Kids Yoga Winter Sequence Yoga Pose Card Deck & Journal
By Lara Hocheiser
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.
History of Computers - Group Research & Presentation Project
By Innovations in Technology
In this lesson, students learn more about the history of the computer. The lesson starts with a Microsoft PowerPoint whole class presentation that gives an overview of computer history from the 1950’s through current times. Next, students work in small groups to research history information from an assigned decade and then to create a presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint (or Google Slides) to share with the class. Students take notes during the presentations and then culminate their learning with a short quiz over the material. A study sheet is provided to cover the material from each decade that will be tested to give students an opportunity to review the information (or to assist in the case of absences or presentations that are incomplete). This lesson was designed for middle school (grades 6-8) but could be used in upper elementary grades or high school as well. Files included: • Teacher & Student Resources • Microsoft PowerPoint presentation (for teacher presentation to the class) • Note sheet for PowerPoint presentation and student presentations • Team Planning Sheet • Student Expectations, Instructions and Grading Rubric for History Presentation Project • Study sheet: Computer History Facts • Multiple choice quiz (includes answer key) Remember to leave feedback for credits on future purchases! ************************************************************************** Connect with us for free technology tips, resources and curriculum: Follow our blog Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Pinterest Visit our Website
Gaming Badges: Google Drive Folder included w/ Google Slides & .PDF file.
By Art Shack by JB
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.

CORE FRENCH | FSL | LOST PET | ANIMAL PERDU | GAME-BASED | 90 PAGES | PROJECT
By French Made Fun!
This newly updated *94 page* unit will cover you for roughly 7-9 Core French 1-hour classes and features a teachable slide deck, worksheets, lesson plans, rubrics, success criteria, a word wall, a phrase wall and numerous suggestions to get your kids having fun, moving, interacting and legitimately enjoying French class with you. 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.
Included in this bundle:
Warm-Ups: A collection of 11 worksheets, suggested lessons and activities, and games to support very low-level students who do not yet have basic vocabulary for colors, animals, etc., to get them up to snuff before jumping into the unit.
"Les couleurs" - A personal picture dictionary for students to use throughout the unit.
"Ma maison" - 3 differentiated, independent activities for your students to draw and describe their house.
"Les animaux de la jungle" - An independent colour and vocabulary activity.
"Méli-Mélo" - A simple word scramble activity.
"Apprenons les noms des animaux" - 3 pages for students to practice coloring and writing vocabulary.
Lesson Plans: 6 days of explicit lesson plans included. Everything from your prompts, needed material, explanation of tasks, extension opportunities, differentiation ideas, classroom management tips and tricks are included for each day. 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:
"Quel est ton animal de compagnie préféré?" - A listening and speaking activity on showing preferences. Your lesson plan has suggestions for kinesthetic games and a student survey.
"Tapette à mouches" - A 4-Slide group activity for students to find the vocabulary on the board in two large groups. Your lesson plan has suggestions for having your students lead this game.
"Quelle couleur sont les animaux?" - A 10-Slide activity to practice les couleurs in partners. Your lesson plan has suggestions for a kinesthetic game for this activity.
"Bones?! Où es-tu?!" - An engaging, interactive 8-Slide game that will have your students guessing the location of a hidden dog I've hidden behind objects on the slides. Your lesson plan has suggestions for having your students lead this game.
"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.
Worksheets, Games and Activities: 25 pages of engaging, straightforward worksheets, activities, games, printables, cut-outs, flashcards etc., that match up with your lesson plans.
Color name cut-outs for a kinesthetic game.
"Que préfères-tu?" - a speaking and listening activity on preferences.

