Teach children about respect, honesty, and gratitude at school and in the classroom with these social-emotional learning lessons and hands-on activities for kids.

Hi, Teaching Friends! Fourth grade teachers, this one's for you! If you're always hunting for math games to give your students lots of effective practice that makes the most of their time in math rotations, you're going to love this measurement game freebie! (Slide down to the purple button to download it now!) Why should I consider using these games for math rotations? In addition to the math practice that games provide, there are so many good reasons to include games like these in your math plans! Games are engaging - students want to play them again and again, and of course that equals more practice! Winning a Thumbs Up game is based as much on luck as ability, so you can have partners of mixed ability work together. I like that - it elevates the strugglers and reminds your higher students that everyone can (and should!) have opportunities to win! Need more reasons? This post talks about the advantages of starting off the school year using games, and gives even more reasons in support of making games part of your math teaching plans! What are Thumbs Up math games? They're easy-prep games that are played by partners, and they're all about evaluating, comparing, and sorting numerical expressions. Every game has 24 cards, each with a mathematical expression that your students will evaluate to decide if it's thumbs up true or thumbs down false. How do I prepare these games? Super easy prep! Just print two sheets, the cards and the answer key. Cut the cards apart, and you're ready to go! Your download also includes two cute sorting pages which your students will enjoy using, but the sorting can be done without them if you're in a time pinch getting your game ready. What topics do these games address? There are ten games in the complete Fourth Grade Thumbs Up set. Here are the topics they address: Factors of numbers through 100 Comparing two fractions with different numerators and different denominators Comparing decimals Ordering decimals Adding and subtracting whole number through 1,000,000 Multiplying a whole number of up to four digits by a one-digit number Multiplying two two-digit numbers Using place value to solve multi-digit multiplication and division Express measurements in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. This one is your freebie! Characteristics of 2D and 3D shapes Several of the games address multiple skills, like this one for geometric shapes that also brings in some addition and multiplication. Here's what I mean! Click here to see the complete set! Try out a Thumbs Up game with this freebie. I'd love it if you'd let me know what you think of it! Happy Teaching!

I have to share this rockin' activity inspired by an awesome math teacher and blogger, To The Square Inch. In fourth grade, we learn about tenths and hundredths. It's a hard one for kids to get! Once we understand these place values, we turn them into fractions and put tenths on numberlines.... It's a lot. For students AND teacher.... Anyway, I saw this activity a few years ago on Pinterest and tweeked it for my kiddos since it originally had the students working with percents and fractions. It's now our "Hundredths Design Square". First, the students color a square hundredths model using four different colors. Then they count the colored squares and record each color as a decimal. After that, they turn it into a fraction. The kids LOVE IT! And it sure is fun! Check out these awesome designs!

I teach 5 classes of Kindergarten. Some of the pictures didn't turn out all all that great, so here are just a few. I had introduced this lesson a few weeks ago to you all. However, seeing the paintings all together is something else!! I mounted the work on black as not to take away from the color of their paintings. I had many parents say they planned on framing their child's work.

