Congress Simulation Activity
Social Studies, Government, Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, Activities
Hello and thank you so much for purchasing my Congressional Simulation Activity! I have used this activity to supplement instruction on the nature of congress and lawmaking in the United States. I have found students find this activity fun and engaging, but it also serves as a great touch point to explain concepts like deal-making, political strategy, party politics, and party whips. I hope you, the teacher, enjoy it, too! For the activity, each student will represent the Senator of a state. For simplicity, I loosely correlated each state to their politics today, and tried to make just as many “red” states as “blue” states. There are 8 issues, 4 that are supposed to represent issues that are traditionally Republican stances, and 4 that typically represent Democrat stances. You can elect how much you wish to wade into the issues themselves. This isn’t designed to be a “debate” activity, but could easily be adapted. First, I recommend running through the instructions slides and taking questions. Explain that the object of the game is to get re-elected, and to do that, students will need to work to pass or defeat these 8 bills (depending on the preferences of their citizens)

Space - Bell Ringers, Class Warm-Ups, and Exit Tickets
Science, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Space, Grade 9, 10, Activities
This Space unit comes with 23 days’ worth of materials that relate directly to your unit. This activity bundle is geared towards a grade 7-9 science class but will also work well for an advanced grade 5-6 or a lower-level grade 10-11 class. 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 This resource is set up for a space class and includes the topics listed below. Please have a look at the list of topics This resource covers the following topics - Space - An Introduction - Our Solar System - The Life and Death of Stars - The Seasons and Earth's Tilt - The Moon - Eclipse - Solar and Lunar - Galaxies, Other Objects and the Universe - The Immensity of the Universe - Life in outer space - how humans meet their needs 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. 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

ELA, Language Development, Pre-Reading, Phonics, Kindergarten, Preschool, Centers, Activities
5-in-1 Alphabet Cards for Letter of the Week, Phonics, Literacy Centers and More! These 5-in-1 cards are a helpful addition to any preschool or kindergarten phonics program and can be used all year long! There are six images for every letter of the alphabet (even X and Z!). The name of each image is typed below it with the initial consonant left as a blank. The images are cute, colourful, and fun. Lots of numbers, animals, and transportation words are provided. Also, some more challenging and unique words are included. How to Use: These cards can be used in a variety of ways in your classroom. Here are a few ideas: 1) To use the cards as a mystery book: print all the pages for one letter and staple them together as a book. “Read” the book to the class, and ask them to guess the letter of the week. 2) To save paper, you could show the slides on a projector or interactive whiteboard instead of printing a paper book. 3) When printed in colour, they make great posters for your classroom. Choose your favourite from each letter and hang them as your alphabet! 4) Print some images from each letter (4 or 6 per page) to use as flashcards to help reinforce sounds. If you laminate them, they could be a centre in your classroom. 5) Finally, if you print two cards from each letter, you can use them for a challenging memory matching game! Grades to Use With: These cards are designed for students in preschool through kindergarten who are learning early phonics letter sounds. These cards focus on initial sounds only. What's Included: 159 Pages in ready-to-print PDF Format: Title Page Instructions Mystery Book Title Page 6 pages for each of the 26 letters of the alphabet

Spring Two Step Equation Maze March Activity
Math, Algebra, Grade 6, 7, 8, Activities, Centers, Games, Worksheets & Printables
This spring-themed maze is one of those activities students actually enjoy while practicing two-step equations. Instead of just solving problems on a worksheet, they move through a path by finding the correct answers, which keeps them focused much longer than usual. I created this to give middle school students extra practice with solving linear equations without it feeling repetitive. They’ll work with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as they go from one step to the next. The setup is simple. Students solve an equation, look for their answer, and follow the maze to the next problem. If they make a mistake, they usually notice it quickly because they end up stuck, which helps them self-correct. It works well for grades 6–9, especially for review lessons, early finishers, or even as a quick activity before a test. I’ve also used it in small groups and turned it into a timed challenge, which students tend to like. There are two versions included, so you can choose an easier or slightly more challenging option depending on your class. This makes it easier to use with mixed ability levels. Answer keys are included with the full solutions, so students can check their work or you can go over it together. The file is a printable PDF (9 pages), ready to use with no prep.
