MsB Does ELD

This end of the year activity is a big hit with my classes! The memory book is filled with themed pages, prompts, and spaces for students to gather notes and signatures. We typically spend about 3-4 class periods working on these books. Some of the pages included are: -classroom highlights -all about me right now -teachers' spotlight -school mascot This was also designed to be open ended, so it works for all middle school grades. I hope your students enjoy making their own memory books!

In this assignment students are asked to make their own flag and then explain their reasoning behind what they create. It has a brainstorming activity built into it help the stduents get their ideas out onto paper before creating their final flag. I use it as a begnign of the year activity as one way of getting to know my students. However, you could use this at any time really. If you do use it with your students, I would love to know how it works out!

This slideshow covers some of the main accomplishments of Ancient Egypt. It has fill in notes for students and videos embedded into the slides to break up the note taking. It was also designed for 6th grade social studies classes that had English Language Learners in it, so this product is ELL friendly.

This activity is ready to use! It includes a grammar introduction to the 8 major parts of speech (one slide per part), two color by part of speech activities, and answer keys for both. This is valentine's day themed and can easily be used again and again. For my 6th grade level 3 ELL students I know this activity takes 1-2 classes to complete, 45-90 minutes. I you use this with your students as well, I would love to know how it goes! Enjoy and Happy Valentine's Day!
