My Text Dependent Question resources are the perfect way to get your kiddos back into the text finding the answers to those higher level questions. They are a great way to start prepping those second graders for the following testing year. We use beginning chapter books and challenging novels in our enrichment groups and were looking for ways to go beyond the "in your face" straight forward comprehension questions and to get our students to go deeper. One of the problems we faced with close reads was all the text marking. Here we are able to take a variety of questions and have our students dig through the text but instead of marking up our novels, they are showing their understanding of finding themes, defending their claims, comparing, and analyzing their reading. Each one of our text dependent resources has at least 10 questions which vary in type and complexity. There is a journal cover page if you want to print all the questions off and create a mini-workbook. Or if you would prefer picking and choosing which questions you have that option. Our text dependent questions are ink friendly. All black and white. They are really simplistic and clean. We steered away from too many distracting graphics and focused on the content instead. PLEASE NOTE***This is geared towards a second-third grade classroom but could meet the needs of higher first graders. These are NOT chapter by chapter comprehension questions. @2017 All rights reserved by author. These materials are intended for personal use by a single classroom only.

Do you love Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Do you want something SO fun that your kids will be talking about it all year? Need a parent involvement activity? Then I think you will enjoy Chocolate Tank. No, your kids are not dunking you in a tank of chocolate. Although that does sound fun!! Chocolate Tank is an idea that is based on the TV show Shark Tank. Your kids are going to create their own one-of-a-kind, brand new, never before seen candy. The crazier the better! Their job is to convince Willy Wonka and a few Oompa Loompas that this new candy is so awesome that it HAS to be Wonka's latest creation. Your kids will work on persuasive essays, public speaking, handwriting, and tap into their creativity all at the same time! This can be done in your classroom just with your kiddos or can be used as a parent involvement activity where you invite parents to be your participating "audience" to cheer and encourage your little inventors on. Please be sure to check out my blog post about this to see how I used this activity and inspire you as you plan your own Chocolate Tank! I have everything included in this: * Lesson Plan * Photos with my notes from my Chocolate Tank * Link to my blog to see my kids in action * Parent Invitation letter (bw/color) * Writing graphic organizers (6) * Writing Conference graphic organizer * Parent Sign in Sheet * Inventor Rubric (this is for your panel, should you choose to score your kids on their projects and presentations) * Seating Sings (audience and inventors signs to designate where everyone should sit in color/bw) * Cotton Candy Panel Banner * Bubble Gum Welcome to Chocolate Tank Banner This was so much fun and I think your kiddos will love it as well! This license is for one classroom distribution only. If you wish to share with colleagues and friends, please purchase additional licenses at half off the listing price:) Thank you so much for your download!

Christmas is a fantastic time to work on different types of writing for students: narrative, opinion, informative, etc. This resource will go along perfectly if you are a class that does Elf on a Shelf and even if you don't!

In this resource, all pages are ink friendly. You can print and set up for whole group with the prompt on your SMART board, or set up in a writing journal, or even in a writing center. Each writing prompt has 2 different journal pages with the prompt crisply and cleanly shown at the top and writing lines at the bottom. There are two pages for each day to choose from: one with Christmas themed graphics and one without. I also included small task cards that could be used for a journal or writing center.

Does this sound familiar...you come back from lunch and recess and your plan is to begin your lesson but your students are too chatty and excited to settle and you waste the next ten minutes trying to get them back on track? Or maybe you clean up before special a few minutes too early and you have about five extra minutes before your class needs to leave? Or my favorite, the buses are running late and your administrator announces dismissal will be about ten minutes behind schedule. Soooo....what do you do? Don't waste those few minutes! You can absolutely save your sanity, sneak in a bit more review and enrichment, and engage the class without needing a bunch of supplies. Pull up a task card on the board or read it to your class and have your students practice reading sentences with different types of expression. One of my favorite ways to introduce expressive reading to my students is to read ​The Monster at the End of This Book. ​On some pages I would whisper. Some pages I would shout. Some pages I would use my best Grover imitation. My students loved to echo the sentences in whatever voice I chose. Help your students increase their fluency by practicing oral reading and expressive reading by practicing reading the same sentence using different types of expression based on punctuation. The sentences are simple. These are not paragraphs, just quick sentences to practice reading the same words differently based on punctuation. These task cards are geared towards second graders but could be used for high first graders. Make it F.U.N. Try echo reading in the silliest, scariest voices you can! @2017 All rights reserved by author. These materials are intended for personal use by a single classroom only.

My Magic Tree House Text Dependent Question resources are the perfect way to get your kiddos back into the text finding the answers to those higher level questions. They are a great way to start prepping those second graders for the following testing year. We use the Magic Tree House series in our enrichment groups and were looking for ways to go beyond the "in your face" straight forward comprehension questions and to get our students to go deeper. One of the problems we faced with close reads was all the text marking. Here we are able to take a variety of questions and have our students dig through the text but instead of marking up our novels, they are showing their understanding of finding themes, defending their claims, comparing, and analyzing their reading. Each one of our Magic Tree House text dependent resources has 10 questions which vary in type and complexity. There is a journal cover page if you want to print all the questions off and create a mini-workbook. Or if you would prefer picking and choosing which questions you have that option. Our text dependent questions are ink friendly. All black and white. They are really simplistic and clean. PLEASE NOTE***This is geared towards a second-third grade classroom but could meet the needs of higher first graders. These are NOT chapter by chapter comprehension questions. @2017 All rights reserved by author. These materials are intended for personal use by a single classroom only.

Does this sound familiar...you come back from lunch and recess and your plan is to begin your lesson but your students are too chatty and excited to settle and you waste the next ten minutes trying to get them back on track? Or maybe you clean up before special a few minutes too early and you have about five extra minutes before your class needs to leave? Or my favorite, the buses are running late and your administrator announces dismissal will be about ten minutes behind schedule. Soooo....what do you do? Don't waste those few minutes! You can absolutely save your sanity, sneak in a bit more review and enrichment, and engage the class without needing a bunch of supplies. Pull up a task card on the board or read it to your class and have your students practice reading sentences with different types of expression. One of my favorite ways to introduce expressive reading to my students is to read ​The Monster at the End of This Book. ​On some pages I would whisper. Some pages I would shout. Some pages I would use my best Grover imitation. My students loved to echo the sentences in whatever voice I chose. Help your students increase their fluency by practicing oral reading and expressive reading by practicing reading the same sentence using different types of expression based on punctuation. The sentences are simple. These are not paragraphs, just quick sentences to practice reading the same words differently based on punctuation. These task cards are geared towards second graders but could be used for high first graders. Make it F.U.N. Try echo reading in the silliest, scariest voices you can! @2017 All rights reserved by author. These materials are intended for personal use by a single classroom only.

My Text Dependent Question resources are the perfect way to get your kiddos back into the text finding the answers to those higher level questions. They are a great way to start prepping those second graders for the following testing year. We use beginning chapter books and challenging novels in our enrichment groups and were looking for ways to go beyond the "in your face" straight forward comprehension questions and to get our students to go deeper. One of the problems we faced with close reads was all the text marking. Here we are able to take a variety of questions and have our students dig through the text but instead of marking up our novels, they are showing their understanding of finding themes, defending their claims, comparing, and analyzing their reading. Each one of our text dependent resources has at least 10 questions which vary in type and complexity. There is a journal cover page if you want to print all the questions off and create a mini-workbook. Or if you would prefer picking and choosing which questions you have that option. Our text dependent questions are ink friendly. All black and white. They are really simplistic and clean. We steered away from too many distracting graphics and focused on the content instead.
