Use this snakes and ladders game to help teach Sight Words in a fun and engaging way. It is the classic Snakes and ladders game but with a twist. You must say the word you land on and gain a point. You get a bonus total of points for getting to the finish first. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. Based on how the game works, you might want team up stronger students to help verify saying words and keep the game going. Included is a how to play handout, a blank board template (add your own words), prefilled sight word boards; 2 pre-primer boards, 3 primer boards, 2 first grade boards, 2 second grade boards and 2 third grade boards. There is also a tally chart for 2 and 3 players to keep track of scores. Each allows for multiple games on one sheet. Don’t have dice? Print, fold and glue the provided dice. It simple to use, pick your board and print (or edit in Google Slides to your liking with your own words), print and play.

Whether you are in a 1 to 1 classroom or have access to Chromebooks, laptops or iPads, this resource is a great way to have your students create a comic. Go paperless with this digital editable Google Slides. This resource includes 15 different blank comic book layouts. You can have the students print out their comic book once they finalize their digital version, as the resource is set to 8.5 x 11 paper size. Or you can pre-print the blank layouts with the included PDF and have the students draw on a paper copy. The choice is yours! WHY USE COMIC STRIPS? Another option for projects Allows for a lot of creativity Uses a familiar format Can incorporate both visual and written information Improve narrative writing skills It’s fun! INTEGRATING IT INTO YOUR CLASSROOM Illustrate a concept from class, such as a property of science Retell a story or a portion of a story they have read for class Re-enact a famous scene from history Students can tell about themselves with an autobiographical comic. Students can make a comic that uses vocabulary words for that week. If your students are using the digital version, when possible use images with transparency to avoid blocking the background. Images that are in the PNG format are the best as they are generally transparent.

This is a fun activity for simple interest and balance. Students calculate simple interest and balance based on three cars that they choose from a list of 6. The students will then have to look at the data and choose only one car to purchase. They then complete a car loan application based on their chosen car. This resource comes in a standard size 8.5 x 11 printable PDF as well as an editable Google Slide. This means you can quickly change the numbers as well as cars for differentiated instruction. You can print it out and provide the activity to your students, or allow them to make a copy and fill it in digitally. If the students are using this product digitally, have them double click any of the lines (where they need to fill in information) and they can quickly write remove the line and write in their information. This makes for a great distance learning activity.

There is no one right way to conduct literacy circles. The approach may change from class to class, teacher to teacher, student to student and sometimes-even day to day. What Are Literacy Circles? • Small groups of students meet to discuss reading passages (poems, short stories, novels, fiction or nonfiction). • The discussion is student directed and student centered. • The discussion is guided by the students’ response to what they have read. • The circles allow students to engage in critical thinking and reflection through reading, discussing and responding to literature. • Students are enthusiastic, motivated and actively involved. This package includes • How to use it with Google Docs • About Literacy Circles • 10 different handouts This package includes the following handouts: • Discuss • Connect • Summarize • Vocabulary • Illustrate • Fact Finder • Timeline • Connection • Conflicts • Character Traits Pick and choose the literacy circle handouts you want to use based on your students readings and needs. Since this package comes in an editable Google Doc, you can also make changes where you feel is necessary. Print them out or use them digitally on Google Docs!

This resource is a great way to engage students during the last 15 days of school. Each day, show them one of these 8.5" x 11" writing prompts.
