Not too long ago, I got the bug in me to start an Etsy shop. I was inspired by all the cool, unique, sometimes ordinary things people sell on there. What I realized as I was researching all the different categories is that there are quite a few things you can sell that are actually free. I couldn't believe it! The frugal person in me went berserk brainstorming all the things I could get for free that might sell. But first I wanted to make a list of ACTUAL free things people are selling on Etsy and go from there.

Teach Kids To Trust God When Things Are Scary! There are many things in life that can cause kids to be afraid. Kids need to know that no matter what they're facing, God is bigger and He wants to comfort them. _______ Not Afraid Lessons Overview: Memory Verse: “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.” Psalm 56:3 (NIV) Lessons: New Things – New things can be scary; whether it's starting at a new school, making new friends, or just trying something you've never done before. But with God by our side and leading us, we don't have to be afraid. Exodus 3:1-14, 4:1-17. Moses and the Burning Bush Not Having Enough – You might be scared of not having enough; whether it's food or money or stuff. But you can also trust God that he will provide for all of your needs. Exodus 16:1-23. God Provides Manna Pain and Suffering – Nobody wants to experience pain, suffering, or death. It's scary to think about. But when you remember that Jesus is with you, you can handle any of life's painful storms. Mark 4:35-41. Jesus Calms the Storm Being Alone – It's scary to think you are all alone, that no one cares. But God loves you. He will never leave you. He is on your side. He doesn't want you to be afraid. 1 Kings 19:1-18. The Lord Appears to Elijah _______ About This Curriculum: Perfect for kids ages 6-12 4-weeks Includes large group and small group resources This curriculum is an instant download Download a free sample here Each Lesson Includes: Make It Stick! Parent Sheet - so you can let mom and dad know what kids are learning each week and look like a rockstar teacher who's thought of everything. Memory Verse - so that you can make sure kids are getting Scripture in their minds and hearts every single week and you can feel like each lesson was a success even when it seems like 90% of your lesson time is spent saying things like "calm down", "let's be quiet", "hands to yourself!" Skit or Puppet Show - so you have a way to easily connect the lesson with your hands-on and visual learners. No drama team? No problem! Just hand the script to the kids. They'll have a blast and think you're the coolest. Craft Activity - so you can give kids a physical reminder of the Bible lesson (and give yourself an activity to keep them busy until mom and dad come back!) Game - so kids don't leave and say church was BORING! Games are so important to help keep kids engaged. Our large group games always include a "What's The Point" section to help you connect the game to the lesson. Large Group Lesson - so you can present the Bible story in a clear and fun way, which means now you can enjoy Saturday nights instead of stressing over putting a lesson together! Small-Group Discussion - so you can find out who was paying attention and who was talking to their neighbor. Just kidding, this is a great way for you to build deeper relationships with your kiddos after each lesson, which means you're going to care about them so much you'll cry like a baby when they graduate and go to middle school :( _______ Guaranteed to Be Awesome! 100% Money Back Guarantee.

If you didn’t have to work, would you? Maybe you don’t have to. Here’s what to do when you hate your job.
