Once Upon a Crime - ELA Debate Argument Unit

Assign your students to be prosecutors and defenders with their own custom files. Each team has their own responsibilities and will need to craft their argument well to win the judge & jury.

- Students need to support their claims with facts from the movie. Perfect for an argumentative unit!

Sentence Auction|Editing|ELAR|Grammar|FUN LEARNING!

This Sentence Auction Game is the perfect classroom activity to engage students while reinforcing essential grammar skills. In this interactive grammar game, students use fake money to bid on sentences. Some sentences are perfectly correct, while others contain common errors like missing commas, misplaced apostrophes, spelling mistakes, comma splices, subject-verb agreement errors, capitalization errors, and commonly confused words.
Students must identify and correct the mistakes to maximize the value of their sentences. The game ends with a winner declared based on the total value of the sentences they’ve collected.
This sentence editing game is an excellent tool for grammar practice, sentence correction, and peer learning. Ideal for middle school and high school classrooms, it’s a fun way to improve your students' writing and editing skills!

Yamas & Niyamas: Successful Relationships with Self & Others (ages 7-11)
By Lara Hocheiser
In yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas are a moral code of conduct—a guideline on how to live. Together the Yamas and Niyamas help us make careful decisions about how to think, speak, and behave. This foundational thinking prepares children to form healthy relationships with themselves and others.
Yamas include five (5) guidelines that support how we become a good friend to others, the world, and ourselves. Niyamas describe the principles of being a good person. Through them, we build character to us along our path to becoming who we know we truly can be. We learn mindfulness and self-discipline so we can be good citizens in the world.
These lessons plans can be used as a complete yoga class following the FGKY teaching methodology, or can be used in the home, easily adapted for the school classroom or clinical settings.
Using this 10-lesson unit, adults (parent, teacher, or clinician) can facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences that give children concrete information about each of the Yamas and Niyamas. Each lesson has a beautifully illustrated yoga sequence, breathing/meditation exercises, arts and crafts projects, and instruction on leading a class!
Each of the 10 lessons introduces you to one of the Yamas or Niyamas and how to teach it to children ages 7-11, including:
group work or activity with facilitated questions and discussions
breathing exercises, meditations and guided relaxations you can read outloud
beautifully illustrated yoga pose sequences
art projects with instructions for children to express themselves
Also included is:
35 vividly illustrated yoga poses—including six (6) never-before-released—that can be used in a number of ways, such as self-teaching and memory games
Sun Salutation poster complete with poem and poses
