This is a completely editable 2 or 3 day lesson plan structure that I use with UFLI to incorporate fluency for some of my readers that have passed their EOY progress monitoring, but still need additional support. The template includes a daily schedule and structured slides to easily incorporate the daily elements of UFLI. Additionally, there are "Expression Warm-Ups" and "Accuracy Checks" that align with a Fluency rubric that is also included. Many of the component provide a strong routine an

Students will practice reading, writing, representing and identifying decimal through the thousandths. This lesson includes a warm-up, skill introduction, guided practice, shared practice and an optional independent practice activity. The lesson is editable and includes animations to scaffold the skills being taught.

Students will review the definitions for all patterns and identify the core while interacting with the lesson to answer questions as you go. The lesson has several examples, and will most likely take several days to review. Several of the questions also deal with LCM and apply patterns to "real life (pirate)" scenarios. As students progress through examples the complexity and rigor increases. Scaffolds and animations provide direction and step-by-step procedures to increase visual understand

This 10 lesson series covers the introduction of least common multiple (LCM) and greatest common factor (GCF), comparing and ordering fractions (with various models), adding and subtracting decimals with both like and unlike denominators, introduction of decimals, fraction and decimal equivalents and adding/subtracting and rounding decimals. All lessons have animations that build the lesson and scaffold instruction. Note: These lessons are designed to have students work with the teacher

Grades 3, 4, 5 and 6 students will solve both single and multiple step story problems using all 4 operations. Each story problem is introduced without numbers to increase students understanding of what the story is asking and representing. This lesson is designed to provide authentic application to all 4 operations and previously learned skills including: addition and subtraction in the thousands (with regrouping), multiplication (single and 2x2), division (with remainders) and fractions/ decima

This virtual road trip will take students to 6 different zoos and aquariums across the United States. The road trip starts in Monterey Bay (Aquarium) and goes to San Diego Zoo, the Seattle Aquarium, the Denver Zoo, the Georgia Aquarium before ending in Apollo Beach, FL at the Manatee Viewing center. Through each trip students are exposed to various science skills and concepts through exploration, research, discussion and vocabulary. Below is a breakdown of the focus of each area. Monterey B
