This guided lesson will teach the basics of typing to emerging-learners in technology. There are step-by-step instructions for changing font appearances, adding clip art, saving work (save-as vs. save), and important keys such as Enter and Tab. Each instruction has a screen-shot picture of what the student must do on his or her own computer. I first model the lesson on my projector then have my students complete it on their own. This lesson has remedied so many of the "panic" questions that stud

Every student needs to know these strategies and be able to pull from them as they work through math problem solving! Colorful posters for students to refer to as they work on solving tricky math word problems. The title page and problem solving steps require one full page, and the strategies themselves each take half a page. NOTE: I updated this file to include three additional strategies!!!

This product divides the book //The Tale of Despereuax// into four manageable sections. Each section contains two Creative Thinking and two Critical Thinking questions.

It is a great guessing/get-to-know you game because each student must include a photo of themselves with the book covering his or her face. This product includes: -Student instructions for the project -An example of a compl

This menu offers six choices of activities for "telling time" vocabulary. The choices are based on Bloom's levels understanding, applying, and creating.

Every student needs to know the math problem solving strategies and be able to pull from them as they work through math word problems! This is the companion poster that outlines the steps in solving a word problem. It belongs with the colorful problem solving posters for students to refer to as they work on solving tricky math word problems. I have used these strategies with students in Kinder all the way through 7th grade, and they work!
