Biography bags are a favorite activity of mine! The kids love them too! You can put as much effort and time into these as you have available! They are so worth it! They're very fun to show off to parents at a museum day or invite another class over to see them! This PBL project is interdisciplinary. Components Writing: After researching their historical figure, students write a grade appropriate biography about their historical figure. Math: Students create a timeline of his/her important life events. We used an app called Timeline. Students created a booklet ahead of time with dates & illustrations to add to their app creations. Social Studies: Students identify character traits that made his/her historical figure a good leader. We focused on Jackie Robinson's patience and Martin Luther King Jr's determination. But we branched out to other figures not in our second grade standards. Other: Students learn research and note-taking skills, students artistically transform a paper bag into their historical figure, students learn cooperation as they complete this with partners or small groups, & students can complete self assessments at the end. Artifacts: Students might include 2-3 representative artifacts inside the bag. These can be items brought from home or made in class. For example, a trophy to represent Jackie Robinson's induction into the Hall of Fame or a kite to represent Ben Franklin's discovery.

I got this idea from my peer teacher, Nina. It's a great way for students to share about themselves. I think it would be perfect for a first day of school activity. I would start by having the students first write the numbers. Later, once we have learned about multiplication and division, I would have them create the equations. Finally, they can put it all together in time for Open House. It can be easily adapted for the younger grades by using addition and/or subtraction. It can be adapted for older grades with exponents, multi-step problems, and including fractions or decimals. Thanks to my friend Nannette for inspiring me with her sample.

Learning new things doesn't always come natural to everyone, especially when it isn't something that you like. For me, that thing was multiplication. I didn't see the need to learn it and I had a really difficult time memorizing it. Eventually, it kicked in, but I really wished I had a different way to learn. I was delighted to learn that there is a different way to learn from my son's third grade teacher. This is the year that they are really going to focus on multiplication. I'm so grateful that this teacher makes learning fun. Everything in her classroom is designed to help the student think for themselves and learn. So when we went to curriculum night, she gave us a few pointers and my favorite was this one. No longer do you have to figure out how to use a numbers graph to get your answer. Now you can print out numbers with all of the answers on them and I made it easy for you by creating a printable. In this picture, you see the number three. In order to find out what 3x3 is, you start at the number three and count to three to get the number 9. This works for every number that's in the printable. The video below shows you how to use each number to find your answer. Pardon all of the noise. I sent my children upstairs, thinking it would be quieter, but it was actually louder. In the printout that you can download for free, all of the numbers are plain. I used construction paper when printing to make the numbers more colorful and laminated them for shine and durability. I hope that you will can use this tool with ease and enjoy it! What ways have you taught your kids multiplication? Click here for the free printout.

Hi all! The big day is Tuesday! That's my first day back with my little sweeties. I'm getting excited and nervous. Yeah, can you believe after all these years of teaching I still get excited and nervous! I'm starting again this year with 30 firsties and I'm sure it will increase. I guess I should be used to it but I don't think I ever will. I thought I'd share with everyone some little tools I print to have on hand when I'm working in guided reading with my kiddos. I print several copies and have a stack of each of these by my reading table so I can quickly grab some for my lessons. Let me start by telling you that I tell my firsties they are 'smart readers under construction'. We talk about what that means and I tell them I am going to help them in every way become a smart reader. I love the word 'smart' more than 'better'. It seems more positive to me. When I think of 'better', I think well maybe I'm not very good to start with and I want my kiddos the think of themselves as good reader and I'm just going to help them be smarter reader. The first is sorting pages. I have 2, 3, 4, and 5 way sort pages. I use these a ton of ways. I might have them list short vowel words, long & short vowels, word families, inflectional endings, root word and ending, suffixes, prefixes, characters and describing words, who & what, hard & soft c or g words, the list can go on and on. Sometimes I give the words, sometimes they find the words in their reading. You can use it with the low, middle and high kids. It's open to whatever you can think of to use it with. It's a fun, quick easy practice or assessment for your kiddos. I don't make them into a booklet because I want the kids to take them home so parents can see what we are doing. The next one is the character sheet. I use this one a lot especially after I've taught describing words. I can generally use this one at the beginning of the year with my high students too. Another one I use is Did You Know. This one is great for non-fiction books. These sheets don't have to be used only in guided reading. Sometimes I'll use them with the whole class like when I read Boxcar Children. We fill out a 4-way sort on the four characters and what we know about them. There are so many possibilities, just use your creativity. If you'd like a FREE download just click HERE. Oh and some super GOOD NEWS- I have a new grandson!! This is Elijah Ray Robison.

