These are perfect! I printed and color and laminated to use for years to come! My students loved these!
This was an absolutely wonderful resource for helping my students classify statements as observations or inferences. I teach fourth grade, so I did pull some of the cards that may have been considered too mature or scary but even with those taken out I had plenty for the students to sort and then discuss. As we discussed them, the students really got the idea of the difference between the two and were moving cards we had not yet discussed as they realized they had made mistakes.
great resource
I used this resource during my Guided Reading group. My kids loved it!
Great way to practice these skills!
An alternative way to practice identifying observations and inferences. Pictures were great!
Great!
Thank you, Kristen!
Thank you!
You’re so welcome, Keith. :) I hope your students enjoyed the activity as much as mine do!
