There is also a PowerPoint to help demonstrate how the scientific method process works - with differentiated student templates for students to follow along. In the second section, students are engineers and their task is to use the engineering design process to invent a candy bar. In the last project, students use the psychology of color to create a candy bar wrapper. This section contains a PowerPoint on the Psychology of Color. All three projects/labs can be done individually or in groups. This is an engaging way to teach NGSS - as it uses topics students can relate to. • NGSS Save the Cacao Plant - Middle School Standards LS3.A, LS3.B, developing and using models, LS2.4. • NGSS Engineering: Middle School ET-S1.1 and ET-S1.2 • National Art Standards - Anchor Standard - 2.3.7A for middle school The student pages are template based and include a lesson on the scientific method NGSS-style.

This is a template for students to outline, storyboard and write their own Novella or Novel. This is a differentiated unit that is engaging and LOVED by all students. Included is a CCSS matrix for grades 4 through 12 – as it is fully adaptable. Also included is a completed template so you can walk you students through the process! 41-pages in all. This is great for whole class Common Core writing work, for early finishers or broken down into centers. This is a template-based lesson designed for students to either work through independently or be guided through, depending upon the grade level you teach and the particular levels of your students. The end product will be an outline for a novel, novella or long short story. The project can result in actual written novels or may be used as the end product. Over the years, my students have enjoyed publishing their work in real book form. This is easily done by students and is Common Core Standards based!! Students create a pdf of their work and we use the pdf to publish them. The resulting books are professional looking, there are no set up costs and students can purchase their work for only a few dollars. My students love this! I have even compiled shorter work into one document and published anthologies. If you are working with a group of students at varying levels, it is helpful to begin the lesson in guided fashion and then let students fade off to write when they are individually comfortable doing so. After the templates are completed, have student write their masterpieces!! The Elements and Before You Begin sections should be discussed/taught using active participation techniques. I find it helpful to walk through the entire template with struggling learners and create a group novel together. Another way to use the template: This is a wonderful, standards-based project for individuals, Gifted or advanced, who finish their work quickly and like to be challenged.

Sight Word “Go Fish” and Concentration These are engaging versions of Go Fish! and Concentration that use Dolch Sight Words rather than numbers for these fun and engaging games. The decks of cards are Dolch lists. This packet includes: Pre-K -40 words – 160 card deck K – 52 words -204 card deck 1st Grade – 41 words 204 card deck Go Fish First!

(Avery 5271 Business Card template also works and makes cutting easier!) Laminate for durability. Each player gets five cards. If you are dealt four of a kind, or get four of a kind during game play, those cards are removed from your hand, and you get a point. Moving clockwise, players take turns asking a specific player for a given word card: “Do you have any “the”s? The person with the most packs of four at the end of the game wins. *Option: If you want to put backs on the cards – the last page can be used to copy the backside of each set. *Note: Mix and match the cards any way you wish. Some of the sets are large – break them up but be mindful of needing to keep “packs” of four together. The font is KG Behind These Hazel Eyes. I have paid for a license; however, since you are using this resource for your class and are printing the Word version – you may download the font for free. I chose this particular font because the “a”s are: a and easier for students to read. Concentration Rules Use the same cards as for Go Fish! Game Set Up: 1. Shuffle, or mix up, the cards well 2. Place each card face down in rows and columns Game Play 1. Each player takes a turn by turning two cards over. 2. If the cards match, then the player picks up the cards and keeps them 3.

This is a print-and-go learning center or whole class set for the “an” word family. It includes: • -an phonics read and color booklet – “Stan and Dan Tan in a Pan” • A set of “an” cards for Phonics Go Fish! • Two separate Readers Theater scripts – at two levels • Cards may also be used for “an” Concentration Learning word families (also known as phonograms) helps students read in “chunks”. Reading in “chucks” allows students to recognize different word patterns – or sections of a word, such as “an”, rather than having to sound out each letter. For example, the –an family includes play, say, stay, etc. Why are word families important? 1. When children begin to read, they sound out every letter. This breaks up the flow of the words, is extremely slow, and makes it difficult for them to transcend to reading comprehension. By learning families of words, children are able to read familiar patterns of letters quickly and fluently. 2. As children progress from simple to more complex words, the patterns, or chunks – continue to help them to decipher longer words. 3. Word families also help with spelling – as students are able to recognize spelling patterns and apply these to other words of the same family.

These are Word Family – Short Vowel Flowers. I’ve been using them to teach students to read for years. They’re perfect for using at home or in a classroom learning center! What are word families? Word families are groups of words that share the same ending. For example, the words cat, fat, and mat all belong to the “-at” word family. The worlds ball, fall and tall belong to the "-all" word family. Why teach reading with word families? 1) The English language is complicated. Word families help beginning readers find patterns within words. 2) Knowing word families makes sounding out words easier because instead of laboriously sounding out each letter, the reader reads the first sound and attaches it to the familiar word family name. When reading the word cat -- rather than reading /k/ /a/ /t/, the child learns to read /k/ /at/.
