The activities in this packet are designed to go along with any of your favorite Back to School books. Some of my favorite books that complement these activities are:
First Day Jitters
If You Take a Mouse to School
Curious George's First Day of School
The Night Before First Grade
David Goes to School
Froggy Goes to School
Have You Filled a Bucket Today?
The Tattle Tale Tongue
Harold B. Wigglebottom Learns to Listen
Listen Buddy
Rocket Writes a Story
How Rocket Learned to Read
Rocket's Mighty Words
Mean Jean the Recess Queen
How to Lose All Your Friends
These activities can be completed independently or in a small group. Your students can use the response sheets after reading independently or after a shared reading. The response sheets would also work well in centers too. And, the activity sheets in this packet would be great for your fast finishers!
The word wall cards would be great for students to use as a reference when they are writing. All you need to do is print, cut, and add these words to your word wall or writing board. Your students will have so much fun using these words in their writing during this busy season!
In this packet you will also find other resource printables that reinforce those Common Core State Standards for ELA. Again, you can use these activities for whole group work, place them in page protectors for small group activities, or place them in centers. They would also be great for fast finishers!
And last, Bookworm! Your kiddos will have so fun much practicing their blending skills while playing this card game. They won't even realize they are learning!
