This summer, after attending a reading workshop, I've made it my goal to amp up and improve my guided reading and shared reading instruction. With this in
This activity is a great introduction to speed and motion. Students measure the time it takes to walk 5 meters and use this to calculate their average speed. They are then given the challenge to see if they can estimate an unknown distance using their average walking speed and the amount of time it takes to walk the unknown distance. Needed Materials: Meter sticks or metric measuring tape Timers/stop watches Sidewalk chalk, tape, cones, etc for marking start and ending calculators To do this activity, find a place outside with plenty of space. I use the blacktop at my school and have the students mark their distances on the ground using sidewalk chalk. You can also do the activity on the field and use cones or other markers. Measure and mark an unknown distance for the students to estimate in part 2. I do between 10 – 20 meters. In part 2 of the activity, students will measure the time it takes to walk this unknown distance and use this to estimate the distance. You can set up several different distances too. Students love being outside and gathering data. This is a great way to introduce calculating speed and the speed equation. It also shows students that the equation can be rearranged to calculate distance.

Do you want to know how you can use 6th grade science sketch notes to increase science learning while making your life easier? Science sketch notes combine words and images which increases students' ability to retain information. Note: scroll to the bottom of the page to get a sketch note FREEBIE to try out. Interested in the 6th grade bundle? Click HERE to see on TPT Interactive notebooks are notebooks that students use to document their learning and exploration in science. These interactive science notebooks are an ideal place to incorporate science sketch notes. Sketch notes are engaging and help meet the needs of all learners in class by making science concepts easy to understand with simple graphics and clear explanations. Most of the sketch notes include slideshows, writing prompts, and digital and print quizzes. 6 Benefits of Sketch Notes 1. Organizing Information Sketch notes help students organize information in a clear and structured way. Challenging concepts are more easily understood when they are visually mapped out with simple graphics and explanations. 2. Improves Comprehension Science sketch notes can help students understand complex topics by breaking them into manageable pieces. Students can see how concepts fit together and examples in action. 3. Enhances Creativity Middle school science students can add their own spin to their sketch notes. Adding different colors with markers or colored pencils helps students make the notes their own and engage with the concepts. Areas of the notes encourage students to explain what they have learned or provide a real-world example of the concept. 4. Supports Review and Studying By reviewing their science sketch notes, students can reinforce their understanding of key concepts and prepare for tests and assessments. 5. Teacher Time Saver In addition to being a helpful resource for students, science sketch notes can also be a time-saver for teachers. With low-prep activities, quizzes, and slideshows included in the notes, teachers can spend less time creating lesson plans and more time focusing on teaching. 6. Standards Aligned Science sketch notes are aligned with the 6th grade NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards), which means they cover the topics and skills that students are expected to learn at this grade level. This makes them an excellent tool for teachers who want to ensure that they are meeting curriculum standards and preparing their students for future science courses. 6 Tips on How to Use Sketch Notes Print and time the sketch notes pages and give each student a copy Show the slideshow to the whole class and fill out the notes together Students who need a little extra help: provide a copy of completed notes for them to use to fill out their page Post the slideshow on Google Classroom on your LMS so students who are absent can access them. Many of my students like to use the slideshow for studying Go over the notes using a variety of methods. Give the print or digital quiz. I love using the self-grading quiz because it makes life easier! Help students not lose their work by keeping sketch notes in an interactive science notebook 16 Resources for 6th Grade Science The following sketch notes sets are for 6th grade science and include a slideshow and quiz.

I have used the reading workshop model for about 8 years now. It has changed a lot over the years! One thing that has stayed the same is the ‘Respond to Text’ station. This is a time where students get to write about their reading. The station stays the same all year, but the activities in the station change. Below is a list of activities you can add to your ‘Respond to Text’ station at the beginning of the year. 1. Bookmark Book Report At the beginning of the year, some students struggle to finish chapter books. I find that this bookmark book report helps them stay engaged in their reading. The students keep track of the pages they read, and complete activities as they read their book. There is a fiction and nonfiction version available for download. 2. Text Structures Tri-fold Students can use this trifold to ‘hunt’ for different text structures. Just put a basket of nonfiction books at the station and you are set! It’s a great way to get them reading nonfiction books. 3. Choice Board Students get to choose what activities they’d like to complete. This is great because it can be used for the story of the week (if you follow a basal) or the chapter book they are currently reading. You can have the students glue this page inside their reading notebook, or have them staple their responses to this sheet and turn in. Download the Printables: Click here to download the bookmark book report. Click here to download the text structures trifold and choice board. Add editing tasks to your reading workshop block!

⭐️⭐️⭐️ This data displays activity gives students an engaging and self checking way to practice interpreting box and whisker plots. Students need to have an understanding of the data points (minimum, 1st quartile, median, 3rd quartile, maximum) as well as the interquartile range and know that each quartile represents 25% of the data. It's a wonderful activity that incorporates fun into the classroom! Use it as a quick percents assessment tool, a homework assignment, or even something for the kids to do after a test. ❤️ If you'd like the digital, drag and drop version of these questions, click here! ✅ Includes: A PDF Version Google Slides version ✅ How to "color" digitally: You can upload any resource to Google classroom and your students can access it. If your students are on an iPad or other handheld device, they will have the option to mark up any resource using just their finger. They have tools that look like pens, markers and highlighters they can use to color. An option for students who are computer (not device) based is to have them pull up the PDF, do the assignment on their own paper and simply take a photo to send in as their work. If they can print, that's even better. ⭐️ Available in the following bundles: 6th Grade Math Curriculum Resources Mega Bundle Middle School Math Coloring Pages {Version Two - A Growing Bundle} The digital portion is available in my 6th Grade Digital Bundle.
