The first day of school is often filled with so much administrative detail and introductions to the class that teachers don’t get a chance to really introduce themselves to the students and vice versa. This product, What About Me?, offers teachers and students a chance to reveal their thoughts and feelings about school and themselves to each other. This is a great way for students to find out what their teachers expect from them, and for teachers to understand what impacts their students academically. Teachers should fill out their sheets ahead of time, but not hand them out to the students until they complete theirs.If there is time in class, students can start their sheets, but might feel more comfortable completing them at home. Teachers should require them to be finished within the first few days of school so they can get to know their learners as soon as possible.

I made these little cards to help keep my “buddies” engaged in meaningful conversations while partner reading. I copied mine front to back on colored cardstock, laminated, chopped, hole-punched in the corner, and made little rings of questions that buddies can easily grab.
I teach my kids a pattern for buddy reading – Partner A reads a page while B listens and follows along. Partner B asks A a question from the ring. Partner B reads a page while A listens. Partner A asks B a question from the ring.
It seems to help both partners stay on task even if the other one is reading.
Thanks! If you’d like to check out my blog post about these handy cards just click the link for Teacher Trap. 🙂

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!

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.

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.
The construction and analysis of magic squares provides practice in mental arithmetic, operations with numbers, geometry, and measurement plus it encourages logical reasoning and creativity, all in a game-like setting. Furthermore, they are a powerful tool for teaching students basic addition skills since each row, column, and diagonal must add up to be the same sum.
The three letters of this 10 page free resource are solved in a similar way. Number tiles are arranged in such a manner that the sum of the tiles that form each straight line of the letter equal the same sum. The designated sum for the letter is written on each page as well as the number tiles to be used. Most of the three letter puzzles have more than one answer; so, students are challenged to find a variety of solutions.
The activities require that the students use each number tile only once. However, some of the activities will not require the use of all ten tiles; so, reading and following the directions before beginning each math-a-magical puzzle is important. Answer recording sheets are provided for the student as well as possible solutions for the teacher. A Number Tile Keeper in addition to a blackline of the number tiles is located at the end of this 10 page resource.
This slideshow can serve as an introduction or a review of the properties of multiplication. Slides explain and provide examples of the Commutative, Associative, Zero, and Identity properties of multiplication.
