Time zones are an often undervalued topic. Learning about them allows children to also learn about the Earth, the sun and the history of time-keeping. With some well thought out, hands-on lessons, children in lower elementary can already benefit from studying time zones. Here, we outline 12 sequenced Montessori time zone presentations using our Time Zone Bundle and provide some fun facts about time zones in general.

Most activities can be completed in 10-15 minutes, sometimes 20. The resource is extremely flexible and shows you where you can break up activities if you need to make something shorter. Will I need to teach a grammar lesson every day? Nope! If you want to, you can - but I know that your literacy block is already packed. Many of these activities can be easily incorporated into your existing reading and writing instruction. Can these materials be used as centers, independent work, or D5 activities? Yes! Each week has whole class lessons AND (optional) follow-up activities. Those follow-up activities work well as independent work, as long as you first model how to do them. Can I start this program in the middle of the school year? Definitely! Look over the list of topics (p. 4, here), and eliminate any skills you’ve already taught. Then, start with whatever week seems most relevant to your students. What skills or topics are covered? The following skills are covered (to see the order of skills covered, please look at p. 4 of this document: Speaking and writing in complete sentences Capitalizing the first word in a sentence Capitalizing the word “I” Capitalizing names Capitalizing proper nouns (the basics) Correctly capitalizing and punctuating the date Ending punctuation (periods, exclamation points, question marks) Writing statements, exclamations, and questions Using commas in a list sentence Prepositions Nouns (common and proper) Conjunctions Sentence combining Adjectives, including shades of meaning Verbs, including shades of meaning Expanding sentences Subject and predicate Possessive nouns Personal pronouns Possessive pronouns Indefinite pronouns Present, past, and future tense verbs Irregular past tense verbs Informal and formal uses of language Articles and demonstratives (determiners) Basic contractions Can I teach the skills out of order? Absolutely! Keep in mind that the earlier weeks will include simpler skills, but it’s very easy to use the weeks out of order. How long will these materials last? These materials should last all year! 35 weeks’ worth of lessons and activities are included. Can I purchase just part of this resource? This pack can only be purchased in full. However, you’re welcome to download a full week of lesson plans HERE. Will it be difficult or expensive to print these materials? No! The main PDFs have only black and white materials. You can print them as-is. There is an optional, separate PDF with color materials for the posters and some of the games. Will this work well with your reading workshop and/or writing workshop materials? Yes! Although Grammar Alive can work alongside any reading or writing program, it complements my reading and writing bundles nicely. If you follow the provided sequence of skills and lessons (for both Grammar Alive and my writing bundle), you’ll notice that Grammar Alive covers many skills right before or as you’re working on them in writing. This helps set students up for success!
Use this free printable set of coin sorting mats and coin identification puzzles in kindergarten and first grade to help kids begin learning about coins.
Welcome! Here is the view of our first grade hallway at Wayland Bonds Elementary! This year we decided to go with a camping theme. We made our doorways look like log cabins by making logs out of butcher paper. We all bought a pine tree from Mardels. I also had my mom sew red and white checker curtains for each of our windows. Each one of our doorways has our names on them out of the wooden letters you can purchase from Hobby Lobby or Michaels. Here is the camping welcome sign as you enter the first grade hallway. We each took laminated scrapbook paper and glued it to the wall with a cloths pin. Now we can easily hang the student's work in the hallway without having to use a lot of tape! This awesome idea came from my teammate Ms. Fleming! My Classroom Pictures Here is a look into my classroom! This is my teacher desk. I got rid of the traditional desk I had in my classroom. I never sat at it and it took up a lot of space. I love using this table as my desk! All my office supplies are stored in the drawers that are located behind my desk. Pictures of the drawers are below. I have each pod of desks labeled with group signs. Click HERE to download my group signs from my TpT Store! The baskets on the shelf are each student's individual book basket for their independent reading books. I use this pocket chart to store the student's library and lunch cards. Weekly Activities and Worksheets This is how I organize the week's worksheets and activities. Sharpened Pencils When my students need a sharpened pencil they just come get one from the drawer. This prevents the students from interrupting my lesson using the pencil sharpener. To keep sharpened pencils always on hand I have my student helper help me at the end of the