This writing prompt is meant to get kids thinking and writing about their favorite type of pizza, or to create a fantasy-style silly pizza. Sentence starter plus a blank pizza crust to decorate with the student's favorite toppings, or whatever they can think of. Great to use for opinion writing, or getting-to-know-you activities!

Students can follow the easily recognizable steps of how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, then write or draw in the step that is missing. Great for critical thinking, or a fun way to jump start a how-to writing unit.

Have students show what they know about the difference in the seasons. I had my students draw the same tree in all four seasons, but you could have your students draw what clothing would be appropriate, what activities you can do, or what the weather is like in each season. Great for so many tasks, feel free to use however you choose!

Use these pages to have students practice adding 10 to any number on both a number line, 2-digit addition model, and skip-counting. These can be great practice at your teacher table, as homework, or as independent practice.

I used these pages with students who struggle with adding one more to a number, or with knowing "what comes next" as they count. These can be easily used as a teacher table warm up, homework, or independent practice using a number line and the counting-on strategy.

Students can practice double facts as well as the Math Practice of critiquing others' work and attending to precision. Students must look at each fact and decide if it's true or false. If it's true they can color the circle; if it's false, they will cross it out.

Students must use phonics and blending skills in order to match the picture to the correct word. As they decide between the two choices, one real and one nonsense, they must ask themselves, "does this word make sense?" which can then be generalized and applied as an independent reading strategy.

I made this quick review/warm up for teacher table or independent practice. Have kids use their decoding skills as well as consonant blends to select the correct picture.

Celebrate your class' love of reading! I put this one up outside my classroom when the snow started to fall last year. Photocopy the covers of some books your students love to read. I also had my students decorate cutouts of snowflakes and gingerbread men to add a personal touch.

This worksheet can also be used as an exit ticket after whole group or independent reading.
