Student Passports!

Hey everyone!

I finally finished making a student passport for our country study "travel" day.  Thank you for all of your help with choosing a picture for the cover.  And a special thank you to Nikki from Melonheadz Illustrations for helping me make my picture more professional :).

The passport includes two options for cover pages: blue and grey.  It also includes a student information page with their picture and pages for them to locate the country they are visiting and write something they've learned about that country.  I also left a place for their passport to be stamped when they visit each country.

Here are a few pages from the passport...

You can click HERE or on any of the pictures above to check out the passport at my TPT shop!

This is not all of the pages... I know some of the pictures look repetitive but I promise when you copy it, the order of the pages is perfect :).

Enjoy!

Comparing Native American Tribes- Updated!

Hey everyone!

I wanted to let you know that I have updated my Comparing Native American Tribes!  If you have purchased it in the past and cannot download the updated version, please let me know and I will be more than happy to send it to you!

I realized that not every class studies the same tribes we do.  So I have now included: the Navajo, Pueblo, Apache, and Cherokee tribes.  I've also included a page that is blank at the top so you can write in whatever tribes you study.

Click HERE to check it out! Or click on the picture below!

Here is an example of what is included on each page...

My second graders always love when we do our Native American unit.  They have so much fun learning about the tribes.  I always assign a tribe to each table group.  The students then learn all about their tribe, build an example of one of the houses their tribe lives in, decorate a cut out person to look like a tribe member, and etc.  They also do a poster that is divided into the sections found on the worksheet above.  Students will then share about their tribe and the class completes the worksheet as they learn all about each tribe from their classmates.  They love it!

Enjoy!

Some Freebies!

Here are some freebies from my TPT shop.  If you like them, please check out the rest of my shop and follow me!  I would love any feedback and comments too!  Enjoy!

Primary Vocabulary Page

Find it at:

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Primary-Vocabulary-Page

Posting a different vocabulary word each day or each week is a great way to expand students' vocabularies. Being able to look up a word in a dictionary is a skill many young learners do not have but will need. This worksheet is simple for younger students to follow. They write the word, the definition, draw a picture of what it is/means, write one synonym and one antonym, and they write a sentence using the word correctly. Could use this in a literacy center.

Fact Family Poster

Find it at:

Building a Graph Assessment

Find it at:

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Building-a-Graph-Assessment

Aligned with 2nd grade core content. Students use the data provided to build a graph.  Students can use a piece of graph paper if needed.

Two-Digit Addition Without Regrouping Assessment

Find it at:

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Two-Digit-Addition-without-Regrouping-Assessment

This is a great assessment for 2-digit addition without regrouping. The first few problems help students line up their equations in vertical form by given them a "guide line". The last two problems don't have the "guide line" so students must show they can line up their addition equations in vertical form. You are looking to see if they line up the tens and the ones places. This assessment aligns with 2nd grade core content.

Compare and Contrast Countries Graphic Organizer

Find it at:

http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Compare-and-Contrast-Countries

This document is great to use for a country study. Fill in one side with the name of the country you are studying. The other side says United States. Students can compare and contrast different cultural aspects of the country being studied to ours.
