All You Need is Love and Kindness

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

My husband got up one gloomy morning and went to the gas station to fill his car, when he went to pay, the gas pump said, “prepaid.” A kind person, from the goodness of his/her heart, paid for his gas. Needless to say, it brought a big smile to his face.

Palindromes in Words and Numbers

By Vicky Rauch of Scipi

I was getting ready to pay for my meal at a buffet when I noticed the cashier’s name tag. It read “Anna” to which I replied, “Your name is a palindrome!” The cashier just stared at me in disbelief. I explained that a palindrome was letters that read the same backwards as forwards. Because you could read her name forwards and backwards, it qualified as a palindrome. In fact, February 22, 2022 will be a palindrome if written as 2-22-22!

LESSONS and tagged EFL - ESL - ELD English Language Arts fun stuff Graphic Organizers interactive notebooks No Prep Spelling on February 14, 2022 by teachingmadeeasy123 (updated on February 14, 2022)

Description

The Spelling Flip Book is designed to help young learners become familiar with spelling rules and to incorporate them into their work.

Students can color and personalize their flip books to enhance the spelling learning experience.

I always like encouraging my students to use their flip books as reference sheets when they are working to promote good spelling habits. The goal is that eventually, by using the flipbook when working, the student will begin to remember common errors made in the past and correct them. I have had much success with this strategy in my classes.

I’ve also included a color copy and an answer key – a total of 18 pages.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON – “Self-Grading Editable Digital Notebook: Isotopes”

by Lab In Every Lesson
6th – 12th Grade

ONGOING use of this product requires a paid membership ($9/month or $49/year) to BookWidgets, the technology upon which the content is built. It enables teachers to modify the content of the digital interactive notebook, integrate the assignment into Google Classroom, view responses students submit electronically, automatically grade and analyze data from the free exit ticket which may be provided at the end of the coordinating interactive science lesson.

A 30-day free trial from BookWidgets is available, though, and it’s the reason I make this particular product free in my store. Take advantage of this opportunity to explore the back end that only you will be able to view and edit!

A digital interactive notebook containing the same content but without the ability for teacher manipulation is also available for sale in the store. With the basic version, students will be able to complete the assignment and download it to their computer or print it. Electronic submission will not be possible.

___________________________________________________________

From using this digital interactive notebook, students will learn about isotopes so they can:

talk like a scientist!
recognize the difference between mass number, exact atomic mass, and average atomic mass.
explain radioactivity.

Both you and your students will know they are successful when they can:

define terms on the Word Wall.
determine the composition of the nucleus for various isotopes.
name isotopes using their mass number.
explain how mass number is different from exact atomic mass.

The digital interactive notebook is built for independent student use. With the link, students can download their electronic work and save it to a folder on their computer or print it to compile hard copy evidence of their investigations. It includes all components of my interactive science lessons including activation and integrations of prior knowledge, guidance through active learning experiences and assessment of mastery through skill practice.

The following components are included in this digital interactive notebook to support student centered learning:

a “Review & Preview” activity to activate and assess prior knowledge.
a “Word Wall” which showcases vocabulary that is central to the lesson content.
analytical reading or writing components to promote scientific literacy.
at least one independent or small group learning experience which allows (1) students to create artifacts as evidence of their learning and (2) teachers to review main ideas with the whole group.
data-dependent analysis of the learning experience outcomes.
detailed answer keys for the outlined activities.
formative assessment of mastery.

This digital interactive notebook offers incredible flexibility with regard to delivery of the lesson:

use as a companion to the corresponding interactive science lesson.
use as the foundation for an interactive science notebook.
use part of the web form as an introduction to the lesson.
assign part or all of the web form as homework.
use as a distance learning resource
use on a day during which a substitute leads class.

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Group-and-Skit-Evaluation-Rubric-699937

Description

Group work is always tricky to evaluate because there is so much going on. In addition, as educators, we are required to give detailed feedback on students’ performances.

I created this FREE document to make the teacher’s job easier, and to allow students to be responsible for their success as well.

Self-evaluation grids are a great way to guide students in their evaluations. Students will know exactly what is expected of them and will be made responsible for their success. This package can also easily be changed to be used as peer evaluations.

This self-evaluation grid will help students as well as teachers to assess students’ group work. When students use this grid to assess their work, there are no surprises when they receive their final mark. This grid, in particular, allows the students to become organized and responsible for their individual parts.

These self-evaluation grids are also very helpful to teachers:

❒ Helps the teacher justify the final mark;

❒ Helps to identify students’ weaknesses and strengths;

❒ Helps parents and students better understand the task required;

❒ Helps teachers create rubrics for the final evaluation.

Because of formatting issues, this package was created in a PDF document, but I can easily email you a Word file to be easily modified and changed according to the individual teacher’s needs.

