When my students have had a rough sub review or an issue in class this is a good way for them to reflect on their actions and write an apology to someone else. It breaks down each section so you know they understand why they need to apologize. I keep a stack already printed in my classroom for when I need to send a kid in the hall.

This is a Nativity Play I wrote when I directed our school's Christmas program a few years ago. It has ten scenes and it may be appropriate to intersperse each scene with a song at a Christmas concert. I have used it that way before, as well as for reader's theatre in a classroom setting. I wrote this script, basing it of course on the story contained in the first chapters of the four Gospels. A digital copy is free and available online for anyone to borrow, use, or modify.

My disclaimer for this product is that it is nothing special. It is pretty straight forward. After working in the classroom for a few years, I started to realize how crucial it is to set up structure, routines, and communication with parents at the beginning of the year. My goal at the beginning of each year is to contact every parent within the first 1-3 weeks with something positive about their child -- even the most hard-to-love kids! However, having 75 - 100+ students makes that many pho

Christmas Play - The Grinch

I adapted Dr. Suess' beloved Christmas story into a play that would work in elementary school. In my case, I had my grade 6/7 class as the actors, and the other classes each performed a song. I had help from the music teacher and other classroom teachers for the songs. If you don't have a music teacher, then you could easily omit the music portion and the play would still run great. I suggest surveying your potential actors to see who is interested in learning a lot of lines and who isn't befor

b-Checker

This is the fastest and easiest way I've found to clear up b/d confusion. Instead of having to choose between two options (as in the "bed" method), children ask themselves one simple question to determine if the letter is a 'b' or not a 'b'. If it is, done. If not, it has to be the 'other' letter. This method purposely avoids saying the word 'd', which requires them to decide between the two letters and often adds to their confusion. The first page describes the rule....the second page is fo

I am afraid to look. I may see the Ankle Grabber, watching me. Any second, its scaly hand could shoot out and grab me. Instead, when I look, I see something else’s eyes staring back at me. Suddenly, I stop. I feel the large hands, cold and rough, grabbing my ankles. They grip me hard and pull me with a sudden whoosh! I feel myself sliding along the bedroom floor.

Importance of learning English language arts

English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners. They are the foundation for all other types of learning as students must rely on ELA skills to master content from other subject areas and communicate what they’ve learned.

Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
