Spanish Crossword: Animals of North America - Animales de America del Norte
Foreign Languages, Spanish, Not Grade Specific, Crosswords Puzzles, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables

This crossword has animals of North America in Spanish. After filling the crossword , you will find a hidden message from the grey vertical row! This product is a print-and-go and ready-to-use pdf that includes answers. This resource is created for vocabulary building. This resource is suitable for any student learning Spanish, because the hints are given as pictures, you don’t even have to know these words in English! Some of the words are very basic, such as el zorro or el lobo, some of them are a little bit more difficult such as la zarigüeya. The hidden message in this crossword is: fauna silvestre With Spanish vocabulary, you have to consider if the word is feminine or masculine. In this crossword I’ve solved this issue by printing the definite article ready for the crossword . This makes it easier for younger students to understand the crossword (exactly one letter for each square) while still introducing the gender of each word. In this crossword , there is also a notion that often the article depends on the sex of the animal. Filling the crossword : Students look at the pictures below the crossword . Each picture has a number. When they recognize the word in Spanish, they should write the word into the corresponding horizontal row in the crossword one letter at a time. Don’t forget the accents! This resource is suitable for individual work or small groups. This resource is at its best with students Age 9 or older if Spanish is a foreign language. In that case, students can use some dictionary or translator to support their work For younger students if they have a strong background (For example, Spanish spoken at home etc) There are also other Spanish crosswords like this in my Teach Simple page: https://teachsimple.com/contributor/thebrightestkid

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. These signs will last all year with lamination! 📍 Attach with Velcro or a removable adhesive. This makes it quick and easy to change the sign depending on the therapy dog’s schedule. 📍 Place them at the classroom or office door. Anywhere the therapy dog is working or resting, these signs help students understand what to do. 📍 Let students take responsibility. Assign a student helper to change the sign when needed—it’s a great way to involve them in learning about animal care and respect. Why Teachers Love These Signs ✔ "My students used to walk in loudly, but now they stop and check the sign first!" ✔ "It’s made a big difference—fewer interruptions, and our therapy dog is much calmer." ✔ "I laminated them, and now they’re a daily part of our routine. So helpful!" 🐶 A Simple Solution for a Well-Organized Therapy Dog Program Bringing a therapy dog into a school setting is such a rewarding experience, but a little structure makes it even smoother. These removable therapy dog door signs help set clear expectations so that both students and the therapy dog feel safe and comfortable. 📥 Print them today and make your school’s therapy dog experience even better! 🐾✨ 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know?

Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities Grades KG-12 (13-Book Bundle)
Reading, ELA, Reading Comprehension, Kindergarten, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools, Worksheets, Worksheets & Printables

Guided Reading is a research-based instruction process whereby the teacher works with small grouping of students being equal in a particular reading achievement level. The teacher provides for each reader's development of effective reading competencies. However different than in the earlier days of reading groups, small and temporary groups are flexible and dynamic. The observance and evaluation of the progress of readers are done by teachers on a systematic basis. Thus, grouping and regrouping students is based on the strengths of students and the intense changing needs throughout their reading development. In the 1960s in New Zealand, Guided Reading was developed. It was enhanced over the years after it arrived in the United States thanks to educators like Gay Su Pinnell and Lesley Fountas. In 1996, Fountas & Pinnell published their enormously influential book, Guided Reading: Good First Teaching for All Children (Heinemann). This book changed how reading was taught, and it is still taught today to over a million teachers worldwide. The aim of Guided Reading lessons is to develop effective readers. A set of 13 books is bundled together with all 13 worksheets of the Guided Reading series for grades KG-12. There are lesson plans and different activities for every grade, with the answers in the end section of the worksheet.

The Moral of the Story: Income Inequality in Familiar Tales: An Integrated ELA and Social Studies Lesson

The Moral of the Story: Income Inequality in Familiar Tales: An Integrated ELA and Social Studies Lesson
Social Studies, Life Studies, ELA, Economics, Finance, Reading, Reading Comprehension, Literature, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets

This lesson introduces middle school students to the basic ideas of capitalism and income inequality using familiar stories as reference points. Students will take notes on a handout and consider whether they think it's fair that the 26 richest people on earth have as much money as 3.8 billion other people. They will learn about the moral of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol: Dickens thinks Scrooge is too greedy and that he should share his wealth with others- especially his hard-working clerk, Bob Cratchit. Next, they discover the message in the popular fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk: one could argue the original author of this tale thinks Jack and his mom should not be living in poverty while the giant has piles of gold. Then, they choose a story or novel of their own that addresses these issues and untangle that author’s specific message. Finally, they complete a personal reflection of what they have learned and what they think about equality in society. There are no wrong answers here- some students may think changes should be made, while others may think our system is working well. This is a developmentally-appropriate way to start a discussion about social issues including income inequality, wealth hoarding, progressive taxation, basic income, human rights, and more. It is also a good way to review parts of a story: plot, characters, moral, and theme. Grades to Use With: This lesson is designed for students in the middle years (5-9) and can be used in a social studies or language arts class.
