This was a fun unit to do with my 3rd graders - our textbook has one lesson on quadrilaterals, and they just can't keep all of them straight after one lesson! This unit provided the practice and exploration that they needed to really "get it". :)

I gave my students the #1 Math Review and I have a question about Question #9. The correct answer is not given as a choice. However, on the answer sheet the correct answer is there. The choices are completely different on the answer sheet than on the test page. Just thought you might want to know.

I purchased this from you, but noticed a mistake on the key and thought I would let you know so you could fix it and update the file. :)
"Fractions Unit Review" worksheets pages 45-48.
Problem #8, the answer sheet says the answer is C, but it should be D. Also, maybe a suggestion would be to have 1/2=2/4 rather than 2/4=1/2 so it will line up with the picture. The answer is wrong on pg. 64 of the pdf. I have really enjoyed using this resource for my students!

There is a two-page vocabulary practice activity and a two-page vocabulary test for each story in Unit 4, so a total of 20 pages, plus an answer key. Students use the vocabulary words in various ways, such as matching word with definition, using the word to write a caption for a picture, using vocabulary words to complete cloze sentences, etc.

I read your blog about pullouts. I have 39 years in. Yes it is frustrating. I cut the assignments in half. Social Studies isn't common core so I don't worry about that. I have High School TA's, or reliable parent, or you tube help to catch kids up on what they have missed. Also depends on the severity of the child's learning disability. You have to pick your battles. Good luck.

eholley re: Quadrilaterals Unit
I'm curious ... why didn't you include paralleograms in your quadrilaterals unit?
November 12, 2012
Jan Lindley (TpT Seller)
I have taught parallelograms as part of my lessons on quadrilaterals in the past, and that was my inclination. However, as I studied the Common Core standards, I noticd that parallelograms are not mentioned. I made the quadrilaterals unit to align with Common Core standards, and included only what was in those standards.

jarvisatschool re: Possessive Nouns
We are in a small private school. There are 14 third graders in one class and 15 third graders in another class. Do we need to buy 2 licenses? We will probably use this information with our classes next year. Please advise - also, do we need to purchase a new license each year?
great packet!! we have purchased one and will be happy to purchase the other if necessary!
Thank you for the answer and a way to save!

Yes, you will need to purchase a license for each classroom. If you buy them at the same time, the second is 50% off regular price. You will not need to purchase it again for next year. Once you have purchased the license to use the product, you can re-use it in your own classroom year after year.
Thank you for your feedback. I hope your students enjoy the activities!

Would you consider bundling your multiplication worksheets (you have packets for x3, x4,x5, etc.)? I have a group of kiddos this year that need that rote practice in worksheets, and I would love to purchase your products in one big bundle. I have bought several other of your products in the past, and they were great! Thanks for your consideration.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
As an elementary teacher for 34 years, I have struggled with a lack of quality materials that provide the necessary practice for concept mastery. It has been my experience that many textbooks and commercially produced materials do not provide the depth of practice and repetition required for student mastery. I have been writing most of my own supplemental materials for years, striving to meet the needs of students who need more than one or two exposures to a concept in order to achieve mastery. My many years in the classroom have provided me opportunities to work with changing curriculum standards and increasing demands for student performance. I have worked with second and third graders throughout my career and have a very solid understanding of the learning process and the needs of young students.
MY TEACHING STYLE
My teaching style is my own. I do not know a label that would be fitting. I believe in supporting learners, while not doing for them anything that they can do for themselves. I use a lot of scaffolding-i.e.,explicit teaching, followed by a lot of guided practice, then a lot of independent practice. I believe that time on task is crucial to mastery. I strive to create a learning atmosphere is warm and friendly, but at the same time businesslike, and "no-nonsense." I believe that the most effective way to build students' self-esteem, is to help them master the skills and concepts they need to be successful.
