Like all teachers, this is the time of the year where I am searching high and low to find some of the "best" activities for my students to complete during those first few days. You know exactly what I'm talking about; time fillers, introductory activities, procedure lessons, etc. Here's a few of my favorites from Teaching Lane:
Raise your hand if you like to teach procedures... Yep, me either! These Back to School Procedure Task Cards are just what the doctor ordered! They help you reinforce your procedures through the use of movement. The students will be engaged as they role play, explain, and help each other complete certain tasks that are sure to drive your specific classroom procedures home! Take a look!
If you need some "new" for your Open House/Meet the Teacher night, look no further! This packet has 28 different forms just for you, your students, and their parents! It includes everything from a parent sheet to give you info about their child to a students seating request slip! There's even a list of tips and ideas for how you can use the different forms that are included!
This activity is a differentiated. You can use all three or just pick the activity that you need for your particular students in order to help teach them the Bill of Rights. This product can be used individually or in groups. The best part? It makes a nice display once it is completed! Who doesn't like to kill two birds with one stone?!
This product was LOVED in my 5th grade classroom last year! I have had several people purchase this product and leave feedback as well. It will be the perfect addition to your Civil War Unit. The task cards can be used as a review, quiz, etc. An answer key is included as well.
This is one of my newer products. I can't wait to try it out in my own classroom, and I look forward to creating more centers just like this one! This is a self-checking center because students choose their answer by marking it with a paper clip or clothes pin. Once they are finished with the card, they can simply flip it over to see if their answers are correct or not. Easy, right? This product includes 10 different cards! This is a wonderful way to expose your students to new vocabulary.
This product is very similar to a few others in my store in that it is a puzzle format. I used the Synonym Puzzle Center last year in my classroom, and the students were more than engaged! I was amazed at how hard they worked to complete each puzzle! This product comes with five puzzles. Be sure to check out my store to find more products like this one! I have Orders of Operations, Synonyms, and Equivalent Fractions. More are coming soon!

This product is similar to the Clip and Check Center above; however, it is in a different format, AND it is differentiated! If you are responsible for teaching similes and metaphors, this is the product for you! Students simply read the sentence, decide if it is a simile, metaphor, or neither (on the higher level), then flip over to check their answers! An idea sheet is also included to help you take this center a step further for your higher achievers!
I hope this quick product overview of some of my favorites has helped you find just what you're looking for to use in your classroom this school year! As always, if you have any questions, or suggestions, please leave a comment or email me at selainewhite5@gmail.com.
Thanks for stopping by!
