ClearlySimple

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.

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 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

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.

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.

A variety of writing paper.
