Independent Reading Response Journal
I have always struggled with helping my kids to understand what they are reading, when they read independently. If you have struggling readers you know that they will read the book, take the AR test and completely bomb. They can’t remember what they are reading from day-to-day.
So, I created this awesome reading journal. I have my struggling readers fill out one page per day. They will work on reading skills such as identifying setting, character traits, main idea, cause/effect, and so on. It has really helped my kids with comprehension because they are becoming more engaged with their chapter book. Kids also track the page they started reading on and finished so they are held accountable for actually reading during silent reading time. I found that just keeping track of their page number makes a huge difference in motivation!

• Recording sheet to show completion of each card
Topics include:

Science Lesson – Earth Day Webquest
Intermediate Science Lesson
By Brittany Washburn
Send your students to the computer and let them work independently through 8 interactive websites. A reading passage with vocabulary is included to help them answer the 4 essential questions. In my classroom I have my students answer the questions in their notebooks so that I can check for understanding when I review their notebooks. This can be done all at once (45 minutes for most students) or over several days in the classroom.
For more science webquests, check out my TpT Store, Blog, and Pinterest Boards

POETIC DEVICES QR CODES {RESEARCH}
POETIC DEVICES QR CODES
This is one of my favorite months – for one thing it is a festive season marked by the advent of Easter – and then, it’s National Poetry Month where an appreciation for all things poetic is fostered.
Now, we all know that in order for our students to write creative poems, they must have a sound knowledge of the poetic devices that play an instrumental role in impressing the reader, so with this in mind, I designed 120 QR Codes (40 color, 40 blackline, 40 answer codes) to make conceptual knowledge more concrete. Instead of me lecturing about the elements of poetry, students can find out for themselves by scanning the QR code on each card, writing their responses, and then checking the answers. Now isn’t that learning by Inquiry in itself?

Wish you a Happy Easter and creative National Poetry Month 🙂

FREE MATH LESSON – “Free Counting Song 1-20 (MP3)”
by Renee Dawn
PreKindergarten – 12th Grade
How do you get kids to behave, calm down, clean up, transition, do homework, time out, stand and stretch? It’s all made easier with a soothing voice counting the numbers 1 – 20 over relaxing music with a soft beat.
This “magic timer” counts numbers like a heartbeat. It is one beat per second, plus intro and fade-out; one minute of music in all. It’s a great behavior management tool to help kids calm their minds and focus on the task at hand. You can replay it for an extended countdown.
It’s also perfect for teaching kids to count numbers 1-20, as the pronunciation is slow, clear and correct.
It’s not just for kids! If you would like a minute of relaxation, then cup your palms over your eyes as you listen to this…
It’s FREE, so enjoy it…and if you would kindly leave your rating and feedback it would be greatly appreciated!
I hope you find this MP3 useful and helpful, and if you’d like to try the longer version it’s here:

FREE – Money Bingo with Online Bingo Caller – Math Centers Pack
Get a Math Centers Pack
Designed for third and fourth grade math centers, Money Bingo features an online bingo caller that will work on most personal computers with internet access. It can also be played on an an interactive whiteboard. Use the online bingo caller to draw random question cards and to display called answers while students play along with their own printed bingo cards.
This download features 4 player cards that can be printed either in black and white or in color. I prefer to print in black and white, as the students need to make calculations and write on their bingo cards.
The game is common core aligned for Third and Fourth Grades as follows:
Third Grade:
CCSS Math Content 3.NBT.A.2
Fluently add and subtract within 1000 using strategies and algorithms based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between addition and subtraction.
-Making change for purchases made with five and ten dollar bills
-Adding / subtracting to determine difference between the amount of money available and the listed price (i.e. The listed price is $3.50. You have 90 cents. How much more money do you need?
Fourth Grade:
CCSS Math.Content.4.MD.A.2
Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit.
-Making change for purchases made with five and ten dollar bills
-Adding / subtracting to determine difference between the amount of money available and the listed price (i.e. The listed price is $3.50. You have 90 cents. How much more money do you need?
-Simple multiplication / division to determine money equivalents ( i.e. How many dimes are in a five dollar bill?)

“I started selling at TpT in January of 2013 and, without much marketing, made steady progress and managed to reach the first milestone in October of 2014. After realizing the potential of this business, I decided that I MUST add marketing to my plan if I wanted to continue to rise in the marketplace to the next level. That is when I discovered Vicky’s product. With the guidance of this program, I have seen increases in all areas of my business and I have begun to enjoy the benefits of working with others for the common goal of increasing TpT awareness in the world marketplace. I highly recommend adding this to your own hard work and see where it can take you.”
