This product is used as a language arts bell ringer. It should take about 10 minutes for students to complete. It reviews a set of skills each week and then on Friday, students are assessed over the skills review during the week.

Daily Language Review can be used as a bell ringer. It covers multiple skills. There's a page for each day of the week, Monday-Thursday, with a short assessment on Friday.

This graphic organizer helps students understand social studies information. It breaks down each paragraph and then students must give an overall summary for the entire text.

I give the homework menu out for language arts on Monday. The students are allowed to select any 5 activities to complete and turn in on Friday. They circle the ones selected and turn in on Friday with their completed work accompanied by a parent's signature. I had about 98% of students on average that completed their homework.

Students browse magazines and locate examples for each capitalization category. Students or groups can be awarded points based on the number of examples found. 1 chart tablet page labeled for each category is taped to the wall. As students locate the examples, they can either write them directly on the paper or write them on sticky notes and then place them on the page. This creates visual examples for students to see capitalization in actual practice.
