When it came time for students to come back into the classroom during/after the pandemic, I knew that there would be some kids who had not attended a class in years. Realizing that there would be significant deficits in learning, I decided I needed to up my scaffolding game for the entire classroom. Below are printable anchor charts based on the Common Core standards for 8th-grade math. I have hit on all significant concepts that you would be expected to cover and provide in-depth examples and

I created a form for students to complete in preparation for a student-led conference. I used this for spring conferences, by this time in the year, 8th-grade students and their families were already made aware of their academic progress so the form did not need to be as in-depth as fall student-led conference portfolios (see separate posting). This should take a class max of 20 mins compete if they have access to their grades. Student-led conferences are exactly what they sound like, student-le

rationaleat the beginning of the year in my steam femineers class, I wanted an easy introductory assignment that would get students back in the groove and introduce them to the general class structure. Being that this class was comprised of entirely girls I thought it would be a great idea to research other successful women in STEAM and have them learn/practice researching and building a Google site (something most of them would do in one class or another by the end of the school year). In this

I created this resource for my middle schoolers as an introduction to using APA format when writing. I never understood as a teacher or a student why we teach MLA format when it is not used in college-level courses. This checklist goes over APA formatting rules, in-text citations, and the final reference page. It is completely, editable and can be printed or used digitally.Some teachers are divided on this subject, but I do not teach kids how to format or create citations when there are hundreds

In this resource,you will find a "performance task" problem for the Expressions and Equations domain in the middle grades (see applicable standards in the listing). I use these in my classroom at the end of domains to wrap up instruction and have students work on these problems in teams. These problems would also work well during a test prep unit or left with sub plans. I have provided an in-depth answer key and optional scaffolding steps for your diverse learners.
