FREE MISC. LESSON – “Test Behavior Clip Chart – Classroom Management – FREE! – Cute Polka Dots Prep”

by Teacher Tools and Time Savers

Pre-Kindergarten – 5th Grade

 

 

FREE Clip Chart Behavior Management System – Cute Polka Dots

By Teacher Tools and Time Savers

This is my version of the Oh-So-Popular “Clip Chart Behavior Management System” to match my Polka Dot Theme.

This system is tried and true and works wonders!
I use it in my classroom and LOVE it.

Learn more about this system here Rick Morris’ ebook about the Behavior Clip Chart

Directions:
Print and cut apart the cards.

Attach the cards together (so that they make a long chart) on poster paper and laminate for durability.

Write each child’s name on a clothes pin and clip to the chart. Each child starts the day on the green “Ready to Learn” section every day. Good behavior allows them to move up the chart, while poor behavior choices
cause them to move down the chart.

Check my store for forms that give
daily behavior reports to parents!

I’m sorry I cannot offer an unsecured/editable version of this product due to the terms of use of the clip art used and other copyright issues. Thank you for understanding.

Optional details can be added to completed snowmen.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Character Valentines: Fun for ELA 5-9”

by Spark Creativity

5th – 9th Grade

 

 

In this packet, you’ll find everything you need for a fun Valentine’s Day activity that works for any novel. Students will design and deliver valentines from one character to all the rest, then use their favorites to create a lovely display.

General Summary:
Divide students into groups and assign each group a character from the novel. Then give each group a mailbox handout, a box or bag or envelope (to use as a mailbox), a scissors, and the valentines. Each group will create a valentine for every other character from the perspective of their character and then deliver them into the mailboxes. Each group will read the valentines their character received and choose the two they think best reflect the characters’ relationship to share with the class and then hang up on the display.

What’s inside:

Mailbox Cover: Give each group a mailbox cover and have them fill it in with their character’s name. Then let them tape or staple it to the box, bag, or envelope they are using for a mailbox.

Example: You can print this out to show everyone before the activity if you wish. Stress that they are supposed to try to show their understanding of the characters in the novel through what they write on the valentines.

Valentines: There are eight blank valentines for each group. Have students fill in enough for however many characters you are using for the activity. Let students know that not all Valentine’s Day messages will be about love. Plenty of people send valentines to friends or relatives, or even, as in the example, people they don’t like.

Banner Letters: Print out these banner letters to spell “BE MINE”, cut them out, and hang them up on a patch of wall or a bulletin board. Then as each group shares their top two Valentines with the whole class, invite them to hang the pieces up under the banner for a great classroom display.

FREE MATH LESSON – “Why We Can’t Divide by Zero!”

by Scipi – Science and Math

5th – 8th Grade

 

 

One day, a student of mine, a mathphobic to be sure, asked, “Why can’t I divide by zero?” Promptly I gave him the answer that any good mathematician would. “You can’t divide by zero because 0 is undefined. It just cannot be done.” Well, that went over like a lead balloon; so, I knew it was time to sit and down and write out a plausible but understandable explanation that my students could understand.

That is what this two page free resource is – a sequential step-by-step explanation of why you cannot divide by zero. It starts off out by explaining what division is and how it relates to multiplication. It concludes with a simple visual to help the students remember the difference between 0 being in the numerator and 0 being in the denominator.

Are Your Kids Using Too Much Digital Media?

In a long, cold winter, there’s a whole lot of digital viewing going on! Probably too much!

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recently changed its digital media standards for children. (You can read about the new guidelines on my Reading Spotlight Blog (www.readingspotlight.com/blog/)

 

Do not underestimate the importance of human touch and interaction! Why not send home a gift of Reading Bingo Games for students to work on decoding words in short, enjoyable sessions with their parents and/or siblings?

 

A small cost for big rewards! Something different, something fun, something helpful for beginning/struggling readers in grades 1- 5, something short for tired and busy parents.

 

Kids will get some individual extra practice that you simply cannot provide in your busy classroom. Reinforce your lessons, or send home games with specific skills that need development for specific students. The ½ price TpT site license makes sending home copies easy.