"Où vivent-ils?" - An independent creative worksheet on animal habitats.
"Adaptations" - An independent worksheet for students to colour, trace & write animal vocabulary.
"Les revêtements corporels" - a cut-and-paste sorting activity to understand 4 body coverings.
"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.
"Animal Cards" - 48 Print, cut and laminate cards for your students to play a number of suggested and explained games including Pictionary, Charades, Memory and Go Fish!
"Word Wall" - 18 Printer-friendly cards with images and vocabulary to add to your word wall, as well as a student version (one page) to be used as a personal dictionary.
"Mur de phrases" - 12 Questions and answers to typical phrases seen in this unit, en Français with English translations. 2 student copies "Comment répondre?" are given with the questions and prompts to answer them. One copy has modelled examples.
Final Project: Students create a poster on their missing animal with specific guidelines to follow. This is the bulk of formal assessment for this unit.
"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.

DESERT ISLAND EXPLORERS | FRENCH/ENGLISH | LONG TERM SUB PLANS | LESSON PLANS
By French Made Fun!
Desert Island Explorer is an engaging, two-week game-based sub unit designed for grades 5 to 9, offering an immersive and bilingual experience centered around the theme of desert islands. This project-based learning module combines elements of language arts, science, and teamwork to enhance students' critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative skills.
Nothing is more stressful than having to leave work for an extended time: our profession requires us to plan, to create engaging resources, and to assume the subs covering have French capabilities. We all know that's... not the reality of this profession. When you've gotta be out, you've gotta be out, and frankly, when you're in this position, you've not got the time, energy or mental health to allow for this level of planning. That's where I come in! This ressource covers you for roughly two weeks: providing your sub with direction in English, and activities in both English and French to ensure a seamless absence... And if you aren't actually out (or maybe you're checked out and just a body in the room!) but just want someone to tell you what to do for 2 weeks, this checks out for that, too.
I integrate discussion-based prompts, writing activities, reading activities, film watching, reflections, games, math tasks, group work, projects, presentations, art tasks - just about everything to keep them engaged while you're away! This is a clear and engaging this resource for your next emergency absence.
In this mega crypt of activities relating to desert island survival, you'll discover the following activities:
Hopefully this provides a sense of relief and calm to you in this time of need!
You can earn credits by leaving reviews on the products you purchase. You can do this by going to My Purchases and clicking on Leave a Review. You get 1 credit for every dollar spent.

Hidden Faces In Geography, A Study of Black Geographers, Black History Month
By Geography & Math Made Easy
A Celebration of Black Geographers & Their Accomplishments!
Geography seeks to study our planet and tell the stories of the people who inhabit it. But what stories are told? And who is chosen to tell them? Throughout history, often Black geographers were not given credit for their explorations and discoveries. This is a great lesson for geography for Black History Month.
1492: Among the crew on the Santa Maria during Christopher Columbus's voyage to the Americas is Pedro Alonzo Nino, a black man. Africans also accompany Ponce de Leon, Hernando Cortes, Francisco Pizarro, Hernando de Soto, and Francisco Vasquez de Coronado in the early 16th century and it is said they helped with the discoveries.
This lesson brings to light and gives credit to 14 Blacks who were geographical explorers throughout history. Students also have the option to choose to research a past or present geographer outside of those specific to this lesson, which gives them student autonomy and ownership of their learning..

A fun and exciting Christmas holiday geography project to engage students in learning about winter holidays and traditions around the world. Implement this activity days prior to Christmas break to keep your students motivated and learning. Make every moment a teaching moment!
Through this lesson, students will catch a glimpse into the life of another child, discovering how the winter holiday season is celebrated within their culture/country—whether it is Christmas, Kwanza, Ramadan, Hanukkah, or other winter holidays. Students will be introduced to various ways of life, from South America to Europe to Africa, and will gain an understanding of each winter tradition and celebration.
Students will Adopt a Friend for the holiday Kwanza/ Ramadan / Hanukkah season and will explore ways of life during the holiday season.
Note: (1) This is a research project. Will need a zip file reader to open the file.
WHAT IT INCLUDES
Note: This lesson calls for the instructor to supply an artificial tree or cut a large human-sized tree out of butcher paper. Although, this activity can be modified so that the tree is not necessary.
