“I am a sucker for a read aloud with a fun craft. My district did not have a curriculum for many years and so I would always do things like this and then use the craft for "Fun Friday" with my kids and they loved it! This is so great because of all the great differentiated options for kids. I also loved how much content there was for an anchor chart to teach explicitly.”
