5 Paragraph Expository Text  Brainstorming Sheet

I designed this 5 paragraph expository text writing organizer to help my 3rd graders have space to restate the prompt, come up with three big ideas or main ideas, add details as well as cite text evidence and then create a conclusion paragraph.  This has been very beneficial to my teaching nonfiction text writing.

Reflex Math

My district has been using reflex math for about 4 years now and the teachers all concur that it is one of the best programs out there that help build fluency for math facts.  By the time students are done, they will be fluent in whichever program you assign them, whether it is addition and subtraction or multiplication and division.  This program does come with a cost though, but we have found it to be an excellent resource the help build elementary student math fact fluency.
