Circle Time Sentence Starters
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Not Grade Specific, Centers, Activities
Facilitating rich student sharing during community circle time builds essential communication skills. Yet prompting deep back-and-forth discussion versus one-word responses from young children tests even veteran teachers. These sentence starter cards involve every student in conversational bonding and insight sharing through thoughtfully designed, developmentally appropriate question cues. The set includes 48 double-sided language prompt cards covering getting-to-know you topics like family, pets, friends, feelings, strengths/challenges and more. Sample starters include: My favorite thing to do with my family is... When someone gives me a hug I feel... My favorite place to be is... I get scared when... My friends like that I... Something I want to learn more about is... I feel proud when I... Open sentence shapes spark diverse responses while structured phrasing still scaffolds early narrators. Children gain confidence feeding off peers’ modeled shares first. Teachers can target specific emotional, social or academic domains needing growth through selected prompts. Cards also work one-on-one for children hesitant to share in groups. Far beyond boring roll-call questions, these lively discussion catalysts infuse community vibes, self-esteem and listening skills into circle time learning. Students open up insighting their innermost thoughts, joys, worries and wonderings! These cards can be laminated for use time and time again. They are perfect for getting a circle time going at the beginning or rounding it off with a discussion at the end.

Insects Number Cards
Math, Early Math, Numbers, Kindergarten, Preschool, Activities, Worksheets & Printables, Flashcards
These insect themed number cards are perfect for students who are learning with an insect theme. They make the perfect tool for students to learn the letters of the number. What is Included: This set includes one number card and one number word card for all numbers up to 20. Ways to Use the Cards: Play a matching game by matching the numbers to their number words. Attach a paper clip to a number card and use a magnetic fishing pole to "catch" the numbers for a fun fishing game. Use a sand or salt tray for students to practice writing the numbers or number words on each card. Have students find the numbers that you have hidden around the room for a fun number hunt. Place the number cards in numerical order. Create a pocket char game where you place the cards on a pocket chart and hide a picture behind one of the numbers. The students will guess which number the hidden picture is behind. Add objects so students can count to the number on the card. When to Use: Math Center - Place the cards in a math center for students to match independently or with a partner. Morning Tubs or Baskets - Place the cards in a morning bin for students to work on while their classmates arrive to class. Small Group Activities - The teacher can pull aside a small group of students who need extra practice identifying numbers and number words. These insect number cards are a great activity for students to practice number recognition. They are a low prep activity for teachers to prepare for students. Simply print, cut apart and laminate for durability. These cards can be stored in a task box for easy set up, clean up, and storage. Skills Assessed: These cards, depending on the materials added, can assess both number recognition and number word recognition.

Chemistry Introduction - Bell Ringers, Class Warm-Ups, and Exit Tickets
Science, Chemistry, Grade 9, 10, Activities
This Chemistry Introduction unit comes with at least 20 days’ worth of materials that relate directly to your unit. They can be used at the start of a class in the form of a bell ringer/class warm-up or at the end of class as an exit ticket. Would you like to see me walk through my Bell Ringer activity ? I created a video that overviews how they work and how you can use them effectively in your classroom in only 5 minutes per day. Click here to have a look. This resource is set up for an introductory chemistry class and includes the topics listed below. Please have a look at the list of topics. These are meant to be used each day, however, the question periods are directly associated with topic lessons, so they are done on days that follow the completion of a lesson. For example, after you finish your lesson, you’d give your students the questions associated with the ecosystems lesson. Additional days will utilize the Quotes and Videos sections. There are two key reasons why this daily activity works: 1) It encourages your students to review their notes on a nightly basis so they’re ready for class. 2) It creates a routine in your classroom that encourages your student to arrive and get settled for class quickly and quietly. Once we’re done, the students are ready for class and have already gotten their brains working and thinking science. This resource covers the following topics Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes Density Particle Theory and Classification of Matter Atomic Theory - The History of the Atom Atomic Structure and Notation The Periodic Table Ions Chemical Symbols, Formulas and Compounds Introduction The Activities 1) Questions: Question types - Fill in the blanks - Short answer - Opinion - Drawing - Mix of above ● Everything will be included in your PowerPoint ● All questions relate directly to the previous lesson and work to test your students’ understanding ● If students are absent, they know they need to get caught up while away ● This process encourages students to keep up with the material and review their notes nightly 2) Quotes The quotes come from individuals and relate directly to the overarching topic. On these days, I have students read the quote and write down what they feel it means and/or the underlying message. 3) Videos The videos are an excellent way to settle your class down quickly and easily. Each video is selected specifically because it’s interesting and relevant to students. Each video can be accessed directly from the slide. Simply click the video image while in slideshow mode and the video will automatically open in your browser. Process ● Each week, I hand out the week’s [Topic Name] - Student Worksheet ○ You can make this activity completely digital by making the sheet available online and have them submit it there as well ● As soon as the bell rings to start class, I hand the sheets out to my students. Once the sheets are out, I start the 4-minute timer. If students are late, they miss out on their time. ● Once the timer finishes, the students flip over their papers and pass them to the front. Structure Each day’s activities, unless otherwise stated, are to be done individually and without notes. However, depending on the ability level of your students, you may want to have them work in pairs and/or use their notes. Marking We all have enough marking already and the last thing we want to do is add to our pile. However, I’ve found that this process is so streamlined and efficient that I’m easily able to mark these while my students are working in class or copying down notes. Typically, I mark only the Questions section. However, if I’m busy or don’t have time in class, I won’t and that’s OK. The point of this isn’t to make your job harder but to help your students stay on track and keep focused. Additionally, I’ll mark one of the other sections (Quote or Video) at least every other week. Each day’s mark is out of 5 but since there aren’t always 5 questions (usually it’s somewhere between 1-3), I base my mark on their understanding of what I’ve asked them to complete. This can come across as subjective, but I’ve found it gives me an excellent indication of their knowledge and keeping it consistent makes things better for everyone. Keep in mind that the outline above describes how I use them in my class. Feel free to change it up however you like (including the questions as the entire thing is completely editable). Other teachers I’ve spoken to only utilize the questions following a lesson or only mark the questions following a lesson and for the other days, show the relevant videos but don’t require their students to submit anything. A few people only mark one submission per week while others mark everything. It’s completely up to you. Whether you use Questions, Quotes, or Videos in any given lesson, your goal is to create a routine, promote understanding, and get your students thinking about science as soon as they enter your class. If you have any questions, please send me an email - devon@teachwithfergy.com
