Table Team Jobs Freebie!!

Free Table Team Jobs
Table Team Jobs are perfect for putting your students into teams of 4-6. This can help build a class community where everyone feels a part of the group and there is no arguing about who does what. Each team member at the table will have a job to do which will help make your classroom run smoother.

It's easy to do. Find some pockets to tape on each student’s desk. Sometimes the Librarian at your school has some stashed away. Give each member on the team a job card. They put the job card in their pocket on the table and then they are in charge of that job for the week. I had the students change jobs weekly, but I had some teammates that changed them daily. I also had the students switch them in a clockwise fashion. This rotation was fair so everyone had a chance at a job and nobody could argue about what job they wanted next.

The Jobs Include:
Data Collector:
• They collect all papers for the team and turn the papers in to the teacher or basket.
• When passing papers out to students, give the Data Collector the papers to pass out to everyone on the team. This is a lot quicker for you, and they like it.

Table Team Data Collector
Reporter:
• If the team is working on a project together, the reporter does all the writing for the team.
• If the team is working together and need to report to the class, the reporter does the “talking” for the team.
Table Team Reporter
Material Manager:
• They collect any material the team needs to complete an assignment.
• This can include but not limited to: crayons/markers, scissors, science material, textbooks, pencils, etc.

Material Manager
Assistant:
• They help the entire team. They make sure everyone is on task and contributing to the team.
• They can help individual team members.
• They make sure everyone has their name on their paper before the Data Collector collects the papers to turn in.

Assistant
Vacation:
• This one’s on vacation. But if a student is absent, this team member steps up and takes their place.

Prediction Lesson

When we read a story or watch a movie, we are always making predictions about what will happen next. Prediction is a guess about what is coming next. As we continue reading or watching the movie, those prediction are either confirmed or denied. Making a prediction throughout your reading is a great way to comprehend the story. Predictions are important because they help us stay active and it keeps us involved in the story. 
I have a fun making predictions activity or lesson to use in your classroom today. If you're teaching predictions or need a review on predicting, this is a fun lesson to do. You will need the book, "Bark George" by Jules Feiffer. 


 FREE Prediction Lesson
This is a cute lesson on making predictions. As you read the story, students will make predictions on what will happen next before you turn the page. Use the recording sheet to help students make predictions. Not all of our predictions will be right and it's time to show students this. None of them will guess what happens at the end of the story. Click the picture to download this lesson and begin using it today. 
 Free Prediction Lesson Free Bark George Prediction Lesson
Use the Prediction Lesson for any grade level! The ending is a surprise that no one will guess. It helps to show that it's OK that our predictions are not always right. Use the Making Prediction Anchor Chart to keep reminding students to make predictions as they read. When we make predictions it helps us comprehend the story. 

Here is the book: Bark George

Verb Tense Poster -FREEBIE!

Teaching about verb tense can be tricky for some students. The tense of a verb tells when the action takes place. Tense is often shown by how the word ends. For example; plays, played, and playing. Knowing the ending of a verb can tell which tense is being used. It makes it tricky for students because sometimes the verb will change to irregular which will throw them off. There are 3 different kinds of tenses:
 
  • Present Tense- This means the action is happening now or that it happens all the time. 
  • Past Tense- This means the action happened before or in the past.
  • Future Tense- This means the action will take place at a later time, or in the future.

Here is a FREE verb tense poster to hang on a bulletin board or to use when teaching about Past-Present-Future verb tenses. The poster will help students show the past, present, and future of the apple. Click the picture below to download this freebie.

Which One is the Past and Present Verb
