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.
In this 4 day lab, students will become very familiar with the procedures involved in identifying minerals.
Day 1: Students will learn what streak, cleavage, and luster are.
This image was designed to demonstrate how sandstone ends up as gneiss, a metamorphic rock. It follows the sequences of: sandstone, quartzite, shale, slate, phylite, schist, and gneiss.
In this assignment, students will open up a Google Doc, you can have it printed as well, and fill out a table of some very useful industrial ores. The ores that will be researched are diamonds, gold, rock salt, bauxite, iron, and titanium. Students will research which 3 countries in the world are the top producers of each ore. They will then find and write 2 or more industrial uses for each ore. As they are doing their research, students will also use a map and mark where these countries are. This is great to reinforce the geography standards.
Students will have fun researching 5 unique mammals that are funny-looking and just plain strange. Students will discover some interesting facts about each one, learn how to copy and paste a picture into a Google doc document, and some of the mammals' locations.
The mammals are the Javan Rhino, the Cuban Solenodon, the Pygmy Possum, the China Baiji, and the Echidna.
