My students LOVE making inferences because they feel like they get to be detectives!! This is a great end of the unit assessment where students read a short description of something that has happened and have to make an inference based on the clues. The first four questions are multiple choice, followed by two fill in the blank questions, and finally the students are asked to fill in a graphic organizer to show how they made their inference. My students loved using their highlighter during th

This assessment is a quick way for students to show their understanding of the difference between rights and responsibilities. This assessment is applicable to students' lives as they're asked to identify rights and responsibilities in the library and the cafeteria. This can also be used as an activity to reinforce the concepts of rights and responsibilities. Each student is asked to draw a picture of themselves being responsible, so it would be great for displaying on a bulletin board as wel

Is your class having a hard time getting along? Do you feel like you're teaching social skills and problem solving OVER and OVER again? This is a fun assessment to see if kids really KNOW the right thing to do and how to solve problems. This assessment will give you an idea of what concept you need to reinforce and which students may need further instruction from the guidance counselor or just further instruction in the classroom. I actually used this assessment in 2nd grade to assess our re

This worksheet will allow students to practice counting pennies, nickels, and dimes. Each question lines up the dimes, nickels, and pennies from highest to lowest value (dimes first, then nickels, followed by pennies).

In 2nd grade I used this powerpoint to help prepare my students to recognize similar sounds in words when the letter combinations didn't match. This is a difficult concept for students, as they often look for the same letters and almost automatically choose matching letters, rather than matching sounds. GREAT PRACTICE BEFORE TESTING!

This assessment focuses on the Woodland tribes and the Plains Indian tribes Students are asked to categorize key words as either pertaining to Plains Indians culture or Woodland Indians culture.

This is great to hand out to parents at the beginning of the year! It explains your classroom policies, procedures, rules, expectations, etc. This is a word document that you can go in and customize to fit your classroom. Once you download and print, you should be able to copy so it's two sided and folds up into a small booklet. Parents can use this as a resource throughout the year.

This assessment allows students to show their ability to tell time to the quarter hour. The beginning of the test requires students to match time intervals (quarter hour, half hour, etc.) to their corresponding duration (30 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.). There is also a true false portion of the test containing 4 questions followed by 8 fill in the blank questions. The fill in the blank portion of the test also challenges students to record another way to record that time. For example, if the t

A text-self connections activity that can be used after reading any book. Students make connections on the heart, then cut them out and attach them to colored hearts, slightly larger than the white heart. Then you can add decorations to the heart. Glitter looks especially festive! This makes a great bulletin board. I always titled it "We Love Making Connections."
