Family Tree Templates
Are you looking for a unique way for your students to create
family tree projects this March? Your students will be branching out to learn
about the members of their family as they design their own family trees.
This set of The Giving Tree lesson plans will help your
students complete a creative writing activity based on Shel Silverstein's book. This set includes
an idea web, first draft, final draft, leaf templates, and a grading rubric.
One of my students' favorite projects of the year is this large group project for The Enormous Crocodile by Roald Dahl.
Students write about the 4 clever tricks that the crocodile plans in order to eat the children in town.
For this fun cooperative group project, students work together to describe the two main characters, the problem, and the solution of the story. There is an area on the tortoise templates for students to draw a picture of Alfie.

March is the perfect time of the year for your students to "Think Green" because St. Patrick's
Day is associated with the color green.
This set of environmental teaching resources is designed so that
you can link your language arts and science lesson plans together.
Think Green is a teaching resourcse set that includes a creative writing worksheet on which
students can write an essay about ways to help protect the environment or tips for recycling items that are used in their homes.
This set of environmental lesson plans also includes a recycling sticker chart and an award certificate.
There are 11 pages of printable worksheets in this set of environmental teaching resources:
1. Think Green 5 page bulletin board display banner
2. Think Green creative writing stationery
(color and black and white printable worksheets)
3. Think Green sticker chart
(color and black and white printable worksheets)
Below: This sticker chart can be cut out along the thick black borders so that you have
uniquely shaped recycling trash can sticker charts. There are 20 boxes for students to earn stickers for
performing tasks that are related to recycling or that are helpful to the environment.
4. Think Green student award certificate
(color and black and white printable worksheets)
Below: You can present this award certificate to your students at the end of this
Think Green unit or when they have completed their sticker charts.
I have included a sticker chart in this recycling and environmental set of teaching
resources because I use this incentive chart with my students during the months of
March (Think Green) and April (Earth Day is April 22).
I begin this unit in March to tie in with green for St. Patrick's Day and finish
it in April to tie in with April 22, Earth Day.
During March and April, my students complete various tasks to earn stickers on their
Think Green sticker charts. These tasks range from bringing in aluminum cans from home,
collecting paper in classrooms to recycle, or writing about something that they have
done at home that helps to conserve energy or protect the environment.
I finish this unit on April 22, Earth Day. On this day, our class has a Think Green Earth
Day party. All of the food items for this party are required to be green in color or
healthy vegetables. My students have brought in cucumber sticks, green pasta with peas
and broccoli in it, tossed salads, tabouli, and for dessert I have made green jello.
For our Think Green Earth Day party, we use paper plates (no plastic allowed) and students
bring in their own fork or spoon so they don't throw plastic forks and spoons in the
trash. If my students bring in food to share with their classmates, it has to be in washable
containers which students would bring back home with them.
Although my students were having a party with primarily healthy food, they had a great time and
enjoyed every minute of it.
By talking about how we can prepare for our Think Green Earth Day
party so that we won't have to throw away any plastic or aluminum foil, it made my students
think about how they could follow these same procedures for other similar events.
