Student work makes the best classroom decor! Students can work alone or in pairs to find 15 missing angles using supplementary, complementary, and vertical angles. Must also have knowledge of parallel lines cut by a transversal, the sum of the angles of a triangle, and equations. The end result is a elephant! Have students glue them to a new piece of paper, color and use them to decorate your classroom. All my favorite things - cooperative, self-checking, colorful, and wall-worthy!

Classroom transformations are one my favorite ways to get students engaged with their learning. Not only do students not feel like they are actually working, but it creates memories for them that last a lifetime and increases their retention of the skills being taught.

A Reading Graffiti Wall is a great way to build your classroom reading community. Students find inspirational quotes from books they are reading to share.
I'm not sure what it is about antique school primers, but I absolutely love them. The books for the youngest students, usually included an alphabet page showing cursive or script alphabets for handwriting practice, and those are my favorite pages. These two images both came from an 1898 primer. I think they would make adorable gift tags, or enlarged for printable instant art to frame, but tomorrow I'll be sharing another project I think these images are perfect for. Enjoy!
Since I typically leave my three bulletin boards up for the entire year, I decided to use PowerPoint to create my letters. See the steps below and
So let me just tell you...I'm in week 3 of school and I have A class! I am already worn out and it's only just begun!! Please pray for me...and my sanity...and yeah...just pray. Anywho, rant over! We worked on this cute activity inspired by Alisha Peara - The Bubbly Blonde! I used the movie strips on the bottom of mine from Alisha's Terrific Third Grade Fun pack, which you can purchase for yourself HERE. I used the camera from Creekside Teacher Tales and then decided to print and cut their pictures to put in the center. You can purchase this adorable set HERE! Off to watch Big Brother!! P.S. Amanda is soooo not my fav anymore. She sucks...lol GO JUDD!!
Hello, friends! I'm excited to share that the school-wide collaborative my first through fourth grade students created at THE BEGINNING of the school year (yikes!) is finally installed. Like, finally. Y'all, while I do love having all students creating a collab at the start of the school year, why do I do it to myself? It's so much work on my end! All the attaching to bulletin board paper and hanging...it's so much! AND I always procrastinate! And yet I do it year after year. Such a glutton for punishment, I guess. Here's a look inside the process of hanging this beast with some of my tips: When hanging something this heavy, it takes everything in your tool belt (as well as a helpful music teacherin' friend). Check out my tip on binder clips and long tabs of paper. It helps! I've not done an official post on how we created these dot paintings but I'll tell you: it was super easy! In fact, it's one of my fave kindergarten lessons which you can find the details on here. All students began with a dot in the middle of their paper. The paper was prefolded so that each dot was exactly in the middle. Meaning I quarter folded the paper, once in half one way and then in half the other. Dot was placed at the intersection of those two folded lines. Like the kidnergarten lesson, each student was then instructed to paint concentric circles around their dot using any colors of tempera paint they liked! Once dry, the paintings were cut along those folded lines. They were then rearranged and glued to a black piece of construction paper. This part was tricky so students helped one another. Early finishers painted the wording of the sign! And then the beast was hung...where it shall stay for a LONG, LONG time. Or the end of the school year where I'll have the students cut it apart to take home their circles (maybe. Or I may leave it up until next year!).

This download includes both a PDF and digital Google Slides version of this activity. This cut-and-paste, card sort activity is wonderfully flexible! My favorite way to use it is as notes for my students' interactive notebooks. I created the activity to provide structure and guide their thought process as they learn to factor polynomials. Some suggested uses for these card sorts: - introductory activity - notes - assignment - math center - review Card Sort #1 (Factoring: a = 1) contains polynomials in which the “a” value in ax2 + bx + c is equal to one. Card Sort #2 (Factoring: a ≠ 1) contains polynomials in which the “a” value in ax2 + bx + c is not equal to one. An answer key is included.
