This project is an investigation into careers involving science. Students will sign up for a career, research the career, then present it in a format of your choice. I have included 2 format choices. One is a research paper format and the other is a poster or technology type format. I have included rubrics to match each format. This project requires very little prep on the part of the teacher. The teacher should be more of a facilitator during this project. Teachers need to decide if t

This set includes 5 different pages. Each page has a chart that compares 2 different US cities over 4 days. Students have to analyze and interpret the chart to answer 10 questions. In the questions, students have to compare high and low temperatures as well as types of precipitation. Students have to use math to calculate temperature differences on multiple days. It's a great resource to reinforce your science and math objectives.

These are directions for students and parents about a poster and report project for Black History Month. This can be done at home or at school depending on the time you have. Students select a famous African American and then do research on this person. I have included a parent letter, famous African American people choices, lined paper for older kids, primary lined paper for younger kids, a picture frame for illustrating their person of choice, and a grading rubric. Students are asked to re

This is a booklet that students complete to show what they have learned about earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and tsunamis. I have also created a blank template in case you want to add another rapid change to your book. I print these for my class by doing 2 sided printing. It makes a 3 page booklet (6 when you fold it) that you can staple in the middle. I have my class glue the booklet in their science ISN. The pages have the cause of the change, what that change can cause, evidence of

This is a test you can give 2nd graders at the end of the school year to assess their mastery of math concepts taught throughout the year. It can also be given as a pre-test at the beginning of 3rd grade to see what students retained over the summer. It is 56 questions that are based on the 2nd grade math TEKS. Objectives are listed by each question and answers are included.

These are boarding passes that our 2nd grade uses for Christmas Around the World. Each teacher takes a country and we teach each class about the traditions of that country and we do an activity with the students. The students rotate among each 2nd grade teacher. To prepare, we cut out each ticket and staple into a booklet. As the students enter each room, we take their ticket and stamp their passport book. The countries we do are Mexico, France, Italy, and Germany. I have another listing f

A science lab recording sheet where students record their data from investigating the physical properties of multiple items. Students will record the physical properties of items such as buoyancy, density, length, weight, etc. This recording sheet works best in a lab station format.

These are 4 templates for Dear Santa letters. I have 2 primary lined papers and 2 regular lined papers. The regular lined papers have places for a date, body, closing, and signature. The primary paper has a place for a body, closing, and signature.

This is lined writing paper with a box for illustrating to the topic of "My Family's Christmas Traditions". This is a great thing for multi-cultrual classrooms, but it can be used with any class.

Students write the weekly phonics focus in the center of the flower (ex. ee or ea.....). Then on the petals they write words that contain the spelling focus for the week. You might have the students cut out the flower and display them in the hallway or put them in an interactive spelling/word journal. It's great spelling reinforcement.

You have to run the pages back to back. Students fold the paper in half where the words beginning, middle, and end are in the front. Then it opens to the illustration and writing sections inside. Students need to cut the front flap along the lines. Then they write and illustrate the sequence of a story.

This is a 12 question quiz about various American symbols. It is in multiple choice format and answers are included. It goes well with my American Symbols powerpoint that is also available on TPT.

This is a fun end of year activity that requires students to answer multiple questions about how their school year has been. Sample questions are: What goal have you accomplished this year? What will you remember most about this year? What was your favorite day this year?....... There are 28 pre-made questions with a blank template so teachers can edit or add additional questions. There is a recording sheet for students to write their answers on as they are completing the SCOOT. These quest

This flip chart includes pages on: What is matter? What are physical properties? What to observe to determine physical properties. What's the difference between observable and measurable properties? What are measurement tools? Then students are given practice items to determine if the property is observable or measurable.

This lab is designed for students to rotate stations. At each station, they investigate a mixture and try to decide how to separate it. Students work through the scientific method at each station.

This packet includes materials to conduct a Christmas Around the World day for your grade level or class. I have included: *information on what my grade level does for Christmas Around the World *airline tickets and ticket covers for the countries of Brazil, Greenland, Holland, and Australia *passport *country stickers for the passport book (we print these on label paper) *countries quiz *quiz answers

These are great to use during independent reading time or a literacy workstation. Once students read a book, they complete one of the sheets (there are 3 per page) and you can use them to display in the classroom library, on a bulletin board, or they can turn in for you to assess their writing/reading.

This is a scoot (or math station) activity that can be used in the classroom to practice or review comparing fractions. This scoot includes 2 sets of fractions. The first set of fractions are common denominators and common numerators. The second set are various fractions. I have included answer keys and a recording sheet. There are 28 cards in each set.

This is a packet for conducting a Christmas Around the World in your grade level or class. It includes airline tickets and covers for the countries of Mexico, Italy, France, and Germany. It also includes a passport and country stickers for the passport. We print the country stickers on labels because it makes it faster to put into the passports, but it can also be done on paper. You'll just have to have the kids glue the stamp in. It also includes information on activities we did for each c

There are 24 cards with images that students can measure. Depending on your student's needs, you can measure in non-standard units or standard units. Teachers should choose whether to measure to the closest inch, half inch, centimeter, etc. It is formatted as a Scoot game, but can also be used in a center to reinforce measurement concepts. There is a recording sheet for students to use.
