Compounds and Mixtures "Mini" Labs - Set of 2
By Brittany Henderson
2 "mini" labs that will help students observe and make connections to compounds and mixtures. The first introduces students to the concept of mixtures. The second shows the concept that not all liquids act alike so conclusions can be drawn about how materials interact when put together.
These short activities reinforce or introduce concepts to students. I call these activities “mini labs” because they are simple activities that do not take the whole class period. They are also activities that are safe for use in the classroom and do not have to be done in a lab or with any specialty equipment or materials. I often use these demonstrations to lead into new content, that way as we cover material I can refer back to the things that my students have experienced first hand.

Gaming Badges Incentive Program.
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.

Day of the Dead Scavenger Hunt Reading Game English Version Gallery Walk
By Specialty Spanish
Want your Spanish students to learn about Day of the Dead , but reading comprehension is getting boring in your Spanish class? Turn it into a game! This mystery-solving reading about Día de Muertos goes from dull to exciting as students work together and move around the room to solve a mystery! This is a simple “print and go” with no work for the teacher!
Students investigate with Maria, a young person from Mexico, while she tries to understand more about a former member of her town. He visits the townspeople all year, not just during Día de Muertos. Why can’t he rest in peace? While they read the parts, they are also looking for “code words”. Students record the code words on a special answer sheet that will eventually lead them to solving the mystery of how/why he died. It’s so much fun!
After, you can decide which of the 4 follow-up activities you want to do with your students. There are 4; a True or False Activity to check for basic comprehension, a graphic organizer for students to learn more about the specific items related to Day of the Dead, a “tell me in your own words” activity, and a writing follow up where students use their reading comprehension and critical thinking to invent an explanation for who this lost soul was and why he died the way he did. Answer key to the True/False is also included. Best of all? If there’s something you’d like to change for your students, you are free to edit!
The reading cards are written in English for your Novice classes. The questions are written in English and answers will be in English as well. The instructions and mission are written in English. Students get the benefit of learning about a cultural event while using teamwork!
**If your students are ready for reading in Spanish, check out the Spanish version of this Scavenger Hunt! And if you have classes at both levels, buy them in a bundle to save money!

We Beat The Street Chapter 7 Questions, We Beat the Street Reading Comprehension
By Queen's Educational Resources
We Beat The Street Chapter 7 Questions, We Beat the Street Reading Comprehension
ABOUT THIS RESOURCE
★ Text: We Beat The Street
★ Chapter 7 Questions
★ 16 pages
★ Print and Digital
★ Detailed Answer Key included
This resource includes:
★ 1 Inference-Based Question "combo" Worksheet (contains all 5 questions together)
★ 5 Inference-based Question Worksheets (on a separate worksheet)
★ 5 Bulletin Board Task Display Pages (for each question worksheet)
★ 1 Scoring Rubric
★ 1 Blank Worksheet (for you to generate your own question!)
★ ANSWER KEY (very detailed!)
This resource focuses on CHAPTER 7 of We Beat The Street and features 5 inference-based questions that require students to demonstrate inferential thinking and a deep analysis of the chapter - beyond literal comprehension. Each inference-based question can be treated as an extended response where students must make inferences and support their responses, ideas, and/or analysis with evidence from the text.
► There is a "combo" worksheet, which includes all five questions on two pages. There are also 5 separate worksheets that include the same questions on a different worksheet. This allows for more extensive responses. You can have students either complete all five inference-based questions on the "combo" worksheet all at once OR you can have students complete each of the questions at different times: for classwork, independent practice, homework, or formative assessment - your choice! You can even give students different questions depending on their levels - excellent for differentiation.
► I also included a blank worksheet for you to generate your own question and students write it in the box!
► A detailed ANSWER KEY for the questions have been included. The ideas and evidence in the Answer Keys are accompanied by page numbers to help you facilitate discussion more smoothly and navigate to important ideas and events without looking for the information in the book. The Answer Keys are so comprehensive that you can even develop additional questions that will encourage students to engage in productive classroom talk!
► A 2-Point rubric is included for scoring with a section for comments and feedback at the bottom. Finally, there are five visually appealing Bulletin Board Task Display Pages to display with student work. The Bulletin Board Task Display Pages are personalized for each question worksheet! You have everything you need to score these assignments and display on bulletin boards immediately upon completion. It's a great way to showcase student work!
► This resource is also included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.