Welcome to the era of 21st-century learning, where traditional education meets the demands of a rapidly evolving world. In this digital age, it's not just about memorizing facts and figures anymore; it's about cultivating skills that empower students to navigate a complex and interconnected global
Being on Spring Break sure does have its upsides doesn't it?! One being the fact I am able to sit down and finally blog...AKA relax on my own terms. I have a Lifetime movie playing in the background called The Grim Sleeper. Did you get to watch it? What can I say? I'm obsessed with watching their newest 2 hour TV movies. Reading my book here and there when I want, going to the bathroom whenever I want, and snacking on whatever I want is definitely the bee's knees. It makes me look forward to summer break that much more! As we all know (it's what nightmares are made of)...it's that time of the season. Testing is just around the corner and the pressure is on! With trying to fit everything on our district benchmark testing and the state test in to such a tiny time frame, it is that much more important I push that rigor and multiple opportunities for practice with my students. So, bring on differentiation! By first having my students complete a multi-level exit ticket (which ended up becoming more like a post test) I was able to figure out which levels of area and perimeter each student met in or what they needed more practice in. As a gifted-cluster teacher, I try to do as many tiered differentiation lessons as possible. In this case, it means I have 9 gifted learners while the rest of my students are mainstreamed. It can get pretty hard when I don't have as much time as I want to plan them out, but each year I end up with more and more. Below you can see part of a screen shot of the flipchart I had up on our ActivBoard during the day's lesson. Every time we tackle a tiered lesson, I go over the Owl's assignment first so those students can get straight to work on their extension. But I need my other students to sit and take it in because if they complete their activity and show mastery, they are able to move on. That's why I love tiered lessons!! Extension/Tier 3 Group **Always works solo/independently** My group of about 6-7 Owls worked in the library on their own and had quite a time with their activity. They were doing so well I only had to check on them a couple different times to make sure they were measuring the area and perimeter correctly, since this was something we didn't do with irregular polygons as a whole class (we only had to use grid paper). Extra Practice/Tier 2 Group **Always works with 1-2 other students** My Eagles were able to gather in the back of our classroom on the strip of tile we have in order to practice identifying the perimeter and area using square units. I found this idea for regular polygons on Pinterest, but needed to use it for the irregular aspect. Many of my students were having trouble with larger figures where they had to count and solve for the formulas when there were upwards of 20 or so square units and multiple "irregular" corners. By making it a bit more hands on for them and on a smaller (although larger...LOLOLOL) scale, that group of kids grasped on to the application of the formulas we had already discovered and practiced a lot easier. Please ignore our dirty floor...the kids tend to bring in everything off our wet grassy field when they come in in the morning. Sigh. Reteach/Tier 1 Group **Always works with the teacher and/or small group** For this group of kids, it was a bit tricky. Each set of students needed additional reteaching and practice with a different aspect of perimeter and area (i.e. area of triangles and parallelograms versus perimeter of squares and rectangles or even irregular polygons) I decided to have them make flashcards for each formula, since many of the students in this group kept getting them mixed up between the different figures themselves or area versus perimeter. Then, we went from there with some extra practice on identifying perimeter and area using those formulas. My students crave tiered lessons because they truly appreciate being able to have the chance to not only move on if they are ready, instead of sitting through another reteach lesson, but they appreciate being able to jump to the next level when they are done working with me during the reteach. Everything is very fluid and depending on the tiered lesson, kids are not always in the same group to start with. I use exit tickets every time to determine which group students will be in. Sometimes, I even find I have to reteach as a whole class. All students are a lot more invested in the outcome of their learning and they enjoy some of the hands on and project-based opportunities to show their learning. Sure, the planning can take a bit more time than regular lessons...but in the end, it is soooooooo worth it! This summer, I plan on trying to put as many of my tiered lessons and choice/extension menus in my TPT store. But if you would like to check one of them out now, I have had my Plot Elements Choice Menu pack up HERE for a couple months (all based on Bloom's Taxonomy). It is starting to sell like hotcakes and that makes me so excited to know other students are able to partake in choices and extensions to show their learning! Yay!
