Another great activity for any invention unit! Students are responsible for building their own device to protect an egg when dropped from different heights. Students go through the trial and error process at home by testing and adapting their device before bringing it to class for the final test! We've always done this as a competition, amongst the students and the classes and the kids have always loved it! They are very enthusiastic about creating something that can last all three rounds

A quick worksheet where students identify nouns and proper nouns. This can be used as a mini-lesson, center work, or even as an informal or formal assessment.

A creative spin on a book report for the realistic fiction genre. Students are asked to fill out a soup can label with information about the book they've read including, important events, main characters, and opinions about the book. Their soup cans around the room is a fun way to display your student's work!

A word sort activity to help students understand the different forms adverbs take. A creative ways to expose children to the different variations and uses of adverbs.

A simple log that makes students accountable for the books they are reading. Gives the teacher quick feedback such as: - Which genres of books their students are reading - Whether or not their students are reading books at an appropriate level - A general sense of comprehension and understanding

A great writing activity to help students understand how to use point of view in their writing. This activity focuses on a specific writing assignment, but the lessons on point of view can then be carried over into all of their writing.
