Reward Cards for Positive Behavior Classroom Management! Celebrate and reward great behavior with these handy reward cards! Students choose from nine special privileges such as bringing a stuffed animal to school or wearing a hat. An inexpensive alternative to the treasure box!
Who is This For?
Teachers looking for an inexpensive and fun way to reward good choices and focus on positive behaviors!
What is Included?
A printable page of nine reward cards. The cards work with any positive behavior models such as PBIS and can easily be used with any classroom management system.
I copy these onto colorful paper, chop them up and keep them in a handy spot in the classroom. When I see a student working hard, showing kindness, or making other good choices, I let them choose a card! My rule is that students must present the card before the bell rings in the morning on the day they want to redeem it.
Why Buy?
The classroom rewards cards help motivate students and provide an easy (and free) way to acknowledge good choices.
Thanks so much! I hope you found just what you needed!🙂

This fun game of BINGO gives students practice differentiating between vowel digraphs and vowel diphthong syllables. A vowel digraph is a syllable that has two vowels glued together whose sound will say one of the vowel sounds. A vowel diphthong is two vowels glued together or one vowel glued to the left of the letter -w whose sound will be unique to the combination of the two letters. After playing a few times, the students will catch on to these two different syllable types and will begin to quickly identify them and their sounds. There are two different bingo cards for the students, and there are 96 word cards–48 vowel digraph words and 48 vowel diphthong words.

Enjoy a great activity I’ve completed with First Graders & Middle Schoolers! Every year around spring break I’ve enjoyed executing this wonderful fun egg math activity with my students. There’s minimal prep time and materials for this activity – you will only need plastic eggs, paper for math problems or task cards already printed with answer key, a shoe box, and of course, candy or treats for students. The students only need paper and a pencil. Every year all students became very, very involved with this lesson! Read more on how I executed this Eggstravagant Math Activity with my students!
1.) Begin preparations.
I put together a sheet of math problems or task cards that are numbered. I typically always utilized task cards for students to review what has been taught all year that I want students to review. You may also utilize math problems related to the current curriculum you’ve been teaching. Cut task cards or printed math problems apart into one problem per small sheet of paper. Have an answer key printed with the numbered problems – you’ll need this the day of the activity. This activity may also be completed with any subject being taught!
2.) Put together materials.
Place the individual math problems or task cards into a plastic Egg. They may be folded if you need to. Make sure you have enough eggs for students. I typically have double the eggs than the amount of students I teach. You will, at minimum, need the total number of eggs to be the total number of students you have in your class. I always based the number of problems and eggs I had on the ‘fastest working’ students I had and the number of students I was teaching. It’s better to have too many math problems and eggs than not enough. I wanted them to work through the whole class time. Fill all of your plastic eggs with…… Read More at www.MMooreEducationalResources.com

These are questions (and answers) that I’ve designed to help students get the most out of a close reading of Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
These were designed with an AP Literature class in mind, but certainly other level courses could benefit from challenging materials. I have been teaching AP Lit for 9 years, have a Masters in Creative Writing, and have had a very successful open enrollment literature program that has been exceeding the national passing rate average (with 50 or more students passing per term). The page numbers correspond to the McDougal Littel Hamlet hardcover, but they are organized by Act and Scene so any copy of Hamlet can still be used to answer the questions.

Scooping a word is the same as dividing the word into syllables.
Syllables can be divided by saying them orally or by using a pencil and paper. If we orally divide a word into syllables, we usually clap the word out. For example, if we orally divided the syllables of polish, we would clap out ‘pol’ and ‘ish,’ and that would be two claps. If we divided the syllables on paper, we would place a slash between the ‘l’ and ‘i’ in the word ‘pol/ish.’
So rather that placing a slash, there is another way to show the number of syllables in a word, and that is to scoop the syllables. This is how that would look: p o l i s h. This way not dividing the word with a slash avoids the look of a misplaced letter in the word, and it also avoids the idea of students thinking the word has only one syllable since there is just one slash. With the idea of scooping with the finger or with a pencil, students can feel and see the scoops which in turn matches the number of syllables.
This packet contains 64 task cards that allow students to practice scooping words with two closed syllables.
Simply print and cut along the guidelines. One idea is to print on card stock or on colored paper. Laminate and use them again and again and keep them in a baggie. Another option is to hole-punch a corner of each card and put them all on a ring.

– with adjectives
-with apositives
It also contains tips on things to avoid, such as writing a paragraph shorter than 4 sentences. And, it contains a list of things to do, such as make sure that your paragraphs contain at least 2 pieces of evidence.

HEY GUYS! LOOK! It’s a free sample for my awesome Blank Board Games.
So what is a Blank Board Game?
Here’s my theory on things.
You don’t need a completely new product every time you teach a new unit. What you need is something flexible, something you can tailor to your specific and current learning outcomes.
Designed for use as file-folder games, each set contains:
1. Well, obviously they come with a game board – two letter-sized images you print, trim, and attach to the inside of a file folder. Most games will come with a variation of game board colors, which will be indicated on the preview.
2. Multiple variations of printable cards for game play: some are completely blank, some have characters or images relating to the board, and some have game directions like “lose a turn.” There are also variations of border colors for cards, so you can easily differentiate sets if you create multiple games or levels for a game.
3. A printable front cover for your file folder if you want to label them like this – this is also great for leaving the top open and keeping an envelope of cards inside.
The Spring Blank Board Game set comes with:
a cover image
a game board
3 pages of blank playing cards (one is editable on the computer, while in the for-purchase sets, all the playing cards can be edited.)

