After we have discussed several miracle bible stories about Jesus, we do some magic tricks. Then we discuss the difference between miracle and magic.
This printable asks the students to look at the images and circle the correct answer (miracle or magic). For younger children, you could have them color or circle the images that are miracles and cross the images that illustrated magic.

by The Three Square Pegs Pre-Kindergarten – 12th Grade
A free checklist for classroom teachers (and school nurses) to help make sure a plan is in place to help keep children with severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts safe in the school environment.
Students will review number identification with the number cards game. There are fifty cards. Twelve of the cards have a yellow star on them. When played in a group students take turns taking a card from the pile as they speak the number aloud. When a student draws a card with a star, they get an extra turn. The student with the most cards, at the end of the game, wins. I would encourage you to laminate the cards. My store has more number cards games with a different picture. Check them out.
Are you tired of the same old regrouping practice sheets? Put a little fun into your students’ practice with these three practice sheet freebies. There is one regrouping subtraction sheet each for tens, hundreds and thousands. Each sheet has a grading key.;

The resource addresses Common Core standards: 2.NBT.B.5, 2.NBT.B.7, 3.NBT.A.2, 4.NBT.B.4
These freebies are taken from a larger resource called “Dragon Eggs: A Regrouping Math Story Unit. To check it out go to:
This guide was created to help your most vulnerable students. You can post this infographic in your lunchroom or classroom to educate students on some common allergies and intolerances. Make them aware that being a good citizen means caring for others. The golden rule: Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Thus, empathy means knowing that you would like others to look out for your safety if you had an allergy.
It is editable to allow adding an allergy or intolerance that is not highlighted here yet is an issue within your classroom.
An original short story entitled “Between Death and Life”. This story tells about the death of a man named William Kind (symbolic for the kind of person he was.) Each chapter tells the scene at the emergency room where William dies of a heart attack. The first chapter is told from the perspective of his wife; the second from his son, Michael; the third from the doctor; and the fourth and final chapter is told by William himself. There are review questions after the story for student comprehension and reflection. The margins on the left side were intentionally made wider to facilitate student annotation (see annotation handout linked under “Helpful Resources”) including drawing pictures of events, asking questions, commenting on events, highlighting new vocabulary words, summarizing paragraphs, etc. This is great as a warm-up, class activity, or homework to strengthen reading skills and use of strategies. I am open to feedback and suggestions on how to make this lesson better! Includes 8 multiple-choice questions with answer key. Editable MS Word document.
