This freebie contains 5 sight words: if, long, about, got, six
Each page features a single target sight word with the following activities:
1. Read it and Color it Students will read the specified sight word aloud and color it in. This will help them build connections between the spoken and written word and pay attention to each letter.
2. Trace it Students will trace the specified sight word three times. This will help them practice good penmanship.
3. Find it Students will find and circle the specified sight word in the word search. This will help them practice and recognize the specified sight word. (They will also get to review the previous sight words at the same time.)
4. Fill in the missing letters Students will solve and fill in the missing letters. This will help them remember the spelling of the sight word.
5. Complete the sentence and Write one Students will write the specified sight word in the gap and read the sentence with the sight word. All of the sentences are designed to only include sight words that they have learned before (Dolch list) and simple phonetic (mostly cvc) words. Then they will write one sentence of their own. This will help them with reading fluency and writing.
6. Build it Students will cut and glue letters in the provided boxes to correctly build the given sight word. This will help them consolidate their memory of the sight word and practice their motor skills.

The problem with most Individual Behavior Plans and Check-In Slips is that they’re either too time consuming to write, or they require the teacher to decide on an average for a student’s behavior for the entire day–so if a student had a terrible morning but a wonderful afternoon, the only way to document it is with something half way between a happy face and a sad one. You won’t have that problem with this behavior card, because the days are divided up into five segments; if you notice great behavior in the morning, you can acknowledge the student by writing a star on their card right away, before it gets forgotten among all the other events of the day. I have found this to be a huge motivator for kids who need extra visual support (e.g., ELLs, and those with autism or ADHD). It eliminates the problem of students deciding to give up after they have slipped up a couple of times, because there is still a chance to redeem themselves later in the day.
More than just a behavior plan, this pocket-sized “Star Card” has three functions, all rolled into one:
1) It provides students with motivation to stay on track during each part of the day (morning, mid-morning, late morning, afternoon, and late afternoon). Cartoon reminders focus on the two most commonly needed target behaviors: keeping hands and feet to oneself, and staying seated and focused until work is finished.
2) It can be used as a check-in slip for parents, with designated space on the back to jot down any concerns or triumphs that you want parents to know more about.
3) It serves as a behavioral record, providing easy-to-scan documentation of behavioral patterns over time, showing which parts of the day/week are most challenging for a given student. This will allow you to easily make data-driven decisions to determine which interventions a student will benefit from the most.
These “Star Cards” are easy to print on 4×6” index cards. (No cutting required)! Positive behavior can be acknowledged either with a handwritten star (the fastest method), or with stickers. (The card is designed to work perfectly with Janyun’s pack of colorful happy-faced star stickers, which are 10mm/.4 inch). Negative behavior can be left blank, or you can write a quick explanation (e.g., “running across room”) in the square. Students will be excited to try for a “5-Star Day,” and even more excited to see if they can earn a “25-Star Week.” I recommend letting the pride of their accomplishment be its own reward, but teachers or parents might choose to reward an especially good week with their own token of recognition.
[Please Note: Most inkjet printers will allow for printing on 4×6 index cards via their rear feed tray, but you might want to double check that your printer can do this first].
Christmas Trivia – FREE Holiday activity! Twenty fun questions for your Christmas party that will have everyone thinking. A fun Christmas Trivia quiz, with some surprising answers!

Ready to join the maker movement and incorporate some design thinking into your classroom at the same time?
I was inspired by the amazing book Make Writing, by Angela Stockman, to create this ELA maker space project. First, students create something using art or maker materials. Then, they write about it.
Students who struggle with writer’s block will find their ideas flowing better. Students who love art will connect more to their writing. Students will have a chance to really visualize aspects of their writing before they begin.
From the Reviews:
” So fabulous, great for a class that just wouldn’t engage!”
“I love art and the idea of combining it with ELA has always interested me. I am looking forward to working with my art department on this project. At this time, I plan to have their art pieces displayed in the halls and invite parents for a gallery walk to view the art and read the stories. “
“I am so excited to use this! This is just the creative angle I have been looking for when it comes to writing stories with my students. Thank you so much for sharing!”
For this innovative creative writing unit, students will collaborate as a class to create the characters and settings of a fictional world they will then write about.
All students will make a character or setting out of whatever materials they choose, then present their maker pieces back to the class and display them.
Students will choose several characters and a setting or two and then write their stories, participating in a structured peer editing workshop before completing the final draft.
Finally, students will present their work to the world in whatever way they have chosen as a class, incorporating a final launch into the process that will give them an authentic audience and a more meaningful reason than a grade to take their work seriously.

