Safe to say I’m obsessed with this Among Us-inspired Find the Imposter activity! My premade version is for fifth grade math, but I have a separate, completely editable version listed in my teachers pay teachers store as well! Your students will work as crewmates to find the imposter problem on each card. (the problem that is incorrectly solved, or the question that is incorrectly answered!)

It’s labeled and ready to go, all you have to do is fill in the questions you want your students to answer. The answer key and secret code at the end will work as-is, as long as you type the ‘imposter’ question in the labeled spot!

This would be super easy to use with questions from the textbook or questions from worksheets-just plug in the content and you’re ready to go!

Find the fifth grade math version and the editable version in my tpt store through the link in my bio! Best part? They’re both on sale today for 25% off!

Anyone else starting to circle back through the standards to prepare for state testing? 🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m trying to pull out some things we’ve done already, but add a twist for some practice & review.

I’m planning to do this figurative language sort next week - either whole class or in partners! Each slip of paper has a sentence, and students have to sort it into the correct pocket according to the type of figurative language it contains.

BUT in order to bump it up a notch here’s what I’m doing - I’ll give my students some blank slips of paper and have them each write their own sentences containing the different types of figurative language. Then they can trade with a partner, or I’ll jumble the slips up and pass them around, and VOILA! Tons more practice with zero prep.

Find this sorting activity in my teachers pay teachers store through the link in my bio. It’s 25% off right now!

Started our end of the year countdown today! Origi

Started our end of the year countdown today! Original idea is from @miss5th but here’s how ours works:

• Each balloon has a student’s name inside. I pop one balloon each morning, and that student is the special student of the day!
• Basically the day is all about that student. They get to sit in a teacher chair, use special supplies, be the line leader, choose our lunch movie, etc.
• The whole class also takes turns writing what we love about the student on a small poster board, that I then laminate and they get to take home!
• I also give them personalized sunglasses as part of their end of the year gift when it’s their special day. I just use my @officialcricut and vinyl to put their name on colorful sunglasses from amazon!

This is one of my favorite things, and I’m trying to have even more fun with it this year since we never got to do it last year!

Want your students engaged in writing? Tell them to prove that video games are good for you!

This prompt and tons of article links to use are part of my informational essays bundle on @teacherspayteachers. I use these prompts throughout the year with my fifth graders to have them practice pulling evidence from the text into their writing!

Teaching in a hybrid model soon? I wrote this blog

Teaching in a hybrid model soon? I wrote this blog post back in the beginning of the school year about how I structure vocabulary instruction with a hybrid schedule! This sequence was a serious lifesaver when we were hybrid the first part of the year. It’s been getting looots of clicks the last few weeks - I’m guessing from teachers going to hybrid from virtual! 🤷🏼‍♀️
