Making a List and Checking it Twice







             


      Today’s product spotlight is actually two products. Here are a couple checklists for introducing Common Core Standards. 
 We have a 3rd and 4th grade list available for download for a dollar each! 
          
    These easy-to-use checklists allow you to enter a date and see at a glance when you introduced or covered a standard in an easy-to-read format. 
    It is always a good idea to make sure that you are always ready to give an account for when you covered a particular standard in your classroom to your principal or Director of Educational Services. Check them out today!

Return of the Homework Machine Book Study



            Kids think that having a machine to do their homework for them would be an awesome idea! Well the students in the book Return of the Homework Machine thought so too. In the book The Homework Machine a student named Brenton, who has a genius level intellect, has created such a device and at first things go well, then strange things begin to happen to he and three of his classmates as they use the machine. . The events of the sequel take place shortly after the events in the original. This book study has 20 pages of comprehension questions, extension activities, and even an End-of-book Exam to see if the students were truly paying attention. I have also included a copy of the Simple 6 rubric to guide you in the grading of the writing portion. Check it out!
