Using storybooks in speech and language therapy allows us to target meaningful vocabulary and language objectives within the context of literature and well-constructed narratives. This book, "They All Saw A CAT" is great for building descriptive language skills and talking about point of view. It is a lot of fun to help kids see how the cat is viewed by each of the other animals - bigger, smaller, mean, furry.  Included in the project is a lesson plan for multiple days’ worth of activities. Use the book for up to 4 sessions; Matching cards for playing a Memory-type game; match the animal with how it saw the cat; 3 matching worksheets for matching the animal with how it saw the cat; Mix & match puzzles; and much more.  See the full details on the product page!


All Subject Areas; Grades PreK-6


Integrate geography, math, and writing activities using Edith Baer's book, This Is the Way We Go to SchoolStudents learn about the different ways kids around the world go to school, and use a world map to locate each place. The class creates a tally chart and a bar graph to show how they all get to school. Questions for analyzing the data are included. Students complete a descriptive writing prompt sharing a new way to get to school - fun for sharing and/or making a class book.

ELA/Reading; Grades K-1


Get inviting literacy centers for your learners to practice reading color words. There are 80 clothespin clip cards with a color word and a choice of three pictures printed on each card. Learners read the word and clip a clothespin to the picture of that color object. You may use all the cards, select the cards that address specific color words for your lesson, or select the cards that best meet your learners’ needs. These cards are great for morning tubs, early finishers, literacy centers, and take home practice. The following color words are addressed in this packet: red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, brown, black, pink, and white. Please Note: How colors print often varies on individual printers. The free preview has a printer test page included that has a sample of each color from the graphics used in the packet. You may download the preview and print that page to determine how the colors will print on your printer before purchasing the resource. 

As always, I encourage comments below and any ideas or suggestions by tweeting me @ATeachersTeach or contacting me via e-mail.

FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Graphing and Data Analysis: A Scientific Method Activity”

by Amy Brown Science
7th - 12th Grade


Free Graphing Practice Problem Worksheet

By the time I teach the fungi to my biology classes, several months have passed since the beginning of the school year. At the start of the school year, much time was spent on graphing and data analysis skills. I use this simple and FREE activity to kill two birds with one stone. It allows me the opportunity to review the basic science skills of graphing and data analysis while at the same time reinforcing concepts on the fungi.

No prior knowledge about fungi is needed to complete this activity.

NOTE: This product is also included in my bundled product called Fungi Complete Unit Plan Bundle of Products

In this activity, students are given information about plants that are grown with and without the assistance of mycorrhizae. Quantitative data is given. Students graph the data and answer 8 data analysis questions.

This is perfect for a short homework assignment or classwork. This can also be left in your sub folder to be used in your absence.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - “Punctuation Posters”

by Once Upon A Classroom
Pre-Kindergarten - 5th Grade


The inspiration for these posters came from an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G set of books called Meet the Puncs by Barbara Cooper. If you've never heard of them, you can check them out here!

After I've read the books to the kids, I hang the posters in my classroom. Try giving your students various types of sentences on strips and have them find the correct poster. This little game gets them moving and they love figuring out what kind of punctuation they were given. You can also give them the strips without the punctuation on them and have them stand under the poster they think is correct. 

Your feedback always brightens my day!
