My students loved watching their crystals grow and change over about a week's time; this recording sheet helped them keep track of their progress, and reflect on the growth at the end! This is a great addition to any geology unit, or just a fun science experiment!

I have had many young students over the years who even though they are toilet trained, experience some regression or have accidents. This chart will reinforce bathroom use for reluctant bathroom users, and reward students even for trying. Rewards can be changed based on individual interest.

Boards included focus on first grade skills such as long vowel teams (long i - i, ie, igh, y) (long o - oa, ow, oe) (long e - ie, ee, ea) (long e - ey, y), and a CVC word board.

Perfect for a snow day take-home activity or any other snowy occasion, this worksheet is a great hands-on activity to learn about types of snowflakes! Students can use a magnifying glass or just look closely to identify types of snowflakes. In my class I used this as a take home activity for a snow day. Students completed this with their families then brought it back the next day to discuss what different types of snowflakes we could all find. A great way to engage families for a home-school con
