• Craft winning proposals: Build strong arguments, showcase your ideas, and secure project approval with ease.

• Spark creativity: Find inspiration and ignite your inner voice with practical tips and engaging exercises.

This kit includes the following activities:

Collaborative Projects

1. Capitalization Cup Showcase - Decorate cups with different capitalization rules and create a display to showcase their cups.
2. A Bite Into A Tasty Paragraph - This engaging project tackles two key areas: reading comprehension and verb tense mastery.

Creative writing and speaking

1. Character Profile - Make a character profile by identifying nouns and their character traits.
2. I Am Looking Forward To ____ (year) - Students can write down 2 New Year’s resolutions (or what they are “looking” forward to) this (2025-2027)
3. My Thankful Heart -Students can express their thankfulness by listing at least 10 things they are thankful for (comin year). Integrated topics: Identifying Nouns, Common and Proper Nouns, Abstract and Concrete Nouns
4. A Rainbow of Words - Students can describe themselves using adjectives.

This package includes 4 tasks to get your students thinking about their musical choices. What Is Included: Task 1: Create Your Apple Playlist Task 2: Descriptive Paragraph About Your Playlist Task 3: Cover Art Design Task 4: Reflection Questions (Equity and Inclusivity) Rubric I typically give this assignment out at the beginning of the school year to get to know my student’s taste in music. It takes between 4-6 periods to complete and is appropriate for grade 5-8. Please note: This assignment works best if you are able to access Apple Music. As a teacher, you could always set up a free account to show to your students or ask your students if any of them already have it and would be willing to show the class how it works. Spend some time and show them how to use it if you have access to it. You can also see some demos from the Apple website. If you do not subscribe to Apple Music, I highly recommend it. You can still use this assignment without Apple Music with your students and they can reflect on the inclusivity of the playlist that they create. TIPS: 1. Be sure to leave feedback to earn your TeachShare credits! 2. If you like what you see - follow me for new products and updates (click the star by my store name MsNerdWood).

A Proofreading Checklist for students to monitor and proofread their own work. This Checklist includes important components needed in a quality paragraph. The following handout allows students to write a rough draft and then use this checklist to proofread their paragraph. This is a great visual for students to remember, while proofreading any type of writing. I hope you enjoy using this checklist in the classroom.

• A Web-Quest with simple questions and an answer key.
• Cut-out cards with 16 well-known Canadian astronauts and astronomers (your students might pick from a hat or you might prefer to pass them out).

Have stacks of essays and writing assignments you need to grade and looking for a quick and easy way to grade them? Look no further, scoop up these Writing Peer Assessments which come 2 per page and put the bulk of the grading task on the students themselves! Working with their peers, students first read the writing assignments or essays, then list their strengths and weaknesses. At this point, you can also give them copies of rubrics to reference as well. After doing a deep-dive into the writing assignment, students then assign a grade and staple their Peer Writing Assessment slip to the front and all you need to do is review the comments and decide if you agree with the grade given. In the end, the grade given by the teacher is final! Although I don't utilize this method for EVERY essay I grade, I definitely turn to these peer assessments when grading becomes overwhelming!
