Book Report Poster
Thank you to Diane for submitting this fun book report poster. It’s 11″ x 17″ worksheet and is great for lower grades (or as an easy project for upper grades). Great end of the year project (present on your favorite book from the year) or as an end of the quarter/semester project.

Discover the Forest (Kids Adventure Packet)
I recently stumbled upon this cool 12-page printable packet for kids. It’s all about nature and our environment. It’s got stuff for animal tracks, bark/leaf rubbings, compasses, water, etc. Go to http://www.discovertheforest.org and click on the Hey Kids picture at the bottom right corner of the page. It will open a PDF for you to print. Happy discovering!
Our Family Garden (grammar worksheet)
I visited with a friend recently who has started their own family garden. Such a great idea! An idea great enough (in fact) to inspire this free grammar worksheet! When kids finish the front, they can turn the page over and write about/draw what they would put in their own garden. Enjoy!
Here’s the last batch (6) of Squarehead grammar worksheets in a Google Doc.
Summer at the Beach (grammar worksheet)
Kids are so focused on summer at this point in the school year, so why not harness that energy and use it to work on grammar? When kids finish this side of the free grammar worksheet, they can flip it over and write about their summer plans. Fast finisher activity? Check!

The Rope Jumper (grammar worksheet)
I love how little kids exaggerate with numbers (like “it’s gonna take me a million years to finish this book”). That was the inspiration for this little jump rope cartoon. Have another free grammar practice worksheet (since you can never have too many)!
Teaching Maps (Younger Grades)
Utah State University publishes a super cool teacher resource through a program called Core Academy. Every summer, teachers can sign up to attend a training for activities specifically tied to the core. It’s pretty rad. So every year, there are new materials published from the summer training course!
I especially love the maps unit for 2nd grade (section 4-3 in this packet).
