Dear Beast is a hilarious series about a boy's cat and dog and their relationship with each other. The only things is that they live in different houses, and communicate through letters.

You really never know when you're going to need to pull data on a student, and this progress report is the best data tracker I've used so far in my career. Every time my students take an assessment or I test their reading level for the marking period, I write in how they did. At the end of every marking period, I send these home to parents to justify my marking period grades on students' report cards. Not only is this a great snapshot of student progress, but parents (or teachers) can pass these

Perfect for elementary and middle school, these skip counting number posters are ideal for math teachers and specialists. I've designed these to have each number in numeral form with basic skip counting facts up to 12 inside each number. Even though I only use these as anchor charts in my 2nd grade classroom, my colleagues in 3rd use these during math centers for small groups and while students are working on their own. Why is this amazing?* Promotes academic independence * Colorful (but not ove

Class Jobs are a great classroom management strategy because they teach responsibility! These class jobs are suitable for Pre-k, Elementary, Middle, and High School. Use a little sticky tack or a velcro dot to attach numbers to the top of each job, so you have the ability to change jobs weekly or monthly. Why is this amazing?* Promotes student responsibility independence * Fosters a positive classroom community where all students feel present * Colorful (but not overstimulating) classroom charts

Perfect for 1st to 7th grade, my sentence punctuation posters are amazing for writing support. I've designed these to be in extremely student friendly language, so they can be used as anchor charts throughout my classroom. My current 2nd grade students even wanted me to upload these to Schoology so they can use them when writing in class and for homework. Why is this amazing? * Promotes academic independence * Colorful (but not overstimulating) classroom anchor charts * Only use what you ne

Perfect for lower elementary, these 10-frame posters are ideal for math instruction and math centers. I've designed these to have each number in numeral form, word form, and in pictorial form using counters on a 10-frame. Even though I only use these as anchor charts in my 2nd grade classroom, my colleagues in 1st and K use these with play dough during math centers in communicators (or even laminated)! Why is this amazing?* Promotes academic independence * Colorful (but not overstimulating) clas

Whether you teach Pre-k, 6th, or even adult ESL/ELL, alphabet letter posters are just a staple in a classroom. I've designed these to have an uppercase letter, lowercase letter, and picture that you can use as a drill sound for learning the sounds of our alphabet. My current 2nd grade students especially use the B, D, S, and Z posters to help them when writing and we even refer to these during phonics instruction. Why is this amazing?* Promotes academic independence * Colorful (but not overstimu

I'm so happy to share one of my favorite projects of the school year: Black History Month & Women's History Month LAPBOOK Writing Research Project. With the crossover between Black female historians, I combined both of these observances into a research project. When I did this project with my 3rd graders last year, I used this as a way to extend our Information Writing topic. Projects were then posted to my hallway bulletin board! I've made both versions of this project, and depending on your

For anyone looking for a behavior accountability chart for daily and monthly use, this is for you. I developed this for students who I suspected may need extra support this year. These charts have helped me collect data for 504/IEPs and have helped keep in communication with parents. I like to motivate students with *free* in class rewards such as not wearing shoes, and includes a whole choice board for students to choose from daily or monthly when they meet their goals. This resource is full

Here's a novel study for the last 2 weeks of school - Dear Beast #2! Dear Beast is a hilarious series about a boy's cat and dog and their relationship with each other. The only things is that they live in different houses, and communicate through letters. Simon (the cat) is extremely sassy coded and Beast (the dog, and also his nickname) is super goofy and horrible at spelling! Your students will relate to Beast's spelling skills and will giggle along with Simon's sarcasm as you end the school y
