student Agenda/ weekly planner template including spelling word list
In my Montessori class, my students regularly use planners to keep track of their work completed, assignements, spellling and goal setting. One year, I could not get reimbursed for the cost of 5 dollars per planner so with a little help, I had my own created.
This planner includes a place for each child's name to work on their goal for the week (I like helping children use the possessive apostrophe), a place for weekly spelling words, the days of the week in Spanish and English and a message

Dystopia Vs. Utopia Genre Introduction (The Giver, Hunger Games, 1984, etc.)
My students love this lesson. They learn how societies can be oppressive, read about different types, and then create their own laws to see how they can become oppressive. This lesson provides students with an introduction to the characteristics of a dystopia and dystopia genre. It begins by contrasting utopia vs dystopia, continues with 3 examples of societies (2 dystopian, 1 utopian) and has students underline the characteristics, and ends with students creating their own well-intentioned l

Fahrenheit 451 Part One Reading Quiz ("The Hearth and the Salamander")
