Dollar Spot Deals: June 30

There's few things that teachers love more than strolling through the dollar spot in Target while sipping on a lil coffee (or big coffee....no judgement here). The summer seems especially equipped for teachers who are on break and thinking about the upcoming school year. Obviously, I am no different. I want to share with you some fun resources I think will be great for my 4th grade classroom!

 1. United States felt map ($5)

2. 50 Great States info book ($1)

3. Division and Money Fun practice cards ($1 each)

I am especially excited about the United States felt map! My 4th grade Social Studies curriculum is all about U.S. regions and states and capitals. I love that this felt map is colorful, interactive, and very visual. This fact book contains state name, capitals, nickname, flag, and a fun fact about each state. A quick and easy reference for students curious to learn more about the states.

Why I love this felt map: it comes with landmarks attachments! We study the states by regions, so this would be perfect to introduce the landmarks as we go through the regional studies. It will be a great visual reference to keep up in the classroom all year long!

The division and money practice cards are dry erasable and will be perfect for math centers, early finisher activities, or small groups! Dry erase is instant engagement for 4th graders!

I'm linking up with 4th Grade Frolics for a linky party called Monday Made It!

It's time to get organized for 4th grade Language Arts! (If you missed the post about Editable 4th Grade Pacing Guides for Math click HERE.) These editable pacing guides with 4 different versions to fit your needs are the perfect tool to map out your instruction and match it to the standards your school/district requires.

Based on my school system's standards and language arts curriculum, I've identified these units that should be covered in 4th grade:
1. Sentences
2. Nouns
3. Verbs
4. Adjectives
5. Pronouns
6. Adverbs
7. Prepositions
8. Poetry
*9. Writing

*In order to break up the writing units and have a diverse writer's workshops throughout the year, I planned a writing unit at the end of each grammar unit.

In this product, there are 4 different pacing guides to meet your classroom/planning needs.

Editable 4th Grade Pacing Guides - Math

When I moved grade levels to 4th, I was the only teacher in my new grade level (hello, small private school!) and confused as ever! I had no idea what skills to cover, how long it should last, or what order to go in - it was all very overwhelming for this Type A teacher. 2 years later, I've come up with a pacing guide to help organize my math instruction and planning.

Based on my school system's standards and math curriculum, I've identified the math units that should be covered in 4th grade:
1. Place Value
2. Addition/Subtraction
3. Multiplication
4. Graphing/Probability
5. Division
6. Fractions
7. Decimals
8. Geometry
9. Measurement

What's great about these pacing guides is that they are made any way you want them! There are 4 different versions to suit your needs:
