TT's Teaching Tools

"6.....7...." if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! I decided to create a 34-page packet of activities that teacher can use in their classroom to make this popular slang term a learning opportunity! Pages include, "When I am 67 Years Old," role playing, writing an acrostic poem, reading about 1967, jokes, making 67 from different items, art, foreign language, breathing, and much more! I would say most things are for upper elementary, but a lot can work for the littles, with some scaffolding, too! My

I included information that I wrote about what Leap Day and Leap Year is, made an activity page for students to interview a person who was born on Leap Day, and even included social studies with information about the Presidential Election that occurs during Leap Year and science with Leaping Animal Identification.

Thanks for looking! I am only able to upload one set of the scanned craftivities. If you wish to purchase, please message me with your email, and I WILL SEND YOU the remainder of the craftivities via email. I don't what else I can do. These craftivities are designed as a relaxer and a learning opportunity at the same time. They are all handwritten and illustrated by me. I feel like students need to see good old fashioned handwriting. They may not be the prettiest, but they are effective. There

I created my own book review template for my classroom. It is designed for chapter books, but can be edited. I included my editable version. I want to laminate these as my students start to complete them, so I can keep them sanitized and available in case my students are searching for a good book to read. The review includes a 1-5 star ranking, a summary, theme, setting, characters, illustration, and students must try to persuade me to read this WONDERFUL BOOK! :) I designed it to be printed lik

I created a Word document that contains the Think and Review questions that are usually located on the back of each World Community Studies Weekly newspaper. If there were few enough questions, I made it printer-friendly and added two sets of questions to one page. If there were a lot of questions, one set will have to be printed on one page. I left it in a Word document, so it can be edited as needed. I did not include weeks 1, 7, 11, and 18, because there were no questions for those weeks. Enj

I just finished teaching about time and money to my students. I could not find a review that covered first grade standards and were combined into one worksheet, so I made some myself! There are five pages. Each page has some time to the nearest hour and half hour practice. They money consists of dimes and pennies. They are NOT fancy, but fancy is not needed. :)

I decided to read this book to my students. I wanted to provide them with more than just knowledge level questions. After we finished each chapter, I provided thought provoking questions that I believe are at least a DOK 2. Students had to form opinions and defend their opinions. They had to predict. They had to summarize and discuss. The chapters are not provided with the questions, but you can tell after reading each chapter which questions are appropriate. There are 31 questions.

I wanted an activity to use in a few weeks for students to illustrate what they look like in a mask, with their eye color, hair color, and skin color. Then, I wanted them to be able to remove the mask and illustrate their big smile, as well as share some of their characteristics. However, I knew my kids would struggle to fold the appropriate ways and illustrate, so I made a template for them. I can't wait to try this! You might as well make mask-wearing enjoyable!
