This is a game I created to support students as they learn how to create and interpret arrays, which correlates with Common Core Standard.2.OA.C.3. Students can do this simple dice game independently or with a partner. I have included two different game sheets for you to choose from depending on the needs of your students.

Cut out the cards. Give pairs of students a set. Students will then sort the cards by the headers (located on the 2nd page).

Students demonstrate their understanding of the terms relative and absolute location. Students then apply that understanding to describe the relative location of their desks in the classroom. This goes will with the Pearson My World, We Do Our Part textbook chapter 3 Lesson 1.

I developed this powerpoint for my 2nd grade class to explain a little bit about the 2016 republican and democratic presidential candidates. I also explain the voting process in step by step instruction with pictures. I wanted to be able to explain why we do not have school on election day. I will also be holding a mock election in my classroom and also have the voter IDs I made for my students and election ballots uploaded to my store.

This activity reinforces the term "relative location". I did a drawing of my classroom, had my students label major landmarks in the classroom (ex. teacher's desk, whiteboard, door) and put a foil star sticker on their desks. Then they used this half-sheet to describe the relative location of their desks.

Students should use magnets to test if various items around the classroom are magnetic or not. This document is editable so you can customize it to materials you have in your classroom. Students will then draw or write the names of the items in each category box depending on whether or not they are magnetic.

Students can illustrate and describe careers they wish to have. These make a nice bulletin board before Career Day.

This collection of Research Note Taking Sheets allows your students to choose what topic they want to research under the umbrella of broader categories. Each note taking sheet has several questions to help guide student research with widely-spaced lines for students who have larger handwriting. Included are research note taking sheets for the categories of: -Animals -Planets -Contries -Sports -How To (I use these note taking sheets to help my students research topics during the Writing Fundament

Hello! I use this sheet to capture scores from running records I give during guided reading. I try to get two running records done per student each month. This sheet is helpful to reference at SIT and IEP meetings. I also usually highlight each name based on a color chosen for their guided reading group (ex. my red group is highlighted pink, my blue group is highlighted blue, etc.). This helps to track a group's progress to notice if the level of books you are reading is too easy or too hard for

I created this worksheet for the beginning of the year. This gives my students a long term goal to strive for. I will also keep their responses in mind for career day in the spring. I have included corresponding objectives and standards, a rubric, and task description for a standards based bulletin board. This could be used at the beginning of the year or before career day.

I use this capture sheet each time I do DRAs and dictations. There is a column for student names, previous DRA scores (to remember where to begin testing during the next window), new DRA level, comprehension score, accuracy score, self-correction ratio, and a dictation score. If I am unable to finish a student's testing in one sitting I record relevant data in pencil. Once I have confirmed that a student cannot pass the next level up I trace over my pencil or rewrite in pen. This helps me keep t

This place value worksheet involves base 10 blocks and a place value/ HTO chart. There are 2 pages- I use one to model with and give the students the other to complete by themselves.

Students can compare their lives today with the life of Sarah Morton, a pilgrim girl from Kate Waters' book, Sarah Morton's Day.

This assessment can be used for lesson or mini-unit.

I created these data sheets to involve students in their own data analysis and goal setting. There is a reading data sheet and a math data sheet. I provided word documents so you can customize them to your own assessment types.

This anecdotal notes sheet should be populated with student names. Then the sheet can be used by circling the strengths and weaknesses of students and using the information in conferences.

A variety of writing paper.

Student may demonstrate conceptual understanding of time passing and history by plotting several events from their lives on this timeline.
