Planet Information Graphic Organizer
Another graphic organizer for researching planets! (Hmm... I wonder what I could be teaching right now...)
Graphic Organizer has sections for:
~ Size
~ # of Moons
~ Distance from the Sun
~ Temperature
~ Composition
~ Fun Facts
Goes alongside the Planet Fact Sheets in my store!
I can upload this blank with lines, too, at request!

Types of Cloud foldable
I have created the template for a foldable about the basic types of clouds. You can personalize it on the inside. Students can write about the weather associated with each cloud type, or even make the foldable into a chart, and log the types of clouds each day for a unit. There are endless possibilities! It is formatted so that you can print the foldable and fold it in half. Then the students can cut the lines between each cloud type on the top layer, opening each tab for information underneath!

The Hydrologic / Water Cycle (Comprehensive)
In an effort to make high quality educational material more accessible to parents and teachers alike, regardless of location and/or socioeconomic status, I have decided to post lessons I create on here for FREE. The products I make consist mostly of Google Slides in PDF format for K-8th grade students. They cover a wide range of subject matter, but focus mainly on math and language development. Each lesson is created with the intention of keeping students attentive and actively engaged by using

Read The Skies: Clouds and Weather at Sea
In this lesson, students will learn how to identify different types of clouds, and make a model of each type using cotton balls on a poster board. Students will learn how recognizing cloud types can help them make predictions about the short-term weather, and how this ability is useful to mariners who must be able to make decisions about safety based on environmental observations. Students will then use the charts/posters they have made to identify cloud types outside in the sky!

Trapping Trash
Waste reduction and prevention is essential in mitigating marine debris. However, action needs to be taken to address the trash that has already accumulated in our oceans. This lesson plays on students’ creativity by asking them to design a machine that collects debris in the ocean without impacting wildlife.

To Help you Quit Quitting-Guide for passing
I developed this "guide" when I recognized my previous school shifted to mastery learning students were struggling with submitting evidence of their learning. This "guide" uses the lowest DOK questions from the original assignment for students to be able to meet the minimum amount of evidence that can be scored in the grade book. In my case I use a 10/10 scale, so a 6/10 a D (passing). This will help those students who struggle with keeping up with assignments or who struggle with attendance. Cu

It's All Downstream From Here
In this lesson, students make observations about what is in their classroom trash receptacle (or various trash items brought by instructor). Students then go outside to collect trash from the surrounding area and record what they find using the NAMEPA Trash Data form. The class then looks at the data they have collected and makes inferences about sources, origins and most common types of marine debris. This is a great lesson to do in a coastal area or near a waterway!

Lets Talk Trash
Students are introduced to marine debris and participate in a role-playing exercise acting as beachgoers, seafarers (or crew members on a boat), homeowners, factory managers, or managers of a waste disposal company. Students discuss their role and how they can manage or prevent marine debris. Students then make a commitment to decreasing their plastic consumption by signing the NAMEPA Plastics Pledge.
