Classroom Scratch off Lottery Tickets

So I was stalking Pinterest recently and found these classroom scratch off tickets.

I decided I wanted to see if I could try my hand at them myself. I am SUPER happy with the results and decided to do my own little tutorial!

The Cast of Characters (supplies you need):

For the actual scratch off part you will need:

acrylic paint

dish soap
small containers for mixing
paint brushes

I used Martha Stewart paints

You need to use two parts acrylic to one part dish soap. I did not measure and just eye-balled it and it turned out fine!

I created a lottery ticket with prizes my kids would want and printed and laminated it (So I can use them over and over). ***Tip: When I make my next set I will vary the order the prizes go in so kids are not able to memorize the order.

I used Frog Tape around the edges I wanted to paint, but for the next three cards I just painted by hand...it was soon much faster and easier!

Here is how they turned out!!!

Say what? Inference Oops

So I got my first cold of the teaching season. It is too early in the year to call in sick because I am trying to keep my routines and authority in place. I have been barreling through with this cold all week. We started learning about inference this week. For the most part it has been going well. We read "Made out of Meat" and then made inferences about the story. The story is a conversation between two beings and their discussion about these beings they have just encountered who are, "Made out of meat." The reader needs to infer that the being having a conversation are aliens and the beings made out of "meat" are humans. An adaptation of the story if you are interested: At the end of the story the aliens decide that they are going to, "Pretend like no one is home," and leave without making contact. One of the inference questions I asked my students was, "Why were the aliens going to pretend like no one is home?" One block of my s...
