This is a fun sorting activity or cut and paste activity. Students will use the list of rhymes, alliterations, and repetitions and sort them under the correct category and then glue them down. You can also laminate tem and they can work in partners and sort them. I also included a page for students to create their own alliterations, rhymes, and repetitions. Thanks and enjoy!

This is an activity to review similes and metaphors. Students will sort the comparisons and tell whether they are a similie or metaphor. Then, they will choose one of each to illustrate.

This is a third grade common core reading unit using Tops and Bottoms. It reviews many of the common core reading standards for third grade. You can make it into a packet or use it with each individual page. This packet reviews cause and effect, synonyms and antonyms, summarizing, character traits, comparing and contrasting, and using text evidence.

This is a great way to help your students understand the meanings and differences between each type of alternative energy and renewable resources. They will read articles (not included), create posters, and take notes on other group's presentations. Instead of reading articles they can research different types of alternative energy. Included in the pack are project instructions and rubric, notes pages for students to take notes on other students projects, and a question page to complete before t

Identify the unit you would use to measure each given situation. Cut and paste them under the correct columns. Then, identify the correct measurement estimation for certain items and glue them next to each other. Have fun!

This is a cut and paste activity that is done in small groups. Students have three parts of a sentence and they work together to deciede which parts of the sentences go together. They have to choose the correct linking verbs as well. This also helps with subject verb agreement. I use this in my third grade classroom, but it could also be used in second or fourth. There are a total of 12 sentences that the students will have to cut and paste. The sentences can be put together in different ways, s

This is a great review for combining sentences and using conjunctions. I uploaded a preview picture of a linking verb activity that is the same thing. This one is just using conjunctions. The kids love the partner work and hands-on activity. When they finish their activity I have them create their own sentences using each conjunction. This activity goes with "fanboys" for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.

This is a wonderful plant craftivity that the students loved! It reinforces plant life cycle, photosynthesis, and the parts and functions of the plant.

In this activity students have to identify sentences that have correct and incorrect pronoun-antecedent agreement by cutting and pasting them under the correct heading. Then, students will create their own sentences using given pronouns. Enjoy!

Students will sort objects that are transparent, translucent, and opaque. They will also sort items that reflect, refract, and absorb light.

This is an activity for students to complete that uses numbers related to them. Students will use the numbers to create fact families.

This is a great project for students to use with their classroom magazine. It will help them learn text structure and text features in a nonfiction article. They will have to respond about an article with a positive theme, negative theme, two points of view, look at quotations, find text features, and look for specific facts within different articles.

This would be a great center or partner activity. Student cut and sort comparative and superlative adjectives. They also have a chance to create sentences of their own. Check out the preview file for a picture of a finished piece. Thanks for looking.

These are great to use for spelling weekly homework practice. I also will upload the rest of the year very soon! Hope you enjoy. :)

This activity involves sorting sentences that have subject verb agreement or disagreement. There are also cards that students will use to create their own sentences using correct subject verb agreement.

This is an individual or partner activity to reinforce plural and singular possessive nouns.

This activity is great to use for homework. The students keep up the grid, but turn in three assignments each Friday. There are different activities for each month. So it is always different. I also have one for November, December, and January. The rest of the year is coming soon!

This power point discusses many different procedures for the classroom. I use it for 4th grade.

This is a fun I have who has game with suffixes.

This is a fun project for students to create after they have studied alternative energy and renewable and nonrenewable resources. Students create their own house plans for an eco-friendly, energy efficient house. They will answer questions about what types of alternative energy they will use and how it will work in the house. Then, they will list ways they will conserve resources in their house. Last, they will draw and label the house diagram. It is a great project to use after you have done my
