Tribute to: 9/11, Veteran's Day & Memorial Day

Tribute to: 9/11, Veteran's Day & Memorial Day
Social Studies, History, History: USA, Grade 5, 6, 7,

If you're seeking a way to pay tribute to our fallen soldiers, this Tribute to: 9/11, Veteran's Day & Memorial Day resource is designed to evoke thoughtful contemplation among 5-7th graders about those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. The core of Tribute to: 9/11, Veteran's Day & Memorial Day lies in a PBL 9/11 Web Quest and Photo Journalism activity , fostering collaboration within challenging, exciting, and enjoyable group projects. It is a genuine opportunity for your class to grasp the genuine essence of heroism. John and Joe Vigiano, two heroic brothers - one a police detective, the other a firefighter - lost their lives in the tragedy of 9/11. Though I never had the chance to meet them, their connection to my family through my cousin's wife holds a special place in my heart. As a tribute to them and all who endured great losses on that fateful day, I dedicate this 9/11 activity . The Veteran's Day & Memorial Day activities hold a profound personal significance to me, as they center around a caring, honest, and courageous young man I once taught in 6th grade. Capt. Andrew Pedersen Keel, my former student, made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan, and these activities honor his memory. Above all, my deepest hope is for your students to develop empathy towards those who fought and laid down their lives to safeguard our freedom. Through my Tribute to: 9/11, Veteran's Day & Memorial Day, I aspire to instill a sense of appreciation and understanding in your students for the sacrifices made by these brave individuals. ✔COMMON CORE STANDARDS ✔W.5.1a,W.5.1c,W.5.1d,W.5.2,W.5.2a,W.5.2d,W.5.2e,WHST.6-8.2, WHST.6-8.2a,WHST.6-8.2c, WHST.6-8.2d,WHST.6-8.2e,WHST.6-8.2f,WHST.6-8.4 AS EDUCATORS, we know: ✎ It’s important for our students to remember our veterans. ✎ We don’t want their sacrifices to be forgotten. ✎ Many kids have family members who served. ✎ It’s important to make it real for the students. ✎ PBL helps students better understand the content and retain it longer than the traditional approach. ✎ Collaborating with others helps build character. ✎ PBL helps students better understand the content and retain it longer than the traditional approach. ✎ Collaborating with others helps build character. ✎THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET IN 9/11, VETERAN'S DAY & MEMORIAL DAY Bundle✎ ✎911 Collaborative Group Webquest (Photo Journalists) ✎Dedication to the Vigiano Brothers ✎Complete Lesson Plans ✎Note Sheets for 4 Roles ✎Web Pages with Images and Information ✎5W Chart ✎Graphic Organizer ✎Design a Plaque Honoring a First Responder ✎Design a Plaque Honoring a Victim ✎Grading Rubrics ✎Veterans Day & Memorial Day ✎Dedication to Capt.

Yep, he was a scooch, a typical boy who questioned everything and wanted to know why we had to do this or that. Obviously, he was a challenge, however, I love kids like that. By the same token, he was an honor student who studied hard and played even harder. In addition, he was a true friend who truly cared about his classmates. Without a doubt, it's exceedingly important to help your students show kindness, empathy and compassion since you never know what the future will bring. Always take the time to get to know them, and let them know how much you care. Oh, in case you’re wondering, I’m still in touch with Andrew's mother, as we've become close friends. She is now a Gold Star mom andinvolved in many things to keep his memory alive.

Give A Dog A Word Bone Game

Give A Dog A Word Bone Game
ELA, Language Development, Phonics, Kindergarten, Preschool, Grade 1, Activities, Games

Read the word on the bone. If you get it right feed it to the dog. Woof! Woof! A fun game to reinforce reading. Introducing you to our brand new ‘Mission Spelling Zero’ scheme. Help your child/ren to take their first steps in reading, writing and spelling, with this exciting structured scheme. How to prepare Cut out the dog‘s head, body and tail. Glue the head and body together and attach to a box (shoebox). Stick the tail to the other end of the box, so it can be seen just above the box. How to play: Muddle up and divide the bones equally between the number of children playing. Each child takes a turn to read a word from their pile. If they read the word correctly, everyone shouts “WOOF! WOOF! WOOF!” and the child slots it through the dogs mouth. However, if they read the word incorrectly, everyone shouts “Grrrr....” and the word bone has to go to the bottom of the child’s pile. The first child to feed all their bones to the dog is the winner.

Black Out and Found Poetry Activity for High School Creative Writing

Black Out and Found Poetry Activity for High School Creative Writing
ELA, Writing, Not Grade Specific, Activities

Add some fun to your creative writing unit or provide enrichment options for excelling students with black-out and found poems. These classic poem types are more hands-on than traditional pen-on-paper writing, making them a great way to bust up boring classroom routines! Black-out and found poetry are highly flexible activities . These can be "filler" activities for half-days or can take days to finish. I usually give my students one day for each poem type plus a day to make sure both are finished. Then, I hang all of them up in the hallway for an easy, beautiful display of student work. The great thing about black-out and found poetry activities is that they can be "shrunk down" or "stretched out" to suit your time needs! Keep these on hand for weeks before breaks or during testing!

The Constitution is a Living Document

The Constitution is a Living Document
Social Studies, Government, Grade 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12,

"The Constitution is a Living Document" is a comprehensive project designed to assess students’ knowledge and understanding of Articles 1, 2, and 3, as well as 7 amendments in several ways. The project is divided into 3 sections. Section 1 covers the Constitution (Articles 1, 2, and 3) and includes an essay and analyzing news articles. Section 2 covers the Amendments and includes an essay and analyzing news articles. Section 3 includes a conclusion essay and the bibliography. Students will apply their understanding of Articles 1, 2, and 3 as well as certain amendments by finding an article about an event in the United States (either online or from a newspaper), summarizing the article, and then analyzing how this article connects to the Constitution. There are also some extra credit opportunities. Although this project stands on its own after students have studied both the Constitution and the Bill of Rights either by using a textbook or other materials, it is an excellent summative assessment for my lessons on Articles 1, 2, and 3 and The Bill of Rights Unit, both of which are sold in my store. This summative project is perfect for students in Grades 7 through 12 and can be easily modified based on grade level and can be used for all students: ELL, RSP, Gate, and regular. The most important thing about this project is how students truly internalize how the Constitution is not just some old stuffy document but really is alive in our lives and protects our rights and our democracy. I have had students come back to me when they are in high school to tell me how much they got out of this project. I have also had several students tell me they helped their immigrant parents pass the citizenship test. They were able to teach their parents about our government. My favorite is how many 8th-grade students tell me they are now interested in current events and regularly follow the news! This project is part of my unit: “Our Living Consitution” which is designed using the Into, Through, and Beyond model of lesson planning. This project can be taught independently, but it is an excellent summative assessment for all my lessons on the Constitution in my unit. The lessons in the Constitution unit can be used independently or as a supplement to what you already teach or as a whole. Here is a summary of what is in the unit: You might be interested in my other Constitution-related lessons, many of which can be found in my bundle: Our Living Constitution.

A beautiful set of 26 alphabet flashcards complete with my own hand-painted watercolor wildlife illustrations. Each card features the upper case, lower case, and the animal's name in either print or pre-cursive handwriting font - Ideal for children to use as copy work. To create a tactile finished item I highly recommend printing onto high-quality paper, I like to use watercolor paper as this also allows the children to add their own paintings to the pages they create and means that every piece looks and feels like an original painting.
