“When it comes to adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers, many students have great difficulty. In reality, it is a very confusing and abstract idea; so, it is important to give the students a concrete visual to assist them in seeing the solution. Find out how I teach this concept to my remedial college math students in my newest blog post. “
This clip chart is used to track students’ progress as they go through the writing process. Students change their clip after conferencing with an adult so that students can work at different paces. This helps with differentiation for writing.
There are three sets of clip charts and they can be used separately or mix and matched. There is black and white chevron, yellow and white chevron, and pink and lime green polka dots. These match my classroom decor sets.

GREAT for Black History Month Paired Passages! This is perfect for improving students’ reading comprehension and written response to text-just in time for end of the year testing!
************************************************************************** I am so excited to share these five sets of questions that can be used for African American historical figures and hero paired passages. For each person, there is one page of paired comprehension questions and one extended response question. The pairs of historical figures included are: Jesse Owens & Ruby Bridges Frederick Douglass & George Washington Carver Martin Luther King & Thurgood Marshall Harriet Tubman & Sojourner Truth Mary McLeod Bethune & Rosa Parks
Students may conduct research to answer these questions via computers, apps, or nonfiction books. I also recommend my Black History Month Close Reading Passages for the information needed to answer the questions.

The Memory Coat book study goes along with an blog post about teaching inference.
This heart-warming book is about families immigrating to America to escape persecution. A young boy lost his parents due to an epidemic and he ends up living with his relatives. His only reminder of his family is the coat his mother made for him. Grisha’s coat is tattered on the outside but beautiful on the inside. This story is about the family’s journey to American and going through the immigration process at Ellis Island.
In this FREE unit, activities include making inferences, vocabulary, and crafts with a coat and suitcase. This unit can go with cultural studies, historic fiction, and family heritage.
