   LOVE this book...

This book is awesome! It has activities for 7 folktales/fairy tales. Each story has its own mini reproducible book for each child, sequencing activity, art and writing connections, etc. You make a pocket for each out of construction paper and the kids keep all the activities for each story in a different pocket. My kids are loving this! They will have a whole collection to take home and read and retell. Fun stuff! Here is the pocket we are working on this week...

Cause & Effect

Sometimes simple is best...

After a cause & effect unit where we learned about cause & effect in fiction and nonfiction texts, partners chose an "effect sentence starter" and worked together to come up with 3 or more causes. So simple, but powerful. The students thought of some really awesome "out of the box" causes. This is higher level thinking at its best!
