Kindness and Valentine for Young Children

This entry was posted in Valentine's Day on January 15, 2016 by Asa Jomard (updated on January 15, 2016)

Grades: Kindergarten- 4th, Valentine’s Day, Life Skills, Critical Thinking

By Sparking Children’s Thinkbility

Fun and engaging exercises to explore love and kindness

The children start by exploring questions such as “How can you spread love wherever you go?” and “How can you dream big?” The students are asked to extract ideas, such as “Put love in an ice-cream and share it.” These ideas may help them when they design a machine that spreads love or write a heart-shaped poem.

The students are also asked to think about different aspects of the design of the machine, for example, “How you want to spread the love?” and “What kind of love do you want to spread?”

Question cards + blank cards

Language Arts – “Reading Final Stable Syllables”

This entry was posted in 2nd Grade 3rd Grade LANGUAGE ARTS LESSONS on January 15, 2016 by amandatrump (updated on January 10, 2016)

This reading packet provides 23 word lists of the final stable syllable type words. Also, a master list of all the words is included as a quick reference. A final stable consonant is one of the six types of syllables in reading. Each list in this unit includes words using all the vowels with a final stable consonant. Reading will become more manageable for students once they understand syllable types. Download my free alphabet cards. Using these cards will give students another strategy to help them decode and encode words. These ready-made word lists can be used in the multiple ways:
• as a source to help you in create your own reading and spelling activities
• for ABC order
• to complete word sorts
• develop more accurate and fluent readers
• read words for homework
• use for spelling lists
• quick reading assessments
• practice and re-teach reading skills
• supplement general education curriculum
• compare and contrast with other syllable types
• use at a word work station
• printed as a student booklet by clicking print, printer properties, and booklet.

FREE MATH LESSON – Math Addition Game

Grades 1-3

When I first began creating products for Teachers Pay Teachers, I experimented a little with creating some fun, tic-tac-toe math games. That is where this freebie was born! (Hence my old Owl Teacher Logo.)

This is a fun game where students play in pairs practicing their basic addition facts! Here’s how it works…

Students draws a card and chooses a place to put their designated letter (an X or an O). Just like tic-tac-toe, students want to get three in a row to win, while blocking and preventing their partner from doing just that. So in order to place their letter, they must solve the math problem correctly. Each time a student wins a round, he or she will keep that task card and move on to another. The student with the most task cards at the end, wins! Below is an image of four different task cards!

You can download this entire set of task cards FREE by heading over to my Teachers Pay Teachers store here.

Happy Teaching!

Be a Snowflake Detective: Sparkling Crystal Fun & Facts

This entry was posted in 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade Kindergarten MATH LESSONS SCIENCE LESSONS on January 15, 2016 by Asa Jomard

Grades Kindergarten-4th Science, Geometry, Winter

All a snowflake detective need is snow, a magnifier glass and patience. As with all beauty, part of the allure is mystery. And snowflakes are beautiful.

Understanding snowflakes is not as simple as it might sound. But one thing is certain, namely that inner working of the way ice crystals grow in the clouds is a process that is still a bit of a puzzle to scientists.

A snowflake begins life as a dust particle in a cloud. If it is cold, water vapor condense on the dust and crystals are formed. The crystals grow and grow and eventually they become too heavy and large and a snowflake falls out of the cloud.

This package contains:

How many snowflakes can you see?
Life cycle cards
Different types of snowflake cards
Think diving – What is the connection between ice crystals and a snowflake?
Fun facts
Snow Words
Sparkling Crystal Dictionary + Add your own words
Ask the Snowman Sparkling Questions about Snowflakes and Crystals
How Does a Snowflake Grow?
Can you make a giant snowflake?
Describe a snowflake
How to grow a snowflake?
Imagine strong winds
Random inspiration and Symmetry Using a Snowflake Dice (template included)
Imagine different colors
Snowflake Math Detective
Story writing – What if the seasons get mixed up?
