This sheet enables teachers to track behaviors for many students in a class. I often feel like I'm always talking to the same students for the same behaviors - with no improvement. So this sheet helps me track these quick 1:1 conversations. I include: the date, the reason for the conversation, and any consequences I issued. This type of record is really helpful when I need additional support from home, other teachers, counselors, and administrators; it shows that I have been diligent in addres

Searching for quick and easy challenges for your students? Here are seven engineering challenges that are all paper-based. Each challenge includes rules, and a list of the necessary materials and tools. The primary material in every challenge is paper. Students never need tape or glue. Other materials that are useful include: large washers (as weights), tape measure or yardstick for determining winners, and a bucket/tub to hold water. The tools I allow students to use are the same for every

This argumentative writing activity (CER = Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) is centered on an interesting question: Why is Bill Gates so interested in toilets?The (shortened) backstory is that 2.6 billion people in the world don't have sanitary toilets, which leads to contamination, illness, and malnutrition. Bill Gates launched a challenge to reinvent the toilet for cities and villages that don't have modern plumbing systems. Links to several videos are included to share with your students. Click

This study set coordinates 3 resources/tools to help your students learn the countries of the world (see my note below):1. Quizlet Study Sets I created a study set for each continent.

Quizlet uses the notecards to generate games/activities to give your students practice. I highly recommend playing Quizlet Live with your classes. Anyway, the images in these study sets come f

This sheet enables teachers to track one student's behaviors for up to five dates. I used to track data on post-it notes, and as you can imagine it was a haphazard method of tracking data. So I created this form to keep my data organized. I added a place to jot notes so that I can put a few words with my tally marks. I designated one of my clipboards for behavior tracking, and it has not only helped me keep data organized, but it is a visual reminder to actually track the data. Please check o

OverviewStudents will understand how distortion affects maps by watching two videos, then cutting out four map projections and trying to fold them into a globe. The map projections with the least distortion will have the smallest gaps when folded into a sphere, while map projections with a lot of distortion will have large gaps. Students conclude the activity by responding to a few questions. ActivityStudents will watch two videos explaining the basic problem with maps. The instruction page incl

This activity is a variation of Battleship, except the game board is an actual world map with real latitude and longitude lines. To keep it simple, the activity includes three variations of the game board with the ships already placed (the third variation allows you to form a group of three if you have an odd number of students playing). I recommend seating students across from each other with a folder for a divider. The activity also includes a blank game board in case you want to create your

The story behind this custom order:The middle school Spectra (gifted education) teachers in my district requested this sheet.

My Google Sheets are designed to give teachers a snapshot of how students are performing. They not only calculate traditional totals, such as average score, but they break student scores down into levels of mastery. As student scores are entered, the cells change color to indicate level of mastery. The sheets will also calculate the total number of students in each level of mastery. This can help teachers identify who might qualify for an extension (green students on a pretest), or who might
