The Little Spot of Emotions Books by Diane Alber are a great resource to use to teach Social Emotional needs in your classroom. I have created worksheets to pair with each little spot book to use for bibliography, SEL lessons, etc!

Originally written for Gifted / GATE but can be used in the gen. ed classroom easily! This is one of my FAVORITE lessons in the WHOLE unit! It has the most resources besides my mysteries topic centers (coming soon!) This is a GREAT topic/unit for gifted students but can also be used in a general education Social Studies or ELA Classroom. My students LOVE it! Anywhere from 4th-8th grade students!  Includes:  *Gifted & ALCOS Standards *Title Page *Concept Map with topics *Unit Narrative *Detaile

This package includes resources bundled into one assignment for gifted learners. I use this as an extension for my gifted students and early finishers. This can serve in the General Ed. classroom as an accommodation for your high achievers or gifted students who finish content and lessons before everyone else.

Thanksgiving Themed Lego Challenge Cards! Love to use these with my centers + early finishers!

This mini unit takes students through the exploration of Newton's Laws of Motion and the Engineering Design Process to lead them to building their own Marble Maze and/or Roller Coaster!

The Continuation of the CBC unit History's Mysteries!!!

I LOVE using this in my Gifted Classroom as a center! Really more suitable within a 5th grade Math Class as an early finisher or high achieving extension! Students will LOVE this strategy and won't even realize they're being challenged with Math Practice!

Same concept and rules as De Bono's Six Thinking Hats, I just replaced the hats with glasses for my older students and they have LOVED it!!

Use this aesthetically pleasing Engineering Design Process as a poster to hang or frame in your classroom - also includes a student interactive guide on how to use the process. Can be used over and over!

I use SCAMPER frequently in my Gifted Classes - The kids are OBSESSED. Get their creative thinking going with this Christmas Themed SCAMPER.

Thanksgiving Roll-A-Story! Roll the dice to determine characters, setting, and conflict then let your imagination do the rest!

Fun, Colorful work pages using the SCAMPER method! Great for a starter, brain break, or even enrichment!

Cute and organized standards for gifted teachers and students to view and post in the classroom to ensure student understanding and mastery
