This is an excellent resource that is useful for covering the topic family tree with your students. There are apple cards depicting multicultural families that your students can have fun with while learning the basic and modern structure of a family. The apple tree mat can be used to build the family unit on and can be placed in a folder in plastic sleeves or laminated for longevity.
The multicultural apple family cards include - African-American, Caucasian (Brunette, Blonde, Red), Latino and Asian. Simply print the cards, laminate and cut the cards apart. Your students will build families with any combination of cards as they wish. The parent and big teen cards can be used to represent other members of the modern family.
Also included are vocabulary cards with a header depicting family words that are bordered in blue, red and black to sort according to gender: male, female and gender neutral words. A colored and black ‘n white “My Family Tree” worksheet is included for students to complete about their own family as well. The multicultural family unit is available as a blank version, for your children to colour in and the apple tree mat is included as a low ink alternative.
Classroom Rules. It is always a good idea to set your class on the right path from day one. It is also a good idea to create the rules with your students. However, I want to share some baseline rules that I believe can transcend any classroom simply because they collectively spell out most of what teachers would want for their classrooms. The following rules are contained in this set:-
We enter our classroom quietly and all lined up.
We leave our classroom quietly and all lined up.
We listen when others are talking, especially our teacher.
We look carefully and follow the directions of our teacher.
We use a quiet voice and tone. We only speak louder when presenting.
We are kind and respectful to our teachers and to each other.
We help keep our classroom clean and tidy at all times..
We always keep our hands and feet to ourselves.
We raise our hands when we have a question or when we need help.
We share with our friends when they are in need.
We work quietly at our desks and do not disturb our neighbors.
We walk carefully in the classroom and hallway.
We always greet our visitors with a smile when they enter our classroom.
I am pretty sure that they cover a wide area. However, if you are in need of additions to this set, let me know through the question and answer tab below..

This set of colorful display posters or visual aids were designed around the holiday song, "The Twelve Days of Christmas", which was first published in 1780. They depict each of the Twelve Days of Christmas in cute and kid-friendly graphics. This is a lovely resource that can be used in a sequencing activity or to simply share this song with your children.
Included in this download are both the COLORED version and a BLACK AND WHITE version for ink economy.
Martin Luther King: Martin Luther King Day: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Kid-Friendly Dreams and Quotes Posters with Cards. This resource is a fantastic investment for the celebration of Dr Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday on January 15th, for Black History Month and for general use any time of year. When I created these posters and quote cards I thought about making this resource meaningfully appropriate for themes that emanate out of Dr King's speeches. Freedom, nonviolence, love, hope, equality and unity are just a few ideas that are suggested in these posters. I also added a kid-friendly touch to some posters to break down Dr' King's messages for the lower elementary students. A writing activity sheet is also included.
This resource contains the following elements:
We are Witnessing an American Dream Posters (11 kid-friendly posters)
24“I Have a Dream” MLK Quotes Posters
24 “I Have a Dream” MLK Quote Cards (half size)
1 set of 2 MLK Writing Sheets (Half Size)

The Real Easter Story is a two-in-one mini book (you get two copies per page) created with images that should appeal to young children. The sentences are simple, however, the vocabulary may pose a challenge to some. Therefore I would recommend that some assistance be given to students. This product comes in black and white only to facilitate easy printing and of course to allow students to color the pages themselves. The pages are set for double sided printing. I also included both a colored and a black and white version of the mini-book cover page for you.
Enjoy!

TIPS: To ensure that every child has an opportunity and responsibility assign two students per job. This also encourages job-sharing or working together as a partnership. You can either designate the jobs to students, have them choose or apply for a position A good idea is to rotate the jobs either daily, weekly, or quarterly, it’s your choice. You can make the transitions easier by having a “training” session by the previous student to help the next student to do the job efficiently.
If you want your students to become responsible while building a community spirit, give them responsibilities. Classroom Jobs are a great way for students to take responsibility for their classroom.
