Set up a calming corner with trace and breathe supplies including page protectors and a binder for pattern storage. When students visit the space, they can pick a design to help them refocus before transitioning back to work. The simple trace and breathe technique gives children a portable, effective way to manage their feelings.

Guided Reading Level N - The Power of the Team (with Lesson Plan)

This Guided Reading Book - The Power of the Team (Level N) with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: The Power of the Team Genre: Nonfiction (informational) Subject: SEL / Physical Education / Reading Primary Topic: Teamwork skills that help teams succeed Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): N What This Book Teaches Best Teamwork and shared goals: Teamwork happens when people work together to reach a common goal and play “for the whole group.” Communication in fast-paced play: Players use loud voices or hand signals to share information so everyone knows what to do next. Trust and cooperation through passing: Passing the ball (or puck) makes it harder for the other team to take it and shows teammates trust each other. Support and encouragement: Teammates help each other after mistakes and keep spirits high when things get difficult. Planning, practice, and coordination: Teams use strategy, practice together, and coordinate timing (like passing a relay baton) to perform smoothly. Learning Goals Students will explain what teamwork is and what it helps a team reach, using details from the text. Students will describe how communication helps a team during a fast-paced game. Students will explain why passing is important and what it shows about trust on a team. Students will describe ways teammates support one another with encouragement when someone struggles or makes a mistake. Students will explain how strategy and practice help a team work “like a single machine.” Students will describe how coordination and shared defense help teams succeed. Key Vocabulary From the Text cooperation — working together to reach a goal. vital — very important. encouragement — kind support that helps someone keep trying. strategy — a plan for the best way to play. coordination — moving and working together at the right time. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: How can working together help a team do better in a sport? Comprehension questions: What does the text say teamwork helps a group of people reach? According to the text, what do players use to share information during a fast-paced game? What does the text say teamwork teaches people how to be in every game they play? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.

Emotions Fan
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Activities
IUnderstanding emotions is a key social-emotional learning goal for young children. When children can identify and label their own feelings and recognize emotions in others, they gain skills that benefit social relationships and self-regulation abilities. This engaging emotions fan activity helps teach children to connect emotional words and facial expressions. The resource includes 15 illustrated fans depicting different emotions. Vivid facial expressions clearly convey the feelings happy, sad, scared, tired, worried, excited, angry, disappointed, silly, jealous, confused, poorly, disgusted, surprised and embarrassed. By matching the facial cues to emotion words, children build their emotional vocabulary and recognition skills. Caregivers can prompt conversations about each feeling, as well as when and why we experience different emotions. Learning about emotions builds self-awareness. Children will gain tools to articulate their own feelings, rather than acting out. The fan pieces also encourage nonverbal children to communicate emotions through visuals. Beyond self-understanding, these materials teach valuable empathy and social skills. Recognizing others' emotions helps foster supportive social relationships. With colorful illustrations and essential vocabulary, this activity engages children in learning about feelings. By linking facial expressions and words, children will gain emotional awareness and language to express themselves. This promotes self-regulation and social-emotional competencies that allow preschool and early elementary students to identify, understand, and navigate emotions effectively.
