Less than $5 3rd Grade Back to School Lesson (by date, latest first)

This resource is a great book companion to “The Color Monster.” Students will have the opportunity to engage in four different activities. 

Activities included: 

1. Writing prompt: Students will identify how they’re feeling and why. 
2. Feelings Jar: They’ll have the opportunity to draw what causes certain feelings for them.
3. Symmetrical drawing: Students will get to complete the image of the color monster 
4. Coloring page

Read the book to your students and have them discuss what they’ve heard. Following the discussion, present the activities to them. Can be great for small groups, 1:1 sessions, or whole class.

Pumpkin Drawing is the first art lesson I teach each year so the finished drawings will be ready for parents to view during back to school night and will be ready for Halloween too. It is also a simple lesson to teach students basic coloring skills.

Materials include two lesson plans (one for oil pastel/crayon drawing and one for Chinese traditional painting), teacher step by step samples, teacher finished samples, and student finished samples.

21st Century Little Innovators Classroom Theme!

This set includes:

- Little Innovators letters for a bulletin board banner. White at the top can be folded

over a string, if you want it to swag! Otherwise just cut and staple. It can also

be printed at a reduced size and used at a STEM center.

- Numbers for tables. I call them teams instead of groups to remind students that they

should be working together to help each other!

- Labels for specials schedules and a clock, so you can fill in the times.

- Labels for daily subjects

- Innovator Poster with the definition

- Nameplates with boy and girl engineers and scientists

- Scientists and engineers with stars for writing students' names on.

THESE ARE NOT EDITABLE...you must handwrite in times and names.

Be Kind, Be Safe, and Do Your Job are the only school rules you need! I have taught for 33 years, in three different districts. I have seen many school-wide rules instituted, but these are the only ones that stuck! Our district has used these for years! These rules are simple and easy to remember. All other rules can fit under these main rules. This resource includes a poster for each of the three rules and suggested books to read to your class for each rule to help facilitate discussion. A student booklet for each student to complete, take home, and share with their families is also included.
