This is a quiz that can be used to assess contractions. It includes a variety of different ways to show understanding. Included is multiple choice, fill, rewriting sentences, and forming sentences.

These questions were created for my students to fill out as they read the book Home Run King by Patricia Mckissack. Students spent two weeks in literature circles and were typically asked to read one chapter out loud together and then read one chapter independently. They follow the same routine each day so they only had to learn the routine one day and were set for two weeks. The questions are self created so they range from text based to inferential questions. My students were expected to answe

This is a sorting activity that can follow a less on the suffix "less" and "ful." Students look at base words and determine which suffix to put the base word under. They will discover that some base words can go with both suffixes. After sorting, students record their work on the recording sheet and create a definition.

This is a wonderful hands on project that ALL my students were excited about. The final projects were amazing and showed the high level of engagement my students had during this project. The project was an extension to our area and perimeter unit. Students had to build their dream home using the guidelines I provided. It is leveled 1 - 3. ( 1 being the low group, 2 being an average group, 3 being for a high group) The pages look alike so students can't tell the difference. The levels become m

This is a quick 7 problem quiz I used as a check in for area. It covers the following: basic area using squares, area without squares, area of larger rectangles where students need to use distributive property, area of compound shapes, and one word problem.

This was our school's best project of the year! During my biography unit with my 3rd grade class I had the students choose a subject that they would like to study and become and expert on. This would eventually be the person they turned into for our wax museum. We spent one month studying our person as part of our daily reading block. As a final project we wrote speeches in first person and put on a living wax museum. In this packet I have included the following: 1. A handout breaking dow

Here is a project that students can work on to show their understanding of measurement of time. The project includes the directions for students to create their "Dream Saturday". Students decide what they would do on their dream Saturday and create a timeline that covers one day's events. The project ranges from telling time, creating word problems based on their timeline, and later solving elapsed time problems. Students will also write a paragraph describing their day. I have used this pro

This assessment was created to measure my student's understanding of different concepts related to geometry (aligned to the common core). I gave this assessment as a post test to check their understanding from the unit. The following concepts are included in the assessment: -understanding of polygons -characteristics of quadrilaterals -identification of solid shapes -understanding of slides, flips, and turns -symmetry

This product was used as a homework / study guide at home. Students completed this as homework and we reviewed it in class before the post test for area and perimeter. Included topics are: Area / perimeter with squares, area / perimeter without squares, area / perimeter of compound shapes, area / perimeter of larger rectangles that require distributive property, missing side lengths, and word problems. It was very comprehensive and I allowed two nights for students to complete :) (This can

These questions were created for my students to fill out as they read the book Sailing for the Gold: Klondike Kid. Students spent two weeks in literature circles and were typically asked to read one chapter out loud together and then read one chapter independently. They follow the same routine each day so they only had to learn the routine one day and were set for two weeks. The questions are self created so they range from text based to inferential questions. My students were expected to answer

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these multiplication games. I have uploaded three version. (Easy, med, high). The first page is the game board (copy on pretty cardstock, laminate, and use for years like me!) The second page has the directions. I double sided the cardstock and laminated the one page board. I've used them for five years and each year the kids love the game. It's great because they don't realize it's a trick game that takes forever to win. i have three levels so you can differentiate as nee

This is a letter that I send out prior to my math unit on multiplication. It explains how students will learn multiplication through arrays, equal groups, and repeated addition. The letter also shows parents the strategies we use so they may support their child at home. All standards and expectations are based on the common core standards.

This is a sorting activity that allows students to practice finding pairs of homophones. Students find two words that sound the same and place them under the two headers (word 1 and word 2). They verbally use the words in a sentence and check each other's understanding. After they've found the homophones, they record their work on a recording sheet and create definitions for the words.

This is a great introduction (or summative) lesson for prefixes. After having students learn the meaning of re and un I give them this sort. In pairs they create the headings (which I copy on colored paper) and then cut out the based words and put them under the correct heading. There is a worksheet that I use for them to fill out once they've sorted correctly that makes them think about the meaning of the words before and after adding the prefix. My kids love the hands on / visual style of le

This packet includes comprehension questions in the form of short answer and multiple choice. I used it as a means to get both literal and inferential comprehension grades from students at this level. It goes with Reading A-Z book Good for Thurgood - level N. There is also a level Q set available.

This is a packet that helps students learn how to make nouns plural by adding s or es to the end of a noun. The packet focuses on the same words. I have used it as a whole packet or photocopied page by page and had students keep their work in a folder. The work ranges from sorts, sentences, fill - in. It also includes dotted lines for handwriting support.