For a busy time of year, this is an easy print-and-go set of holiday math / shopping activities for students working on money skills in elementary school or life skills classes. Put the sales flyers in a page protector and either cut out the task cards for single use or put them in a photo album or laminate for re-use.
The freebie consists of three sales flyers for holiday decorations, 8 task cards for writing in prices, and 2 print and go worksheets to answer questions about the flyer. The sales flyers are the same with 3 different levels of pricing. The worksheets are identical but one has a word bank to assist students. The worksheet with the word bank will only work with the stores called “Holly’s Decorations Sale.” It will not work for the third sheet because the Christmas tree price is different. The words from the bank could be cut out and pasted in the answer section, or laminated and attached with Velcro for re-use.
For more ideas for working with students with autism, check out my blog at Autism Classroom News .

This resource includes five handy square root charts, and along with each chart are pictures and text with a Christmas theme.
The text is first given in English then followed by Spanish. The Spanish is the type spoken by most of our students, such as by speakers in Latin America and Chicano communities rather than European Spanish (Castilian).
To help those without access to color printers, there are also eighteen public domain Christmas clip art, black-and-white images. All the images can be re-sized, moved about, cut-and-pasted.
There is a worksheet accompanied by an Answers Key.
Careers in Biology: A set of mini-posters for classroom display
Many of my high school biology students are interested in pursuing a career in the biological sciences, but they are very unaware of all the possible job opportunities available to them.
I created this set of 26 mini posters to display in my room to help my students realize the vast array of jobs that are available in biology. I plan to add to the collection as I have time, to include many more career options.
Use these for your bulletin boards or for a display for career week at your school.
Make your interactive notebooks more organized and student-friendly with this easy-to-use FREE resource! This set includes printable cover pages, tabs, and table of contents templates to help students personalize and manage their notebooks with ease.

These are now included in the interactive writing notebook bundles!!!

This is a Daily 5 recording sheets for students to use as they complete the Daily 5 activities each day. This one page can be used for three weeks. I have each day in a different color because I color code my days (I use red marker Monday, orange on Tuesday, etc…). I am sure these look just as cute if you print them in black and white as well. Enjoy!

Teaching is unique in that there often isn’t a training period like other jobs. You’re hired, the year starts, and you hold on for dear life. Every school and district is different, so even student teaching or your previous teaching positions can only prepare you so much. Teaching is a lot of on-the-job training . You may not even know you have a question until a situation that requires an answer comes up.
Here are 101 questions that teachers should know the answers to. The questions are categorized for easy reference:
Lesson Plans
Curriculum
Assessments
Grades
Schedule
Duties
Parent Communication
Room Decor
Supplies
Technology
Professional Development
Substitutes
Special Education and Support Services
Specials
Personnel and Staff Procedures
School Procedures
Teacher Evaluations
Student Information
Communication with Principal
Maybe you’ve asked these, or maybe they’ve yet to come up. It’s my hope that these are useful in many ways–asking them during a job interview, preparing for a new job or reassignment, or even just brushing up.

There is a mix of easy and difficult word scrambles in this fun holiday game! A key is included.

Students will sort animals by zoo and farm animals. There is one extension activity that is available for this center/game. Students will record the CVC nonsense words, based on their animal classification.

by Fat Little Kumara – Film Study Materials 11th – 12th Grade
This Pan’s Labyrinth Student Workbook for year 12 film study has enough work and lesson ideas to take up a term’s teaching, with page size and spelling formatted for the US classroom.
This is the color Google doc version for full editing.
A fun activity to help students see the relationship between cause and effect.
You can print the causes and effects on different color paper to help students differentiate between the two. Students will cut a matching cause and an effect then connect with glue, linking them together. Have them work in groups or independently to complete the chain.
