Halloween Pumpkinology Investigation-Pumpkin Crafts, Party or STEM Science Fun!

By Keeper of Kinders

This resource is a science driven, easy to use pack to use when investigating all things pumpkin! Pumpkinology is a great way to incorporate kindergarten science standards in a fun, fall themed way.

Cut off the top of a pumpkin and let them scoop out the insides to count seeds, estimate how many counting cubes tall is a pumpkin, how many paperclips will it take to fit around the pumpkin? Will the pumpkin sink or float? What is the life cycle of a pumpkin? Color or use tissue paper to produce a tear art version to create their very own pumpkin.

I use this resource in my classroom on October 31st as part of our fall party! We investigate all things pumpkin and the grand finale is when we carve a face on the pumpkin, add in baking soda, vinegar and green food coloring to make the pumpkin explode (outside of course)! This is a day your students will remember for years to come!

Teachers can use it as a:

  • Halloween party and make each investigation a station
  • Week long investigation of pumpkin attributes
  • Science project to let little learners estimate what they think will happen
  • Fall fun pack
  • Lesson on the life cycle of a pumpkin

Happy pumpkin investigating!

Empower and Calm Teacher Bundle

By Lara Hocheiser

Teachers tell me they can't integrate yoga and mindfulness for two reasons: They don't know how and they don't have time. I hear that 100%.

This product is made to help you SAVE time, but first, you have to invest your time. If you spend ten minutes a day, 3 times a week in September and October, by November you only spend 5 minutes, and by January kids are doing this all by themselves. You can learn it together and then you ALL get the skills! Imagine that! Imagine the time you will save not micro-managing behavior.

A colleague and first-grade teacher name Nicole did just as I described above and her class was lightyears more manageable by mid-year than the other groups. People would comment about how quietly they walked in the hallway and how quickly they transitioned from activity to activity. She invested the time and was paid back in dividends. I developed this product to help others share in Nicole's success.

Together, we can use yoga and mindfulness to learn about and take care of our bodies.

Social-emotional learning and self-awareness can be learned using this product. Think of the responsible decisions children can begin to make when we help them connect the dots inward and outward.

Commit to this lesson unit to help your students become more aware of their bodies as you guide them to make mindful connections between how body parts may feel and how can we care for ourselves. Explore ten (10) key body parts and how we can use body awareness to learn about our bodies and emotions while gaining valuable exercise. Each body part has accompanying yoga poses, mindful activities, and facilitated discussion prompts.

The Empower and Calm Teacher Bundle is made for educators, parents, and anyone doing yoga with children!

Give your students the tools to exercise and check-in with their mind and body.

Introducing the Empower and Calm Yoga Bundle, aimed at getting kids moving while learning about self-awareness and boosting self-esteem. 

This bundle includes three (3) yoga units and two (2) yoga card decks geared at empowering, energizing, and strengthening our bodies and minds. 

In this bundle you will get:

  • My Body and Caring for Myself: comprehensive Teacher’s Manual and accompanying Student Workbook aimed at developing self-awareness while strengthening our bodies.
  • Empowerment Sequence Yoga Cards and Lesson Plans: three lesson plans and a yoga card deck to feel empowered and help children develop a positive self-image. (Our most popular lesson plan ever!!)
  • Time for Me: Calming Yoga Cards: calming yoga card deck to encourage children to slow down and manage big emotions. (Fewer words, more calm!)

Lesson Plans for Educators

My Body and Caring for Myself:

The Student workbook can be printed for all of your students, providing self-reflection questions, yoga poses, and meditations for each of 10 body parts.

The teacher's guide assists in facilitating deeper discussions and gives tips for knowing when to move on, and ways to expand the material.

The glossary gives instructions for every pose and meditation.

The slideshow can be used as a visual with basic talking points for you to guide your students with ease from the SMARTBOARD.

Empowerment:

Helping with the back to school blues, challenge your students to strengthen their self-esteem and bodies at once, while facilitating nuanced discussions and meditations.

