Very nice product.
I took a chance on this.....I was hoping for something that the student could use independently. But it's created for the classroom where the teacher would speak as s(he) "flips" through the slides.
I'll still use it in my own direct instruction.
I like this, I would love it if I could move things around to match when my kids learn concepts. I don't want kids to have an activity that I would use as a morning work, individual, on-their-own, to frustrate them because this has fractions before they've learned them, or whatever. I had kids who became very frustrated by the fact that they hadn't learned something at the beginning of the year, but it was introduced in this packet. It also meant I had to either do a mini-lesson for them, weeks before something was introduced, or just show them how something was solved when we went over the answers, rather than letting them figure it out, because it was a morning activity. I don't like that about this product. I understand about copyright, however, there are other sellers and products that do allow editing, which I've since purchased so that I CAN tailor to my classes. This was somewhat of a waste of money.
Hello. I hope you will find a use for this in your classroom at some time in the year. I understand your desire to prevent your students from becoming frustrated. I have always found it beneficial to present unfamiliar concepts to my students, as this is representative of "real life". I can assure you that if you do use the first few weeks of the resource as a a guided instruction opportunity (see teaching notes), your kids will catch on in not time and be off and running. Also, please note that an entire 2 weeks is provided in the preview. Best of luck with your school year!
Good resource.
The roles are really clear and the students responded well. I am using these also for information texts.
Definitely not recommended for 4th grade. (I even have the Honors cluster.) The directions on the job sheets are confusing and written with difficult vocabulary. When I tried to ask the seller for support, it was refused. Disappointed.
Hi Jennifer. I am sorry that I cannot offer an editable version of this resource. However, I am more than happy to assist you in implementing this resource in your fourth grade classroom. Feel free to email me anytime. GotToTeach@icloud.com

i downloaded my purchase to my mac and it is asking for a password to open it. what is the password? Thank You
Hello. You do not need a password to open the file. Please open with Adobe reader.
So all the cards in deck 1, set 1 would go in the fish pond face down? If I had aqua in my hand I would ask "Do you have water?" If the answer was no, I would draw a card? Then if a student had aqua in their hand and drew water, they would put them both down as a pair? Could it be used as concentration too?
Hello, Amy! Yes, the game would be played just as you described, and yes, they could be used to play concentration.
Are there directions in the final product for how to play with these cards besides that it’s a Go Fish game, or can you share how you use it? I did see the suggestion to print back sides in two different colors but am not sure how to accomplish that either.
Thanks for reaching out! Yes, there are explicit instructions in the full resource.
Are there blank cards to add your own roots/words to?
Thanks for reaching out! There is not.
How should I set this file up to print? Is the black and white page the back to all the other cards? There just wasn't clarification in the direction. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Yes, the black and white page are for the backside of each card.
How do you play the game? Is it a matching game?
Hello! It's similar to "go fish." There are different size decks students can play with to increase/decrease difficulty.
