This is a great time filler! Included for each Pixar Short (collection 2) film are 3-4 writing prompts with 2 different lined paper options. Each writing prompt has a grade 2-3 spaced paper and grades 4th and up lined paper for responses. Also included at the end are ALL of the questions for you to distribute on your own without the lined paper or for discussion groups. I love doing these at the end of the year when kids are antsy and teachers are running low on fuel! There are 40 writing prom

A very kid friendly (and teacher friendly) graph for Reading Naturally. To be used for cold/hot times so children can see their progress in their reading. I have other graphs as well for Reading Naturally!

I created this for my son's preschool class. I cut out each "bag" with a picture and word(s) on it and distributed it to each student. I put a brown shopping bag in the middle of the circle and when we read the story and got to their item, they got to put their card into the bag. They LOVED it and wanted to do it again. Simple and sweet and there are so many other things you can do with these cards for this story (like sorting food groups, etc).

I have changed my previous charts to be simple and more economically (and environmentally) friendly. These posters can be used with the Bridges® Math Number Corner for all grade levels for the Record Sheets portion. The posters all show which months/grades they can be used for at the bottom and the headings for each column can be written at the top. You can send this PDF to your local print shop and ask for it to be printed on Arch D paper (size 24 x 36). They can also be printed on regular pr

A great book report assignment that is both in English and Spanish. Fun for kids and a great introduction to book reports and developing the love of reading!

Students will find parts of 100 using printable large ovens- print on legal size paper and you can increase the size to 11x14 at your local print shop for large work-mats (I like to laminate them and use them multiple times), cookie trays and counters, and finish off with a partner worksheet. This is a fun way for students to find parts of 100 and even can have a little treat when they are finished by eating their counters. I found 4D printable ovens off of Etsy that I used for my lesson. They w

Fun ice cream cone glyphs for the first week of school! Students will color 3 scoops, a cone, and either a cherry or strawberry (according to the legend). Students will then cut and glue in that order. I suggest having them glue the instruction legend to the back of their background paper (I use large black construction paper) and writing their names in white crayon on the front.

This is a Common Core aligned lesson for grades 2 and 3 (I teach a combo!). It is extremely fun and my principal LOVED it... alongside my class! Included in this purchase is a detail lesson plan with materials, time frames, standards, extension activity suggestions, assessment worksheet, exit tickets, word charts, and a reflection after I taught the lesson. GREAT observation lesson!

Six jobs with clear descriptions for each student. Illustrator, Director, Word Finder, Summarizer, Predictor, Comprehension Connector. Simple and clearly laid out for lit circle time. Great for 3rd grade and up but could be used for high 2nd grade readers.

This is a complete lesson with NGSS, Common Core Standards, and Mathematical Practices included. This lesson comes with time frames, extra resources and websites to print additional resources, materials list, and objectives. This is a great lesson with hands-on activities, fast finisher options, whole group reading and independent reading, group activity, writing activity, and best of all is that it's integrated science, math, and ELA.

Grab some freeze dried snacks (we did fruit from Trader Joes) and some freeze dried ice cream (purchased online) for the class to share. This is a fun activity to work with any space learning. Anything involving food.... kids will love! Students taste and compare freeze dried "astronaut" food and write a response.

Remember those books we used to read years ago where the reader decides which path to take and turns pages according to what you chose? I wanted to bring it back! We are in the process of completing a teacher lesson plan template to guide their students' own creative writing process through trails but I wanted to introduce you to our first one since Thanksgiving is coming up! Students will cut and assemble each page (I left ample room to staple the books together). There are a few opportunities

This is 2nd grade lesson plan with Common Core Standards. It is an integrated Science and ELA- Writing lesson using Thinking Maps as a tool. This lesson comes with a goal, time frame, materials list, and extension activities.

FUN! Kids get to cut out and paste Halloween cards onto their blank game boards. Larger sizes teacher cards are included. Cut them out and put them in a bag (or cauldron!). Pull one card out at a time and student place something on their game board. I like to use candy corn, M&Ms, or hershey's kisses! When they are done, they get to enjoy their treats. "Winners" in my class win either a homework pass or incentive money they can use at our monthly classroom store. Great for any age!

Students will identify vocabulary word, part of speech, definition, passage from book, and create their own sentence using that word. 2 entries per page.

A fun little math activity where students solve multiplication problems and color leaves with the corresponding colors in the key. A great homework, fast finisher, or bell work page.

To go alongside Responsive Classroom Mix and Mingle ideas. These are holiday cards where students need to find their "match". When they find their match, a variety of activities can be done to enforce any academic area you are learning. If you wanted to solely stay with the cards, they can work together to put their word in a sentence OR ask a question to each other using that word. There are 12 words and 12 definitions.

Cut out the cute colorful cameras, laminate them, and adhere a magnet and paperclip to them (some use clothespins). We like to stick them to a filing cabinet or magnetic whiteboard. When students are done with their work and are proud of it, they grab one and paperclip it to their work. Clothespins are bulkier when student work is stacked so we changed it to paperclips/magnets instead! Yours to enjoy- free!
