This product was an invaluable resource when I created it for my ELL first graders. These students, and many of my native English speakers, struggle with how to differentiate between the question words. Now, they each have a laminated copy of this poster to use at the writing center. Great for Common Core "Ask and Answer Questions" standards at any age! Also great for science lessons.

This PowerPoint presentation is pre-loaded with one slide per day for 8 weeks. Each slide contains instructions for the morning along with a thought provoking creative writing prompt. The students love these! The daily slide is projected as students are coming into the room. The students get used to the routine and immediately grab their journals and get working. My students compete in their morning journals for monthly author awards which provides more motivation. To keep my kids focused on goo

This vocabulary Graphic organizer is awesome for ELLs. It asks them to describe a new word using all five senses. I have used this organizer for all my students, gifted, ESE, ESOL, etc. They all love this break in the monotony of copying definitions into a vocabulary notebook.

These activities can be used for any grade's spelling bee word list to help students practice and learn their words. The 5 activities include Alphabetical Order, Story Writing, Scavenger Hunt, Words I Know Sort, and Vowel Sort.

This sort is for students struggling to recognize the different operations within word problems. It is not for actual practice of the operations, but rather, a tool to use to help them recognize the language. This is perfect for students with IEPs, or those students who struggle with math vocabulary. It would also be a good introduction to mixed word problems.

This is a simple dice game that students can play individually or in pairs. The purpose of this game is to aid in mastering basic 1-9 multiplication facts. My second graders absolutely loved playing this game!

This chart allows you to edit which positive behaviors you are looking for in a particular child (Ex. Neat handwriting, respectful responses, etc.) then give the child a smile for each class period that the child exhibits a positive behavior. I used this chart for students who were not responding to the regular classroom management system and needed additional support. Each day we came up with a goal for the number of smiles we wanted to earn, then worked towards that goal. Each night, the paren

These posters demonstrate the most common long vowel patterns learned in 1st/2nd grade. I pasted these onto the bottom of my Harcourt sound/spelling cards that I put on my wall. They are clearer and larger than most of the sound/spelling cards that come with curricula. You could also laminate them, cut them apart and use them as a sound/spelling match up center.

This activity allows students to show off their skills at modeling a multiplication fact, using the main strategies enforced through Engage NY/Eureka Math in the beginning of third grade. Strategies include using equal groups, a tape diagram, a number bond, and an array. There is also a spot to write related facts to demonstrate the commutative property and the relationship between multiplication and division.

I tape this checklist on the inside cover of my students' creative writing journals. Each day after writing, the students reflect on one thing they did well from the list and one thing they will work harder on tomorrow. My daily creative writing prompts are available for purchase in my TpT store. You could also laminate before securing into writing journal and let students mark off each item with a dry erase marker as a self monitoring strategy. Will send Word version for editing upon request.
