FREE MISC. LESSON – “Test Behavior Clip Chart – Classroom Management – FREE! – Cute Polka Dots Prep”

by Teacher Tools and Time Savers

Pre-Kindergarten – 5th Grade

 

 

FREE Clip Chart Behavior Management System – Cute Polka Dots

By Teacher Tools and Time Savers

This is my version of the Oh-So-Popular “Clip Chart Behavior Management System” to match my Polka Dot Theme.

This system is tried and true and works wonders!
I use it in my classroom and LOVE it.

Learn more about this system here Rick Morris’ ebook about the Behavior Clip Chart

Directions:
Print and cut apart the cards.

Attach the cards together (so that they make a long chart) on poster paper and laminate for durability.

Write each child’s name on a clothes pin and clip to the chart. Each child starts the day on the green “Ready to Learn” section every day. Good behavior allows them to move up the chart, while poor behavior choices
cause them to move down the chart.

Check my store for forms that give
daily behavior reports to parents!

I’m sorry I cannot offer an unsecured/editable version of this product due to the terms of use of the clip art used and other copyright issues. Thank you for understanding.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Reading Log for School or Home”

by Love Learn Teach

1st – 4th Grade

 

 

Use this reading log for weekly homework accountability, to track extra reading done by students at home, or even make a booklet for students to use each month or quarter with a reading goal in mind.

Requiring students to write a sentence of reflection after reading helps them to make connections between their reading at home and the lessons learned in class. You may even direct students to write specific types of reflections based on each day’s skill or week’s focus (theme, cause/effect, main idea, etc.).

When I created this reading log, we were struggling with students’ sentence writing skills in our grade level. We used this reflection piece as part of their language arts/writing grade each week to hold students accountable for using proper writing conventions.

Are Your Kids Using Too Much Digital Media?

In a long, cold winter, there’s a whole lot of digital viewing going on! Probably too much!

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently changed its digital media standards for children. (You can read about the new guidelines on my Reading Spotlight Blog (www.readingspotlight.com/blog/)

 

Do not underestimate the importance of human touch and interaction! Why not send home a gift of Reading Bingo Games for students to work on decoding words in short, enjoyable sessions with their parents and/or siblings?

 

A small cost for big rewards! Something different, something fun, something helpful for beginning/struggling readers in grades 1- 5, something short for tired and busy parents.

 

Kids will get some individual extra practice that you simply cannot provide in your busy classroom. Reinforce your lessons, or send home games with specific skills that need development for specific students. The ½ price TpT site license makes sending home copies easy.

 

This is a win—win—win–situation for students, parents, and their teachers! There are many Bingo games at my TpT Store: Reading Spotlight. Just call me The Bingo Lady! The games are clear, simple, and easy to use. Here are just a few:

FREE MATH LESSON – “Math Workshop: Exit Ticket Poster”

by Spot On Teaching

Kindergarten – 6th Grade

❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you for downloading this freebie! ❤ ❤ ❤

Closure is an extremely important, but often skipped, part of guided math. Students need time to reflect on the strategies they used during work time, ask questions, and discuss strategies with the class. This is also a great way to informally assess your students to guide your instruction.

Assign each student a number. They will write their reflection on a post it note and place it in the numbered box.

Tip: If you teach more than one class, use a different color post it note for each class.

Feel Free to share this freebie with your friends and colleagues!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “RIP Said (Said is Dead) Synonyms Booklet”

by Cinnamon’s Classroom

Kindergarten – 12th Grade

 

 

Need an engaging way to get your students to replace the overused word ‘said’ (often referred to as a tired/boring/dead word).
This free sample of my Boring Words Interactive Notebook and Synonym Booklets Bundle is a FUN way to get students to expand their vocabulary and improve their writing.This free sample includes:
♦ foldable booklet with numerous synonyms for said
♦ “RIP SAID” tombstone
♦ Instructions on how to create a 3D tombstone
♦ Instructions on how to create a mini foldable book
♦ The synonyms within the book are grouped together based on meaning; and the words are illustrated to show this.
♦ The splash of color in each image helps students zero in on the part of the picture that highlights context.
♦ The illustrations not only serve to show students the meaning of a word, they serve to entertain and engage learners as well.

The paid version of this resource includes:
♦ 700 descriptive words
♦ a “RIP Dead Words” bulletin board decor pack
♦ 20+ mini picture thesauruses that come in 3 print options (foldables, small cards, large cards)
♦ an interactive notebook!

Take a closer look at the complete set HERE

The story behind picture thesauruses

I created my picture thesauruses as a way to solve a problem I was having in my classroom. I wanted my students to be more descriptive in their writing, but the traditional resource used for finding better words – a thesaurus – was just not working! Students would arbitrarily select a word from the long list provided, and often, the word selected was used incorrectly (ie. not in the right context).

I began to wonder… how could I show my class that each word in a thesaurus has a slightly different meaning? If only there were visuals to help students SEE the subtle differences between synonyms, I thought.

So I began working on solving these problems… and presto, my mini “picture thesauruses” (yep, that’s a term I made up) were born. Kid friendly! Fun! Interactive! Engaging! Easy to use!!!

How the books are organized and why:

My bundle of mini books (in the complete set) is based on THE 5 SENSES + EMOTIONS because I find that when students describe the look, smell, taste, sound or feel of an object, it just catapults their writing to a whole new level. Using precise vocabulary to describe emotions helps students add some ‘voice’ to their writing!If you want your students to expand their vocabulary, you can download the complete set HERE.
