This idea is wonderful in and of itself, however, I took and made it applicable for our social studies teacher's economics unit in which the students will sell a product that they produce. I am giving them your option or taking the concept of their product and using your idea to spearhead what they do for business days. Thanks so much.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
EMILY LOUWSMA (TpT Seller) re: Labor Day : 5 Reading Activities for Middle School
Hi there-- would this activity be suitable for a 6th grade ELA classroom with students who scored a 3 on the FCAT reading? I would love to tie in lessons about Labor Day around the holiday... especially if the lesson involves informational text like that which will be on the PARCC!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes, it's suitable for 6th and it's written in an informational style. There is a vocab page to learn the harder words in the text.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
I have been working in education since 1995. I have taught everything from post-secondary vocational education, to two year olds with autism. I firmly believe that the only way to stay fresh and sane is to work smarter, not harder! The students should be working hard, not the teachers. In my early days, I would spend countless hours creating lessons that I now can buy on Teachers Pay Teachers for a few bucks. Save yourself time and enjoy your life!