Looking for some fun lessons for teaching children (and getting them excited!) about Jesus, can kind of be difficult. Especially when you have children in your classroom that can range in age from three months to almost 6th grade. I found this on Pinterest- Fizzy Forgiveness Prayer Station. What I really loved about this was the fact that you can take something relatively easy to find (fizzy tablets) and turned it into something really cool! Kids LOVE fizz. Even I as an adult, feel child like exuberance when I see fizz. There is something just so awesome about effervescence. I took this fizz idea and made it my own. Sometimes to come up with a cool idea, we just need a little help from above-and others! My lesson was to teach children about prayer. I don't think you can stress enough, the importance of building a strong relationship with our Lord. Prayer does this along with reading His word. Welcome to the lesson of: "Jesus Gets Excited When You Pray!" I used 1 Timothy 2:1-6 (NLT). I wanted to stress that Jesus hears all prayers, not just prayers that come from adults, and we should pray for everyone! Also, I wanted the children to understand what praying actually means. I looked up and printed out the definition, and some easier words, to help describe what it means to pray. After we took turns reading and discussion what prayer means and how it applies to the verse I showed the kids what happens when we pray. I used two glasses and filled them with some regular tap water and for extra "fizz" some sparkling water. I went to our local City Market and bought these Alka Seltzer generic tablets. We got 30 tables for roughly $2. I wanted to make sure we had enough for two child, at the very least. I allowed the children to pick what color we would make the water-they chose green, purple. My children at home chose orange. I had them gather around and I said, "Tell me how this makes you feel." I dropped a tablet into the water and it immediately began to fizz. The excitement on their faces was extremely evident and also, they said it was pretty cool. I asked them if it was exciting to watch the fizz, and they all said, "Yes!" I told them, that every time we pray to Jesus, that's how he feels. He feels excited, because we're building a relationship with him. We're talking to him, we're including him in our lives. Jesus loves us so much and he wants to be a part of our lives. I handed each kid two tablets (there are two in each pack) and said that each one of us could pray together for someone or about something in their lives. I also gave them personal discretion that if they didn't feel comfortable praying out loud, we would just pray in agreement silently with them. To watch the kids pray with excitement was just amazing! I know it partly had to do with the fizzy tablets they got to play with, but we also got to watch them gain understanding that praying is a good thing. Praying can be fun! If it's fun to go to the movies, shouldn't it be fun to spend time praying to God too? I think so! Also, I told the kids, after we had gotten into a few prayers, that we needed to be quiet and listen. They could hear the fizzing noise in action. I said sometimes that's how God works. He answers our prayers, but sometimes we have to be quiet and listen. God is a gentleman and he never forces us to do anything. At the end of the class, I allowed the kids to save up their fizzes and they all dropped their remaining ones in together to see if they could over flow the water (which of course they managed to do! I'm pretty sure that was the one silent prayer we had!!). We finished up the lesson with another coloring page from TwistyNoodle! I mentioned them before in our Lamb of God lesson we did over Resurrection Sunday. I hope you found this fun and can some how use it to teach your kids about how awesome and amazing Jesus Christ is! Just an FYI-I have a few left over tablets and I kept the orange glass out for our kids, and when they pray I let them drop a fizz into the water. Make sure to monitor your kids too! If you use the alka seltzer tablets, make sure they don't eat them or drink the water that you use. I'm not sure what exactly could happen, but we don't need to try to imagine it either! Have fun sharing and learning about God! I'd love to hear your ideas or how you've incorporated this into your own lessons and teaching! Do you follow me on Facebook? Do you follow me on Pinterest?

