Fast Finishers

Use this editable supplement to Scott Foresman's "Turtle's Race with Beaver"! Students break into groups and become the attorneys for Turtle and Beaver, each coming up with a list of demands. Together, the groups compromise to come up with a mutually beneficial plan for living together in harmony. My students had so much fun becoming lawyers and doing this activity! I hope you like it, too.

Here's a quick handout for students working on the Fibonacci Sequence. Students use their prior knowledge of the Sequence to determine salary at a new job, and make decisions based on different scenarios. Which salary will they choose depends on what they discover!

Students will write a journal entry from the viewpoint of either the Three Little Pigs or the Big Bad Wolf. This was a fun activity for my first grade GATE students!
