This is a movie watch along for Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. This product focuses on main idea and theme, along with supporting details for both. This is a great product to help keep students on task during a movie day and also a great assessment for main idea and theme.

You'll find 10 pages of the same activity. This is more suitable for students who have a foundation of parts of speech, not as a starting point, unless it's to informally assess.

Children will look at the provided image on each page, label it by the noun it is, describe it with at least 2 adjectives (there's enough space for 3), and think of a verb that could correspond to the noun. As the teacher or parent, you'll facilitate and guide as you need to. You know your kids.

Some images may get different responses, even for the noun section (e.g. baby versus person, or penguin versus cartoon). There isn't just one correct answer for some. Just make sure you print these in color and maybe practice one as a class/family as an example.

These Rights and Responsibilities Worksheets are a great addition to your classroom community or social studies unit! This printable resource is designed to engage students in understanding the important concepts of rights and responsibilities. Perfect for upper elementary grades, these worksheets encourage critical thinking and reflection on how rights and responsibilities shape our behavior and relationships.

With two unique worksheets included, each page features organized boxes for students to explore the following elements:

- A clear definition of rights and responsibilities.

- Words that connect to each concept.

- A color, symbol, or image box for visual representation.

- Words that do not connect to each concept, helping students differentiate and deepen their understanding.

I've used these worksheets in my own classroom, and students enjoy the chance to reflect and add their own ideas to make these topics relevant to their daily lives!

Ways to Utilize This Resource:

1. Classroom Discussions: Begin a discussion about rights and responsibilities using these worksheets as a foundation. Students can fill out the worksheets individually or in groups, then share their answers to build a collective understanding.

2. Checking Understanding: Use the worksheets as a quick and effective way to gauge students' understanding of rights and responsibilities. Their responses provide insight into their comprehension of each concept.

3. Assessing Critical Thinking Skills: These worksheets are ideal for assessing students’ critical thinking as they identify connections and distinctions between related and unrelated words for rights and responsibilities. This activity challenges students to think carefully about each concept's meaning.

4. Small-Group Collaboration: Use the worksheets as a cooperative learning activity. Assign groups to discuss and complete each section, then compare their ideas with other groups to broaden perspectives.

A complete and differentiated phonics and grammar curriculum geared toward 1st-3rd grade!

Here's a breakdown of the curriculum:

Phonics:

• Weeks 1-33: Spelling Based on Phonics Sounds

  • Each week focuses on a specific phonics sound. The scope and sequence of the phonics sounds being taught are sequential and build on prior knowledge. Students engage in spelling activities related to the chosen sound.

• Four Weekly Phonics Work

  • Students have four different phonics exercises each week. These exercises are designed to reinforce the targeted phonics sound.

• Three Differentiated Spelling Groups

  • Groups are categorized as Sun (below grade level), Clouds (at grade level), and Moons (above grade level). Each group corresponds to a different level of difficulty. This allows for tailored instruction to meet individual student needs.

Grammar:

• Weeks 1-33: Grammar Based on Common Core Standards

  • Each week focuses on a specific grammar concept aligned with Common Core standards for 1st to 3rd grade.

• Four Daily Edits

  • Students work on four different daily editing exercises. These exercises are tied to the weekly grammar focus.

• Spiraling of Previously Taught Grammar Standards

  • Regular review and reinforcement of previously taught grammar concepts. This ensures a cumulative understanding of grammar throughout the school year.

Overall Structure:

• This curriculum spans a full school year, providing a systematic approach to phonics and grammar instruction.
• Differentiation is a key element, with three levels of spelling groups and tailored grammar activities. This helps address the diverse needs of students.
• The curriculum aligns with Common Core standards, ensuring that students are exposed to and master grade-appropriate language skills.

Suggestions for Implementation:

1. Regular Assessments: Include regular assessments to gauge student progress and adjust instruction accordingly. Spelling lists are included and it is suggested a weekly spelling assessment given to gauge understanding of the phonics skill.
2. Parental Involvement: Communicate the curriculum objectives to parents and encourage their involvement in supporting their child's learning at home.

By incorporating these elements, your phonics and grammar curriculum can provide a robust and engaging learning experience for 1st to 3rd-grade students.

The graphic novel, Click! Kayla Miller is great for children ages 8 - 13, as they can relate with the characters. My students enjoyed this book because it is a book about friendship and finding where they belong or where they "click" as they navigate middle school. This book does not have chapters, so comprehension questions were separated by pages. Therefore, written comprehension skills are emphasized while reading.

The comprehension questions in this product relate with the text as well as students own experiences. Vocabulary words, their meanings, and a few example sentences are presented in the packet. As the book is being read aloud, as students are reading the book or after the book has been read, students can answer the comprehension questions in this packet.

Answer key is included at the end of the product.
