This math resource contains ten Halloween fraction riddles which provide students practice in putting fractional parts in lowest terms as well as recognizing equivalent fractions. Specific words are provided, and the students are to figure out the correct fractional part of each particular word. (Example: The first 1/3 of LEDGER which would be LE.) If the fractional part is correctly identified, when the students write the fractional parts on the lines provided, a new word is formed. Each group of new words becomes a Halloween riddle or an answer to a riddle.

Sentence to Picture Match: Halloween is a reading comprehension activity created to be used at centers or in small groups. Students will read each sentence and match it to the picture it describes.

Retelling Profiles For Fiction & Nonfiction - Free

If you have a student who sounds like a good reader but does not seem to understand what is read, retelling is a good strategy that will give you insight into the student's thinking process. It is almost prep-free! Two RETELLING PROFILES, one for fiction, one for non-fiction, are included. They are very useful tools to evaluate comprehension processes of your students. A short, student self-evaluation form for retelling is also included.

May 2020 Teacher Talk

Posted by Deann Marin of Socrates Lantern







It's May already, time sure flies.   Time to stop by and see what our teaching friends are doing during the school closures. This is the last link-up for this school year. We'll see you again in August.


If you're interested in joining this unique group of teacher entrepreneurs, blogging buddies and/or our blog linky, sign up here....The Best of Teacher Entrepreneurs Marketing Cooperative. If you decide to join, be sure to mention one of our names.
********************************
Now That School's Out. What Will We Do for the Summer?


Summer is the time for fun, fun, fun! School is out no more hitting the books. The only problem is that much of what was learned during the school year is forgotten, “out of sight, out of mind.” Not so with these fun educational activities that will keep the children looking for more and not even realizing they're learning.
