End of the Year Musings

 I always approach the end of the school year with mixed emotions, though I’m ecstatic to be out for summer vacation, I always feel a little sad saying good-bye. Many of my soon to be 7th graders hug me and leave with tears in their eyes, knowing that our little family will no longer be together. All the trials and tribulations, the challenges, the fun times and sad times will always be with us, but it will never be the same.

End of the Year Musings

 

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

Baby Canada GeeseI always approach the end of the school year with mixed emotions, though I’m ecstatic to be out for summer vacation, I always feel a little sad saying good-bye.  Many of my soon to be 7th graders hug me and leave with tears in their eyes, knowing that our little family will no longer be together. All the trials and tribulations, the challenges, the fun times and sad times will be always be with us, but it will never be the same.

Reflecting back to the beginning of the year, I remember how small they were when they first entered my room, some shy and nervous about their first few days, others acting cool trying to impress their peers., especially those they don’t know. The first hurdle over, they’ve opened their lockers. Simple process for some while others end up in tears because they can’t figure out how to do it. By the end of the year, they look back at this and laugh at themselves.

How strict I am the first few weeks, trying very hard not to crack a smile. This is the time to get them into shape. so that we all have a great year. They learn the rules and always test me.  Finally, after awhile, I can let my hair down and be myself. I can crack jokes, they can joke around and we can all laugh together. This is when real learning takes place, and to see their “ah ha,” moments is what teaching is all about.

I love 6th graders, the majority are so willing to learn, that it makes teaching rewarding and enjoyable.. One of my favorite things is our morning discussions. Their backgrounds are quite diverse and I learn something new almost everyday. Many are knowledgeable about a lot of things and they’re eager to share. They can talk about whatever is on their mind, and they feel safe doing so. We are now, officially a family and I’ve become their surrogate parent.Sandhill Crane Flying

As I say good-bye, each of my kids takes a part of me with them.  I feel certain that I’ve given them the support, strength and confidence to move on to seventh grade.   The time has come for them to spread their wings a fly.

When I close the door for the final time, I take comfort in knowing that soon I’ll have another bunch of little chickadees to bring up.

 

Have a wonderful summer

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Free Short Story Rubric Creative Writing Peer & Teacher Editing”

by Tracee Orman

4th – 12th Grade

 

Short Story Rubric Creative Writing

 

Creative writing rubrics
This two page document includes: one peer-editing rubric and one teacher grading rubric (the rubrics are the same, but labeled differently for each page).
Includes the following categories: creativity, plot, development of characters, organization, spelling, grammar, and a Liked It/Didn’t Like It section. There is an explanation for every single point.

I use this at the end of our short story unit when students compose their own. Students love to read their classmates’ stories, but are usually unsure on how to give valuable feedback on creative writing. This rubric helps.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Multiplication Race Game”

by The Enlightened Elephant

3rd – 4th Grade

 

Multiplication Race Game

 

In this fun game, students race against their opponent to complete a set of multiplication problems. Each student has a set of the same problems, while they share one writing utensil. Players take turns completing problems and rolling a die. One player completes as many problems as they can before their opponent rolls a one and wins the pencil. Play continues until one player completes all of the problems on his/her sheet.

Multiplication problems cover single digit multiplication using numbers 0-9. This game is a great way to review and practice multiplication facts.

Includes 2 versions and an answer key.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Diffy – Fun Subtraction Math Game! Use with Integers, Fractions, Money”

by Rachel Lynette

2nd – 12th Grade

 

Diffy - Fun Subtraction Math Game

 

Diffy is a fun and intriguing math game that requires subtraction, logic, and pattern recognition to win. It can be played with whole numbers, negative numbers, fractions, and money. This game is challenging for both kids and adults!

You can play Diffy using the document camera with the whole class, or have students complete their own Diffy games either in worksheet format or at a center with laminated wipe-off sheets.

This download includes:
-Teacher intro and game sample
-Color Diffy game with directions
-Black and white diffy game with directions

These cards will look best in color, but will also print out fine in grayscale. Simply print and cut along the guidelines. Laminate and use them again and again. Alternatively, you could print on cardstock. It works well to keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Free Soil Lab”

by The Science Penguin

3rd – 5th Grade

 

Free Soil Lab

 

This soil freebie will help you and your students observe soil samples and test their capacity to retain water.

It contains recommendations and student recording pages.

Directions:
Set up 4 stations for students to record data. Include a different soil sample at each station. I like using gravel, sand, potting soil or loam, and clay. Each station should have a small container of the soil particles (like a petri dish), a graduated cylinder, funnel, and coffee filter.

Go over the question and write a hypothesis.

As a class, put 40 mL of water in each funnel containing a coffee filter and funnel with the particles inside. Allow time for the water to pass through the coffee filter and into the graduated cylinder.

Then, have students visit the stations to record their observations. Create a chart and graph of the data, draw conclusions, and answer the question.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Spelling Dictionary”

by Rockin Resources

1st – 5th Grade

 

Spelling Dictionary

 

Do your students struggle with correct spelling? Give each student a simplified spelling dictionary they can write in and keep! Although my students use this across disciplines, I designed it especially for my writing workshop. It is a list of alphabetized frequently used words and frequently misspelled words! There is also a place at the bottom of each page for students to add words that they use often in their own writing. In the back of the booklet, I included the following word lists:

Words for good, nice, great
Words for went, ran
Words for said
Days of the week
Seasons
Months of the year
Holidays
Numbers
Colors

Directions for a booklet, copy front and back. Then staple in the middle and fold over. No need for cutting!

My students use these every day in my writing workshop!

This also compliments our best selling writing workshop programs known to boost test scores!

Don’t Let the Pencil Craze Get to You!

TeacherCrossEyeTeacherPencilStationCRT

Are pencils driving you crazy?


Students not having a pencil?


Losing them? Breaking the tip?

The pencil craze got to me too!  It doesn’t need to!  During my student teaching we had cups with pencils at each group that we sharpened every morning and ensured there were plenty in each cup, which was great!  That was in first grade. Over the years, I became use to about 2-3 students per class not having a pencil, therefore, I always purchased a box or two at a time and handed pencils out to those students.   This year was a little different for me and the pencil craze got me!  So many lost pencils, broken pencil tips, or students just didn’t have a pencil.

I felt pencil crazed!  A solution must be found!!!

After much thought I came up with my “Pencil Station”!
