FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Halloween Reading Activity (Digital & Printable)”

by Growing Smart Readers

2nd – 3rd Grade

Students create a narrative by completing a digital cloze reading passage (not to be confused with close reading). If you have not introduced your students to Google Drive, or Google Slides, or are not sure how this works, it is easier than it looks.

Simple directions are included. This does not have an external link. *You create your own link once you put it into your Google Drive, and share/send to your students for them to OPEN in Google Slides so that they can interact with the text.* (Go to ask a question if you need help with this! I’m happy to help as best as I can.)

Please note: The student page has word boxes (movable pieces for the missing words) are given on the page. These word boxes are editable! In this case, the answer sheet included in this file would not apply.

This page can be differentiated.
So students who want more of a challenge, can delete any words from the boxes and type in their own words, if they choose. You, the teacher or parent, can edit the word choices/word boxes before sharing with your students. Or as mentioned above, they can type in their own words. Of course, they can use this ‘as is’, too.

This zip file contains 2 formats for the Halloween cloze reading passage:
1. PDF copy to print out for students who wish to write on paper
2. PowerPoint copy with movable and/or editable words that can be dropped and dragged into of the passage.
3. Halloween scene with movable parts to drop, drag, duplicate, and resize.

If you have questions, or something is not clear please go to Ask a Question first! I will respond as quickly as possible. Since this is new type of product for me to create, I would appreciate any feedback…so that I can make improvements on the next one!

If you haven’t tried paperless lessons yet, you should give it a try! I hope you and your students enjoy this free reading activity.

Please note that this is a zip file. Be sure you are able to open and extract the files.
Thanks for stopping by, and for your interest in this product.

I find the hardest part about Guided Reading and small group instruction is figuring out how to meet with all of your groups, especially since the number of groups may change back and forth throughout the year. These charts give you different ways to schedule your groups depending on the number of groups and the number of time slots.

3 slots- 4 groups
3 slots- 5 groups
3 slots- 6 groups
4 slots- 5 groups
4 slots- 6 groups

Here’s an easy paper management system developed by Laura Candler to deal with the problem of students forgetting to put names on their papers. When they finish their work, they slide their papers into a “paper drop,” a laminated brown envelope with a student checklist attached. At the end of the class period, pull out the papers to be sure you have everyone’s work. Then put the papers right back into the envelope to keep them together for grading later. The entire Paper Drop System system is described in this packet and includes the printables you need to make it work for you.

3 Tried & True Games to Teach Place Value & Rounding
By Kathie Yonemura of Tried and True Teaching Tools

Beginning of the year. . . I used to be so tempted to skip teaching place value because it seemed too simplistic, assuming kids knew how to read larger numbers. Plus I wanted to get on with the “real math”:multiplication and long division. WRONG! Developing number sense and place value are critical to understanding ALL math! **************************************************

The Left Angle Mystery
By Vicky Rauch of Scipi

Geometry is probably my favorite part of math to teach because it is so visual; plus, the subject lends itself to doing many hands-on activities, even with my college students. When our unit on points, lines and angles is finished, it is time for the unit test. Almost every year I ask the following question: What is a left angle? Some of the responses I have received over the years are disheartening.

FREE MATH LESSON – “(Not your ordinary…) Geometric Shape Bingo”

This entry was posted in 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade MATH LESSONS and tagged free on August 25, 2019 by Patrice Manchola (updated on August 18, 2019)

by Amy Bratsos

2nd – 5th Grade

I am very excited to share the revised version of my Geometric Shapes Bingo! The concepts and vocabulary remain the same, but the game and clue cards are redesigned using Powerpoint, giving the product a more attractive, kid-friendly “face lift”!!
This is NOT your ordinary Bingo game! This set includes 10 different reproducible Bingo cards with the traditional format of 24 squares and a “free space” in the middle. Each of the squares has a word or a picture of a different polygon, including such shapes as squares, rectangles, circles, trapezoids, rhombuses, right triangles, scalene triangles, isosceles triangles, obtuse triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons, There are 70 clue cards that the teacher reads and the students choose a corresponding square to cover- here is where the CHALLENGE begins! More than half of the clues can be answered correctly with more than one shape, so not only does the student have to be able to identify and classify shapes, s/he has to think strategically in order to cover the shape that increases the chances of filling an entire horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row. For example, the clue “this shape always has at least one right angle” could describe a right triangle, a square, or a rectangle, In addition to definitions using geometry vocabulary,the clues offer a variety of opportunities for higher level thinking. Knowledge of calculating perimeter and area, as well as familiarity with angle measurement are necessary to answer several of the clues.

The Common Core Standards challenge teachers to provide many opportunities for identifying, classifying, comparing, and problem solving using shapes, and this Bingo game is a good resource to use as a fun opportunity for students to practice these skills. I was very excited to stretch my own mathematical thinking as I created this game, and am enthusiastically working on other engaging and challenging lessons and activities to help our students gain a deep understanding of geometry.
This set includes
-10 colored reproducible game cards (because each clue has many possible answers, more than one student having a duplicate card isn’t a problem)
– Instructions for the traditional game, as well as several variations of the game to provide differentiation for a variety of skill and grade levels
-70 reproducible clues

The colored game cards produce a nice grayscale copy, but if you prefer blackline masters I would be happy to provide you with those free of charge.

Thank you for your interest in this game- I hope your students enjoy it and you see measurable growth in their ability to describe, identify,and classify shapes!

Kindergarten – 4th Grade

Here is a fun little pack of interactive activities that your students can complete during the first few days of school. They will help fill the void as you take care of back to school essentials such as form filling and parents.

Included in the pack are three Let’s Lace Up activity cards. The cards are really a fun way of completing the basic matching activity that we do all the time. Instead of using pencil and paper, the students use string to join the items on each column together. The string will match the answer sheet on the back if they are laced correctly. Two of the cards feature back to school pictures and words that the students will match, and the last card features back to school compound words. These are great hands on, self-checking, interactive activities for your students. There is also a direction sheet included in the download. Students will have fun with these cards during the first days of school.

The bookmark features more back to school words; after completing they can be laminated, and of course it can be a useful tool.

Welcome your students with a tasty back to school treat. Fill sandwich bags with lucky charms cereal then staple the bag topper onto the bag after cutting and folding on the line. The back of the bag topper gives an explanation of each marshmallow shape. The bag topper is made for regular sandwich bags that measure about 7 x 8. There are two versions included: “Welcome to School” and “Welcome Back to School”. I have also included a note that I place inside each bag for the students to read or to have an adult read to them. Students are always excited to receive this treat and will also have fun filling out the bar graph worksheet which can be done as a homework assignment or in class.

Thanks for downloading and I hope your class enjoys this fun pack as my class does!
