I'm not sure about you, but I have an account with a long list of websites that require usernames and passwords. In an effort to make things easier on myself, I created this really simple form. There are tons of other free password cheat sheets out there, but I really wanted one that included a box for clues/hints.

 Perhaps I'm overly cautious, but I don't like my full password written out anywhere. In the password box I usually put something like "Pc4#s" meaning the first letter of the word has a capital p followed by the second word that begins with a lowercase c and a pattern of 4 known numbers. My clue would read "my favorite food" and I know that to be "Potatochips1234". Either way, if you download the MS Word format, you can customize the document to your liking or type your information instead of printing and writing.

A few more word problems for students to solve using 
addition, subtraction, multiplication and repeated addition.

I gave this sheet to my students for homework at least twice a week. Every night my class was required to read for at least 30 minutes. I would often give them this 3 question worksheet to quickly assess their knowledge of their book. Keep in mind, several of my students were well below reading level and still reading picture books. This sheet works well with shorter books students can read in one sitting or I'm sure you can use introduce it once readers have completed a chapter book. 

Students are asked to identify each number sentence as either TRUE or FALSE.

Students are asked to solve word problems involving basic 
addition, subtraction, multiplication and division skills.

Directions: 
Read each of the following math problems carefully. 
Re-read the problem to make sure you understand. 
Show your work and circle your final answer.

For this quick assessment, I included the definitions of maximum, minimum and median at the top to remind students of the difference. When teaching special education, I often provided students with just a little more information than usual to help them feel more confident about completing activities. 

Now that you have read the story “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”, think about the author’s purpose of this non-fiction tale. Why do you think the author wrote this particular fable? What moral do you think the author wants readers to learn from this story? Why do you think nobody believed the boy at the end of the story? Use supporting details from the story to support your answer.

In your answer, be sure to:

• describe the author’s purpose of the passage
  
• describe the moral of this fable
  
• explain what the author wants us to learn from the story
  
• explain why no one believes the boy at the end of the story
  

Check your writing for correct spelling, grammar, capitalization, and punctuation.

The Three Little Pigs is about a wolf who wants nothing more than to eat three little pigs. Now, think about the wolf in the tale of Little Red Riding Hood. After thinking about the two characters, tell how the two wolves are alike. Afterwards, tell how they are different. Use supporting details from both stories to support your answer.

In your answer, be sure to

• tell how the wolf in “The Three Little Pigs” is similar to the wolf from “Little Red Riding Hood”
  
• tell how the two wolves are different
  
• use supporting details from both stories to support your answer
  
• check your writing for correct spelling, grammar, capitalization and punctuation.
  

These pages are great for students who have difficulty with spacing and lining up their numbers.

I made this chart to improve behavior management with one of my smaller groups in upper elementary. This is just a photo of what I handed out to my students. The download below is a blank MS Word document ready for editing. I only meet with this group 4 days/week, but the download also includes a template for 5 days. 

I informed the students we would be coming up with a list of rules/guidelines as well as a list of consequences and rewards. Afterwards, I typed up an agreement/contract including the ideas we'd come up with and asked them to sign it. 

Finally, I stapled their contracts to the back of these incentive charts to remind them of the behavior they agreed to. They receive a check-mark for each rule they uphold daily, when they don't receive a consequence and when they are caught being a leader. X-marks are when they are unable to follow the guidelines and when they receive a warning for their behavior. Keep in mind that 3 warnings = an automatic consequence and X-marks cancel out check-marks which is why they are subtracted at the bottom. 

25 points = their choice of one of the rewards we agreed upon (special snacks, lunch with me and a friend of their choice, treasure box choice, etc.) 

I encourage the students to fill out the boxes at the bottom at the end of the week, but it's completely optional. If they are left blank, I sometimes write my own comments for the girls to see the following week. 

I attach a new sheet each week so it's easier to track their behavior and points. My students are responsible for giving themselves checks and X-marks throughout the lesson, but I go back and double check that they have been keeping accurate score. 

Social Studies / Community Studies Lesson that asks students to draw a picture of each community and describe what specific things you can find in each community. 

Responses should be somewhere along the lines of:

Urban Communities have: big city buildings, lots of trains, buses, cars, people, etc. 

Rural Communities have: farms, animals, few people, lots of land, tractors, etc. 

Suburban Communities have: lots of houses, few big buildings, less people than urban communities, etc. 

Hope this helps =)

It's been brought to my attention that there were mistakes featured in this product.

MY APOLOGIES!!!

The first mistake can be found on the matching exercise on page 18 of the Reading and Writing Numbers in Expanded Form, Standard Form and Written Form freebie. Letter D in the document provided the option of 14,000 + 700 + 10 +2, but it should have read: 10,000 + 4000 etc...   

PROBLEM SOLVED! (pun intended)

Just in case you only want the Personal Word Wall

This lesson requires students to round 2 - 5 digit numbers to the nearest Tens, Hundreds and Thousands Place.

Students are also asked to estimate the sum or 3 - 4 digit numbers. 

The lesson also includes the following word problems which ask students to round their answers to the nearest Tens Place: 

1. The students in Mr. Marshall’s class all have different reading books in their desks. Ahmad has 12, Jackie has 7, Michael has 5, Kendra has 11 and Patricia has 6. Estimate the number of books they have in total.

2. Sarah's father has a huge movie collection. She counted 5,458 movies. About how many movies would you say her father has if you round to the nearest tens place?

3. Mrs. King has 44 students in her class. She has more than any other teacher in the school. Ms. Black comes close with 39 students, but Mr. Anthony only has 27. Estimate the number of students in those three classes. Round your answer to the nearest tens place.

4. There are 365 days in a year. Estimate the number of days in the year to the nearest tens place.

This can either be used as a homework assignment, in-class practice, quiz or test.
