Don’t stress! The Groundhog is OK, but he
is trapped inside his burrow! Your students must read and complete the
activities to remove the burrow slime.
*The
main goal in this mystery is to encourage reading.
*The
work involved to solve the clues covers skills such as comprehension; spelling;
vocabulary; synonyms; cause and effect.
*Students
must highlight the evidence in the reading to prove their answers.
*The
discovery format requires a fill in the missing letter process to unlock clues.
The
alternative B-Edition requires full answers, but, this means students must
check-in with you or somewhere in the classroom to collect the clue instead.
(Please note, that the groundhog is OK
and is just trapped asleep inside his burrow). Her second resource is the Groundhog Day Math Mystery Activity.
OH NO! Spring might never come if the
groundhog isn’t rescued!
Calling all Math Detectives to solve WHO

Mental
Math -
100 problem cards that encourage your students to solve math problems in their
head quickly!
You can use these mental math task cards as a math warm up to begin your math
lesson, or use as a time filler throughout the day.
Students each have ten digit cards on their desk as you read each card. The
students use the digits to keep track of the math tasks they are computing in
their head. They love being able to follow along with each task and eventually
end up with the correct answer.
I use these cards for whole group, small group, and even partnership lessons.
These mental math problems will increase your students' listening, problem
solving, and computation skills.
Be sure to check the preview for 4 example cards to make sure it is the appropriate level for your students.
Do
your students need practice with capital letters/capitalization? We all know
that capitalization rules, but sometimes our kids always seem to forget where
and when to use a capital letter.
This packet will help your students to learn and remember all of the times that
they should use a capital letter in their writing. Best of all, there is no
prep for you - just print, copy, and go!
The capitalization rules are printed at the top of each page to help your
students recall.

When we visited the Ron Clark Academy, one of the things that really impressed my colleagues and I was the fact that the students were SO well behaved!
My Principal was most impressed with the fact that the students followed essentially the same rules in all of the classrooms, and in all areas of the school. If we could get the students at our school to do the same, we could accomplish so much more!
We put together a plan that involved the students rotating through behavior stations where the school expectations were taught. Students rotated with their teacher as a class, so that everyone received the same information.
We go through these rotations once at the beginning of the school year, and then again when we return from Winter Break.
One of the stations was the cafeteria. Our Dean of Students reminded the students of cafeteria expectations including: cleaning up after yourself, speaking volume, and using manners with the cafeteria staff.
At the Ron Clark Academy during educator training days, students are asked to pair up with several of the teachers to eat lunch together. I was very impressed with the way that the students interacted with us and were able to answer our questions about the school and their experiences there.
I occasionally share lunch with my students so that we can practice these skills as well.
Another station students attend teaches them our school-wide expectation for assembly behavior. During this station, our principal also reviews ideas we learned at the Ron Clark Academy such as tracking the speaker, and staying engaged. She reminds the students that they can use these skills not only during assemblies, but in class as well.
The bathroom expectations station is another important place where we teach school-wide behavior expectations. We have a sign that is displayed in front of the bathroom to remind students of what is expected when they need to use the restroom.
There ALWAYS seem to be problems at recess, so one of the stations focused on a problem-solving wheel that is painted on our building.
The school counselor spoke with the students about coming to the problem solving wheel so that students can learn to solve their own problems. Here is a close-up picture of the problem solving wheel.
In the past year that we have been teaching the school-wide behavior expectations, we have seen a dramatic increase in on-task behavior and a decrease in problem behavior.
