March Madness!!!




March Madness!
  It is not just college basketball players who get to have all the fun! Teachers are CRAZY busy in March with test prep, St. Patrick’s Day, upcoming Easter holiday, and more! We have put together some fun activities to help make lesson planning a little easier.  Plus, follow the Rafflecopter link at the bottom of the page to win a $50 TPT gift card and ALL the products listed!


   For many classrooms we are starting to prepare for upcoming state testing. I always break this product out this time of year to help students with multi-step word problems. This product allows the teacher to break students into differentiated groups where students can also present how they solved the problem. This product also works with whole class instruction too.

Countries of the World Research Project (Common-Core Aligned)
   Need to incorporate research writing into your curriculum? This is a perfect product for introducing report writing centered on your student's choice of country. Students will complete their own mini-book about the country of their choice along with an oral presentation. 

Included in this Countries of the World Research project are:
•Teacher Directions
•I Can Statement Cards
•Research Graphic Organizers 
•Final Draft forms
•Parent Letter
and
•Grading Rubric

I have also included several editable pages so that you can customize the project to fit your needs.




  These calculator word fun task cards are a fun and engaging way for your students to practice math computation tasks (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). 
  Do you remember typing numbers into a calculator and then flipping it over to see a word? Maybe you typed in .07734 to see the word hello? Now your students will have the same great memories as they practice math skills, and then check their answers using a calculator. These task cards can be used as a math center, with small groups, for fast finishers, or even as a whole class scavenger hunt. You can use the cards alone, or use the task card answer sheets included. I have included 48 task cards including 24 whole number cards and 24 decimal cards to allow for differentiation. 



Fool’s Gold – Reading Mystery
   This print and go St Patrick's Day Reading Mystery incorporates a range of ELA skills in one. The main focus is for students to read the text carefully, and reread to complete the activities.
Students must complete the tasks after reading each passage to discover clues. Each clue requires students to critically think to decide which suspects they can eliminate from their suspect list. The last suspect remaining is who needs to be arrested for the 'Fool's gold.'   

   There is a Video Hook included for optional use. It has been designed to ask questions about what is going on? That’s when they must read to find out.  It can be viewed here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/St-Patricks-Day-Reading-Comprehension-Activity-Reading-Mystery-Video-Hook-3690768


The Case of The Misplaced Pot of Gold – Math Mystery
   This St Patrick’s Day, send your children on a mystery mission to find out where Leroy accidentally left his pot of gold. Completing math questions is required to unlock clues, which will help narrow down a list of locations of where Leroy’s pot of gold is. There is a video hook for optional use to introduce this math activity. A written story is also included in the PDF case file.
This fun NO PREP activity is available in versions for grades 1-6!