 

This is a win—win—win–situation for students, parents, and their teachers! There are many Bingo games at my TpT Store: Reading Spotlight. Just call me The Bingo Lady! The games are clear, simple, and easy to use. Here are just a few:

FREE MATH LESSON – “Math Workshop: Exit Ticket Poster”

by Spot On Teaching

Kindergarten – 6th Grade

❤ ❤ ❤ Thank you for downloading this freebie! ❤ ❤ ❤

Closure is an extremely important, but often skipped, part of guided math. Students need time to reflect on the strategies they used during work time, ask questions, and discuss strategies with the class. This is also a great way to informally assess your students to guide your instruction.

Assign each student a number. They will write their reflection on a post it note and place it in the numbered box.

Tip: If you teach more than one class, use a different color post it note for each class.

Feel Free to share this freebie with your friends and colleagues!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “RIP Said (Said is Dead) Synonyms Booklet”

by Cinnamon’s Classroom

Kindergarten – 12th Grade

 

 

Need an engaging way to get your students to replace the overused word ‘said’ (often referred to as a tired/boring/dead word).
This free sample of my Boring Words Interactive Notebook and Synonym Booklets Bundle is a FUN way to get students to expand their vocabulary and improve their writing.This free sample includes:
♦ foldable booklet with numerous synonyms for said
♦ “RIP SAID” tombstone
♦ Instructions on how to create a 3D tombstone
♦ Instructions on how to create a mini foldable book
♦ The synonyms within the book are grouped together based on meaning; and the words are illustrated to show this.
♦ The splash of color in each image helps students zero in on the part of the picture that highlights context.
♦ The illustrations not only serve to show students the meaning of a word, they serve to entertain and engage learners as well.

The paid version of this resource includes:
♦ 700 descriptive words
♦ a “RIP Dead Words” bulletin board decor pack
♦ 20+ mini picture thesauruses that come in 3 print options (foldables, small cards, large cards)
♦ an interactive notebook!

Take a closer look at the complete set HERE

The story behind picture thesauruses

I created my picture thesauruses as a way to solve a problem I was having in my classroom. I wanted my students to be more descriptive in their writing, but the traditional resource used for finding better words – a thesaurus – was just not working! Students would arbitrarily select a word from the long list provided, and often, the word selected was used incorrectly (ie. not in the right context).

I began to wonder… how could I show my class that each word in a thesaurus has a slightly different meaning? If only there were visuals to help students SEE the subtle differences between synonyms, I thought.

So I began working on solving these problems… and presto, my mini “picture thesauruses” (yep, that’s a term I made up) were born. Kid friendly! Fun! Interactive! Engaging! Easy to use!!!

How the books are organized and why:

My bundle of mini books (in the complete set) is based on THE 5 SENSES + EMOTIONS because I find that when students describe the look, smell, taste, sound or feel of an object, it just catapults their writing to a whole new level. Using precise vocabulary to describe emotions helps students add some ‘voice’ to their writing!If you want your students to expand their vocabulary, you can download the complete set HERE.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Valentine’s Day Fun – Word Building Challenge”

by Amy Biddison – Teaching in Blue Jeans

2nd – 5th Grade

 

 

Valentine’s Day Word Challenge
Use this fun Valentine’s Day Word Challenge to engage your students in working with sounds and words. Students will use the scrambled letters from two common Valentine’s symbols to create as many other words as they can. The second goal is to decode the scrambled letters to figure out the challenge words.

This is a great activity to do whole class, individually or as a word work center. Make a game out of it by challenging students to create as many words as they can that other students do not have. My class also loves to find as many words as they can while racing the clock.

I hope you and your class enjoy this activity as much as we have!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Elaboration Mini-Lesson (FREE)”

by Jessica Osborne

3rd – 7th Grade

 

 

Elaboration Mini-Lesson – Use these slides in an elaboration mini-lesson to show students the difference between a story that lists events and a really good story that goes into details and has elaboration. I’ve found that sometimes students need an example of what it looks like to fix something that was done wrong rather than always being shown only the right way to do it. This is especially true when they are considering revision of their own writing. These can be used as a reminder before students begin writing, or even just before the revision step of the writing process on a story or essay that they think is already finished.

UPDATE: 11-3-14 A graphic organizer is now included which can be printed and given to students for analysis and elaboration on their own writing.

I have taken each section of the Literature Web from the William & Mary Language Arts Curriculum for Gifted and High Ability Readers and created a “job” for each. Students work in teams of 5 to create a Literature Web for a piece of text. Jobs are the Key Word Wizard, Feelings Fanatic, Big Idea Banker, Image and Symbol Maker, and Structure Supervisor. Each card also contains helpful hints for students to remind them about the types of things they can include for their assigned section of the Literature Web.