day sharpen all the pencils. I found this storage container at Wal-Mart. Need a Color/Found a Crayon When there are crayons found on the floor, the students simply put them in the bin. Then whenever someone needs a color they can just come to the bin and get the color they need. This helps prevent a big interruption when a student needs a certain color crayon. I purchased this storage container at Wal-Mart. Click HERE to download my pencil and crayon system labels on my TpT store! Centers In order for the students to know what math or literacy centers they go to each day they look to the center wheels. Each section of the wheel has 2 to 3 names written in it. Each day the students go to the center that their name is located. When that center rotation is over (about 20 minutes later), the students follow the arrows to their next center. I have a total of eight centers. The students do two centers each Monday through Thursday. Then, Friday is used as a day to finish any unfinished work. I found the storage containers that I put the worksheets and games in at Mardels. Each center tub is labeled with a sign. Click HERE to download my literacy and math center signs from TpT! Each student has a math and literacy center folder that holds their center work for the week. They take these folders to their centers each day. All center work stays in these folders until it is due. Anytime a student has extra time they are to check their center folders and finish any unfinished work. These folders are stored in the pocket charts to prevent a desk full of folders and paper. FREE Centers! The writing center has many different supplies for the students to be creative in drawing, coloring, and making stories for their writing. I have included stencils, colored pens, stickers, markers, stamps, shaped scissors, etc. for the students to use. In the Science center I have scales, measuring tapes, magnifying glasses, etc. for the students to explore with. Morning Work Drawers Planning morning work can be so time consuming and also take a lot of copies - so I needed a new system. My teammate Mrs. Fletcher from Fletchtastic in First came up with this awesome idea! Each morning the students come in and get their morning work drawer for the day. The students know which drawer to get for the day because they have a folder with a morning work calendar that is labeled specifically for them. Each day on the calendar has the morning work drawer number they are to complete. The drawers are filled with file folder games, worksheets, and activities. Each activity is meaningful and reviews the skills that have been taught in class. After morning work time is over, I go around and check each worksheet and activity the students completed for the morning. If they missed any problems they get immediate feedback. Also if they complete their morning work on time they receive a small sticker on their morning work calendar. I couldn't believe it when my first grade students learned the morning work system and got it down so quickly! I bought the drawers from Michaels. They were so much cheaper than the drawers Mardel's sells! Click HERE to download the Morning Work Calendars and Teacher Planning Pages from my TpT Store! Files I have organized my math and literacy worksheets by skill. This makes pulling a worksheet for a center or activity really easy. Click HERE to download my Math File Folder Labels by Skill on my TpT store! Click HERE to download my Language File Folder Labels by Skill on my TpT store! I also use these boxes to store my files in. I got them for free using my Scholastic points! My themed worksheets and activities are stored in my unit binders. Using these binders to store all my unit stuff makes it so much easier to find and pull the things you need. I can't even imagine how many file cabinets and what a big mess of paperwork I would have if I didn't use these binders! Click HERE to download my unit binder covers and spines from my TpT store! Construction Paper/Fancy Paper All my construction paper, writing paper, border paper, etc. is stored in my file cabinet in hanging folders. Teaching Carpet Area Each of my students have an assigned square they come to each time we meet at the carpet. This prevents many problems like students sitting by other students that they talk to, sitting far away, fighting over where they sit, etc. Cubby Boxes Each student has their own cubby box. I use these cubby boxes to place each students graded work in. I placed it right behind my desk, so I can easily turn around and place their work in their cubby box! I got these cubby boxes at Sam's. Read Aloud Books To keep the books I use as my read aloud books separate from my other books, I have organized them into these magazine holders. Each holder is labeled with the unit or theme of the books. I got these holders at Mardel's. This holder has all my fall themed books that I use during my read aloud time. Click HERE to download the labels I use for my book holders from my TpT Store! Organizing Books I have the books that the students read organized by reading level. I am really particular that my students are reading books that are within their ZPD range. By organizing my books by reading level it really helps the students be able to easily find and read books