Keep organized and brighten your room at the same time with these beautiful, brightly colored FISH DOODLE PATTERN trolley labels
These labels are created to fit the 1- 12 drawer rolling carts that many teachers use to keep organized. In the US they are available from Michael’s and in Australia they can be bought in Kmart or Spotlight stores.
There are two styles, one with rectangular labels, the other to use with those drawers that are angled slightly at the sides. Included in the pack are 3 differerent font styles so that you can use the set that best suits your aged group. The fonts that I have used are included in the pack. If you don’t have them installed on your computer, I have provided a link to the stores should you want to buy them.
APL Big Mama
APL Heart Eyes
AG Taco Tuesday
I included some already made labels (These are just the labels that I used and thought I needed), but I have included a set of editable labels in each design. I have also included the fonts that I used in the following slide.
HOW TO USE
PDF Version: Simply download the file, print using a colored printer, cut and laminate for durability. Printing on cardstock also helps to make them last longer. Attach your signs to the drawers using double sided tape, glue gun or blutak. In some trolley designs, you may need to put a hole in the sign for the drawer knob to be reattached after the sign has been applied.
HOW TO EDIT THE POWERPOINT VERSION
These made to measure labels are EDITABLE which means you can type in your desired text to suit your individual organisational needs. You will need to have Microsoft Powerpoint installed on your computer to open and edit this file.
Once unzipped from the download file, open the PowerPoint and in order to use the same font it must be installed onto your machine. A set of blanks is provided for you to create and entire set using the font of your choice. Simply duplicate the slides and edit the text boxes with your desired fonts and labels. You can bold your font, increase or decrease the size, underline… the freedom is yours.
When finished, print the slides that you need, or save all as jpeg files and then print each individually as needed
This is for use by one teacher in one classroom. If you would like to share with your colleagues, PLEASE purchase a multiple license. Thank you :)

These engaging, visual writing prompts with pictures will get even your most reluctant writer writing!
These fun writing prompts are no prep, just print and go.
-These images are scaffolded by using the students senses to add interest to their writing
Sensory details include sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste.
-Writers employ the five senses to engage a reader’s interest. If you want your writing to jump off the page, then bring your reader into the world you are creating.
-When describing a past event, try and remember what you saw, heard, touched, smelled, and tasted, then incorporate that into your writing.
-Sensory details are used in any great story, literary or not. Think about your favourite movie or video game. What types of sounds and images are used?
What do your favorite characters taste, smell, and touch?
-Without sensory details, stories would fail to come to life.
-When sensory details are used, your readers can personally experience whatever you’re trying to describe, reminding them of their own experiences, giving your writing a universal feel. A universal quality is conveyed when the writer can personally connect with the readers.
-Another note about sensory details: there is no one sense that’s more important than another. It all depends on the scene you’re trying to create.
However, imagery, the sight sense, is a common feature in vivid writing.
-These are perfect for Writer’s Workshop, Work on Writing, Writing Centers, Substitute Teachers, and Fast Finishers.
-These quirky picture prompts are a great way to let the kiddos choose what they want to write about, while also helping to spark their imaginations!
-They are perfect for those “I don’t know what to write about!” kiddos.
They are also great for Work on Writing during your Daily 5 time, writing centers, fast finishers, writing homework, or leaving for a substitute teacher!

Engage your students in practicing factors, multiples, prime, and composite numbers with this fun card game with engaging characters and bright colors
Do your students need support with consolidation and practising their multiplication and factorisation skills? This fun and engaging game is perfect for math centres and as a fast finishing game for your class.
This version features some crazy gremlins and creatures which are appealing to a range of age groups.
SETTING UP THE CARDS
1.Duplicate the background slide, and print your number cards back to back with the striped background. This is the set of factor cards.
2.Create the Target cards, by printing the targets back to back as you did with the number cards.
3.Laminate the cards for durability- You may choose to print off and laminate the playing mats.
HOW TO PLAY
For 2-4 players
1.Shuffle the 7 factor cards (numbers 1-12), and deal 7 cards to each player. Place the rest of the deck face down on the table.
2.Shuffle the target cards and turn over the top card revealing the target number.
3.Let’s say the target card is 36, the player to the left of the dealer will look at the cards in their hand and see if any of them are a factor of 36.
4.If that player has a factor they will place it next to the target card, for instance, if it the player has a 4, they will say 9x4=36, and then the play will go to the next person to the left and continue until a player does not have a card that is a factor of the target number. That person then has to pick up ALL of the cards that have already been played.
5.The next player will turn over the next target card from the top of the pile, and play will continue.
6.The winner is the person who manages to get rid of all of the cards in their hand first.
7.Each player MUST say the multiplication face when playing their card.
An affordable and versatile resource for any classroom.

What is a thinkboard?
It is a graphic organiser or tool to assist students to make connections across/ within and between different representations of knowledge. The more connections that are made:
•the better the understanding of the mathematics
•the more likely it will be that the mathematical knowledge is retained
•and easier it should be to apply the mathematics
The focus of the think board is on finding
the connections between the different
ways of representing a problem.
How to use them
•Arrange students into groups of four, placed around the Think Board’s four sections. Provide the students with one of the sections as a starting point and give them time to discuss the idea with their neighbours before deciding on what to record.
•You can also work on a Think Board as a whole class or individually.
Assessment
•Think Boards promote discussion – look for mathematical language used.
•Assess individual student’s understanding of a mathematical idea – look at all sections of the
•Think Board individually to find strengths and weaknesses

Set of colored and black and white game boards for your classroom kit. Each board game incorporates a spinner which can be used with a paper clip and a thumb tack with numbers 1-6 (If you don’t have dice handy)
This has been incredibly popular with my younger students, who have created some fun games using these blank boards.
I have used them with mini rubbers as playing pieces and the game rules that even the younger students came up with, were really amazing.
I have extended this activity by using it as a literacy task where students have been asked to write a procedural text ie. how to play the game.

How many players?

A Social Narrative is an effective way to teach children how to navigate a new situation, such as starting school or preschool.
Social Narratives can help children understand what to expect at school or preschool and they can be used to support orientation, which is particularly useful when children and families are not able to be on-site.
Teaching children how to ask a question only once is a common social skill that needs to be frequently addressed.
As educators we always will say things like, “wait’ or “You asked that just a moment ago.”, however we need to explicitly teach these skills.
This story can be used to help children to develop skills so that they can learn to function and integrate with other children in the classroom and other social settings.
