Life as an American Slave Interactive Stations

(0)
This series of Life as a Slave Stations are designed to humanize the people who were slaves as much as possible. Students often learn about the Civil War and the existence of slavery, but not about the daily life of the people who were slaves. The six stations are designed to help bridge the gap. The six stations focus on: 1. A picture book station 2. Listening to Songs of Slavery 3. Examining the Food and Clothes of Slaves 4. Studying Photographs of Slavery 5. Learning about life on a plantation 6. The Problems of Freedom These stations use primary and secondary source materials and are appropriate for students as young as 5th grade. Students will spend time examining the materials at each station and then as a group, write a response to a focus question. All needed materials are included, but you may need to log on to a few websites before beginning. The needs of ESL (English as a Second Language) students have also been addressed. Accommodations Include: Word Banks Group Work/discussion Multiple Intelligences Scaffolding of Recording Sheets WIDA Standards in Student Friendly language Rubrics

Kindness Elves: A New Christmas Tradition

(0)
This Christmas Elves unit is designed to help students understand the true meaning of Christmas and spread a message that lasts all year! The premise of this Christmas Elves unit is that the Christmas Kindness Elves will come each day to the classroom or home with different acts of kindness as well as the supplies (if needed). Each night the Christmas Elves will return to the North Pole to think of another act of kindness and to refresh their supplies. There are twenty four unique Christmas Elves activities included in this unit, enough to take you through twenty four days. Have your children or students name your Christmas Kindness Elves. Place the Christmas Kindness Elves in a different place around your home or classroom each day. Complete the act of kindness the elves left either together at home or at school, or assign it as homework (when appropriate and fun). The activities the Christmas Elves leave can be done in any order and have versions appropriate for home or classroom. You may choose to print out the Christmas Elves tags or print off a page of blank tags and write the message yourself. Writing papers and lists of supplies (when needed) are included. Christmas Kindness Elves activities are most appropriate for children who can read and write on their own, but may be adapted for younger children.

Personal Student Dictionary

Are you bombarded every day with students asking you to spell the same words over and over again? Have students take charge of their spelling and writing with this personal student dictionary! This personal student dictionary will help students improve their spelling, reading and writing skills. When a student asks you to spell a word, have them write it down in their personal dictionary. The word will now be “theirs”! Already included in this personal student dictionary are Fountas and Pinnell sight words as well as Dolche sight words. I like having students highlight the sight words as they become secure in reading them. These are also great references for older grades or ELL students! *Student Cover *a page for every letter complete with cute clip art *sight words *spaces for students to add their own words An extra lined sheet is included at the end of this personal student dictionary so that you can double side the pages for extra writing space. To make this dictionary last all year, print the cover on colourful card stock or paper or use a three hole punch and keep in pronged report folders.