Fifty percent of our English language is closed syllable type words. Once a student learns this syllable type, they have a great foundation upon which to build. So it is a well worth our efforts to invest our time teaching this syllable type if we are going to have successful readers.I created this packet for my students to have fun learning closed syllable type words. There are 6 syllable types, and closed syllable is the most basic type to teach. There are multiple word lists in the unit, ‘Reading Closed Syllables.’ This reading unit provides 158 word lists of the closed syllable type words. Also, a master list of all the words is included as a quick reference. The lists in this unit include words spelled using each vowel in conjunction with common phonograms. These lists of words will help students recognize the common patterns seen in closed syllables. Also, reading will become more manageable for students once they understand the different syllable types.
The unit, ’15 Games & Activities Teaching Closed Syllables’ include 15 fun games and activities that can be placed in literacy centers for the students to enjoy. The following games are included in this packet:
1. Bubble Bath
2. Bubble Yum Relay
3. Scrambled Eggs
4. Bag the Odd Chip
5. Morph the Word
6. Flower Power
7. My Closed Syllable Word Book

Based on Dr. Jean’s song, “The Tools of Good Readers,” This poster helps students to remember basic reading strategies:
1. Look at the pictures.
2. Sound out the letters.
3. Go back and read it again.
4. Do you see a smaller chunk that you can read?
The song is a rap that students will love, and can be found on Dr. Jean’s “Totally Reading” CD or for download at her site, http://www.drjean.org .

There are 6 syllable types in reading. The basic overall purpose of learning syllable type reading is to give students 6 reading strategies to aid them in chunking longer words into short, readable parts. Learning to read by identifying the type of syllable is the most consistent method to teach reading to your students, and the easiest way for your students to learn to read. All of the words lists incorporate patterns using all the vowels. The closed syllable and V-C-e syllable target words using common phonograms.
This packet of activities and games give students a fun way to learn the syllable types. The activities/games can be placed in language stations, or they can be played during small groups. So enjoy as your students learn another way to break the code to reading!

Understanding mood and tone is integral to gaining deeper meaning from text. The CCSS requires a realignment of a reading program as well as additional skills and strategies to better comprehend text. Understanding text at a deeper level requires readers to comprehend the connotation of words that an author uses to create mood and tone. This mini-lesson and activity defines the two and provides a large group of words for small groups or partners to sort into Neutral, Positive, or Negative groups. This activity can be done on chart paper or easily adapted to Interwrite boards. Please leave your feedback and let me know how it helped you in your classroom.

Simplify your life and make grammar fun and effective.
One of the biggest challenges I had in my English classes was how to fit in grammar 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.
The package includes:
1) A Student Packet – which contains the Literature Circle directions, the notes, directions, and activities, and a “Mark Calculation” page to keep track of their marks. (16 pages)
Activities included focus on:
-the logistics of the sentence (the basic parts)
-the prepositional phrase
-the adjective phrase
-the adverb phrase
-the verbal phrase
-the appositive phrase
-the independent and subordinate clauses
-subjects and predicates
-fragments
-run-on sentences
-types of sentences
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 own work and learn from one another.
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 about sentences.
(27 pages total for this unit)

This unit is a package of 10 activities and games that are designed to make it easy for students to learn to read r-controlled syllable type words. There are 6 syllable types, and r-controlled is one of the six types. These syllables are called –r-controlled because the –r is in control and the vowel is out of control when sounding out the word. Instead, of the vowels making their normal sounds, the –r decides for them what sound the vowel is going to make. Reading and spelling r-controlled words require visual memory and experience. These games will teach students a few consistent tips to remember when reading these kinds of words. There are five -r-controlled vowels–ar, -er, -ir, -or, -ur. These five vowel spellings make 4 different sounds. The packet includes 75 -r-controlled words cards and the following 10 games:
1. Climb a Tree
2. Grow a Centipede
3. Football Frenzy
4. Dominoes
5. Uno
6. Clear the Board
7. Snail Shell

This unit has been conceived with the teacher in mind. It contains a Student Guide, a Teacher Guide, and a comprehensive Answer Key. All you have to do is print the packages and teach them.

-Thematic comprehension questions for each act
-Activity on motifs and symbols used in the play
-Activity on characterization
-Poem association (Langston Hughes)
-Notes on tragedy (Aristotle’s definition and modern definition)

Enjoy this free resource for drawing inferences!
Since we can’t see or hear students’ thoughts as they are reading, it is difficult to assess their understanding of specific reading strategies. The activities in this resource offer a structured approach in teaching students how to make inferences while they are reading. They also offer teachers a glimpse into the thought process of students as they are reading and can serve as assessment tools.
There are printable bookmarks for students to write their understanding of making inferences while they are reading. There are also full page worksheets that can be used. These resources work great during independent reading time or center work. They can also be used in guided reading strategy groups.
The Common Core State Standards for grade 3 and beyond that Apply:
• RI.3.6. Distinguish their own point of view from that of the author of a text.
• RL.3.6. Distinguish their own point of view from that of the narrator or those of the characters.
