Printable Money - Penny, Nickel, Dime, and Quarter
This is a printable page with coins (penny, nickel, dime, and quarter) sized at roughly the equivalent coin size in color. This can be used for money projects or for helping students to identify coins. In my classroom I have the students cut out the coins (practicing fine motor skills), practice making change, then glue the coins to a piece of paper for something they want to "buy". Also, if the money is printed in black and white, it can help students to identify coins by features other than co

3rd Grade Reading STAAR Bingo Vocabulary Game
I created this bingo game while looking at previous STAAR tests and lists of “stem questions” for reading. I noticed many of my students (especially my ELLs) had trouble with terminology used on the test. I wanted a fun way for them to become more familiar with the test vocabulary.
I used this game whole class, small group, during tutoring, and I even gave it to my Tier II and Tier III teachers who were enlisted to help prepare them for the reading test.
