About this Product

This product came as a result of my students’ love of the biography series “Who Was…?” If you have not looked into this series, I recommend that you do! They are a fun, easy read that offers an engaging way for students to learn about historical figures and important people. Although this product is based on this series, this product could be used for any biography book or project. This is a nice way to integrate Reading, Writing, and Social Studies.

How I Used this Product

In my 3rd Grade classroom, I used multiple copies of the same book or books and paired students in partnerships. In my school, we have a 30 minute Reading Intervention Block. I began this project with students who were not pulled out or working with me in small groups during this time. This was a nice way for students to work independently or in partnerships. It also created an extension for what they could already do as readers. Plus, they had so much fun! I let them work on this project in their partnerships. This held several benefits. Many students who were not pulled out or working in small groups tend to be higher level students OR students who have untapped potential. Allowing them to work on a project like this can extend their learning, as well as find new ways to enjoy reading. While other students had special groups or went to see other teachers, it was nice for these students to have their own project too.

The Poster Page is a template that you could use for students to turn in with the essay or you could use this as a planning page and then have students create a larger poster on their own. I assigned it as homework and was pleasantly surprised at what my students turned in. I saw a wonderful increase in engagement by students who had shown little motivation or enthusiasm for reading. You can see the photos in the preview or in the product itself. Please know I updated the pages after the photos were taken with more detail and provided the poster template. Good luck to you with this project! If you have any questions, please contact me!

This resource is a part of ELA Task Cards Grades 3-5 Bottomless Bundle

These task cards are a great practice for students to practice using prefixes and suffixes within context to determine word meanings. Many of these words are drawn from Science or Social Studies topics to help integrate content areas into your ELA Block. I created these task cards for my 4th Graders, but they could be used in Grades 3-5. Check out the preview to see more information and a picture of how I used them in my classroom.

What's included?

*36 Task Cards to Practice Prefixes and Suffixes- These task cards are perfect for a literacy center, small group activities, or review. Each task card contains 2-3 sentences that uses the words in context. Though there are context clues for each word, the question requires students to understand the meaning of the prefix or suffix. I chose many of the words based on words that 3rd-5th graders may see in not only common literature, but also words from Science and some Social Studies topics.

Answer Sheet & Answer Key: The Answer Key provides the word that was used on the card as well as the answer. This will help you see not just an answer on the answer key, but which word was used. This can help you identify words that students might have struggled with or organizational purposes.

Prefixes and Suffixes Notebook Anchor Charts - Additionally, I have included 2 charts for students' notebooks for Prefixes and Suffixes. These charts come from my Grammar & Vocabulary Notebook Charts resource. Students can use the charts to help them identify the meaning of the prefix or suffix. You can find this resource by clicking HERE!

I hope you enjoy this resource as much as we did! As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please email me at help@theliteracyloft.com.

4th Grade ELA Morning Work September Printable + Google Slides and Forms

Math Morning Work 4th Grade Bundle | Printable | Google Slides and Forms

$69.00 $44.00 Save 36%

Imagine your 4th grade students coming to class and getting right to their Math morning work. Great for: bell ringer worksheets, developing multiplication, place value, fractions AND setting up Math routines! ✨ A specific theme for EACH day makes it quick and easy for you to build a foundation in your classroom! ✨

Do your 4th graders tend to forget previously taught concepts? There are certain Math skills (multiplication, division, place value, fractions) that students need to review repeatedly (multiplication!!!). This is why I created the Math Morning Work. The morning work covers the 4th-grade Math standards in a routine structure that makes it fun and engaging for students.

❤️ You will love this morning work because it:
✨ establishes an effective routine
✨ consistently covers critical content
✨ engages your students and makes learning FUN
✨ requires absolutely NO PREP
✨ Short & Sweet, BUT Rigorous ✨

This morning work will help you consistently focus on critical content and build a routine for you and your students. Because the morning work is short and sweet but a rigorous daily review, it really maximizes those first few minutes so that you can set a peacefully productive tone for your day.

✅ This yearlong bundle of morning work includes:

11 months of morning work (August - June)
4-5 weeks for each month
daily themes
printable pdfs (one week per page copied front to back)
Google Slides (each week is in one presentation)
Google Forms (self-grading)

⛅️ Daily Themes ⛅️

Daily themes help you consistently cover critical content, keep your students engaged, and create easy routines.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my classroom of 4th graders: Multiplication & Division, Number Sense, & Fractions (including Fractions & Decimals) While these are not the only areas addressed, they are the main focus. Each week follows the same routine and structure.

✏️ Multiplication Monday- Problems are centered around multiplication and division. At the beginning of the year, problems are focused on the previous grade level to build confidence. These include: multiplication with basic facts, multiplicative comparisons, two-digit multiplication, three-digit multiplication, four-digit multiplication, division basic facts, two-digit divisors, three-digit divisors, factors and multiples, and properties of multiplication.

✏️ Base Ten Tuesday: These problems are centered around our number system and place value. Skills include: place value, comparing and ordering numbers, rounding, addition and subtraction.

