Analyze the character traits of different types of animated dogs in Pixar's "Dug's Special Mission."  Students will love this discussion.

Analyze character traits using the video short, "Geri's Game."  Students will get a kick out of it and discuss Geri's character traits.

Use the video short "Lifted" to analyze character traits and how characters can change over time.

Discuss character traits by analyzing this video about animated animals crossing a bridge.  Very fun and relevant to the discussion.

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.

In this activity students take simple sentences and use metaphors and similes to enhance their sentences, making them more interesting, entertaining, and more meaningful. Students will become more familiar with what a simile and a metaphor are.

Student names are in bold so that teachers can easily see them and replace them with their own student names. This makes is more engaging and fun as well.

If you would like to purchase the Google Doc version which allows you to insert your own student names please visit the following link on Teachers Pay Teachers.

This is a random three-digit subtraction generator that is

Smartboard friendly, with big buttons. Click the reset values button and the program will generate two 3-digit numbers that students can use to reinforce their ability to subtract.  I use this program to generate subtraction questions and students can use whiteboards to solve the answer.  This can also be used to play games like king of the row or relay races.

This math resource contains 36 numbered boxes that can be used during assessments.  This allows students enough room and the ability to keep track of problems solved during math assessments.

Students will find vocabulary that deals with metamorphosis.  I use this when teaching 3rd-graders about how caterpillars turn into butterflies.
