Jungle Trek Writing Challenge | Geography, Conservation & Wildlife!

Jungle Trek Writing Challenge | Geography, Conservation & Wildlife!
ELA, Writing, Creative Writing, Grammar, Grade 2, 3, 4, 5, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

Getting kids to enjoy writing during the early elementary years is key. One way we can do that is to tie in their interests to the writing process. Jungles are one of the most biodiverse areas on our planet! Let's get your 2nd-5th graders exploring different jungles around the world, consider the companions on their trek, something surprising that happened, and a feature of jungle conservation they'll incorporate into their writing. Including the appropriate sequence of events, as well as a conflict is key. Thinking about the way we think is a foundational skill for growing the executive functions our kiddos will use in the editing process. For this reason, a short checklist has been included at the end of page 4 so that learners can begin to go back and check their work. This key skill in developing healthy executive functioning is intentionally made visible to students to prompt ownership over the quality of their writing. STANDARDS: Meets CCSS Writing standards for grades 2-5. Don't forget to check out the Chef's Toolbox, Superhero's Toolbox, and Astronaut's Toolbox activities for more fun! These activities can be used with a whole class in addition to the writing challenge printable. This printable is optimal for 2nd-5th graders who enjoy learning about space and demonstrating their knowledge of it. By using the included matrix to choose the setting, challenge, and characters in their story, they'll use the freedom afforded them to create something they love. *Note, some learners may require a basic explanation of what stocks, investments, and savings accounts are. BONUS: Take advantage of the 4 extension activity ideas included in this printable. These activities will take their writing beyond the page and bring it to life in STEAM-supported outlets. What you'll get: a 4 page PDF including instructions, extension activity ideas, and 3 student pages. One of these pages is simply writing space for you to print off as many copies as you need based on the amount your students are writing. You'll also find the editing checklist to prompt students to edit their own work for spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.

Getting kids to enjoy writing during the early elementary years is key. One way we can do that is to tie in their interests to the writing process.

To use, just print out your selected sheets in either colored or black-and-white paper as needed and distribute amongst your pupils. An answer key is included with every set purchased, enabling effortless assessment and feedback provision. Versatility in Application Though primarily targeted at classroom instruction during lessons about number bonds, the Number Bonds Worksheets hold a flexibility in application at its core that makes them equally useful as extra work for early finishers or additional practice materials.

This recurring process teaches beginning mathematicians effectively about this concept while providing continuous reinforcement once understood fully. These effective tools even complement other learning resources such as: Bingo games focused on number bonds, Matching games related to fractions, Skip-counting bingo, Times table board games .

IMPORTANCE OF THE PRACTICE OF GRAPHOMOTRICITY IN CHILDREN: --As is known, graphomotor skills are those set of skills and aptitudes that will allow the child to develop legible writing in the future. These skills consist of the child's ability to control the movement of the pencil to produce well-formed and precise strokes on the paper. --This is why graphomotor skills will also involve eye-hand coordination, which will allow the child to copy letters and words effectively. --Graphomotor skills bring multiple benefits because this activity stimulates and develops multiple cerebral and neuronal connections in the brain. In this way, children who exercise graphomotor skills will have greater activity in the areas of the brain related to cognition and language. -- In addition to everything, graphomotor skills will have a very positive impact on the child's self-esteem because by learning to write legibly and effectively, children will feel more capable and self-confident, which will later allow them to learn new skills and develop in different areas of life.

Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders is a program that equips students with decoding tools (phonograms, blends, phonics rules, pronunciation rules, word endings and syllable dividing examples) to enable students to become successful, independent readers. Phonics Strategies makes learning to read fun by using diversification to hold the student’s interest with hands-on activities, listening skills, phonics games, phonics poems, flipbooks, and worksheets. Part 1 of Phonics Strategies for 2nd Graders is a 221-page PDF that focuses on 25 Vc phonograms (chunks) and words ending in -le syllables (ble, ple, dle, tle, etc.) Part 1 also introduces Silent E's and uses hands-on activities to experience how a short-vowel Vc chunk becomes a long-vowel phonogram when Silent E is added. There are ten Nonsense Word Challenge Sheets where students practice less common consonant blends and digraphs. The rule of doubling the consonant of a Vc chunk when adding a word ending beginning with a vowel is emphasized throughout the units through examples and worksheets. Students learn how recognizing Vc chunks can help them to divide longer words into syllables. The PDF zip-file includes 5 Chunk Reviews that can be used as assessment tools; Mentor Notes, tips and suggestions; 5 Phonogram Memory/Match Games; 5 Parent Letters (for using materials as homework); Pronunciation Rules (Soft C, Double Vowels, ir-er-ur); Answer Keys; and Listening Skills challenges. The Phonics Strategies series are a mixture of serious phonics concepts and educational fun.
