About the store
For the past fifteen years, I've been lucky enough to teach fifth graders of all ability levels, and one of the things I most enjoy about teaching is the opportunity to find creative ways to help my students learn. The products on my page are all things I have created and use with my students, and I only post the things I actively use and find success with in my own classroom. The things I make that don't quite work out, end up in my trash bin. If you have questions about anything, please feel free to reach out, and I can explain how I used the product or help make any changes you might need. Happy teaching!

They are given newspaper articles, an interview transcript, a note taking document, and a final report document. I have students engage in dialogic discussion

Out of My Mind Figurative Language Practice
While reading Out of My Mind, my students and I study and record examples of figurative language to strengthen our understanding of the text and the use of similes, metaphors, idioms, adages, onomatopoeias, and hyperboles they might encounter in other stories. I usually hang a poster of this document, and as we read, we record and analyze examples of figurative language throughout the novel.
