Wow! It is "THAT" time of year! You know... the dreaded state assessments. Take the time to really examine the goals that students can all make for themselves as they investigate their strong points, their areas that need focus, and the steps they need to take to achieve the goals they establish. This is the perfect culminating organizer for student data notebooks. Additionally, there are desk cards (nine to a page) that allow students a constant reminder about the steps they are currently taking to achieve their goal. As well, these cards might also be used to create shorter, incremental goals if need be to meet the larger goal: SUCCESS on the STATE TEST!

Perhaps most importantly in today's information age, thinking skills are viewed as crucial for educated persons to cope with a rapidly changing world. Many educators believe that specific knowledge will not be as important to tomorrow's workers and citizens as the ability to learn and make sense of new information. —D. Gough, 1991 With that being said, it is critical for students to learn strategies to employ when thinking through a scenario, a problem, a situation, a research project, etc. This set of mini-posters can be used as a year long resource in any classroom to equip students with eight strategies that students should learn to use each and every day as they strive to be successful in school.

This unit is a literature study of The Greedy Triangle. In this unit, there are eight teaching and learning activities with opportunities for extending the literature study with eight additional activities. In the reading and math activities, there are approximately sixteen Common Core State Standards addressed and covered in the teaching and learning sequence. There are questions written at the remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating levels of thinking to formatively assess comprehension. There is also a quiz at the end of the literature study to help gauge success in mastering math geometry vocabulary. Your students will absolutely love this literature study!

Your students will certainly enjoy participating in this activity converting temperatures using different rooms in Santa's home at the North Pole as well as additional areas on Santa's property such as the garage and the state-of-the-art toy-making facility. Specifically, the students will utilize pictures from Santa’s home at the North Pole, such as the living area, the kitchen area, the outside of the front of the home, the garage, the kitchen where a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies are in the oven, the toy-making facility, and the study where Santa creates and engineers all of his next wonderful creations for deserving children. While investigating each of the rooms and areas utilized, a scenario is given as to the temperature of the room. It is given in either Celsius or Fahrenheit degrees.Your students are asked to make the conversion, specifically if the temperature is given in Fahrenheit degrees, then they are asked to convert the temperature into a Celsius measurement and vice versa. Students are asked to show their work, justify or explain their answer, and then conclude with their final answer. Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year!

This resource is a must have for giving a solid description of the three tiers of instruction. It is full of infographics that aid in the explanation for a refresher session on each tier. The training slides progress from the programs, methodologies, and strategies that we specifically use at tier one to ensure high quality instruction to the intensiveness of tier III and the possibility of progressing to a child-study through the MET team. Next, an in-depth look is given to tier two and specific strategies that help to intervene in specific deficits. Then, a look at tier III is investigated and discussed. This training is meant to take the participant through each tier looking at strategies, decision-making skills, and timelines for best practice. This training can be used in a focused faculty meeting, a professional development session, or in a smaller professional learning community as a specific focus group strengthens their process in Response to Intervention!
