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!

ELA Task Cards 6th Grade Bottomless Bundle | Google Slides & Forms

Prefixes and Suffixes Task Cards | Distance Learning | Google Slides and Forms

$4.00

*A DIGITAL OPTION HAS BEEN INCLUDED FOR GOOGLE SLIDES AND GOOGLE FORMS/GOOGLE CLASSROOM* Be sure to re-download! There are directions and links inside the pdf.

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.

This resource is a unique way to get your students warmed up in the morning. The math is aligned to 5th Grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review. If you teach 6th grade, this might also work for you depending on your students’ needs.

Each month contains 4-5 (except for August) weeks of math morning work, which will have a theme around the season, national holidays, or events associated with that particular month. The morning work is focused on Math with a sprinkle of Science, a pinch of grammar, and a dash of Daily/Weekly Updates to keep your students engaged and open doors for conversations. At the beginning of the year, the math will be mostly 4th Grade review and increase in difficulty as the year goes on. However, the morning work is intended to be a review to keep students engaged, build confidence, and complete with independence.

Each week follows the same routine. The focus for each day was created based on fundamental needs I noticed in my own classroom: 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.

Base Ten Tuesday- All about the Base of our Number System. These problems are centered around our number system and place value.

Wordless Wednesday- No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words.

Throwback Thursday- Review Day! Other days may offer a review problem, but Thursdays are typically focused on review. I also added problems from other standards such as Measurement, Data, and Geometry. There is also a short paragraph in which students Box the Verbs, Circle the adjectives, and Underline the nouns. There may also be a short sentence or paragraph in which students edit the sentence or answer a question after reading a short paragraph related to Social Studies or Science.

Fraction Fun Friday- Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! There is always a need to review fractions. By keeping it short, sweet and including a fun personal question, this may help build your students’ confidence in fractions while also keeping it fresh.

About this resource:

This growing bundle will contain sets of 4-5 weeks of morning work for August-June. For August, the math is focused on a review of 5th grade skills that lead up to 6th grade standards. The math is aligned to 6th Grade Common Core Standards and meant to be a review.

Months already included:

August - available now

September - available now

October - available now

November - available now

December - available now

January - available now

February - available now

March - available now

April - available now

May - available now

June - available now

Each week follows the same routine and structure.

Mathematician Monday- Multiplication & Division, Whole Numbers & Decimals, Expressions & Equations, Problem-Solving, Ratios & Rates
Number System Tuesday: Whole Numbers & Decimals, Rational Numbers, Statistics & Probability
Wordless Wednesday: No Word Problems! Students have 3 problems without words. Multiplication & Division, Expressions & Equations,
Throwback Thursday: Relationships Between Variables, Geometry, Graphs, Coordinate Planes, Units of Measure
Fraction Friday: Nothing says Fun Friday like Fractions! Fractions, Percent

I created this resource in my own 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.

I have also found several other benefits from this morning work routine:

1)Routine!-My students knew exactly what to do when they come in the classroom. Also, if I needed a few extra minutes due to meetings or other housekeeping duties, I knew my students were spending that time working on essential math skills, not just “busy work.” The morning work is meant to be short and sweet, skill practice, plus engaging.

2)Short & Sweet- There are only a few problems so it shouldn’t take longer than 10 minutes. This will also let you know if students are still having difficulty with a certain skill.

3)Fewer Copies- Only one sheet of paper for the whole week! (Copy front and back)

4)A Weekly Grade-My students know this and do not want to do the work for homework or have a poor grade. This helped get them started right away in the morning. I also go over the problems each morning and allowed students to fix their work before turning it in. In my opinion, this is beneficial because it keeps the students engaged as we go over it, ESPECIALLY if they had difficulty with it. This was also beneficial for students because if they paid attention and “added on to their thinking,” they can earn a good grade that will be added weekly. For students that already struggle, this is confidence building and motivating.

Digital

The Math Daily Review comes as a printable pdf and in a digital format. The digital format includes Google Slides and self-grading Google Forms. The links for both of these are on a separate

Google Slides: The Google Slides are organized into a weekly presentation. Each day is on one slide. Some teachers like to separate out the slides to share them on a daily basis. You are able to do this if you don't want to give students a whole week at a time.

Google Forms: With the Google Forms, each day has its own Google Form.
