When teaching my students how to write a personal narrative, I created this web to model what they must include when writing a story. The kids love the "problem" and "solution" because when they hear "problem," they respond "oh no!" When they hear "solution," they respond "phew!" This was very helpful with my ENL student population as well. I hope you find it useful as I did!

Google Slides friendly- perfect for Digital Learning. Pair this activity with various grade-friendly website resources in which students can research heroes from the Revolutionary War! Goes well with 4th grade Revolutionary War unit for both ELA and social studies. Students are able to type into the slides, while not losing the formatting of the entire presentation! Includes the following slide: - Research directions - My hero is... this person interests me because... - Pictures of my hero - B

Included are 3 worksheets aligned to the NYSCCLS for grade 1 mathematics 1.OA.C.6 With the worksheets are answer keys. The last page is to challenge those firsties who can handle higher number addition and subtraction! Enjoy!

In this document, you will find a problem/solution text model (page 2). This can be used to model how to look for text evidence to determine what text structure this passage is. You will find on page 1 is a worksheet to determine which passage has the problem/solution text structure. For reference, the first passage is cause/effect. I hope this helps you as it helped me!

I used this worksheet for reteach instruction while teaching "Parts of a Whole" to my students. Students checked their answers with the provided answer key. Let me know what you think!

Pair this worksheet with a fiction story. This can be completed independently or whole-class. This is a great tool to assess student understanding of the story they are reading.

This scavenger hunt allows students to explore nonfiction text features! Students can work individually, in pairs, or groups to complete task.

When working in Readers Workshop, one focus for my class is making predictions. I put together this card so that students can record their predictions and confirm them while they read. Not to mention, when you laminate them, they can record their prediction with a whiteboard marker and erase it once their story is over! Enjoy!

After students read a book, they can work on this worksheet to demonstrate their comprehension of character feelings. Following, they will identify whether they received knowledge of their feelings from the text, pictures, or both! My ENL and non-ENL kids enjoyed it, and I hope yours do too! Enjoy!

This meets the NYSCCLS for mathematics 1.OA.C.6. It goes along with lesson 5.8 in the grade 1 GoMath curriculum.
