📢 Want to establish good classroom volume habits B 📢 Want to establish good classroom volume habits BEFORE the noise gets out of control? 🙌 Back to school is the perfect time to teach students exactly when, where, and how loudly they should be talking—and Decibella and Her 6-Inch Voice by Julia Cook makes that conversation so much more fun!

🍎 September just feels like APPLE season! 🍏 I lov 🍎 September just feels like APPLE season! 🍏 I loved learning apple facts in September, and so did my students! How Do Apples Grow? by Betsy Maestro is a wonderful nonfiction read-aloud for turning all that apple excitement into meaningful reading comprehension and informational text learning. 📚 Students learn fascinating facts about apples while exploring fiction vs. nonfiction, facts and details, captions, diagrams and labels, new vocabulary, schema, misconceptions, and more. They also get plenty of opportunities to go back into the text, find information, ask questions, and share their new learning. 🔎🍎 One of my favorite parts is taking a closer look at how an apple tree changes through the seasons. Students can sequence and write about the seasons and then create an Apple Seasons Craft to show what they learned. Add the “Awesome to the Core” letters and you have an adorable September bulletin board! 🍎🌳 There are also vocabulary activities, opinion writing, apple picking writing, and even a survey, tally, and graph activity to extend the learning across your day. This unit is part of my Reading Comprehension with a Purpose Apples Fiction & Nonfiction Week, making it easy to turn September apple fun into a week of purposeful learning! ❤️ 🍎 Comment APPLE or CORE and I’ll send you the link!