that are on their level. Click HERE to download my leveled book bin labels from my TpT store! Organizing Supplies To prevent my students from playing with scissors, glue, etc. when they are not supposed to- I do not allow them to keep their supplies in their desk. Instead many of the supplies are kept together in certain parts of the classroom. Each one of the bins has the different supplies stored in them. I bought these bins at Lakeshore and they came in a package of four. Click HERE to download my supply labels from my TpT store! Each one of these supply tubs are assigned to a certain group. This has a group supply of red pens, glue bottles, scissors, etc. in them. This is a fast way to pass out the supplies when needed! I bought these tubs from Target for $3.00 each. These numbered bags are used to place different student materials in that you might need in the middle of a lesson. Instead of having to pass out each of the supplies you can have what each student needs in their bag at all times. They just grab their bag and come to the carpet or to their desk. It makes things so easy! I bought these bags from Oriental Trading. I cut the numbers out of material and then had my mom sew them on. Organizing Manipulatives My manipulatives are stored in these storage containers I purchased from Mardels. It is very nice having the storage containers with the lids. It prevents the manipulatives from spilling out when bumped into. I can easily pass out manipulatives or have the students come get what they need from the bins. Click HERE to download my math manipulative labels from my TpT store! Storing Games I had my husband make this cabinet for me. Inside the cabinet I have many storage boxes. Each storage box is labeled with a specific math or language arts skill. For example, one of my tubs is labeled rhyming. All my rhyming activities and games are stored in that storage box. I can easily find and pull out games for centers or activities since they are organized by skill. Keeping Desks Together I was tired of my desks looking like a train hit them by the end of each day, so I found a great and cheap way to keep them together. I use medium and large sized zip ties to keep them together. I place the zip ties on multiple places on the desks. It works really well! Here is a look from under the desks where the large zip ties were placed. I used the medium sized zip ties on the legs of the desks. I bought these from Lowe's. Here are the actual zip ties I used. My husband is really good at fastening the zip ties really tight...so he's the one that puts them on the desks for me. :) I am getting to borrow these awesome table tops from one of my teammates that went on maternity leave this year. She had them made to fit a group of six desks to hold them together. I am not going to want to give them back next year!! I've had a lot of people ask how the table tops were made. Unfortunately since I just borrowed them I don't know exactly how they were made. I think they were made like a countertop. Here is a picture of what they look like underneath. Hopefully that will give you a better idea... Keeping Items Organized Inside Cabinets The best way to keep my things organized inside my large cabinets is by using baskets. These baskets can be found at the Dollar Tree for $1.00! Here is an example of some of the baskets I have. Here are all my large books stored together. Inside this cabinet I have my anchor charts hanging up. See my blog post Storing Anchor Charts to see how I did this. Here is a look at my other large cabinet. I used more baskets, storage containers, and boxes to store my items. Keeping Items Organized Inside Drawers To keep my office supplies inside my drawers organized I used baskets and storage containers to keep the items grouped together. Since I don't have a traditional desk in my classroom, I use these drawers to hold all my office supplies. Inside Cabinets This cabinet holds my monthly bulletin board bags. Each bag holds monthly supplies, decorations, activities, etc. I have a free center and inside recess game cabinet. This prevents me from having to pull from different places to get out games for the students to play. My students can easily find and get out the games they want to play with during indoor recess or free center time. Free center games and activities cabinet. Inside recess game cabinet. Bulletin Boards Changing out bulletin boards during the school year can be very time consuming and expensive - so I came up with bulletin boards that I can keep the same during the school year and also ones that are good to have. Here are pictures of my different boards. Birthday Board Each student receives a birthday certificate and bag full of goodies on their birthday. This makes celebrating each student's birthday so much easier and a good way not to forget. Classroom Rules Board On the first day of school we sit down as a class and make our own classroom rules. These rules are created during a discussion by the students, while being facilitated by me. Surprisingly, student created rules are often the same as – or even tougher than – rules a teacher might create. The rules the students create become the standard for expected behavior by which all students agree. When students actively participate in