Thematic Playlists for Listening Centers or to develop a unit with. Students love these stories. These are great for ESL or to expand background knowledge for poverty at risk students, as well.

Great for the beginning of the year and setting the tone for a great classroom climate for the year. Bullying Stories Other Story Playlists: St. Patrick's Day StoriesEaster Stories Winter StoriesThere Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a.....Stories Valentine's Stories Tips for Teaching: **You will notice routines in place as you teach. One major shift in teaching has been to have the students talk and explain their thinking. You will see that these lessons were planned to work on student's expressing themselves. Suggested organization and getting started are at the bottom of this page. **The essential question is frequently repeated in the handouts and lessons so that students understand the objectives of the lessons. The objectives and essential questions are very specific to the NGSS. ** Student Page Links- Waiting for the class to type in a link can be quite a hassle. Coming Soon....a page to have the class bookmark, so they can click on the "kid link" as you come to it. You can also give the link to parents. ** For any online games, model on the Smartboard/interactive board for students before letting them explore. **The books that I used in the weather lessons are optional. Any books listed below can be substituted with your favorite classroom library book that covers the same content. **Social Studies concepts addressed by this science curriculum include cities/farms, types of homes, places in the community, community helpers transportation, & wants vs. needs,
