FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Lobsters Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) with a short sensory “visualize” opener Subject: Life Science (Animals) / Reading (Informational Text) Primary Topic: Lobster body parts, molting, habitat, and life cycle Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): L What This Lesson Teaches Best Basic lobster classification and habitat: lobsters are crustaceans , related to crabs and shrimp, living on the ocean floor in crevices or burrows . How lobster body parts help them survive: two different “job” claws , antennae with sensors, eyes on stalks , and a strong tail that can flick to shoot backward. Molting as a growth process: a lobster’s exoskeleton can’t stretch, so it molts , leaving it soft and unprotected until the new shell hardens. Day vs. night behavior: hiding among rocks during the day and crawling out at night to hunt or scavenge . Early life stages: females carry thousands of eggs on their swimmerets , and tiny hatchlings float near the surface at first. Learning Goals Identify what kind of animal a lobster is and where it lives, using text evidence. Describe the two different claws and explain what each one does. Explain why lobsters molt and what happens to the lobster during and after molting. Compare what lobsters do during the day versus at night, based on the passage. Describe one way lobsters move or escape danger using their tail. Describe how baby lobsters begin life and what females do with eggs. Key Vocabulary From the Text crustacean — an animal with a hard outer shell. crevice — a narrow crack or small opening in rock. exoskeleton — a hard outer shell that protects the body. molt — shed an old outer covering so a new one grows. scavenge — search for and eat leftover or dead food. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.

Kelso's Choices Battle Brackets-A Fun SEL Game
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Special Education Needs (SEN), Social Skills, Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Games, Activities
Basketball brackets can be used for anything-not just basketball! In this SEL product, students will get excited about participating in a Kelso's Choices bracket battle! Kelso's Choices are 9 ways to solve small problems. There are 5 different Kelso's Choices bracket templates and one blank one. One of the templates is nonverbal versus verbal choices. This is fully editable as it is a Google Slide Presentation. There are 24 different scenarios for students to contemplate and choose Kelso's Choices for. This can be played as a whole class or small group. To play, you give each group a certain scenario. Then they begin with discussing one of the 2 competitors among the 8 competitor choices. Students keep track of the votes and the winner moves on to the semi-final round (4 choices), then the winners of that, move on to the final round. You could even have all small groups talk about the same scenario and the whole class does a final vote for the winner. It is up to you how you wish to play the game . Some of the scenarios are; someone will not let you play, someone cut in front of you, someone teased you, someone called you a name, someone made fun of what you are wearing, someone accused you of cheating, etc. You can also edit the scenarios to make it work for your groups or class. The key to keeping this engaging and a higher-order activity is to have students say which choice they would use and why. Students can share a time they used that particular choice, when a choice works or does not work, or the best conflicts for each choice. Students can also share a time when a particular choice did not work and that is why they did not vote for it or share a time when a particular choice worked and that is why they voted for it. Have fun with this engaging resource!

Bank Account Board Game: A Fun, Financial Literacy Lesson for Addition, Subtraction, or Integer Practice (Grades 3-7) Do you want to give your students real world math practice for addition and subtraction up to 4 digits? Do you want to show them how the math they learn in the classroom is helpful in everyday life? Do you want to find a way to have them practice loads of math without even noticing? Then this financial literacy board game is perfect for you! How to Use: Print the two page handout double-sided for each student. Go through the bank account vocabulary together as a class. Then give your students time to try to match the vocabulary words to the clues. Next, talk about what actions help your bank balance and what actions hurt it, and try to think of more examples as a class. Now you are ready for the game! Print a game board for each group of 2-4 students, have six-sided dice, and small objects to use as counters. The game’s main objective is to educate students about financial literacy concepts such as spending (withdrawing) and saving (depositing) money within the context of a bank account. Each child takes turns rolling a six-sided die while using counters on the board. Students start with a $300 bank balance, and each turn leads them to a realistic scenario that increases or decreases their balance. I encourage students to use a scrap piece of paper to keep a running tally of their balance throughout the game. Although rare, some sequences of turns can result in negative balances. If this occurs, you can help your students use integers to calculate a negative balance OR create a rule that students can not have a balance below zero, so they can not complete that action and must miss. a turn. Grades to Use With: This game is perfect for students in grades 3-7 who are practicing adding and subtracting with numbers into the thousands. It can be used as a review for this math skill or in conjunction with a financial literacy unit. What's Included: 4 Page PDF: Teacher Instructions 2 Page Lesson/Worksheet 1 Page Game Board

Finger puppets - The Romans- People of the Past
Social Studies, First Peoples (Native), Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
Finger puppets: The Romans - Bringing the past to life - People in history This material provides you with templates for making finger puppets on the subject of the Romans. The finger puppets are a varied and interactive addition to the topic of people in history. They help pupils to discover and understand historical content in a creative and playful way. The finger puppets are suitable for science and history lessons in grades 3, grades 4, grades 5 and grades 6. The finger puppet templates are available in two versions: one in color and one in black and white. The students can design the black and white templates themselves, for example. With the colored templates , you can quickly create a finger puppet set that you can give to the students to play with. To store it in the binder, the students can make a bag. For the finger puppet show, I have also added suitable backdrops. Uses The finger puppets can be used in various ways in the classroom to internalize what they have learned and deepen their understanding or promote their creativity. For example: Role plays: The students act out scenes from the respective historical context. Dialogues: The students create dialogues between different characters of the respective era with the finger puppets. Inventing stories: The students develop their own stories with the finger puppets and develop the factual topics as a background. Presentations: The students prepare presentations about the respective epoch, using the finger puppets as a visual aid. Group work: Students can work in groups and create scenes or stories together with the finger puppets. This promotes collaboration and social learning. You can find many more of my finger puppets at TeachSimple. For example, finger puppets for biblical stories, fairy tales or people in history. Best regards Your Die Relitante Doreen Blumhagen
