This product is broken up by grade level (showing K-4). Each grade level is broken up by standards (showing the readiness and supporting standards, as well as which TEKS are new to the grade level). The spreadsheet shows which TEKS are covered within each week and module then shows the calculated total of exposure throughout the year.
These charts are the ultimate form of student ownership in their learning and differentiation with regards to IStation monthly assessments. I have seen a huge jump in my students' engagement and drive to learn through IStation and do their best on the assessments every month after introducing these charts to them. How I Use in the Classroom: At the beginning of the year, I have the students show me their BOY ISIP score. I choose the chart that best allows for them to graph their score and have
This product is for third grade assessments and aligns with HMH end of module assessments only. The product provides students with an opportunity to track their score, reflect on the questions they answered and what skills they are stronger and weaker in, and self-reflect through reflection-based questions.
This review covers the essential standards assessed on the end of module 4 assessment. It provides academic vocabulary and definitions, related IXL lessons to each concept, and opportunities to practice. The review also has an opportunity to practice a short-constructed response, as well.
I use this resource for students to take ownership of their learning throughout the writing process. Whenever they think they're finished with their writing, I have them use this checklist to really break up their writing. You can have them use this independently, with a partner, or switch between table mates.
I use this resource before each module unit to uncover what each student knows/doesn't know before starting the module. The unit test covers 3 areas - academic vocabulary knowledge (students can show by writing a definition or drawing a picture), reading comprehension (assesses with a few questions related to a very short excerpt and the skills are those that will be covered during the module), and grammar knowledge.
This tool has been a life saver for my classroom management during independent workshop. I bought the number clothes pins from the Target dollar spot and placed one in each box. When the kids have used every tool that they've learned in class and still require assistance, they will grab a number then continue trying on their own until I can get there. You could easily Velcro numbers to each box, too.

This product contains three levels of differentiation to use as an exit ticket or activity during the Lucy Caulkins mystery unit. Each level has an answer box to respond in and an example, as well. I uploaded the images to Seesaw and had the students answer through that platform, but these images could be printed, too. This activity could easily be adapted to fit into any lesson that is discussing red herrings, inferring, using key details to support your main idea, and inferring.

These slides contain all 392 Fry Words for third grade. The slide background is yellow because research shows that yellow grabs people's attention and wakes up the nervous system.

I use this every holiday season with the read aloud - Snowmen at Night. After reading the book together, students create themselves as a snowman using a black piece of construction paper and either drawing out the setting and themselves or using other pieces of construction paper. Afterwards, students will use the graphic organizer to come up with a creative writing piece to accompany their craft creation. Then students will write a four paragraph final draft to share what their night would be
