This is a 78 page collection of directions and various articles and links, pre-post tests to address this very current topic. A Scholastic News article is listed, I know many teacher do purchase this for their class, and this can be used, otherwise use one of the many articles. You will have to purchase a copy of the movie, Blackfish, or use other YouTube videos that are available. I have also included several extension activities which are optional: Acrostic Poem writing, Endangered Animal Re

This Native American Report can be used in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. Choose either a local, state, or national tribe for your students to research.

Assign a different state to each of your students. They will write a report and create a float to represent their state. This is a wonderful project to complete before Open House for parents to see! I used it for my 5th grade classes, but you could also assign it in a 4th grade setting by focusing it on your home state!

Students practice their 'following directions' skills! Fun tool to get students to slow down and read first!!

This is a great reminder activity before state testing. It reminds the students how important it is to slow down, read, and follow the directions.

I have used this worksheet for years! I have modified it to the grade that I am teaching currently, 6th grade! Students always love doing this worksheet and it is a great review of their skills! I have another worksheet for 4th grade : ) All you need is to purchase the boxed candy hearts for each student! Hope your class enjoys it as much as mine have!

This is a great review/spiral for math concepts, but in a fun way! I buy plastic Easter Eggs and fill them with the jelly beans, randomly, and tape to keep closed! Hope your students enjoy it as much as mine do!

This fun math activity is great because it is also a spiral review of various math concepts! Please purchase a box of Candy Hearts for each student to use! Walmart and Big Lots are great sources! I also have a Easter one available! Hope your students enjoy it!

Each student is given a different point of interest throughout the state, with a little bit of information about it. They will then follow the directions for gathering different information to make their brochure complete, including hotels, restaurants and gas costs. You can culminate this project with each student presenting their area : )
