Five on Friday

1.  This resource was actually inspired by MHES third grade teacher, Carmen Sitton who is the "selfie queen!"  However, actually kids love selfies too.  Use this template in reading to highlight a character in a book.  Use it in social studies for students to report on a historical figure.  Or you can use it in science to introduce a famous scientist.  To use the resource, please click on the image and then from the menu, File->Make A Copy.

2.  Many years ago a teacher asked me to create a smartboard lesson which would provide challenges to see how many total gifts were received during the Twelve Days of Christmas.  Last year I turned this smartboard challenge into a Digital Breakout.  Can your students do the math? You can have your students complete one challenge a day or you can do it all at one time.  Last year I sent it out each day but some teachers wanted to do it all at once so this year I am leaving the decision up to you!  I hope you enjoy it!

3.  This link is shared by Gail.  It provides three ways of presenting a YouTube video so that students cannot see the comments.  Let me know if you need help with it.  I love the idea of NicerTube.

4.  This is another resource found by Gail.  Each day this folder has a pixel art that students can complete.  It has a PDF grid that you can print out and color using crayons, markers, or pencils with younger students but you may wish to have older students open up a Google Sheet and do this digitally.  I would love to help with some!  Just let me know.