Time For Me Cards

With fewer words and easy-to-use illustrated yoga poses, children can do relaxing poses to handle any stressor. Provide a place where children are welcome to use these during class, and help them become self-sufficient.

Our yoga lesson plans give the tools to facilitate conversations, games, activities, and yoga experiences to kids of all ages. Use our beautifully-illustrated yoga cards as a visual aid to teach children the yoga poses. Each yoga pose and activity have how-to instruction, written for children. 

With this bundle, children will gain the benefits of yoga and mindfulness while learning about the importance of body awareness and how to manage big emotions. 

This bundle is a PDF download which you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print out onto paper.

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.

  • Lessons are provided in English, and all activities within are French and English.
  • These products work in English or French classrooms.

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:

  • All lesson plans (in English) for 15 activities and projects;
  • Desert Island Charades (An engaging team activity where they must act out different desert island scenarios and go head-to-head against the opposing team);
  • Island Survival Expedition (A team-based activity on choosing the items to bring to a desert island - without surpassing a maximum weight limit);
  • Shipwrecked (An activity which will have students ranking items based on their importance for survival after being shipwrecked);
  • A Brief History of the Message in a Bottle with 2 questions;
  • Make Your Own Message in a Bottle (An engaging, meaningful task which involves students writing, decorating, "throwing to sea" and finding bottles with their classmates);
  • Bottle + old paper templates (For use with Message in a Bottle activities);
  • Dilemme sur une île déserte (4 pages of math activities - French only);
  • 2 x Reading comprehension:
    • Perdus en mer” (French only - grades 7-9) with questions;
    • L’Île mystérieuse” (French only - grades 4-6) with questions.
  • Desert Island Dilemma (A writing prompt with information for idea generation);
  • Film project (Success criteria and rubrics included for this team-based, drama-focused task);
  • The great survival strategy (Stations activity on persuasive language techniques and strategies)
  • The great survival strategy (Persuasive prompt following the stations activity)
  • Jeopardy-style flash cards (Whole group team-based game on finding the best answer)
  • Watch + Respond (A film to be viewed with examples on how to engage students with their listening)
  • Watch + Respond (Student question list - English only)
  • Watch + Respond (Collaborative question cards - English only)
  • The Ultimate Survival Guide (A final project which will have students creating pamphlets, brochures or an infographic on a desert island. Includes success criteria and rubrics in both English and French).

Hopefully this provides a sense of relief and calm to you in this time of need!

Spanish Writing Prompt Activity - Weekly Spanish Writing Program - Week 49

By Love Learning Languages - French Resources

This one week SPANISH writing program will have your students writing every day of the week, and is perfect for Spanish immersion and regular Spanish curriculum. The writing activities in this program include five prewriting and writing activities for Monday through Friday. These writing prompts are a great way both to introduce and to review writing. Provide each student with a "párrafo de la semana" folder and have them add to it every day as you give them daily assignments. At the end of the week have them turn in their folders.

Theme: Si quieres sacar muy buenas notas en la escuela...

Here’s how this program works:

✍Lunes:  Dibujo - Give students a drawing page with a writing prompt at the top. This will have them beginning to think about the writing theme for the week and is their first pre-writing assignment. Kids love drawing, and the pictures they draw will later serve as inspiration!

✍Martes:  Mi folleto de vocabulario - Each student receives a booklet to help them explore the vocabulary related to the week’s writing theme. The front page includes the writing prompt of the week and an image. The second page includes over 80 frequently used Spanish words. Page three lists 12 words that go along with the theme of the week, and the back page has space for ten words that students have either thought of on their own or looked up in the dictionary. The booklet is a simple one page printable that you can either fold in advance or have students do it on their own. Kids write their name on the front cover and you could have them color it.

✍Miercoles:  Vocabulario - Students go back to their vocabulary booklets from Tuesday and choose ten words that they will include in their rough draft. The words they choose can be a combination of words they have chosen and themed vocabulary that was already written in the booklet. They then write down the chosen words on their vocabulary page that says “ Palabras de vocabulario útiles: Voy a utilizar estas palabras en mi párrafo".