establishing rules for the classroom and agree to them, they are more likely to follow the rules because they take ownership and know the importance of them. In turn, this leads to a more conducive learning environment with fewer classroom disruptions. These classroom rules, also known as our Classroom Constitution are signed by the students and posted in our classroom for all to see! Accelerated Reader Board Visit my blog post on Accelerated Reader Rewards to see what I do to keep my students motivated to read and take AR tests! Click HERE to download my AR Rewards from my TpT store! Star of the Week Board Each week one child in our class is chosen as the "Star of the Week." This is a special opportunity for that child to be highlighted throughout the week and share some important parts of his or her life with our class. Each student will be asked to fill out some information and collect some special items to display on our "Star of the Week" bulletin board. Calendar/Schedule/Behavior Management Board This bulletin board used to have all my calendar stuff on it but I have now begun doing my calendar routine on the smartboard. There are tons of great smartboard calendar lessons on the internet and on TpT that you can use! Click HERE to download my Daily Schedule Cards from my TpT Store! So instead this bulletin board has been changed to display many different useful tools that we use each day. First, we have the calendar with important dates listed. I also have our schedule posted for all the students to see. I think it really helps the students when they can see what is planned for the day. It also prevents questions like, "When is lunch?" or "Do we have PE today?". I have a tree made out of butcher paper. This tree gets changed out each season to reflect what a tree really looks like during that season. I also have our behavior management pocket chart posted here. Restroom Break This is a picture of the restroom break system I use. When the green sign is posted the students (one at a time) may move their number next to the restroom sign and take the pass and go. If the red sign is posted, then they may not leave the classroom to take a break. (Unless of course it is an emergency.) This prevents students from raising their hand and asking to go to the restroom in the middle of your lesson. Eventually the students catch on to when is an appropriate and inappropriate time to leave the classroom. Click HERE to download my restroom break signs from my TpT store! Outlaw Word Wall I don't have a traditional word wall. The words that we post on our word wall are words that cannot be sounded out to spell. That's why our word wall is called the "Outlaw Word Wall." These words are outlaw words because they break the traditional spelling rules. Anchor Chart Wall I use many anchor charts during my lessons. I found that I needed a place to display them so the students could refer to them if they needed to. I hot glued clothes pins on my back wall. It makes it so easy to hang and switch out the anchor charts when needed! Numbered Chairs Weeks into the school year the nameplates I place on each student's desk begins to take a turn for the worse. So I eventually tear them up. The students just rely on their numbered chair to find their seat. Click HERE to download my chair numbers from my TpT Store! Keep checking back year to year as I continue to update and add more things to my classroom each year! ...

5 years ago I took a CGI (Cognitive Guided Instruction) training and loved everything about it. I took in a lot of what I learned and it shaped the way I teach math. CGI is an elementary level mathematics professional development at WCER in the 1980's and 1990's by education professors. Last year I took another training and it revitalized my need for journals in the classroom and more CGI instruction. But finding time to fit them in every day was a challenge. I think I finally have a good routine down that allows me to include journals and problem solving skills every single day. So here we go! Journals are pretty simple. Just a composition book! I do have labels on them but this picture is old! Here is our math journal routine: We have a story problem of the day that I type up in a simple format. Students put their heads down, close their eyes, and listen to the problem. Here are some examples of the problems. (I print them like this so I can cut them and give each student a problem to glue in their journal) Next we raise our hands and decide where we should start. Once students know where to begin they can get started in their journals. They glue the problem down in their journals and start by drawing a picture. I always have blocks available on the tables so they can also use manipulatives to solve the problem too. Our expectations for math journals are simple. #1 Draw a picture to show your strategy. #2 Write a number sentence that shows how you solved the problem. #3 Write a complete sentence to answer the question in the problem. When they have done all 3 things they get a stamp or sticker from me and then they can move on to math tubs. Here are a few examples: This kiddo had a great strategy but needed help on accuracy. This was his first independent attempt. We discussed going back to double check. He saw his mistake