Sixth grade math standards (for NC) broken down into essential questions, important vocabulary, and example questions. They're organized by strand- Ratios & Proportional Reasoning, Number Sense, Expressions & Equations, Geometry, and Statistics & Probability. You can print the pages of one strand to use as a study guide during the year, or as a way to prepare for EOG testing.

Half sheet coloring pages with Greek and Latin roots with accompanying doodle pictures. This is an easy early finisher option!

Students scan QR codes and read about important events during the Revolutionary War- 1) Washington Crossing the Delaware 2) Battles of Lexington and Concord 3) Battle of Bunker (Breed's) Hill 4) Battle of Saratoga 5) Battle of Yorktown Included is a student response sheet in order to assess responses. It is also conducive to journal work.

This packet includes a vocabulary list and examples to help show students the different parts of poems and dramas. Memorizing the different parts without examples just leads to confusion. There is also an assessment, originally written for third graders at the end of a unit. It could be easily used as a review (hopefully!) for the older grades.

There are 126 different vocabulary words that fit fifth/sixth/seventh grade math, depending on your situation. It covers all strands, from numbers and operations to data to geometry. Each word has a definition and graphic and/or example to support understanding.

Every May, I lead my students in writing persuasive letters to various government and public officials. This serves as an engaging yet informative enrichment for after testing. The overall unit is about how to be active citizens in a federalist country. Students have to decide to which level is the most appropriate to address their concern: local, state or national. I have included a lesson plan, as well as two student examples, and a letter my class received from South Carolina’s Governor McMa

Quick printable activity to be paired with any passage about the Panama Canal. This is meant for basic understanding before any analysis. (Britannica Link- https://kids.britannica.com/students/article/Panama-Canal/276264)

I’m really pushing growth mindset with my kids this year. My school has a very high achieving students, and ‘failure’ can be a very scary concept (for both the kids and the parents). I used quotes from a variety of famous people in order to appeal the many interests in the classroom. These can be used as writing prompts, as a morning reflection, or even just as conversation starters with your students. There are 12 separate quotes- 4 per page, so you can cut up slips with the questions to hand o

QR codes link to various instructional videos for work on fraction operations. This was created for a single student of mine this year who was well ahead of all of the others in the class. Many videos also contain practice problems.

A basic worksheet for character analysis that includes a place to track text evidence. I use it for an activity to complete with book clubs/lit circles to extend/focus discussion.

Something that seems to take me forever each year is coming up with things for the students to do that have some educational value, but aren't 'too intense'. Because I also try to use data (anecdotal or numbers!) whenever possible, I get students to tell me about themselves for planning purposes. I've also included my parent/guardian survey along with a Spanish translation. If you need grade levels edited, please message. Formatting-wise, the PDF was the best option.

I've tried many types of reading logs with my students, and so far this has been the most successful. Questions are aligned with CCSS (Setting/Characters, Summary, Cause & Effect, and Reaction). Using this one shows me that they're really reading their book- not just filling out some lines that may or may not be completely accurate. I've also included 3 pages of book recommendations with summaries, book level, and AR Points.

This can be used as a whole class activity set up around the room, or as a station. There are 7 lithographs/paintings/photographs of significant aspects/battles in the Civil War. They include: -Fort Sumter -Gettysburg -Emancipation Proclamation -Vicksburg - African Americans in the war - Surrender - Lincoln's Assassination There is a student recording sheet for them to write observations as well as identify the significance of what the pictures depict.

This resource is aimed at increasing engagement during your decimal operations unit. Students randomly draw an occupation before they begin. They then use the given monthly salary (based on the average salary in North Carolina before taxes...) to determine what they can afford. Some kids will be able to afford the best of everything. Some will have to make some hard choices! Prices are based on current averages and actual costs in our area (Asheville, North Carolina). Obviously, things might

This document includes a sample graphic organizer, as well as 25 problems of various types. They were designed to fit fourth grade SC math standards, but they also fit CCSS. Also included is a challenge question for higher grade levels or high-achieving students in your classroom. Using the answer sheet provided requires students to explain their work, which is required of many math standards. Formatting wise, the PDF was best. Contact me if you would like me to change names.

Graphic organizers are the best way to scaffold larger writing projects for students. Kids often struggle with expressing their thoughts through writing, and graphic organizers can help them with that process. This collection is designed for a 5-6 paragraph essay, although of course you can adjust as needed.

There are 32 different common roots and affixes, mostly Greek/Latin. This makes a perfect center activity paired with earlier instruction.

An assessment for the Progressive era, including new inventions, the rise of immigration, and government reforms. There is short answer and multiple choice. Answer key is included.

America's Rise to Power includes the Spanish-American War, The Panama Canal, as well as World War I. These tests have multiple choice, fill in the blank/word bank (depending on level), as well as short answer. Both include opportunities for 'Bonus' points at higher levels of rigor. Too often, students who struggle as readers have difficulty doing well on tests in different content areas. This comes at two levels- not only with a different amount of questions, but with supports included for low

Perfect as a center or a scoot activity- get your kiddos practicing rounding to a variety of place values.
