Does this sound familiar...you come back from lunch and recess and your plan is to begin your lesson but your students are too chatty and excited to settle and you waste the next ten minutes trying to get them back on track? Or maybe you clean up before special a few minutes too early and you have about five extra minutes before your class needs to leave? Or my favorite, the buses are running late and your administrator announces dismissal will be about ten minutes behind schedule. Soooo....what do you do? Don't waste those few minutes! You can absolutely save your sanity, sneak in a bit more review and enrichment, and engage the class without needing a bunch of supplies. Pull up a task card on the board or read it to your class and have your students practice reading sentences with different types of expression. One of my favorite ways to introduce expressive reading to my students is to read ​The Monster at the End of This Book. ​On some pages I would whisper. Some pages I would shout. Some pages I would use my best Grover imitation. My students loved to echo the sentences in whatever voice I chose. Help your students increase their fluency by practicing oral reading and expressive reading by practicing reading the same sentence using different types of expression based on punctuation. The sentences are simple. These are not paragraphs, just quick sentences to practice reading the same words differently based on punctuation. These task cards are geared towards second graders but could be used for high first graders. Make it F.U.N. Try echo reading in the silliest, scariest voices you can! @2017 All rights reserved by author. These materials are intended for personal use by a single classroom only.

My Magic Tree House Text Dependent Question resources are the perfect way to get your kiddos back into the text finding the answers to those higher level questions. They are a great way to start prepping those second graders for the following testing year. We use the Magic Tree House series in our enrichment groups and were looking for ways to go beyond the "in your face" straight forward comprehension questions and to get our students to go deeper. One of the problems we faced with close reads was all the text marking. Here we are able to take a variety of questions and have our students dig through the text but instead of marking up our novels, they are showing their understanding of finding themes, defending their claims, comparing, and analyzing their reading. Each one of our Magic Tree House text dependent resources has 10 questions which vary in type and complexity. There is a journal cover page if you want to print all the questions off and create a mini-workbook. Or if you would prefer picking and choosing which questions you have that option. Our text dependent questions are ink friendly. All black and white. They are really simplistic and clean. We steered away from too many distracting graphics and focused on the content instead. PLEASE NOTE***This is geared towards a second-third grade classroom but could meet the needs of higher first graders. These are NOT chapter by chapter comprehension questions. @2017 All rights reserved by author. These materials are intended for personal use by a single classroom only.

This is probably hands-down one of my FAVORITE lessons. At first it began by simply being a "how to" writing project for my kiddos. It then went into a hands-on science experiment where my kids were able to "experience" what it is like to prepare a body for burial like the ancient Egyptians. This activity has been tested and tweaked several times. I have had so much success with it, I have used it for my formal observation. I have had our district PR rep come and take pictures to use on our district website. This activity is student run with very little assistance needed by you the teacher. Included are several graphic organizers, writing pages, and rubric. I have included pocket chart strips for each step. I have included a step by step set up for the night and day before the experiment. I have included a link to my blog where I show how I ran the experiment with pictures for each step. Seriously, this is SO easy and SO much fun! The only thing that is "seasonal" for this activity is a pumpkin. I am sure you could be creative and use something else but this is what worked for me!!

Do you love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Do you want something SO fun that your kids will be talking about it all year? Need a parent involvement activity? Then I think you will enjoy Chocolate Tank. No, your kids are not dunking you in a tank of chocolate. Although that does sound fun!! Chocolate Tank is an idea that is based on the TV show Shark Tank. Your kids are going to create their own one-of-a-kind, brand new, never before seen candy. The crazier the better! Their job is to convince Willy Wonka and a few Oompa Loompas that this new candy is so awesome that it HAS to be Wonka's latest creation. Your kids will work on persuasive essays, public speaking, handwriting, and tap into their creativity all at the same time! This can be done in your classroom just with your kiddos or can be used as a parent involvement activity where you invite parents to be your participating "audience" to cheer and encourage your little inventors on. I do encourage you to read the novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prior to doing this activity BUT it can be done without reading the book. This product DOES NOT include any questions or activities that are specific to the text. This idea stemmed from my 2nd grade classroom reading the novel and we were asked to do a Parent Involvement activity by my principal. Please be sure to check out my blog post about this to see how I used this activity and inspire you as you plan your own Chocolate Tank! I have everything included in this: * Lesson Plan * Photos with my notes from my Chocolate Tank * Link to my blog to see my kids in action * Parent Invitation letter (bw/color) * Writing graphic organizers (6) * Writing Conference graphic organizer * Parent Sign in Sheet * Inventor Rubric (this is for your panel, should you choose to score your kids on their projects and presentations) * Seating Sings (audience and inventors signs to designate where everyone should sit in color/bw) * Cotton Candy Panel Banner * Bubble Gum Welcome to Chocolate Tank Banner This was so much fun and I think your kiddos will love it as well!

If you are looking for a way to incorporate a little hands on science into your classroom, you might want to consider hatching chicks in your room! I am fortunate to have a farmer husband who does help me with a lot of the supplies and knowledge but that doesn't mean that YOUR classroom cannot have the same experience. I would advise clearing the idea with your principal first before going and purchasing any materials. Most materials we bought through a local feed store but many can be bought online. You may even be able to get a grant to help cover some of the cost! This unit does NOT give instructions on the actual hatching process. This resource is for teaching students the anatomy and vocabulary behind the process and what is happening each day. Included in this resource: * 3 different journal pages (you can differentiate to your students ability or your grade level!) * 2 color anchor charts (embryo and hen) they are labeled for you! * 2 assessments for each diagram (with and without a word bank) * 2 chick life cycle diagram (in color and labeled, in b/w without labels so you can use as an assessment for your students) * 2 countdown calendars (color and b/w) * 2 daily growth cards (color and b/w) that detail what is happening inside the egg each day--I use this information to create a large chart for the class to help keep track. * 18 color pocket chart vocabulary cards * 18 color vocabulary word cards (definitions included!) * 1 unit assessment (answer key included!) * 1 word search (answer key included!) * 1 decodable book with color photos (all about chicken facts!) PLEASE NOTE, this resource does not include any supplies to complete the experiment like eggs, incubator, feed, etc. Buyer is responsible for purchasing these materials. This unit COULD be used and not complete the 21 day experiment. If you are conducting the experiment, remember to watch your temperature and humidity closely! I wish you the best of luck with this experiment. It is something my class talks about all year and is one of their FAVORITE activities in 2nd grade! Some of the vocabulary may be a little advanced for K-1 but CAN be adapted to your classroom. Please look at the preview before purchasing for your classroom. @2016 All rights reserved by author.