Getting ready for General Conference? Come check out THIS linky party and ideas! Come join in on the fun at the After General Conference Soiree, starts Friday, October 13th!! What do you have in your Primary bag? Here's what's in mine... -Magnets- I have both the circle magnets but I also have a magnet strip that you can take of the backing and stick it onto something, I usually use this if the kids want it as a magnet or I run out of the circle magnets for the board. -Chalk and Eraser- I have the colored kind, the kids love them. For time fillers, which is rare, they enjoy playing Hangman on the board, my rule is they have to pick a word from the scriptures that we read. -Gospel Art Book- whenever I can't find a picture that I want to use in the manual's pictures, typically the book has what I'm looking for. - Scissors- I've come to learn that sometimes you need more handouts then you think... I typically print out 2 or 3 more handouts then I need and just stick them into my binder for the just in case, and I can cut them out if needed. If I don't need them they go into a file at home. -Tape and Gluestick- I enjoy puzzles with a hidden message on the back, put the puzzles together flip it over and there's a song or a quote on the back... love... Or when we did the Armor of God, the kids each were able to tape or glue their armor onto their guys. -Playdough- just little containers of it (party pack)... if I forget a game or other object(s) for the lesson, I have playdough and we play a "Cranium" type game where the kids can either draw with chalk or sculpt with the dough. Very fun and the kids love it. I also have let the kids use a small playdough to create a figure resembling the hero in the scriptures and let them keep it. Just a couple weeks ago, one of the girls in my class was telling me about her King Benjamin figure how she has it on her dresser. Awe, touched heart :) -Sketch Book- this just blank paper bound in a book so they don't go all over the place, it fun seeing the pictures that the kids draw and color after watching a scripture video or read a scripture story. -Markers/ Colored Pencils/Crayons/ Pencils- for the drawing/coloring I keep a stash of markers and twistable crayons when we pull out coloring pages or blank pages from the sketch book. Time Fillers- These I have but I rarely need them, we usually go right to the bell I do however keep my Articles of Faith Cards and Faith in God for boys and girls as well as a Children's Songbook. If the kids want they can work on a project their working on or they can study the Articles of Faith, or they can draw and color pictures for the songs. I also have a bean bag to play "hot potato" with the song for the Books of the Book of Mormon. These are needed rarely, but I keep them for the just in case and as the Spirit moves me. -Extra Small Books of Mormon (or is it Book of Mormons?--- The Best Two Years' Debate), I think in the 1 1/2 years since teaching Primary, I've had 1 or 2 weeks that each of the kids has their scriptures, so it's nice to have extras so everyone can follow along and they are pretty cheap and small. They can be found at the Distribution Center. -Pocket Kleenex- I know, I know, you're like... kleenex??? Really, as a must have... but without fail each week those boys in the back HAVE to go in the middle of class to blow their nose, get a drink, etc.... and it takes the class a few minutes to get back on track, so at the beginning those that need drinks get them, those that need the bathroom go.... and if they need a tissue I whip one out... like Mary Poppins. It's very handy now especially with the weather changing and nose bleeds as well.

If you are unable to integrate Halloween spookiness into your curriculum, think beyond the ghosts and ghouls! My recent post on wombats and the many comments and emails I received about how utterly fabulous wombats are, got me thinking. There are so many wonderful wombat stories, and one of my favourites is 'Wombat Stew' by Marcia K. Vaughan. Wombat Stew Wombat Stew is the story of a dingo who captures a nice fat wombat, with plans to cook him up in a stew. Various other Australian bush animals happen by and offer Dingo suggestions as to what he should put in his stew before adding the Wombat. Dingo follows their advice, adding all sorts of weird and wonderful bush ingredients. In the end, Dingo is encouraged to give the stew a taste test, and let's just say that our lovely plump wombat friend is saved! The text has a lovely, captivating rhythm and the illustrations are very entertaining. A Non-Spooky Halloween Alternative The billy can that is used to make the stew, looks a lot like a cauldron! It would be great to read to your class in the lead up to Halloween along with, or instead of stories of witches, spells and cauldrons. Meg's Cauldron is one you find find appropriate for kindergarten. After reading Wombat Stew, you could possibly follow it up with a writing lesson on procedural texts. Talk with your class about the purpose of procedural texts and the organisational features of them. Procedural Text Project My daughter and I jointly constructed part of a procedure for Wombat Stew (see photo above). We just did the first half - 'what you need' part. In the classroom, I might have done the what to do part as well. We cut a simple billy (cauldron) from black paper, and a worried looking wombat from brown paper. I then helped her recall the text and find the ingredients that were needed to make wombat stew and wrote each of a different piece of coloured paper. Making an enlarged version of the procedure will help students to understand the organisational features of the text type. You can have it in your classroom to not only talk about and discuss, but as a decorative display. Here is a writing worksheet that you may like to use in conjunction with Wombat Stew or another story in the upcoming weeks. Your students can decide what they will make in their cauldron and list the ingredients they will need. I'd love to share it with you from Google Drive: Wombat Stew Writing Page
