Looking for differentiated work your students can do independently while you are meeting with guided reading groups? Look no more! This menu has several different skills addressed while varying the levels to meet the diverse needs of the students in your class. Enjoy!

Here is a way to differentiate in your class using one resource. Graduated Difficulty allows you to provide something for everyone that meets the needs of all learning levels without having to create multiply assignments and more work for you. Students can choose which level to complete or it can be teacher selected. The answer key allows for self check so that students can immediately see their progress. This is great for guided practice, independent practice, exit tickets, homework, etc. Share

Meet the needs of all your students in one activity. Graduated Difficulty allows you to provide the same content but with different levels. Students can choose the level to complete, or it can be teacher assigned. The answer key gives the option for students to self-check and to have immediate feedback on their performance.

Looking for a creative way to follow-up a Junior Great Books story? Here is one that my students loved for the story "Jack and the Beanstalk". Students take on the role of journalist and write accounts of what happened after the ogre fell, Jack became wealthy, and he married a princess. There are four different activities included, so students can choose based on interest level or they can be grouped together to make it a team project. Enjoy!

Want a great review game or center (station) activity on two digit by one digit multiplication? Well, here it is! Everything you need to get your students motivated, engaged, and thinking critically. This game is similar to a well-known game called Contig. The students must multiply a two digit number by a one digit number and use strategy to determine where to place their game marker on the board. This game comes with everything you will need except a pencil and a paperclip. Enjoy!
