Students are presented with two identical sentences - one with the quotation marks in the correct place, and one marked incorrectly. Students then use the letters in the Correct/Incorrect column to decode the answer to a riddle! It's self checking in that way; they know they were right when the get the answer to the riddle.
I love using this activity to get more practice with quotation marks! It's a little bit of a different way to get kids to identify which is the correct usage of the quot
Use this exercise BEFORE you begin teaching Elapsed Time on a Number Line. I found that teaching elapsed time on a number line really helped students understand the concept, but they often made mistakes READING a number line. They just weren't accustomed to reading time that way! Teaching them how to use and read a number line accurately before we talked about elapsed time on a number line helped a ton!
Students must read each sentence and determine if it is COMPLETE or INCOMPLETE sentence, then circle the letter in the column....which leads them to complete a riddle about lazy dogs! Fun, easy and engaging practice of grammar and writing skills.
Answer key is included.
These bold, bright and cheerful schedule cards are just the thing to keep your day organized. Each card has a picture corresponding to that activity. There are 42 different daily schedule cards. I have even included some blank cards for writing in your own events.
The font is bold, and easy-to-read, but fun. The backgrounds include Chevron, Dots, and Quatrefoil for a little interest, while keeping with the bright yellow and turquoise theme.
Included in set:
- Self Starter
- Journal

When reading and interpreting bar graphs, I found that my 3rd graders could easily read graphs with small increments - increments of 1, 2 even 5. But then when asked to read graphs with larger scales, they struggled! I needed some resources and tools to help them read and interpret bar graphs, but had a hard time finding any! So here are some that I made! I hope you will find these useful too!
Are you tired of your students making silly errors in their basic facts? I know I was - that's why I made this!
Students color the grid according to the key, based on whether the equation is correct or incorrect. Students need only 2 colors. Once the grid has been colored, a picture is revealed that answers a riddle.
Note, incorrect equations are shown in a few different ways, based on mistakes I was seeing my students make. Some examples:
inaccurate answers ex: 9x7 = 72

Great and fun way to practice fractions! Practically no prep, just print and go. All you need is markers and two dice. Super easy game for students to learn too.
Practices:
comparing fractions (students have to decide which fraction they want to use after rolling the dice)
identifying fractions
using fractions bigger than 1 whole
it even could be a transition tool into adding fractions.
I made these cute stylish labels to adorn the "Teacher Survival Kits" I made for my fellow team mates! I wanted something to jazz up the plain containers I bought to put all the goodies.
The survival kits are NOT my idea, I cannot take credit for them, but if you want to put together your own, here is a list of what I put in mine:
Granola bar
Meal replacement bar
Cough drops
chap stick
Nail file
Wisp mini toothbrushes
mini mouthwash
mints
hand lotion
lint roller
headache medicine

Experience
I've taught 3rd grade for 7 years, and 4th grade for a half year.
Teaching style
I love hands on, actively engaging lessons. I love task cards and scoot type activities that get kids up and moving. I am a life long learner and love discovering and learning along with my students and have no problem telling a student, "I don't know!" usually followed by, "How can we figure that out?" The quest for knowledge and learning is a passion of mine and I hope that I inspire the same in my students.
