These cards are meant to be placed on a blank timeline.
These presentations form the basis of children’s understanding of physical sciences and the beginning of their study of chemistry. The lessons involve observation of the behavior of particles when they come into contact with each other. To give scaffolding to this understanding, tie back to the First Great Lesson whenever possible.
I wrote a blog post for tips on setting up your science experiment shelves here.

Four suggested activities are included so that you can get the most out of this material.
In the Second Great Lesson, the Coming of Life, the story of how life began and evolved is introduced to children. The lesson is accompanied by the Timeline of Life which is then available to the children as a reference material for reflection, research and hands on work. I have spent months remaking this iconic…

These command cards accompany the Grammar Box Material (but can be used as a stand-alone activity) and are meant for students to ‘act out’ grammar to really experience it.
Any time you take a number another time you are making multiples. The child has already had indirect experience with multiples through the work with chains, and multiplication, so we need now to bring to awareness the principles they have been employing all along.
Children first experience the verb as an “action word.” These presentations introduce another superpower of the verb: its ability to tell time! Actions may disappear at some point in time; some are not constant, and actions have differing lengths of time. Our goal is to bring this awareness of time to the conscious level, by further analyzing children’s speech and writing. Children are probably already using these tenses more or less correctly in speech. We are crystallizing that existing knowledge with a name and a conceptual understanding, so that children can more consciously communicate with intention, expression, and clarity, and so that they can better understand the words of others.
Mushroom hunting is one of my favorite things to do with my students- mycology is such a rich field of study! Like with botany, the students get a lot more out of the field work if they understand the terminology.
This three page PDF lists common prefixes in English with definitions to help with word study.
This prefix word study is more than a matching game. Children learn how to ‘break’ prefixes off a word and then come up with a definition based on the parts.
A problem I saw in other word study programs was that children would match word parts to find words that “sounded right”, but they never learned what the prefixes actually meant. Due to the complex layers of English writing, this is an essential skill for students as they move to more complex text.
