FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Summer Literacy Tune-Ups (Free Poster: I CAN Statements for the Fridge!)”

by Growing Smart Readers

Kindergarten – 4th Grade

Don’t send the kids off this summer without this take-home poster and checklist for the fridge!

**Send this poster home with a summer tote bag of books and goodies!
Send this home to parents with your newsletter.
You can also email this file to your parents!**

This is what I sent home last year with my students–they loved taking this home as a reminder of easy, fun things they can do–nothing too difficult. These are simple, everyday literacy activities that DO contribute to growing into smart readers!

An extra page is for kids to write in their ideas for keeping tuned up with their literacy skills–You can also add math skills, too! Math literacy counts!! (Of course!)

How many times do you hear a parent or child say they want ideas of what to do over the summer? This is a “swimmingly” cute reminder of what kids CAN do over the summer. It’s a list of just a handful, 12 ideas, in fact….but it’s only a short list—because there’s so much more to do. This will spur them onto other ideas.

So, be sure to help them tune up this summer, and send this home with your kiddos. Remind them that tuning up can be more than just reading a book.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Find the Error – Error Analysis Blank Template”

by Runde’s Room

1st – 8th Grade

This is a blank template I use often in my classroom during math activities, or as a kind of group exit slip or diagnostic to see if students can spot the error. This resource includes both the powerpoint version (so you can add textboxes over top of where you wish to add your information), or the PDF – which is what I use. I simply project the PDF onto the whiteboard and we use our whiteboard markers to write in the boxes. You can also print and use the blank PDF and use a center or a guided math activity.

I use this activity as reinforcement/review when I see an error commonly happening in the classroom. I can quickly pull up the template (which I have as a shortcut on my computer desktop) and write in the question and incorrect solution. I ask students to look at the incorrect solution, find and circle the error on the board, and then model the correct solution on the right hand side.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Finding Factors Freebie”

by Downeast Teach

3rd – 6th Grade

The Common Core for 4th Grade states that students should be able to “find all factor pairs for a whole number in the range of 1-100” … and “determine whether a given number in the range of 1-100 is prime or composite.”

This Finding Factors Freebie is what I use to teach my 4th graders how to find all the factors of “Today’s Number” which is a routine we do as part of my SMARTBoard Math Calendar. Today’s Number is always whatever day of school it is, and we make an organized factor list, starting with 1 and the number. My students become experts on prime and composite numbers, as well as the difference between factors and multiples, thanks to this daily repetition.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Freebie – Carrot Comparisons – Comparing Texts”

by Ripper Reading Resources

3rd – 5th Grade

This is a freebie I put together to thank my followers on my new blog: http://ripperresources.blogspot.com.au/ and FB page https://www.facebook.com/RipperResources

You are welcome to download it, but I would ask that if you are not already a follower, that you become one, as I will be regularly sharing freebies with my followers and not always via TPT.

I put together this resource to use with the two companion texts: “Creepy Carrots” and “Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!” I find that students can make text-to-self connections quite easily, but need scaffolding and support sometimes to make text-to-text connections. These venn diagrams are designed to support the students to make text-to-text connections.

You may also like to check out my “Creepy Carrots” resource http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Creepy-Carrots-vocabulary-extension-and-creepy-vegie-writing-activities-904160
I had a lot of fun creating it 🙂

This resource is for personal/classroom use only and is not to be distributed further. Multiple licenses are now available at TpT for half price.

Now That School’s Out. What Will We Do for the Summer?

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

Summer is the time for fun, fun, fun! School is out no more hitting the books. The only problem is that much of what was learned during the school year is forgotten, “out of sight, out of mind.” Not so with these fun educational activities that will keep the children looking for more and not even realizing they’re learning.

by No-Nonsense Teaching

Kindergarten – 3rd Grade

Free. This will give you an example of the type of open-ended questions you will find in No-Nonsense Teaching read aloud ‘Theme’ series of resources. The paid ‘Theme’ series of resources includes enough purposeful talk questions to last 2 – 4 lessons depending on the book.

Quality open-ended comprehension questions take time to develop. No-Nonsense Teaching has done the time-consuming work for you.

The Hueys and the New Jumper by Oliver Jeffers is an entertaining read aloud which asks readers to reflect upon our need as humans to both conform with others and at the same time be an individual.

This resource includes scaffolded questions to help guide children in thinking deeply about the text and understanding the theme or big ideas.

The questions are intended to be used in conjunction with purposeful talk strategies.

These questions are incredibly valuable to:
* include in a school’s book room
* use the questions for discussion purposes at PLCs
* Literacy Coaches, Consultants and support teachers
* Administrators to lead PLCs and offer suggestions and book choices

Included:
* open-ended comprehension questions that require high-level thinking
* suggested flow of a lesson broken into BEFORE, DURING and AFTER reading

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Catch A Bug FREEBIE Game”

by The Dabbling Speechie

Pre-Kindergarten – 3rd Grade

Are you looking for a fun “Spring” reinforcer activity to use with your students? Do your little ones love bugs? Then this fun FREEBIE is just the activity to use to keep your students engaged and learning!! There are two variations to use this activity.

Catch a Bug Game
Directions for version #1: Print the bug jar (page 3) and the blank sheet of bugs (page 4) on card stock and laminate. Adhere velcro on the jar and bugs. Use as a token board or let the students take off a bug after they complete their speech or language target.

Directions for version #2: Print the bug jar (page 3) and the sheet of bugs with numbers (page 5) on card stock and laminate. Use an empty container and place all the bugs in the jar. I put paper clips on the bugs and then we used my magnetic fishing pole to catch bugs and earn points. The student with the most points wins the game!

FREE MISC. LESSON – “Think – Pair – Share Instructional Strategy”

by Create ‘n Time

1st – 12th Grade

“Think- Pair – Share” is a great strategy for differentiating learning and keeping students on task, resulting in more effective student learning. This strategy is also a very effective classroom management tool –it keeps students involved and provides opportunities for teachers to check for understanding. Think-Pair-Share has many benefits to student learning–builds in wait-time; provides rehearsal for responses; enhances depth and breadth of thinking; increases level of participation; keeps students on-task; provides processing time called for in 10:2 Theory. It’s great to use with all ages, including adults! Look for my Think-Pair-Share record sheet to reinforce students about what to do–available on Teachers Pay Teachers.
