Award Certificate Template

This is a simple template for a student achievement award. It has places for the following information:
School or organization logo
Student name
Paragraph about the award and/or the student
Teacher signature
Date or second teacher signature

Here's an example.

 Read more to see two full-size versions of the blank certificate as .jpegs. I don't know much about the best file type to upload as; I made them in Photoshop and would have liked to keep the capabilities of a .psd file but I couldn't do that. Please let me know if there's a filetype that makes this easier to use.

Remember to print landscape style.

Icebreaker Jenga

I use this game when I'm getting to know a student one-on-one or in small groups. So far, all players from kindergarten to 4th grade have really liked it, and my 4th graders want me to make other versions with questions relating to their lessons. I included 20 questions for each block category, which is probably too many but different versions or knockoffs of this game have different numbers of blocks.

I wrote on one side of each block with a Micron pen, then dotted it with Crayola markers. I will try to add a couple pictures of the finished product soon.

Read more to see the full-sized image of the instructions, and a text list of the questions/ actions I used for my set. I don't know how to attach a MS Word document to my post so I uploaded the rules as .jpg files that should print portrait-style on 8.5 x 11 paper.

Monster Sighting Journal

I'm back after like a 2 year break. I'm finally working in a classroom again and hope to be able to share regular resources. Feel free to request anything, and I will see if I have time to work on it. Thanks for visiting!

Read more to see a template and an completed example of a sheet I made for a couple of 4th graders who said they liked scary movies. The documents are .jpgs that should print portrait-style on 8.5 x 11 paper.
