FREE MISC. LESSON - Color Flashcards Extended Version!

by La Profesora Frida

1st - 12th Grade

This is an UPDATED version of "Color Flashcards" that I posted, which is also a free product. The other version was downloaded more than 915 times, so I wanted to provide you with an extended version with 14 updated pages of questions! FREE! :D

I know how hard it is to think of questions to ask on the spot when I want to practice colors with my students. It's so nice to have a list of questions in front of me to refer to so that I don't waste time trying to think of some good questions to ask! I added on to the previous free version of this product and included questions about world flags and used some clip art about Spain as references for writing practice.

Enjoy! :)

Minds in Bloom 100 Followers Giveaway - Everybody Wins!

Now that Minds in Bloom has 100 followers, I thought it would be fun to do a little promotion/thank you. 


Here is how it works. You get a free product of your choice (anything $5.00 and under) from my TpT store just for following this blog and my facebook page. It is my little way of saying thanks. 


Here is what to do:

1. Become a follower/friend ("join") Minds in Bloom on the right sidebar. If have already done this, thank you! Skip this step. 
2. "Like" my facebook page. If you have already done this, thank you! Skip this step.
3. Go to my TpT Store and pick something that you want. If you want to follow me there too, that would be nice, but it is not required for the giveaway. 
4. Email me at mindsinbloom101@gmail.com and tell me your user name and what product you want. 
5. I will email you back with your product attached. That's it!

The giveaway ends either on Friday at noon Pacific time or when I have given away 100 products, whichever comes first.

About my TpT Store:

I create ready-to-use worksheets and activities primarily for grades 2-6 (although I do have a few resources  for K-1 and secondary). I have over 100 products and most of them are priced under the $5.00 limit for this giveaway. I am a top seller on TpT and my products are highly rated. There are resources for Literature, ELA, Math, and Creative and Critical Thinking as well as Classroom Management. 


Just a little Update: I have given away 20 products so far. A few people have asked about leaving feedback on TpT for the products they received. Unfortunately, this is not possible since the site only lets you leave feedback if you purchase the product. However, I would be thrilled if you left feedback for some of my free products. I have a bunch of them and anyone can rate a free product. The easiest way to find them is to go to my store and sort by Price - (ascending), no keyword.

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - Individual Genre Reference Page

by Hilary Lewis

1st - 3rd Grade

This page is great to help young children learn to choose a variety of books and it is simple and easy for them to use. I print enough copies for the entire class in color. I then put the reference page into a sheet protector that goes into a durable, plastic folder for each child. (I keep the folders with the reference pages for next year's class so I don't have to copy from year to year)... 

You could also cut them apart and put them on book bins to help you organize your books by genre.

I also have large posters that go along with this sheet. You can post them in your classroom library to help organize your books.

The students refer to this page when they write down the names of books that they have read. They also graph their reading so they can see if they tend to read from the same genre too much or if they do a good job of reading a variety of materials. It is also a good way for me to monitor their reading and allows me to make suggestions based on what they have read.

Thanks!

FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON - Paper Bag Book Report and Rubric

by Krystal Mills

6th - 9th Grade

This is an awesome alternative to the standard book report. Students enjoy this form of assessment. It is adaptable and easy to assess. I have included a 4 point rubric for both the paper bag book report itself and the oral presentation (you may or may not want to do this as a part of the assessment). The focus of this report is on the plot, characters, theme and setting. Conventions are addressed, as are speaking and listening outcomes. The rubrics are multi-purpose in that that could be used with other book reports/projects - they're not just a one time deal.
