Attendance Data Monthly Collection Sheets {Dog-Themed}

$4.00

Help your students stay accountable for their school attendance. This dog-themed attendance data collection helps your students track their attendance throughout the entire school year.

Attendance can be an issue in the classroom, thus affecting student achievement. This data sheet will help your students track and reflect on their own attendance. By collecting this data, it opens more doors for students to set goals for themselves as well as see the relationship between their presence at school and their academic success.

The data sheets can be used as part of their Morning Work routine or as a Weekly Update. In our classrooms, this became a part of their data folders that were presented to parents at Student-Led Conferences. This was effective as well for parents to see their child’s attendance in a visual model.

This might also be helpful identifying students with attendance issues or to recognize students who have perfect attendance.

The data collection sheets can be printed front to back or you could shrink them down and have two on the front page and two on the back. Each day, students shade in with a colored pencil to show they are present. They can either leave absent days blank or shade in with a different color. I suggest you define the colors! You might also shade in days where there is no school black to avoid any confusion. How you have students do this is completely up to you! There are a variety of possibilities.

This product has been updated with new graphics and fonts as of August 5, 2015! Check out the preview up top!

This product includes 44 words chosen based on the
4th Grade Next Generation Life Science Standards. These cards were used for the following units:

Heredity & Learning, Food Chains, Life Cycles, Plant and Animal Reproduction, & Seasonal Changes

I have used these vocabulary words in my classroom on my Science bulletin board in order to help support student learning. Each slide or page is 8.5x11 and includes two cards/words on each page.

In my classroom, I cut the cards out and then glued onto construction paper (green). To help make the cards last longer, I highly recommend laminating. The following words are included in this product. I would love to hear feedback if you feel any other words should be included.

learned behavior
instinct
heredity
inherited characteristic

Place Value Practice-The Power of 10 (Notebook Charts & Practice)

$3.50

What's included?

Place Value Chart through Hundred Millions- (2 Versions) This half sheet could be used as a reference chart for students in their math journal to help with identifying the value of a number and how our place value system works. This chart labels the Ones Period, Thousands Period, and Millions Period. This could be color coded by using colored pencils to help students identify the different periods. This visual seemed to help students SEE the periods. You can see how we glued the chart in our notebooks to the right. We glued only part of the page and then folded over where the millions period is located. Below this chart, we wrote examples of the 3 different forms of numbers (Word, Standard, & Expanded).

The Power of 10 Notebook Chart (Ones through Hundred Millions)- This chart is a visual for students’ Math Journals to show an example of how our number system works, the idea that when you move through place value each digit is 10 times larger than the digit to the right. Additionally, the chart shows a picture of base ten blocks including a large stack of 10 thousands blocks. This was eye opening for my students to deepen their understanding of the base ten concept. (Included as a Notebook Chart & Full Page in case you wanted to use it in your math center.)

The Power of 10 Chart (Hundredths through Millions)- I teach 4th grade and teach place value at the beginning of the year and decimals later on in the year. I used this chart later on in the year to help build on prior knowledge of the place value system. This chart is similar to the one above, except to include decimals and only goes up through millions. (Included as a Notebook Chart & Full Page in case you wanted to use it in your math center.)

The Power of 10 Place Value Practice- This practice (2 pages front and back) offers varying word problems and scenarios that will allow students to practice working with the charts and apply their knowledge about place value. You could use this page to teach, partner practice, independent work, or all of the above, depending on your students’ needs. The answer key is included.

Place Value Practice Chart- This chart can be used in students’ notebooks to practice working with numbers and finding the value of a digit.
