Therapy Dog Door Signs – Keep Your Classroom Calm & Organized 🐶🚪 A therapy dog in school is wonderful—but clear communication makes it even better! When a therapy dog is part of your school, it’s important that everyone—students, teachers, and visitors—knows how to interact appropriately. Sometimes the dog is available for visits, sometimes resting, and other times they need a quiet space to recharge. Instead of constantly reminding students when it’s okay to interact, these removable door signs do the work for you! With simple, easy-to-read messages, these signs help set clear expectations so that students respect the therapy dog’s needs while still enjoying all the benefits of having one at school. 🐾 Why These Signs Are Helpful for Any Therapy Dog Program ✔ Prevents classroom disruptions – No more students knocking or entering at the wrong time. ✔ Helps students learn respect – Teaches kids to recognize when the therapy dog needs rest. ✔ Perfect for schools, counseling offices, and classrooms – Works anywhere a school therapy dog is present. ✔ Easy to switch – The signs are removable, so you can update them as needed throughout the day. ✔ Kid-friendly design – Simple words and visuals make it easy for even young students to understand. 📌 What’s Included? 📜 A Set of Printable Therapy Dog Door Signs 🐶 "Therapy Dog Inside – Please Enter Quietly" 🐶 "Therapy Dog Resting – Do Not Disturb" 🐶 "Therapy Dog on a Break – Will Be Back Soon" ✔ Clear and student-friendly wording ✔ Easy-to-print format for flexible use 💡 How to Use These Signs in Your School 📍 Print & laminate for durability.

Reading Comprehension - Spiders - Creepy Crawlies or Masterpieces?

Spiders, scientifically known as "arachnids," are fascinating to many people, especially kids. And there are so many different kinds. I learned a lot while creating this reading comprehension activities pack. Kids will read the article (link provided to the article inside product) and answer the questions. Many of the questions are fill in the blank, some are multiple choice, some true/false. There are also multiple essay question, writing prompts. And a bonus section for motivated students to look at what the Bible says about living things. Students will be given the opportunity to choose which side they are on regarding evolution vs creation, without judgment. They will be required to research and support the side they choose in their essays. Answer keys are included for the objective questions. The product is simple: 31 questions, including multiple choice, true/false, plus two short writing prompt type questions, one of which is partly subjective, but requires a thoughtful answer. Extra credit questions are included. 33 vocabulary words - can be used to increase student comprehension, increase scientific vocabulary, and can be used for alphabetizing and/or spelling tests. 8 Bible verse references - Bible as literature is an allowed subject in the public schools. Also, just looking up verses and drawing your own conclusions should align with standards. This activity is optional, of course. One bonus activity for students to write their thoughts on the 8 Bible verses. Two essay questions, one considered a "challenge." Can be used for extra motivated students or students who are trying to improve their grade. Of course, any writing a student does will build your writing fluency, especially when writing is done in a variety of fields, including, science, history, literature, etc. Answer keys for objective questions. My products are never grade specific, because students are at different levels even when they are at he same grade level in school. Probably 4th through high school would be the most appropriate. Product is downloadable, printable pdf.
