5th Grade Classroom Management Handouts

Bundle together five dynamic New Year's resources for an enriching learning experience in your middle school classroom. Here's a brief overview of each component in this comprehensive package:

New Year's Informational Text Set: Structure, Central Idea, Author's Purpose!
A collection of five diverse articles, each exemplifying a different text structure like Description, Chronological, Problem and Solution, Compare and Contrast, and Cause and Effect. This set focuses on Times Square New Year’s celebrations and includes STAAR-aligned questions on the central idea, author's purpose, vocabulary, and text structure.

Classroom Synergy: Resetting Expectations in the New Year – 4 Engaging Activities!
Kick off the new year with four activities designed to reinforce classroom expectations and promote a positive learning environment. This resource includes expectation role-playing, creating expectations posters, and connecting expectations to SEL with reflective writing prompts.

Global Bites: New Year’s Celebrations and Food Traditions – Inquiry Based Learning
Explore New Year's traditions and food customs from around the world with this inquiry-based learning project. This resource encourages research and presentation skills as students delve into diverse cultural celebrations and their unique culinary traditions.

Cheers to A New Year: How to Write A Toast Workshop
Enhance public speaking skills with this engaging workshop on crafting toasts. Perfect for New Year celebrations, this resource guides students through the process of writing and delivering a meaningful toast, fostering both creativity and confidence in public speaking.

Spill the Tea: 2023 Year in Review – Google Slides Photo Project
A fun and engaging Google Slides project that allows students to reflect on the year 2023. Students create a photo-based presentation, capturing key moments, trends, and personal experiences from the year, making it an excellent activity for New Year reflections.

This bundle is perfect for middle school teachers looking to add a mix of educational and engaging activities to their New Year curriculum. Each resource is designed to be cross-curricular, supporting skills in reading, writing, research, public speaking, and social-emotional learning.

Remind students of classroom expectations in a way that doesn't embarrass or publicly call out students with these discreet behavior management cards that are the perfect addition to any classroom behavior management plan. This bundle includes 360 themed behavior cards designed to encourage positive behaviors while shutting down negative behaviors in your classroom or small group activity. 

This bundle includes motivator cards you can use to acknowledge students who are doing what is expected of them. The motivational cards are a bit of extra encouragement that helps foster a positive and optimistic mindset in students. The impact a compliment can have is amazing.

The modifier cards are to be used when students are off task or misbehaving. You can drop the appropriate card off at their desk (upside down so as to not embarrass the student) as an easy way to let students know they need to modify their behavior. This strategy gives students the chance to self-reflect on their behaviors without drawing too much attention to the situation or disrupting class time.

This Bundle Includes:

• Ten Packs of Behavior Cards (36 Cards per Pack)
• 18 Modifier Cards to Redirect Behavior (per pack)
• 18 Motivator Cards to Encourage (per pack)
• 9 Blank Cards (per pack)
• 360 Behavior Cards Total 

This bundle is broken into 10 packs of cards with various themes for the months of August-May (June and July are not included as students are typically not in school during this time frame). The pack for August is generic and can be used year-round. 

Keep your classroom management plan fresh and your kids engaged by switching out the behavior cards monthly. The cards have a different theme for each of the months. Statements on the cards are occasionally repeated in separate months.

Simply, print, laminate, cut apart and you are ready for classroom or guidance lesson use!

Teachers, Counselors, Social Workers, & School Psychs Like You Said:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kimberly K. says, “I used these at the end of the 2016-17 school year (in 3rd grade) as a way to ramp-up behaviors and try something different at the end of the year and it worked wonders!!  The students couldn't tell if their neighbor was getting a "good" card or a "re-direct."  Worked like a charm!!  Tip: I laminated the cards and sorted into two piles and put one pile in a pocket, so it was easy for me to hand out.  At the end of the day, students put their cards back in a basket on my desk so I could re-use them the next day.  I can't wait to use them again this year!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Catherine P. says, “Great way to give students behavior feedback.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Deborah S. says, “These cards are exactly what I needed! I love that there are a variety of cards for each month to help keep the cards interesting for students who can be prone to lose interest quickly. I separated the cards into two stacks and clipped them with different color binder clips to quickly identify the redirection cards and the motivational cards. Thank you for creating this superb product!”

Don't have the time or patience to put together a sub binder? Don't worry! When I have to step out, all I leave on my desk is any work for my students and place this Sub Note sheet on top....it's everything my sub needs to see on one easy note sheet. Fun, tear-off reward tickets that students can redeem for a small prize when the teacher returns will have students fighting to behave in order to earn one of the five coveted tickets!

WHAT'S INCLUDED...

12 Printable Worksheets

Each set includes...

► Task 1: Read and Highlight a Figurative Language Passage

► Task 2: Write a Similar Figurative Language Passage Using a Checklist

► Task 3: Figurative Language Analysis Graphic Organizer

► Answer Keys

The Four Figurative Language Short Passage sets have 3 close reading and writing worksheets each - for a total of 12 high-quality worksheets! *Answer Keys Included! Figurative Language Short Passage Sets are a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. Each passage has between 206-226 words and is filled with between 14-19 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! These figurative language passage sets are rigorous, use higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing.

• Sub Note Sheet with tear-off reward tickets for good behavior!

***CHECK OUT THE PREVIEWS FOR MORE DETAILS!***

Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!

*As an optional review activity, use my No-prep Four Corners Figurative Language Activity resource for a fun whole-group review game, then simply leave these sub plans whenever you are going to be out!

Activity:
Students can complete all three worksheets in each set as part of a sub packet, but if you don't see them for a full block then assign only one page each day you're out (you'll get even more bang for your buck!) If you teach allusion, alliteration, idiom, or onomatopoeia, you can ask students to include those in Task 2 where they will be asked to continue the passage using a similar writing style. I have left some blanks on the checklist for this very purpose.
