Morning Meeting Work Google Slides Bundle
By Professional Development and Teacher Prep
Do you need Morning Meeting Google Slides with Morning Meeting Questions and a Picture of The Day Slides for the whole year?
This is a bundle that includes 180 EDITABLE Morning Meeting Slides with beautiful backgrounds and creative questions and 180 EDITABLE Morning Meeting Pictures to share on a daily basis.
What I do each morning is display the Morning Meeting Questions, and I pick one slide to share and every student responds, which leads us to have deep discussions. I also share one Picture of The Day slide, and students are asked to infer, visualize, synthesize, and create connections with the picture. Looking closely at a picture is an important reading skill for students to develop to create inferences about what they are reading.
The Morning Meeting Questions are higher-order questions that inspire thought-provoking answers. Additionally, I have built strong meaningful relationships with these slides!
"Higher-order questions put advanced cognitive demand on students. They encourage students to think beyond literal questions."

ELA Book for Student Writing/Grammar/Editing - Workbook
By Blooming Through High School
Perfect for learners who have IEP's requiring class notes, correctly completed examples, and graphic organizers.
I was tired of writing things on the board over and over again. I was tired of printing out pages that students threw away. I was also tired of answering questions that students could find for themselves. So I made a book to make sure I wouldn't have to anymore.
Over the course of 2 months, I thought of everything that I would have to teach, explain, write examples of, and print, and I put all my tips and tricks into ONE BOOK. I printed this out and spiral bound all the pages for each of my students. Every time my students ask me to repeat something, I point them to the book.
I also use this in my class for reference during specific lessons as well. It's a game changer! I save time and I save my sanity.
It's the MOST helpful for all the little pieces students need to know for all the stages of writing: brainstorming, pre-writing, paragraphs, citations, plagiarism, and much, much more.