✏️Wordless Wednesday: No word problems! Students have 3 problems without words. These problems include all four operations: multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction, plus expressions and equations.

✏️ Throwback Thursday: Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays may review standards and skills from a previous grade level. Measurement, Data, and Geometry standards are also reviewed on Thursday. Skills include: area and perimeter, 2-d shapes, converting units of measurement, time, money, symmetry.

✏️ Fraction Fun Friday: Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. Keeping it short and including high-interest topics will help your students build confidence in a tricky concept. Your fourth graders will consistently review: identifying fractions, equivalent fractions, comparing fractions, mixed numbers, adding and subtracting fractions, multiplying fractions.

I created this resource in my 4th grade classroom because I saw a need to continuously review these key areas. By following this same structure each week, students know what to expect while they are also building their confidence in these essential math areas.

✅ Looking for a way to assess the skills covered?

The weekly assessments are a companion for the morning work and align directly with the skills covered throughout the week. These are sold separately or in the morning work + weekly assessment bundle.

❤️ Here's what other teachers are saying about the morning work:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I already have and use the Morning Sunshine for ELA and love it. I also use the assessments that go with it. I knew I would love the Math Morning Sunshine as well, and I was right. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to purchase it!! Thank you!!" - Allison M.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I love using this morning work! I teach two classes of math so it is not always completed in the morning! It is such a great quick review of old and new concepts that students are constantly growing in their confidence in math! They learn that it is OKAY to not know how to do every problem, ask questions, and make educated guesses!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really saw that this product was worth it after the pandemic. We had students come back to school in person in January and had not been doing a daily review. The students that had been in school since August using this resource daily showed a higher understanding of math concepts and were more apt to trying new concepts they'd never been taught. - Mary Helen C.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "I love this resource! I have used it for several years with my students. It is a great mix of spiral review from previous grades combined with 4th grade skills. I love that it keeps information fresh, so they can't forget it. It also makes it perfect for morning work. My students know what day it is, so they're able to automatically get started on their sheet." - Stacie S.

$4.00

🛑 Are you a member of the TLL Membership? These materials are already included. If you are not a member, click here to learn more. The TLL Membership gives you an all-access pass to hundreds of ELA resources for teachers in Grades 3-5.

About the Product:

This is an informational newspaper-style text fun to use around the week before Winter Break and can be used over the course of a few days. Bingo sheets are included, which have questions from the entire newspaper. Students read the informational text and then answer questions from the “newspaper” in the bingo grid. The bingo grid comes in 26 different versions. Having each student use a different version of the answer grid will allow you to reinforce the content of the informational text by playing a game of bingo. The questions range from vocabulary, finding key details, and digging for text evidence.

Content of the Newspaper
The content of the "newspaper" has a variety of holiday-themed information and includes the following. Please know that various celebrations around the world are briefly touched on as little snippets of each region or culture's celebration. This is not a comprehensive, detailed account of each culture/region's holiday. The goal of the content is to build some general historical knowledge of celebrations around the world. The following topics are included:

North Pole: Land of the Midnight Sun
The Legend of Santa Claus
Celebrations Around the World (Italy, Germany, Russia, Australia, England, Canada, Ireland, Brazil, Mexico, Netherlands, Sweden)
History of Hanukkah
What is Kwanzaa?

How to Play: The first page is an answer key, which can be used to play the game of bingo. Cut up each square, place in a Ziploc bag or container of your choice and call out questions. Students must answer the question correctly and have 5 in a row. Up, down, or diagonally. Students can use counters, peppermints, or other holiday treats to keep track of the questions called.

We hope you enjoy this festive activity as much as we did!!! :)

This resource is a part of ELA Task Cards Grades 3-5 Bottomless Bundle

Why you and your students will LOVE this product...

Are you struggling to fit it all in? As an intermediate teacher, this is my constant struggle. At a time when standardized testing can seem to dominate the curriculum, I am always trying to find a way to integrate Science and Social Studies into my ELA Block. My 4th graders love learning about Science and we can't seem to get enough of it throughout the year with such a heavy push for the Reading, Writing, and Math. My students also LOVE task cards because they are not simply another worksheet or passage with comprehension questions. They are short and quick to help them practice a skill. This resource marries these two loves and creates a cross-curricular activity. As a busy teacher, you get more bang for your buck! Science and Reading? Win-win.

These task cards are perfect for a literacy center, small group activities, or review. Each task card contains 2-3 sentences that uses the words in context.

What does this resource include?

*36 Text Structure Task Cards with a short paragraph that explains a scientific concept. Students determine the text structure used in the paragraph

*Answer Sheet & Answer Key: The Answer Key provides the word that was used on the card as well as the answer.

*Text Structure Notebook Anchor Charts- Additionally, I have included 5 charts for students' notebooks for Text Structure. These charts come from my Reading Notebook Anchor Charts (Nonfiction) resource. Students can use the charts to help them identify the Text Structure.