immediately and fixed it. This was early in our journal journey. This kiddo gets it, but we needed to discuss how to show our strategy. In this case I would ask, "Where did you start?", and students can usually pin point that. He started with 13 and then counted on 6 to get to 19. We've worked on how to show that to share with others. This kiddo is super sophisticated. She showed her work with tens and ones (circles and x's) and went on to explain her thinking by naming the strategy she used in her sentence. She showed she needed to add on 12 by showing it is a 10 and 2 ones. This kiddo is using blocks to show me his thinking.... This kiddo does amazing pictures everyday to show her thinking using different color crayons. The most important part of all of this are the quick 2 minute conversations I have with them as they explain their thinking to me. Sometimes I have them explain to a neighbor and we try to share 3 or 4 journals each day in a "Writer's Workshop" style share time at the end of math. Doing journals daily has helped us have conversations about math, name our strategies, and explain our thinking. Our problem of the day always has to do with something that is going on in our lives. It's important to write your own problems so the kiddos are invested in the problem and it really makes a huge difference. I have some problems already typed up and ready to go for days I don't have time but they really enjoy being the "problem of the day" so I try to stick to that. You can see the entire set of math journal resources HERE. When students finish they move on to math tubs. Math tubs have all kinds of hands on materials in them. I use these large dish pans for my math tubs so they can fit a lot of different materials! To see MATH JOURNALS and what I put in my tubs click HERE. Want to save this for later? Pin it here!

Are plants part of your science curriculum in kindergarten, first grade, and second grade? Are you having trouble getting all of your students to mastery, given the limited amount of time available to teach science? Here's something that might help you! The Next Generation Science Standards call for students to describe patterns of what living things need to survive, understand how plant parts contribute to their survival, and observe plant needs, life cycles, and diversity. Even with the language simplified as much as I did there, that's a whole lot of content! Fortunately, most primary grade students are super interested in science. With interest so high, many of your students will bring their prior knowledge to your lessons, and of course those connections are going to help secure all that new vocabulary and information. But what about those kids who don't have the background, or who aren't as interested? What do you do to make the path to mastery easier for them? Have you tried riddles? Kids love solving riddles, and I'm a big fan of using them in teaching. I have riddles for everything from the ocean to animals, from sight words to digraphs. And math? More math riddles than I can count! Riddles get kids thinking, and help them make the kinds of connections that make new information stick! Plus, every riddle that you solve together is another opportunity to model identifying key details, making inferences, and drawing conclusions. That's a whole lot of learning wrapped up in a package of fun! I just finished up a set of 20 plant riddles with answers like stem, leaf, seedling, germination, cactus, greenhouse, roots, tree, shovel, sun, soil, and nine more. It also includes a small group bingo game, a riddle writing activity, and a whole class graphing activity. I love incorporating cross-curricular activities in my science riddle sets. The more times your students see and hear these words, the more quickly they'll conquer them! Besides, who doesn't want to cover multiple standards withone activity?!? Click here to see the complete set! Would you like to try a free sample from the Plant Riddles set? Click to download Your sample includes three vocabulary matching boards with 20 plants vocabulary word cards on each board. Here are some ideas for using them. * Cut a board apart and match the cards to another board that hasn't been cut. You can adjust this according to your students' needs: words to pictures, words to pictures / words, pictures to picture / words, etc. * Cut all three boards apart into sets of 20 cards. Have students find all the matching sets of three cards. * Put the word cards or the picture / word cards in your writing center to encourage writing about science. * Use the cards in a literacy center for alphabetizing or syllable sorts. * Use on a tabletop pocket chart for categorizing and other activities. Click to download your free copy! Happy Teaching! p.s. If you already own either the Science Riddle Cards Bundle or Riddle Round-Up, please download them again ... the Plant Riddles resource is now included, and is yours at no extra charge, of course!
If you’re anything like me, as a teacher you love teaching thematically. SO much content can be covered on a cross-curricular level…so many connections can be made… when taking this approach to instruction. And because most public schools don’t support teaching about Easter, this is a great time of the year for teaching all about …
