Reading Graphic Organizer - non-fiction vs fiction

I am using this for R.L 1.5 ccss standard, but it can be used for many standards or lessons - I mean, kids need to know this stuff!  Sorry if you don't have a font or something when you are modifying- sometimes I mix it up just to keep it interesting.  Also, if you download it and can't open pptx files let me know..

Coin Extended Response Math

Here is a first grade extended response for my tier 2 and tier 3 kids.  We have been studying coins for the past two weeks and this is going to be part of their test - my more advanced students will be taking a somewhat more standard test, as coins are inherently pretty difficult for these first graders - which is probably why coins are not addressed until second grade in common core.

Martin Luther King Coloring and Writing

Coloring sheet for Martin Luther King, Jr.  We watched part of a video of "I have a dream," then talked about what are some of our dreams.  The students wrote their dreams and colored the picture.  Always a great lesson!
