FREE SCIENCE LESSON - “Animal Research Reading Free Passages”

by Jayne Gammons
Kindergarten - 1st Grade

This is a free sample of five passages found in the Animal Research Reading Bundle.

Enjoy!

You can use these simple, nonfiction reading passages with non-readers and fluent readers. You can use them during whole group or guided reading groups. Here are some ideas...

*Provide fluent readers with their own copies of the passage. Students highlight passages and then record the information on the corresponding category charts.

*Read aloud the passage to nonreaders. Create a class chart based on the facts.

*Ask beginning readers to highlight key words or sight words.

*Identify verbs and nouns and make lists. (For example, for polar bears, run, hunt, swim could go on the verbs list. The nouns list could include fur, paws and claws.)

*Project the passages or have them printed onto poster-sized paper for use with shared reading.

*Put all of the passages in a center to create an independent research area.

FREE MISC. LESSON - “4:1 POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT: A Free, Simple Strategy to Improve Student Behavior”

by The Three Square Pegs
Pre-Kindergarten - 8th Grade

Want a super quick and easy positive behavior strategy that can be done with very little preparation or effort and that has the potential to be extremely effective? If so, this is the strategy for you! It’s so simple that you may not realize it's even a strategy, BUT IT IS. This is an unconventional positive behavior strategy because this particular behavior strategy is for YOU, not your students. Your students, however, will be the ones who benefit from you using this strategy!

Research shows that for every time we give negative feedback to a student, we need to give the student four positive feedbacks. It’s the 4:1 ratio used by behavior experts when striving to improve a student’s behavior. While every student does not always need this 4:1 ratio, students who have challenging behaviors are the ones who tend to need it the most! The reason is simple: They are the students getting the most negative feedback, and since negative feedback is still ATTENTION, students may unknowingly continue to misbehave in order to be noticed and get a reaction from the teacher.

What you get:

• Educator’s Guide/Instructions
• A Student Behavior Form (optional)
• Example/Directions page for the Student Behavior Form
• A Self-Monitoring Form (optional)
• Graph Paper to chart results

A tool to help individual students manage anger can be found here:
