$5 - $10 Writing Activities (by price, high to low)

Do your students need highly engaging morning meeting digital resources or a picture of the day to start off their morning? Morning Meeting Picture Slides are important to utilize to develop strong relationships with students and peer-to-peer relationships.  The picture of the day allows for deeper conversations and the building of a strong classroom community, which in turn raises academic achievement skills. The digital resource has many diverse pictures where everyone can feel represented.

How I Use Picture of The Day

We use a picture of the day every morning during our morning meeting routine. The morning meeting slides are projected on our screen for all students to see. 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. 

Additionally, The picture of the day can be used for writing prompts or centers. Students can look at the picture and write a story based on the picture. 

This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners. You could assign one or more morning meeting slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities. 

“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom

“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention

The topics and what is included:

• 180 pages of editable Google Slides. 
• Diverse, beautiful pictures.
• Pictures were either taken by me or were purchased stock photos. 
• No worksheets. 
• An excellent time-saver where all of the pictures are ready to go in one place!

This resource features 25 motivational/inspirational quotes and multiple writing prompts that come in 4 variations + DIGITAL = 5 variations! They can be used as positive/growth mindset, reflection, or discussion activities at the beginning, during, or end of class – or “just because” activities.

All quotes and questions are in Times New Roman font to ensure accessibility. Every item in this folder includes a digital version and CAN be modified on Google Slides, too! WHOOP WHOOP!

*******************************

EACH folder includes the following items:

▶️ 25 Quotes with Backgrounds only slides (25 slides)

Each slide in this file includes unique, “serene” background image with the quote and author’s name only. You can post these slides on the board, “share your screen” during Zoom/Google Meets classes, and have students discuss. You may generate your OWN questions for them. (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 25 Quotes with a List of Questions slides (25 slides)

Each slide in this file includes a unique background paper with the quote, author’s name, and a list of three questions. Students do not type their responses in these slides. This can be used to display on the board, in your ZOOM/Google Meets classes, etc. to discuss the quotes and related questions. (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 25 Quotes with Response Questions slides (Students type/enter responses – 25 slides)

Each slide in this file includes a unique slide borders and clipart with the quote, author’s name, and three questions WITH SPACES for students to type in their response. You can share the PowerPoint with your students to type in their responses, use it as display (Smartboard, “screen sharing,” upload into Google Classroom, etc.) or students can complete it digitally - Text boxes ALREADY created! (DIGITAL versions included for both editable and uneditable versions!)

▶️ 25 Worksheets (PDF/Digital – 25 pages)

This file includes 25 worksheets that contain the quote, author’s name, and two questions - breath-taking borders, fonts, and clipart.

▶️ 2 Blank PowerPoint Slides with Clipart and Backgrounds

ADD YOUR OWN QUOTE and QUESTIONS SLIDES!

Also included are two “blank” slides that have the same exact backgrounds as the PowerPoint slides in this resource. Because you can't edit the PowerPoint slides, I included two without a quote or question, so YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN and duplicate the slides as many times as you please with different quotes and questions!

There are a total of 8 Google Slide Links (for ALL the items above!) Each item includes a DIGITAL version! It cannot be more accessible than that! TEXT BOXES have already been created to make it easier for you and your students.

Signing with Oliver is a story about a child who is Deaf and uses American Sign Language to communicate. He attends a residential school for the Deaf. He is looking forward to a Friday sleepover with his best friend, Derek, who is also Deaf and stays in the dorms at school as a residential student. The boys are so excited for their sleepover. In their neighborhood there isn’t anyone who uses sign language to communicate, which makes it challenging for them to make friends. In this story, students will read about the challenges that Oliver faces throughout the week, while he tries to follow the rules at home and in school so Derek can sleep over. Will he be able to stay out of trouble so Derek can sleep over?

There are 8 chapters in this product. The story is included in the first part of the product and another packet is included after the story that includes questions for each chapter. Vocabulary words, their meanings, examples of each word in a sentence, and an opportunity for students to use each vocabulary word in a sentence are included. Comprehension questions that relate with each chapter are also included. Students can complete these comprehension questions independently or in a group after they have finished reading each chapter. Some of the comprehension questions allow students to write about their own personal experiences.

Contents:
This Ocean Themed Bundle includes four exciting activities, each designed to promote hands-on learning while keeping students engaged with ocean-themed fun:

1. Write the Room: Students will search the room for 12 ocean-themed images and record their findings on one of four tracking sheets. Two options are available for early learners with images and two with primary lines for more advanced learners.
2. Lacing Cards: Featuring ocean animals, these lacing cards have easy-to-punch holes for students to thread a string or lace through, building their fine motor skills.
3. Cut and Paste Crafts: Students will cut out pieces of ocean-themed objects and glue them together, creating fun crafts while improving their scissor and gluing skills.
4. Play Dough Mats: Each mat displays an ocean object that students will replicate using play dough, with an "I Can" statement at the bottom to encourage skill-building.
