FREE GIFT with purchase! Get our Winter Yoga Coloring Book for free with purchase*!

For many children, the first thought that comes to mind when winter approaches is “snow day!” The winter can be a time of hibernation as it is cold outside, many extracurricular activities have slowed down, and the days get darker much earlier. When children are cooped up inside, they can become restless and bored quite easily. However, the winter yoga sequence is a great way to promote physical activity and encourage movement during a restless time.

The Winter Sequence is a 13 page PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper. We recommend cutting out each card and taping/gluing on a 4x6 index card or card stock. For added durability, laminate each card.

• Designed for kids of all ages

• Includes printable yoga deck

• Learn 5 yoga poses

• Includes additional yoga activity instructions

• Includes mandala coloring page for relaxation

• Printable journal to reflect on your practice

• Perfect for practicing anywhere! Use this deck at home, school, park, or when traveling!

*For FREE Winter Yoga Coloring Book email us at lara@flowandgrowkidsyoga.com. Now through 1/10/2019.

This creative Art Room Gaming Badges Activity was designed to be printed and displayed as examples while you teach. Use this Google Slide file to display these beautiful images one-by-one on a large screen. *NOTE: this is a yearly event; it will take most of a full school year for any student to complete all 30 gaming badges…and that’s a good thing! *Students may try for any badge, in any order, however, students will want to start working on gaining easy gaming badges first, before trying to get the harder ones done. *Once students accomplish the criteria for a certain badge, either the teacher or the student may take colored pencils (only) to color the accomplished badge, so it looks similar to the completed version. *Move on to completing another great gaming badge. Good Luck! I hope you and your kiddos love this! Enjoy.

Kids will have a great time building these three full-color DIY models, using just scissors and glue or clear tape. They can choose from Frankenstein, a Witch or Vampire Buddies -- or make all three!

This fun, engrossing activity teaches children how to follow directions in sequence to create fun mini-creatures to place on the table or give as gifts.

This resource is ideal for a makerspace, DIY project or a Halloween activity. Includes:

• Frankenstein Buddy templates (top and bottom)

• Vampire Buddy templates (top and bottom)
• Photo of all three finished Creature Buddies to provide an example for kids

This novel study goes along with E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. You and your students will go chapter by chapter. Studying the characters, setting, events, point of view, adjectives, text structures (Cause/Effect, Compare/Contrast, and Problem/Solution), and more. It all ends with a watch along with the 2006 live-action movie and a project comparing the movie and the book.

Things that are included in this product are: Completed Lesson Plans for each chapter (also a blank one that is editable), Google Slides to go with each chapter, Doodle notes prompts and organizers for each chapter, End of Chapter activities, Movie Watch Along activity, Assessments, and a Rubric for the project.

At the beginning of each slideshow, there is a review of what the activity will be focused on for that chapter. You might need to teach your students that skill. But this product spiralizes. So you will cover skills, multiple times throughout the read.

Everything that is included is editable for you, so you can make it fit for your classroom! This could also be used as a digital activity (Slides and End activities) by using the Google Slides Add-ON Peardeck.

In the lesson plans, I did not include a standard because each state has its own standards.

This is an integrated project that focuses on the Persuade portion of Author's Purpose. I integrated this project with my science unit (Human Impacts on the earth) and my social studies unit (How people can help our planet). Students were tasked with creating an ad to persuade their audience to help with a world problem (Deforestation, Pollution, etc).

All of the graphic organizers we used, PowerPoints with ads and videos of world problems, and the checklist for the ad is included in this product. The students get to explore ads already created and review them. Then they research some of the world problems. After this they are placed in groups and then using a random wheel, are given a world problem. They then identify the impacts of the problem and come up with some solutions. Then they begin to plan their ad and once approved by their teacher, they began creating their ad!

In my classroom, my students wanted to try and create commercials. So we used the Canva app (usually free for educators) and the students worked together to create their commercials.

I hope this product is useful and gets your students engaged. Please rate and review.

Merry Christmas! This is a self-portrait that students will create of themselves. They will then use adjectives to describe their self-portraits/themselves and place them in the ornaments surrounding the self-portrait. There are included cutouts for the self-portrait if students would like to add more things to make it look more like Christmas. The Santa hat, antlers, and ears have already been shaped to fit the head. Students will just need to cut them out.

I hope this helps get your students into the Christmas spirit! This will be a great product for displaying student work also. I hope you enjoy it!

The entirety (or parts of) the unit can easily be left with a substitute teacher and you need a quick lesson plan. It's ALL here!

As with all of my Core French products, this one is geared toward a LOW-LEVEL middle-school classroom (grades 3-7). It's high-energy, interactive, highly engaging and requires no prep. It ties in to some science concepts for grades 5 & 6 on biodiversity and adaptations. It features a significant amount of game-based learning and some project-based learning

There are three longer projects included with this unit: "Mon drôle d'animal" which has them building a silly animal and describing its body parts and details; "Mon animal perdu," a poster project which has them creating a poster for their missing pet, and "Une interview à la radio" which has them writing a radio script to find their lost pet with a partner.

Each day students have activities, games, worksheets, and projects to work on independently, in partners and in groups.

• Slide Deck: 38 pages of highly engaging, game-based learning, that's interactive for you to click and go. In your Slide Deck, you'll find:

• "Qui suis-je?" - Two animal riddles as models for a riddle-creating activity outlined in your lesson plan. Students see, hear and use descriptive language.

• "Le projet final" - Your final project build-up has two slides which I use as messages du jour to explain their poster project, and two slides which highlight the expectations.

• "Headbandz" - A final fun group game for your students to use descriptive language, with vocabulary prompts, to explain an animal.

• "Caractéristiques animales" - a cut-and-paste activity to label animals and their body parts.

• "Rapport sur mon animal" - an independent 2-page fill-in-the-blank infographic on a researched animal.

• "Ah non! Mon animal est perdu!" - Students are provided with an explanation of the final project task with a checklist as their "success criteria."

• "Mon collier d'animal" - Two differentiated versions of this activity that will have students designing their pet's collar for their final project.

• "Une interview à la radio" - A partner skit-writing activity where they'll take turns pretending to be the "animateur" and the "invité" and either record their radio interview, present it to the class, present it to you, or use other means like FlipGrid (if your board allows it) to show you their learnings.

• "Mon animal perdu" - A formal rubric which focuses on their ability to meet the checklist criteria, to be creative, or to be effective communicators in the radio interview.
