This unit has lessons integrated within all areas of the curriculum. This unit touches areas in Language Arts, Math, Social Studies, Science, Health, etc. This unit included 22 lessons including how clouds are formed, thunderstorm safety posters, rainbow formation, wind, sunshine and much much more.

I used this Powerpoint as an introduction activity to my poetry unit. I gave each student a sack to take home and fill with whatever item they want. In class, they switched bags with another student. Their peer was able to read inside and feel the object but was not able to look at it. That student wrote a poem similar to Shel Silverstein's "What's in the Sack" to reflect the item they felt in their classmate's bag.

This document is used to create reading response journals. I used them as a homework assignment after nightly reading, but they could easily be used during reading workshop in the classroom. It includes a sheet with writing promots and an example of how the prompt should be written. I used a marbleized composition book and glued the prompts on the inside of the cover and glued an example on the top of the first page. These were also great for portfolios and parents conferences.

This was an activity I did around Thanksgiving. I set up 5 stations around the room with fresh cranberries. Students explored the inside of cranberries, which ones are fresh, how many cranberries equals another object, etc. The only materials you will need is this packet for each student, about 2 bags of fresh cranberries and other materials you find around the classroom. My students really enjoyed this activity.

I created these cards for students to be able to generate their own questions while reading. They have been great for partner reading and small group readings to get them thinking as they read.

This note taking sheet is great for a Beverly Cleary author study after reading several of her wonderfully written novels, including Ramona Quimby, Age 8 and Ramona and Beezus. I created this for a websearch style research. My students then used this information to write a biography about Beverly Cleary.

I did a soil project with my students. The three types of soil (sand, humus, and clay) are taught in third grade. I created this letter to send home to parents to ask relatives around our country to send soil samples from their area. We received a tremendous amount of samples from around our country including sand from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We then mapped it on a bulletin board to show where each sample came from. We classified the samples into the three types of soils. We also us
