Animal Skeleton Bones - PowerPoint + 31 Fun Teaching Activities For These Cards

(0)
Are you teaching your class about animal skeleton bones? I have collected together a wide range of different photos of skeletons. It is a nice way to show them the differences and similarities between different animals. For example, you can show them the spine and discuss what different animals have done with their arms and legs. This pack contains a 31 Teaching Activity Teacher Guide using these photo flash cards. These activities are quick and fun to do and will improve both your students' memory and vocabulary skills. You could look at it directly as a presentation and discuss the different bones being shown in each of the photos. You could print off and laminate the photos to make an interesting, eye-catching display about Animal Skeleton Bones. The students could also take the laminated photos and sort them into different types of Animal Skeleton Bones. The students can then compare and contrast the bones to those found in their own bodies. The photos could also be used as prompts for creative writing, factual writing or descriptive writing.
Book 30: The Shell (I Can See Sam Series), Guided Reading Questions and Reading Certificate

Book 30: The Shell (I Can See Sam Series), Guided Reading Questions and Reading Certificate

(0)
I See Sam Books are a series of early reader books developed to teach children in kindergarten to read. The original series, written in 1972, as part of Southwest Regional Educational Laboratory's (SWRL) Beginning Reading Program (BRP), contained 52 books. I have extended the number of resources. Please visit my I See Sam TES Resources website at http://www.ISeeSam.Online for more. Book 30: The Shell New Words Sand, sell, shell - decodable Plot Summary Ann the Giraffe is at the beach. She hopes to catch and sell some fish. An octopus sees her fishing hook and plays a trick on her. He attaches the hook to a big shell and hides inside the shell. When Ann pulls out the shell, she is delighted. The octopus fears Ann will sell the shell with him in it. But Ann is frightened by the octopus, who takes Ann’s sheet and settles in the sea shell. Each new word throughout the program is repeated at least five times in the book in which it first appears and five more times in the next ten books. The first book in the series starts with just 3 words: I, see, Sam. Every book or two adds a few words, until by book 52, the readers have read 95 different words. The SWRL Kindergarten Beginning Reading Program was first implemented in U.S. public schools in the early 1970's. Due to its tremendous success at achieving its goal of teaching young children to read, over the years the program has been copied, edited and/or revised by a number of individuals, institutions, and companies.

Year 6 2016 SPAG Interactive Whiteboard Sample Test Paper 1 And Answers

(0)
I have created a PowerPoint presentation combining Paper 1 and the mark scheme so you can ask a question, and immediately see the answer and the explanation. This is great for a wide range of different circumstances. If the students have completed the test this lets the teacher review the paper question by question. It also a great what of revising grammar at the whole class level. Each student shows the answer on whiteboard and then immediately check their answers. A variety of questions has been included in this sample test to demonstrate the formats and curriculum content that pupils may encounter in a live test. A commentary is provided in the mark scheme that accompanies each question. This sample test mark scheme is provided to give teachers an indication of how the tests will be marked. The mark schemes for the sample tests have been subject to a shorter process than the full, rigorous development process that is used for live mark schemes. The sample test and mark schemes have been reviewed by teachers and other expert reviewers.

70 worksheets for English lessons with answers Intermediate Level The second ESL resource book

(1)
Welcome to the second English ESL book. Like the first one, it’s packed full of worksheets that can be photocopied freely for use in the classroom, as well as being an ideal tool for students to work through at home. We’ve included resources that test grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, spelling and speaking & listening skills. A huge variety of material that we hope will be fun to use and really helpful, whether you are at school or at home. A big thank you must go to all the students who have tried and tested these resources in the classroom prior to us producing the book! While the first book (https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/60-entry-level-grammar-worksheets-for-english-lessons-and-esl-with-answers-11156436) was aimed primarily at Entry Level students, this one is aimed at higher level students, either Intermediate Level or Level 1 (ESOL Core Curriculum), depending on how you choose to label them. There are also a few worksheets for practising more basic skills, such as the two Writing Skills worksheets. However, most of the material reflects the higher level, and will provide a wealth of stimulating lessons for students who are starting to become more independent in their learning. With this in mind we have included a brand new section - Test Your Research Skills. Here you will find quizzes on a range of topics that require students to go and do some research, using a library facility, encyclopaedia (whether in CD Rom or old fashioned book form!), or even the internet...

18 Different Maths and Grammar SATS Tests (Hundreds of differentiated practice questions!)

(1)
I want to make KS2 SATs revision fun. I want it to be something students and teachers really enjoy. I have taken each of the SATs revision tests and combined the original test papers and the original marking schemes into PowerPoints where you ask a question and immediately see the the answer on the next slide. This teaching packs covers KS2 Maths and KS2 SATs SPAG tests (Spag is English grammar, punctuation and spelling Papers) The idea is that you can now ask a question and all your students show you the answer on their mini-whiteboards and then you discuss the answers together and see what would have got one or two points. As the students can work in pairs or small groups on the questions, they are less stressed and enjoy the whole revision process. In addition, it gives them a chance to learn about other student’s strategies. This pack could be used in the classroom for whole class teaching, for small groups or at home as a great teaching resource. If you like this teaching resource, check out my teaching resources at https://www.firstmaths.com/. If you like these resources, be sure to leave a nice comment. Nice comments make my day, and motivate me to write more teaching resources.
