Don't forget to check our my "revised" first twenty days of reading workshop for Junior and Intermediate grades: First Twenty Days of Reading Please don't forget to take a look at the other items I have available in my store!
By YourTeachingDoc
Do you need a series of writing prompts for your students that you can present in your Zoom class or on the projector in your classroom?
This is a great opener for your classroom, whether virtually or face-to-face. Each tab of the book (writing stem prompt) represents a "day in the life" of your student. The students can keep an online journal via Google Docs or they can use an "old fashioned" composition notebook.
This encourages dialogue, creativity, and helps guide supporting details when writing. These can be used over and over again... and get new responses each time! Note: It is a PPT, so you can edit it as needed!
Enjoy!

Deaf Education - Singular and Plural Noun Sentences Booklet
By Sign with me TOD
As students are learning the difference between singular and plural nouns, coming up with sentences using those nouns is our next step. My students love booklets of any kind that they can refer back to. Once they have come up with their sentences, they will include pictures that they print and cut out, draw pictures freehand, or find pictures in a magazine that they can add to each page of the booklet to connect with what they wrote about. This gives students the opportunity to connect what they are learning about in the classroom with their own personal interests. This booklet is perfect for students that are on grade level as well as students who require instructional information to be adapted.
