Christmas * Christmas * Christmas * Christmas * Christmas

Christmas Idioms Scavenger Hunt {FREE} makes practicing holiday-themed idioms fun! Included are 12 cards that require students to determine the meaning of an idiom in context. This is a perfect activity to use with the whole class or in small groups during the Christmas season!

As the teacher, you will place the cards in secret places all around the room. Students will hunt for a card and read the sentence (with an idiom) on that card. Then, students will hunt around the room trying to find the definition to the idiom they just read on a different card. When they find the card with that answer, they’ll read the sentence shown on that card and then go on a hunt again. Students will love moving around the room trying to find their next question card!

Included with this Christmas Idioms Scavenger Hunt:
• Instructions for setup and how to play
• 12 idioms scavenger hunt cards
• Answer sheets
• Answer key

2nd – 12th Grade

For a busy time of year, this is an easy print-and-go set of holiday math / shopping activities for students working on money skills in elementary school or life skills classes. Put the sales flyers in a page protector and either cut out the task cards for single use or put them in a photo album or laminate for re-use.

This freebie is a sneak peek of of my Economics of Shopping Series

The freebie consists of three sales flyers for holiday decorations, 8 task cards for writing in prices, and 2 print and go worksheets to answer questions about the flyer. The sales flyers are the same with 3 different levels of pricing. The worksheets are identical but one has a word bank to assist students. The worksheet with the word bank will only work with the stores called “Holly’s Decorations Sale.” It will not work for the third sheet because the Christmas tree price is different. The words from the bank could be cut out and pasted in the answer section, or laminated and attached with Velcro for re-use.

For more ideas for working with students with autism, check out my blog at Autism Classroom News .

FREE Christmas Math Activity– These are versions of fun, holiday shopping math activities for students who are learning about rounding, estimation, and percent (sales tax). The first activity is easier and includes practice with rounding and estimation. The second one is more difficult and includes practice with determining sales tax and total cost of an item. Both activities can be used in one class if differentiation is a goal or if students are able to do both. They could also be used in a math center.

These are authentic activities because the activities are real world situations. I can see this fitting into Common Core Math standards.

You will need to have store advertisements available (either paper or electronic online versions).

I can remember my grandmother sitting in her big rocking chair that was placed in her favorite spot, next to a picture window where she kept all of her plants. I would sit on her lap and she would sing about the beautiful autumn leaves dancing to the ground in their colorful dresses. I can’t remember the tune or the words, but that wonderful memory has always been vivid in my mind. as if it were yesterday. I’m so thankful for this experience.

I can remember standing on the front porch waiting for my mom to take me shopping downtown. I loved to shop with her. We used to go to a store called Eli Moore, they had everything that a little girl could want. First stop was the shoe department, and I’d get my black patent leather shoes, next we’d go to the clothes department. I was so spoiled back then, as an only child, I was showered with beautiful things to wear and great toys. Shopping done, we’d go to this café for lunch and a yummy desert. My mom passed on when I was 15 so these moments mean so much for me and I’m thankful for the short time that I was able to spend with her.

I have so many things to be thankful for, a wonderful husband, my Siberian Husky, friends and family who love me. We’re healthy, other than some aches and pains. Our house is in the woods and it is our own little paradise. I can’t think of anything else that I need, other than a few million dollars, lol!

As a teacher, I feel it’s part of my responsibility to help my students think about the good things that they have going, and to be thankful for their blessings. To introduce them to this activity, I tell them the story about my grandmother, and or my mom. Then I will pass out task cards with Thanksgiving images on them and ask the kids to write down what they’re thankful for and we put them into a decorated Thanksgiving box. They can write as many things as they wish, The Wednesday before Thanksgiving recess. I pass the box around the room and each child, as well as myself, chooses a card and we read what is on it, then try to guess whose card it is and give it to its owner.

I usually end up moved to tears and so do some of the kids, as this activity is so meaningful to all of us..

Over the years, I learned that it is a huge transition for students from elementary to middle school with basic math skills. In elementary school many students are taught various strategies and methods to add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

Yet, when the students get to middle school they need to be strong in the algorithm method of math skills. For this reason, I believe it is great to utilize the various strategies and assist students to making the transition to solve multiplication problems which is why this product was created.

Engage your students with multiple multiplication activities that include visuals, hands on tasks, and more!

Enjoy a Multiplication Card Game – Great in Stations.

FREE MATH LESSON – Decimals

This entry was posted in 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade FREE LESSONS FREE LESSONS & PRICED LESSONS - The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs MATH LESSONS and tagged #7th Grade Math #Decimals #Graphic Organizer #Math Interactive Notebook 5th grade math 6th grade math on November 2, 2015 by Mary Moore (updated on November 3, 2015)

Use this excellent Decimal Lesson to teach or review operations with decimals!

My students loved the simplicity and color coding in this math lesson.

