear the clothing. Example: a porcupine shouldn't wear clothes... (stop for kids to infer) then read and show picture. The pages in the product are for the students to write their own version of the book. Students choose an animal, make an illustration, and write a sentence to mimic the book on why their animal shouldn't wear clothing. The 'Don't' page is for the sentence, the blank page is for the illustration. The 'Can You Infer?' page is to place over their illustration so other students can practice making inferences (I put mine on a bulletin board). I hope this helps!!

Hi Dana! I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble with the jeopardy game. I'm not sure what's wrong. This is the first time someone has mentioned something being wrong. What version of PowerPoint are you using? If its an old version, then it might not work. If you want to give me your e-mail I can try sending it to you via e-mail. Maybe something happened to it when it was downloaded. E-mail me at adventuresofroom129@gmail.com and we'll get this figured out! Thanks! :)

Hi Ciera,
I recently purchased your Inference Activity and I have a couple questions:
1. I noticed below from a another question that the stories are included. However, when I downloaded the file, the stories weren't there.
2. I am unclear how to use the Don't page and the blank page. Can you please clarify.
Thanks.

ironman247 re: Let's Go Grocery Shopping Estimation Lesson
My second graders haven't been introduced to decimals yet. Would they be able to do parts of this lesson? I wasn't able to see the samples to make out if they could. Is there a way that I can modify the PowerPoint and the ending worksheet for my students?

JPax re: Teaching Theme with Movies Tic-Tac-Toe Game (Common Core Aligned)
Great idea! I was looking online for some sort of activity to teach theme and you are the only one I could find that had something! Bought it and I'm excited to have my kids use it next week. Is there anyway I could get a copy of this with a different font though? With some of the letters capital, some lower case, and some with a star, it might be difficult for some of my students to read easily. Thanks for your help!

SallyDen (TpT Seller) re: Inference Activity
I was wondering what common core standard for 2nd grade I could use for this activity???
March 22, 2012
Ciera Harris (TpT Seller)
There isn't a specific common core standard on making inferences for 2nd grade - BUT it IS an "Anchor Standard" from the Common Core for all grades K-5. Here's a quote from the Common Core Website. "The K–5 standards on the following pages define what students should understand and be able to do by the end of each grade. They correspond to the College and Career Readiness (CCR) anchor standards below by number. The CCR and grade-specific standards are necessary complements—the former providing broad standards, the latter providing additional specificity—that together define the skills and understandings that all students must demonstrate."
Key Ideas and Details
1. Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when writing or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text.
Hope that helps!

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I am currently in my 5th year of teaching. I'm a looping teacher and I love every bit of it!

It's hard to define my teaching style. I use a lot of different methods to make sure all of my different types of learners are being addressed.
HONORS/AWARDS/SHINING TEACHER MOMENT
I have yet to receive any honors or awards. I have been awarded many grants in which I have written :)
MY OWN EDUCATIONAL HISTORY
I received a bachelors in elementary education from Ball State University in Indiana as well as a masters in Reading Specialist at Ball State.
ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
As of right now, I live with my husband and my 3 lovely animals. I'm very excited about my life and love what I do :)
