  Looking for a Spring Logic Puzzles Bundle for students going on or coming back from spring break? Why not take a look at this one? I'm working on a new product line: logic puzzles! I've always found these fun to do, especially when there's an attached grid for marking off what you've learned from the clues provided. Most people mark the grids using ticks and crosses, but I've found it's very soothing to color in the grid squares using colored pencils. (Now I know why adult coloring books are so popular!)

  St. Patrick's Day Reading Comprehension & Questions includes a quick 2-page reading comprehension exercise and accompanying quiz for St. Patrick's Day. Many of my students don't know a lot about St. Patrick's Day, which isn't a common holiday where I am, so I put together this reading comprehension exercise to help them get a better understanding of the holiday and associated customs. The 2-page, 400-word reading comprehension file covers three topics: History and Origin of St. Patrick’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day Traditions, and Irish Mythology and Symbols of Luck. A vocabulary list is included at the end of the file. The students can then use the accompanying quiz to test their understanding of the reading comprehension file. There's a 3-page printable quiz file that can be printed out and given to students, and a self-checking digital quiz file that can be used for going through the quiz questions with students. There are a total of 15 quiz questions. (Ans...

With February just around the corner, I've already started posting up some Valentine's Day lessons. The latest addition to my TPT store is this Interactive Valentine's Day Escape Room called Be My Valentine . The storyline is quite simple. We have Tommy, who really likes a girl in his class called Emma, and wants to ask her if she'll be his Valentine on Valentine's Day: But of course he can't just ask Emma if she'll be his Valentine. That would be too easy. He needs to do a lot of things, like make her a Valentine's Day card, write a poem, buy flowers, and pick out a present for Emma, and to do all those things, he'll need some help from your students. For example, to make a Valentine's Day card, he'll need to collect some stationery: (While only four items need to be collected here, I usually spend some time going through the English names of the other items with my students too, as they may not know the names of all the things. We also usu...