✍Jueves:  Mi borrador - Students write a rough draft of their paragraph using the vocabulary words selected on Wednesday. The brouillon page includes a 5 point checklist at the top for students to evaluate their work for themselves before writing the final copy on Friday. This will motivate students to look over their work and make corrections. 

✍Viernes:  Mi borrador final - The fifth and final step in this writing program is to write the final copy. Students should feel very confident in writing about this week’s theme by now. At the top of the final copy page they’ll see the writing prompt and question words that they can ask themselves while writing:  quién - qué - cuándo - dónde - por qué - cómo

Ways you can use this writing program:

✎ Enhance your writing program by practicing a little every day.

✎ Use the prompts at writing centers Monday - Friday.

✎ Daily 5 rotations

✎ Homework

✎ Writing centers

✎ Fast finishers

✎ Tutoring sessions

✎ No prep sub materials

✎ Morning work

Grades 3-6 Plot summary: The day after Thanksgiving “Black Friday”, is typically known as the beginning of the holiday shopping season.

She plans to present this gift to her two children as she flies home after the Thanksgiving holiday. After unexpectedly waiting in the checkout line longer than she anticipates, she realizes that she missed her flight home – and that’s when the story begins take on a b-plot of its own. Shannon, along with other supporting coworkers, acquaintances, and a South California beach bum, are forced to make choices that will directly impact the holiday shopping season, and more importantly, time spent with their families. Join us in a hip-hop, non-stop adventure through the post- Thanksgiving merchandise frenzy in ”Black Flyday” The musical is 25 minutes in duration and features 6 movements in various musical genres.

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit - Bundle All Ages

By Three Little Homeschoolers

Get ready for your upcoming visit to the pumpkin patch with this field trip bundle! This bundle includes the Preschool & Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School Units. Includes reading passages and fun activities for before and after the field trip, as well as a trip reflection activity that can be used for any field trip.

All Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Units follow the same outline and the parent/teacher info sheet is the same for all three so that if you have children of several ages, you can seamlessly teach them together. Homeschooling parents and teachers taking multiple grades on the trip can easily combine the three units included in this bundle.

Includes:

  • Parent/Teacher information sheet that gives a quick run down of all the pumpkin patch information included in the unit

Pre-Trip Activities

  • Pumpkin Patch read aloud for younger students
  • Pumpkin Patch reading passage for older students
  • Pumpkin Life Cycle activity in full color and black & white
  • Pumpkin Life Cycle writing activity - tracing and writing version
  • History of Pumpkin read aloud for younger students
  • History of Pumpkin reading passage for older students
  • Three Sisters read aloud for younger students
  • Three Sisters reading passage for older students
  • Three Sisters writing activities for each level

The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip Unit is part of my Field Trip Unit Series. The series was created with homeschoolers in mind, but can be adapted to be used in a classroom as well. Field trips are a great way to supplement learning, but often homeschoolers don’t get any background information on the location of their field trip and want to enrich their experience by expanding the learning at home before and after the trip. These units help give information and fun activities before and after the field trip.

These units are available individually in PreK/Kinder, Elementary, and Middle & High School levels. Buying in this bundle saves you 20% off the individual prices

ELA - Expository/Explanatory Writing Using Human Rights

By Amanda G

This unit was designed (and taught) for a grade 5-7 mixed ability group.

If you want to get your students to think about the world around them and understand that everyone in the world has the same rights, but not everyone actually gets those rights, this is the unit to do this. Using explanatory writing as the genre of writing, students learn about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, while learning how to write different explanatory writing formats.

This unit includes links to required media, a teach guide (with 21-day timeline) and a student book to get you started. The final assessment questions are also provided. Rubric/success criteria are to be developed with the class (I do not provide rubrics because of the differences in curriculum).

From the feedback section: "Used with common core module 1"
