"PARCC 4th Grade Math Bundle - All 4th Grade Math Common Core Standards"

By: Greg Jusinski
4th-5th Grade

I am excited to bring this PARCC bundle pack to you.  There is such a shortage of quality PARCC resources, therefore, I created a product that will allow you to expose your students to the rigor and language of the PARCC. The problems in this bundle pack are presented as problem of the day and are great for discussions. They can be used as assessments, homework, or just about anything! You get all of the math CCSS included in this pack. I have used these in my classroom for the past few months and my students have greatly enhanced their math skills, changed their thinking, and are now justifying and modeling their work...a teacher's dream if you ask me!

The best part is that this pack also informs the teacher about certain aspects of the PARCC, such as the different question types, the language they use, and the fluency timed section. If you click the picture below it will take you to the PARCC Math Bundle at my TPT store. I also have a freebie if you'd like to try it out!

English Language Arts Lessons – "FEBRUARY FLAIR Acrostic: Letter B"

February 4th is B day.

By: Connie Casserly

Grades 6-12

https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Connie

Today, February 4th is B day on the English Language Arts Lessons – FEBRUARY FLAIR Acrostic list. The B in this post stands for 

B

•  Banish Those Dialogue Demons (Grammar Lesson) https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Grammar-Banish-Those-Dialogue-Demons-664964 ($)

I first published this in NCTE's Ideas Plus, Book Ten under the title, "Banish Those Dialogue Demons." Since then, I have refined it for details and clarity as the students’ skills and needs warranted.  I have also added Common Core Anchor Standards and Bloom's Taxonomy goals.

The concept for these lessons and activities was born out of frustration after I read yet another student-written piece that showed very little understanding of proper dialogue format. I used this lesson every year since then with English 11 and 12 students and creative writing classes with much success.  This has grown to a 13-page offering.

The peer duos really enjoy creating conversations and conflicts after each person chooses a character and one setting per group (example: a logger, and an astronaut meet in a cafe in Marrakesh). They don't even complain during the proofreading and revision stages. Character (30) and Setting (15) cards are included.

• Bulletin Boards With Brain Brawn (Teacher Resource) https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Bulletin-Boards-with-Brain-Brawn-792513 ($)

Creating bulletin boards for secondary classes that are visually eye-catching, mentally stimulating and that build on the concepts promoted in the grade level’s Program of Studies can be difficult. The key is to create eye candy with mental muscle while showcasing existing lesson concepts through completed student work. This packet offers seven graphics and infinite possibilities.

Teachers may take each idea in this product and transform it to fit a whole bulletin board, or they may choose to divide the board into parts, such as Information Section, Reading Section, Writing Section, and Thinking Section.

•  Banned Books Research Project (Comprehension, Writing and Critical Thinking Lesson) https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Writing-Banned-Books-Research-Project-321767 ($)

Here is an engaging product for Banned Book Week, or for teachers to use any time during the school year. In order to illustrate the points for book censorship in the schools, students will read a frequently banned or challenged novel, either from the included list, or a choice of their own. Next, they will research when, where and why it was challenged or banned. In the last part of the paper, each student will develop his/her opinion on whether the book should be banned or restricted, using points from the paper to support his/her conclusion. They will follow the style sheet of the teacher’s choosing. Teachers can customize this project to fit the necessary grade level, their students’ abilities and needs, and their learning styles.

Enjoy this trio of activities and lessons that begin with the letter B.

Stay warm, stay stress-free and stay lesson planned.

Happy Teaching,

The Georgia DOE liked this INB idea so much, they chose to feature it in 2014’s ELA Summer Academy Sessions for Teachers. 
Teacher Comments from the classes:
"The case of literacy was strong and interesting."
"Teachers are hungry for this type of learning for their students!"
"Perfect foundation of research."
"Wow! I AM ON FIRE WITH IDEAS!"
"Excellent way of getting students to become critical thinkers!"
"I know students LOVE this teacher."
How can interactive notebooks increase student achievement? 
"Interactive Notebooks engage students from all intelligences, and ignite their desire to develop higher order thinking skills. Kinesthetic learning is in the heart of my classroom, and hopefully yours as well. My students learn to problem solve from day one, and that is essential to student achievement."

The Book With No Pictures

The Book With No Pictures by B.J. Novak

     

     Such a fun read!  I can see kids of all ages appreciating it but little ones will really get a kick out of this!
     So the premise is that whoever is reading this book aloud has to follow the rules and read everything.  It doesn't matter what it says, the rule is the adult must say everything.  Even if it says "My only friend in the whole wide world is a hippo named Boo Boo Butt" !!!
     Really cute book written by B.J.Novak from The Office.  You can see him read it aloud on YouTube here.  I also wrote a read aloud lesson plan using the gradual release and the reading strategy of asking questions.  You can find it in my TPT store here.  Super fun read.  Your kids will love it!
