Calendar Days/Story Starters

A Calendar Day on the front-- a Story Starter on the back!

Story starters are sentences or phrases that help students get started writing a short story or paragraph. Many, but not all, relate to the month or season (e.g., "My favorite winter sport is..."). On any given day, a teacher can go to the calendar, turn over the piece for the day, and find a ready-made writing assignment!

Teachers who buy all 12 sets not only have calendar days for the whole year, but also have dozens of writing ideas! 36 per pack.

Convenient, useful learning tools that decorate as they educate! Each chart measures 17" by 22." Related lessons and activities are provided on the back of every chart.

What's hot this month? Technology products! We have two great new series that are sure to be invaluable for teachers who must keep their students up-to-date in an ever advancing technological world.

Computer Projects includes twenty teacher tested lessons per book with step-by-step instructions. The lessons cover word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations.

Internet Literacy is a new series written by award-winning middle school teacher Heather Wolpert-Gawron to address the new internet literacy skills that today's students must learn. Practical activities such as collaborating and contributing online; guarding safety, privacy, and ethics; and using reliable research methods are included.

Here's a way to teach the same grade-level content to students with varying reading skills! Each passage is written at three different reading levels and subtly marked with a below grade level, at grade level, and above grade level icon. All of the students in the class will be able to read the texts and answer the six questions designed to measure their comprehension of the material. Passages cover grade appropriate content in science, geography, history, and language arts.

This series is available for Grades 2-6.
