This kit will allow you to transform your classroom into the perfect campsite for a reading & math skill review! Be sure to download the preview + read this full description to get all the details on this kit. Your "campers" will love these engaging activities, and you will love how simple this transformation can truly be! This product includes 5 Language Arts activities and 5 Math activities that review the following skills: main idea and key detail, sequence, cause and effect, close reading, parts of speech, multiplying single digit factors, multiplying single digit by two-digit factors, understanding properties of multiplication, understanding strategies for multiplication, place value (expanded and standard form), addition using two-digit addends (with and without regrouping) and solving multiplication and division word problems. The Language Arts activities included & their CCSS alignment are as follows: Close & Cozy Reading – Students will use close reading skills (such as annotating) to read an informational text about hibernation. (RF.3.4) Respond to Reading – Students will answer multiple-choice PARCC style questions about the text about the main idea of the passage, the main idea of a section, supporting details of the main idea, vocabulary, basic comprehension, and text structure. (RI.3.1, RI.3.2, RI.3.3, RI.3.4, RI.3.8) Sequencing S’mores – Students are tasked to write the steps to building the perfect s’more using sequence words. (RI.3.3, W.3.2) Wordy Wood Piles – This activity includes 2 options. One asks for students to sort cards based on if the words are common or proper nouns. The second variation asks for students to sort cards based on their part of speech. (L.3.1) Camping Cause + Effect – This task includes three different options. There is a matching task for students to connect the cause and effect of camping related events. There is also an interactive I-spy task or a worksheet version of the same task where students read a camping related cause and are asked to think of and write the effect of that event. (RI.3.3) The Math activities included & their CCSS alignment are as follows: Ants on a Log – Students will use their understanding of place value, standard, and expanded form to read the standard form logs and identify which ant cards would represent that value in expanded form. (2.NBT.A.3) Fishing for Factors – Students will select a factor to wear as their fishing cap and will use a “fishing pole” to fish for their second factor. Students will then multiply those factors together. This task offers options for differentiation including two-digit numbers as factors, where students could potentially practice using the distributive property. Students could also fish for multiple factors and practice using the associative property. (3.OA.A.1) Write a Campfire Song – Students will use their understanding of multiplication properties and strategies to write a math song. (3.OA.B.5, 3.OA.B.6) Word Problems in the Woods – This activity includes two options. The first option allows students to search for multiplication & division word problems around the room or “woods” and solve the problem on their recording sheet. The second option allows students to solve the same problems but has a QR code option for students to check their own work. (3.OA.A.3) Firefly Addition – Students will “catch” two fireflies and add their values together. This activity includes several options for recording sheets – a printable option for students to record each problem OR a reusable sheet that can be placed in a dry erase sleeve and used over + over again. (3.NBT.A.2) Each activity is outlined in detail so that you can see the standard alignment & assess your students easily using the answer keys provided. In addition, I have provided an editable tool that will allow you to create your own camping themed task cards to address skills and concepts that are specific to the needs of your students! To do this, I provide: 24 camping themed, editable task cards a recording sheet for 8 questions a recording sheet for 16 questions a recording sheet for 20 questions a recording sheet for 24 questions So what's the summary?

The only way to improve skills is to practice, practice, practice! Sewing worksheets provide excellent sewing practice for beginners. Though, these sheets are also helpful for sewists of any skill level who might be out of practice with a machine. Instead of wasting fabric, using paper is a brilliant way to perfect your methods and movements. Looking for hand sewing practice? Check out our Hand Sewing Practice Sheets PDFs. Sewing machines make fast work of projects but without patience and steady hands, you won't have the kind of stitching you're looking to produce. It's similar to "measure twice, cut once." Although you can always unpick stitches, that's unpleasant, time-consuming, and sometimes ruins your fabric. It's best to get it right the first time. That's where these printable sewing practice worksheets come in handy! No ruining or wasting fabric. These free six sheets have all sorts of lines and designs to help you perfect your machine skills. There are beginner-friendly lines, curves, and angles along with more advanced lines and curves for those who want a challenge. Note: Some of the curved lines will be easier to sew with a foot attachment. A walking foot or something similar will help you achieve those quickly curving lines.