More details about how I have used color coding with students learning math skills is described in more detail in the ‘4 Ways to Engage Students in Learning’ Blog.

Perfect for Interactive Notebooks!

This lesson was created for students who struggled to remember the rules of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing decimals when they were first learning this concept. After students completed the graphic organizers, I allowed them to use the same color pen or colored pencil, to complete decimal problems. Addition of decimals was completed in red, subtraction in green, multiplication in purple, and division in orange. This assisted their learning and remembering the rules with decimals. I hope you enjoy this FREEBIE as much as I and the students I created it for did.

Halloween Spooks-Creative Writing for Middle School

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving has always been one of my favorite tales.. When I was a child, we would often visit my Uncle Marty who had a farm near Tarrytown New York. Whenever we were up there, I would think of the Headless Horseman because that’s where the story took place. I could always visualize the Horseman with head in hand, chasing poor puny Ichabod Crane.

Not Another Parent Night!

This entry was posted in 10th Grade 11th Grade 12th Grade 1st Grade 2nd Grade 3rd Grade 4th Grade 5th Grade 6th Grade 7th Grade 8th Grade 9th Grade CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT GRADE LEVELS Kindergarten PreKindergarten SPECIAL EDUCATION and tagged #backtoschool #sharingiscaring #teachers back to school kindergarten sharing is caring on September 19, 2015 by socrateslantern (updated on September 20, 2015)

Are you thinking, Oh No!!! Another parent night, what am I going to do? Do you stay up worrying the night before?, or feel butterflies in your stomach? Are you self conscious about getting up and speaking in front of parents? Well, if you answered yes to any of these questions, you’re not alone.

My teaching partner and I came up with a way to make parent night fun for everyone, including ourselves, since neither of us likes to get up in front of an audience, other than our classroom, lol!

It happened one afternoon, after the kids had gone home. We wanted to do something different for parent night. Suddenly, the phrase, “Actions speak louder than words,” came into my head, and I had an Ah ha! moment. Why not show parents what our program is like instead of telling them. That’s how our Parent Night Video Program began.

We prepared for the taping by making sure we got the go ahead from the principal as well as all the teachers who work with our students. Next we let our classes in on it, and they just loved the idea.

When the appointed day arrived, we were at the front door, camcorder in hand, to tape them as soon as they got off the bus. We were greeted with waves and hellos as they entered the building and proceeded to their homerooms.

Mostly, we recorded the kids, but we also wanted to show our teaching style so the parents could get to know us a little, We would go back and forth between rooms creating a short video of both. This can be tricky because the kids are alone for a few minutes just about every period. It’s amazing how much you learn about yourself and your charges when you watch yourself teach. We always made sure that we captured each child doing something, we never wanted anyone to feel left out, or for any parent to say, “I didn’t see my Sally.”

After period one which was either history or science, we’d escort them to Unified Arts, taping while walking. Some of them would be sewing, others would be doing woodwork, art, or metal shop. Again we would go back and forth between classes doing our filming. Parents loved to see them in action, we’d hear “oohs and ahs,” as they saw their little ones using power equipment, or sewing machines, and cleaning up after themselves. They were in amazed at the types of things the kids did, especially in metal/wood-shop, without losing fingers or limbs.

Unified Arts were over, we would then tape either English or Math classes continuing to make sure that everyone was included.

At the finish of a busy morning, we would switch classes and get ready to go to lunch. which is a real trip. We filmed them going through the lunch line and showed the cafeteria staff serving their food. Watching their child eat, and what they threw away was eye opening for many parents.

Back to class to continue taping either math, English, world history or science classes. As the day drew to a close, you could still see us taping the children while in homeroom study period. and as their buses were being announced over the loudspeaker. Our ending statement says it all, “The last bus has been called, the room is empty, and quiet and sometimes we like it like that.” We always get chuckles from the parents because they can relate.

Our final step, before parent night, was to send notes home letting them know that they will be viewing a presentation of, A Day in the Life of their Child. Then we did some edits.

During the day of parent night, the class gets to see the end production, We give them popcorn or some type or snack and enjoy the movie together. We can now laugh at ourselves and congratulate the students for a job well done.

Parent night finally arrived and our production was ready for viewing. We introduced it and told them that the video will probably answer every question that they might have and it usually does. Jokingly we called ourselves Marin & Filipek DeMille after the Hollywood director Cecil B. DeMille and the parents chuckled over that. The ice had been broken and we’re ready to begin.

Of course, there were times when the unexpected happened, like the video player doesn’t work, or we can’t find the TV that we signed up for. We’re all human, and these things occur. We took it in our stride and the parents were understanding. Eventually, we got everything up and running and all were happy.

The best part is to watch the reactions of the parents as they watch their kiddos in action. They marvel at how busy they are and how
much work is done throughout the day. They’ve never seen how their child behaves in school and they just love this. Better still, they realize what a difficult job we, as teachers have trying to tame these middle school children.