I created my own version of math Rotations a few years ago when I just couldn’t meet the needs of all of my students doing whole group instruction. I found that my high kids were bored and not listening, my middle of the road kids were mostly listening (I mean, I was teaching to them!!), and my low kids were staring off in space. Not good. That’s when I did some research and decided to do Differentiated Math Rotations. Here is a quick overview of what I do. I am NOT claiming to be an expert at all!! This is just works for me (and my kiddos’ state test scores) I will also add that I DO NOT do rotations EVERY SINGLE DAY! I still find it incredibly valuable to have students participating in Math Talks, completing Performance Events, playing Games, and figuring out difficult problems with students who are not on their level. Their conversations are so important This blog post describes the majority of my time. So.. how does it work you ask? I pre-assess my students at the beginning of each unit. Make it easy on yourself and just give them a five question multiple choice sheet that covers the topics of the unit. That way you can QUICKLY assess their strengths and weaknesses. I have to use our district Common Assessments, but it accomplishes the same thing. Next, I group them according to the results. I use the Cardinal Directions as groups because it is a Compass Rose, shaped like a cross. There is not really a top or bottom because all four sides are important to find your way. All 5 correct: West (advanced) 3-4 correct: East 2 correct: South 0-1 correct: North (low) I usually play around a little bit with the East and South groups to even out the number of kiddos. I also assign each student a partner who is in their group to play at the game station. Now remember, these groups are flexible. I am constantly monitoring my students to see if they need to change groups. I will usually get a few kids who can move up to West (advanced) and some kiddos who move up from North. I have had a student or two who has moved down to North for a few lessons. You are meeting your kids where they are. I also DON’T do stations EVERY Day. I do it MOST days!! Notice that North group begins with the Teacher. This is so your low group is the first group of the day and they go directly to their desk to practice after meeting with you. West group on the other hand, meets with you last. The first thing that they do is practice. These kiddos can usually start an inquiry based activity alone and then meet with you later to discuss it. Or you can have them practice something from yesterday’s lesson. Since the groups are flexible, I use a sticky note to record the group members’ names. I also use pencil so that I can erase. Your groups will not always be even. You may have to have two low groups for example. I hot glue the other labels to a white board. I write the materials needed and assignments students will complete at each station. Once I have all my little honey buns in groups, I teach them about the rotations they will be making each day. Each rotation is "supposed" to last for 10 mins. I have been "flexible" with my timing for each group, depending on their understanding of the lesson. There are four rotations: Teacher, Desk, Game, Fast Facts. While I don’t do a whole group lesson at the beginning, we do come back for share time to talk about our new learning. This is when the kiddos come to me at the carpet or small group table for the actual lesson that is presented on their level. Your middle groups are easy to plan. You just use your Math Program. North and West are more tricky. You have to plan specifically for them. I do A LOT of hands-on activities with my North group. While I am teaching a modified version of the curriculum, I am still expecting to get them to be successful on the grade level assessment. This takes flexible planning on your part. I KNOW my end goal and how I need to get them there, but I have no idea if this group will “get” the lesson or if I will need to reteach in a different way. I am prepared either way. West group needs a challenge. These are most likely your gifted learners. They do NOT need MORE work. They have already proven to you that they have met the grade level expectation. These kiddos can work on performance events and projects. You will still be teaching them, but something more advanced. Where do I get my resources? My TPT Store www.commoncoresheets.com www.superteacherworksheets.com http://www.learnalberta.ca/content/me5l/html/math5.html www.frontrowed.com At practice kiddos work on the practice assignment at their desks after the lesson. This is usually a worksheet that students work on to continue the learning they just had. (West group starts here first since they are the advanced group. They get an assignment before the lesson.) I have a game for each skill. I usually keep the same game for one week so that I only have to explain it once. Some games are differentiated and some games are not. We may play a game from the current unit or we may play a game from a previous unit to review skills. I play around with a couple of different activities for Fast Facts and what you do will depend on the availability of technology in your building. If you have tech, keep reading, if not, scroll down. For those with tech I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Prodigy! It is AMAZING! My kids beg me to play it and they even go home, call each other, and play online! This is a computer program that allows you to choose the standards, assign quizzes, and it grades it for you. The kids love it because it lets them create a wizard avatar and they go around a magical world battling and earning coins and pets! It’s free unless parents want to pay for their kiddos to be able to “win” more things. Some have purchased it but most have not. I have also had students use www.xtramath.org for math facts. I highly recommend this site. We use it for homework now instead. Before Prodigy I would have recommended www.frontrowed.com This site is AMAZING! It gives pretests for all CCSS standards and builds a program for each student! If you do not have technology, We create these Fact Folders. We create them at the beginning of the year and use them for Fast Finishers. Watch this ten second video. You can pause if you need to! I really hope this helps give you some ideas for Math Rotations! If you want the already created board, check it out by clicking the pic below! Have a great year!
