Post Winter Break: Find Someone Who Activity
A great way to have students share their activities over a break. This one is geared towards the winter break, but can easily be changed to reflect any break.
I don't do a lot of activities like this, but it helps with my classroom culture when we return as it allows them to talk during morning work. They want to talk when they return from break, so this gives them that freedom and makes it part of their 'school work.'

Greetings from Planet __ Research Slides
I created this easy set of planet research slides during the remote school days. I have used it in the 6th grade classroom for students needing more scaffolding and have used it whole class when I needed the planets mini unit to be even quicker! Included in this purchase is a set of 20 simple slides you can easily copy per student, partner or groups. Provide them with student friendly research links about the planets. NASA has great resources. The slides all contain sentence starters and reminde

Visual Models to find Equivalent Fractions
This interactive note sheet, intended to be cut and glued into a math journal, shows three different visual methods to finding common denominators. I intended to be a reference for more difficult common denominators. Also, I used it as a review after teaching all the methods, to make sure we had a solid model of the visual methods in our notes. Using colored pencils is a nice touch!

Additional biographical information
The name "Stuff and Things," is a tribute to my first 5th grade class. We discussed the need to be more descriptive and avoid saying 'stuff and things' in our writing and speaking and then it became our inside joke. So, since my creations do not fit nicely into one box, they are stuff and things.
I currently teach K-8 STEM, allowing me a great big swath of creative freedom. I've taught middle school science, 5th grade and 2nd grade. I started on TPT when we all only gave each other free resources and I loved the genuine sharing for our students benefits. Message me if price is an issue (it does add up!) and your school will not reimburse.