These creative writing quickie activities have stimulated some of the most fun times I have ever had with my high school students! Each takes about 20- 25 minutes to write; the sharing time afterwards will vary according to class size. Each of the activities will provoke both the imagination AND critical thinking. The “show, not tell” activity reinforces that all important characteristic of successful narrative that eludes so many writers.

The first activity is in the form of a printable for students, whereas the other two need to be related to them orally to maintain their intriguing secrets.

Superhero themed Parts of speech Grammar Circle Unit

One of the biggest challenges I had in my English classes was how to fit grammar in with everything else I had to teach. I would give students grammar pages, and then we would correct them together. It was tedious, and it took forever! What’s more is that students were not learning the way I wanted them to. They wouldn’t apply what they had learned from the grammar pages and activities.

I found a solution!

Grammar Circles. Grammar Circles are very similar to literature circles in the sense that students are teaching one another grammar. It is a fun and functional way to teach and Learn grammar. Although this may be done individually, it can also be completed as a group where students, through a specific process outlined in the package, teach one another grammar. They also correct the work together, so the teacher has very little to do other than to facilitate and supervise.

Once these circles have been implemented and students know who their group members are and what they are supposed to do, it is a great prep to leave a supply teacher.

The package includes:

1) A Student Packet – which contains the Literature Circle directions, the notes, and activities, and a “Mark Calculation” page to keep track of their marks. (27 pages)

Activities included focus on:

❒nouns

❒adjectives

❒verbs

❒adverbs

❒prepositions

❒conjunctions

❒putting it all together

❒correct use of pronouns

❒who and whom

❒that and which

❒who’s and whose

❒that and who

❒pronoun case

❒pronoun agreement

❒active and passive voice

❒verb tenses (present, past, future)

❒verb uses (consistency in verb tenses)

2) A teacher Guide with easy to follow instructions on how to organize the Grammar Circles.

3) The Answer Key – devised to allow students to correct their work and learn from one another.

Also included are free Superhero Themed Parts of Speech Posters to decorate your class.

For those who are from Ontario, Canada – this unit adheres to the Grade 9 English Curriculum (academic). The unit can be taught in any grade to learn parts of speech.

This PDF worksheet is designed to encourage deep thinking and explanation of math problems and concepts at all grade levels. You choose the problem to assign to your students and the standard to address. The students use the thinking bubble, to make a plan or draw a picture. They use the other rectangles to write the equation and solve it, show how they checked their work, and last of all to explain their work and their thinking. This helps students dive deep into the mathematical concept or working through problems with perseverance. It’s great to use for homework or group work. You can project it on the whiteboard to show the process of problem solving. You can also use it for assessments and performance tasks.

I Dreaded My Third Period Class

By Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern

It was cold and blustery outside, one of those days you just wanted to stay under the covers, but truth be told, I immediately thought about how I dreaded my third period class, I so wanted to turn over and forget about it for a while. I knew I had to face it, so I begrudgingly got out of bed. Alas, it was only hump day, and I had a busy schedule, so I dragged myself out of bed, had my cup of coffee and a piece of toast.

Under The Blotter: Engagement Questions

I have kept these particular reading engagement questions under my desk blotter for many, many years—so many that I don’t even know who did the research for them, but I do know these questions are effective in improving reading motivation, in the person who responds, AND in those who listen to the answers.

The Beauty of Math Patterns

By Vicki Rauch of Scipi

Some people say mathematics is the science of patterns which I think is a pretty accurate description. Not only do patterns take on many forms, but they occur in every part of mathematics. But then again patterns occur in other disciplines as well. They can be sequential, spatial, temporal, and even linguistic. Discover more about pattern in this blog post.

7th – 10th Grade

This is a handout that has students solve one-step equations to solve a riddle. The sheet has a riddle at the top of the page with instructions. There are blank spots at the bottom of the page that students will fill in to answer the riddle. First, the student solves the equation. Then, they find the letter that correlates with the value of x that they just found. After they have discovered which value correlates to which letter, they fill in the blanks to see the answer to the riddle. This would be a great activity to leave for a sub around Valentine’s Day. It could also be used as a quick refresher at the beginning of class or an exit slip at the end of the day.

There are 10 questions. The answer key is included.

This collection of 16 coloring pages can be used in a variety of ways:

• Give to early finishers during testing/quiet tasks to allow time for other students to finish their work.

• Keep students’ hands busy while listening to audiobooks or podcast-based lessons.

• Create a stress reduction bulletin board where students can help themselves to their choice of coloring sheets.

• Help teens learn to calm themselves during stressful moments by focusing on a mindfulness task.

• Use in counseling offices as part of art therapy or SEL training.

• Build a take-and-make library display with books on meditation, stress reduction, and/or how to build a mandala.

• As a random act of kindness, leave a bunch of coloring pages and some colored pencils or markers in the faculty break room. Teachers need a brain break, too!
