Struggling to fit meaningful vocabulary instructio

Struggling to fit meaningful vocabulary instruction into your day? I created these vocabulary units to save you TIME while still providing your students with meaningful (standards-based) vocabulary instruction. I used these units with my own students this year and I can honestly say that they understand Greek & Latin prefixes/suffixes/roots better than any class I’ve had, and I’ve spent LESS time planning vocabulary instruction.

Here’s the rundown:
• Four units are included in the bundle. Each unit has six word lists (24 word lists total, to last all year)
• Unit 1 is suffixes, Unit 2 is prefixes, Units 3 & 4 are roots
• For each word list, there are corresponding classroom resources, print & digital activities, homework options, and assessments. There are tons of resources for each individual word list so you can keep the routine the same each week, or mix up the activities you use throughout the year! Everything is easily differentiated and editable to fit the needs of your students. I created each activity with the idea that it will fit seamlessly into any classroom routine or structure.
• Each unit includes an end-of-unit assessment that assesses students on all words from the unit. I use this as a cumulative assessment at the end of each quarter!

Can you tell I’m proud of these? The truth is I am, but I’m more excited for the impact they’re going to have on YOUR classroom and YOUR students!

Still curious about some of the contents of each unit? Comment below and I’ll answer allll your burning questions!

Wanna know my lesson plans for next week? This. This egg hunt is pretty much it 😂

Want to join me?? I have both 4th and 5th grade versions in my @teacherspayteachers store. They cover all math standards for the year AND they’re completely editable so you can change up whatever you need for your students. You could even make an ELA version to review grammar or spelling words!

There is a version included without any Easter clipart to use in case you can’t celebrate holidays in the classroom. You could just tape them up around the room (or even the hallway!) and it would still be just as fun!

Head to the Easter section of my store through the link in my bio to grab your set and get it in your plans for next week!

Struggling to fill your lesson plans with meaningf

Struggling to fill your lesson plans with meaningful, engaging activities as the year goes on? 🙋🏼‍♀️ My FAVORITE springtime activity is a classroom Easter egg hunt! (Or honestly you could put the problems in anything around your classroom 😉)

This resource in my @teacherspayteachers store includes questions to cover all math standards (there are 5th and 4th grade versions) AND it’s editable so you can create a review for anything!

I’ll be using this next week and I can’t wait-I just hide numbered eggs around the classroom with math problems inside. Students search for the eggs, solve the problems, and record their answers on their answer sheets. It’s always a hit with the kids and it gets them reviewing an entire years’ worth of standards in one activity!

Head to the ‘Easter’ section of my store through the link in my bio to grab your set in time for next week!
