“This resource was so much fun for my first graders! They were really engaged and enjoyed helping make the dessert! It turned out super yummy!!”

“This was a HUGE hit with my students!! They not only learned so much academically but they ate that stuff up!”

“What a great resource! The book was great to use with my PreK students to read and follow the steps of Making Monster Mash. We also really like the sequencing sheet. We did it with the children in small groups. The children LOVED making Monster Mash and were so excited that they could “read” the instructional book.”

This nonfiction unit is filled with activities to teach your students all about squirrels and work on the reading informational text standards. I love to learn about squirrels in November when they are busy gathering all the acorns in our area. It includes a mini reader that will teach them all about squirrels with a matching colorful book with real photos. This real book can be projected via the digital google link, downloaded as a powerpoint or shared as a pdf. You could even print it and put it in your classroom library. There are so many fun comprehension activities to complete after you read the story. You could do the included research project, make a fun squirrel paper topper craft, or complete the word work and writing activities. There are loads of goodies in this resource to become squirrel experts.

“I love when I can use units to compare and contrast fiction and nonfiction resources, and this is the bundle for me to do so! I paired this with your Leaf Thief unit from the Autumn Bundle and they fit so well together! I love that we can read about the silly squirrel trying to find who stole his leaf and then read and learn about actual squirrels and what they do to prepare for winter. Thank you for an amazing set of resources to keep my students engaged and learning all year through!”

I absolutely love to read the story The HalloWiener by Day Pilkey. It is great story to remind your students that kindness is important.

“This is my favorite story... I read it every year. When I saw this resource I was over the moon! I bought this for the craft and had so much fun making the example to show my students. They cheered and couldn’t wait to get started. The additional pieces are an added bonus that helped retell the story!”

“This is one of my favorite Halloween books and the activities were so fun for both my students and I. It really hones in on the CC reading and writing standards (ex. finding main idea and key details, writing narratives, recalling sequence) so they don’t even realize they’re learning because they’re having so much fun!”

Who’s ready for my ALL TIME favorite activity ev

Who’s ready for my ALL TIME favorite activity every year? This fun witch’s brew activity is perfect for HALLOWEEN WEEK. I use this goodie to introduce main idea and details, but it could also be used for writing, math, sequencing or just for fun. You can use the mini book provided to follow the directions to make this yummy snack. While you make it, you will read the song, work on teamwork and end up with something delicious. Your students can also predict, survey, graph, sequence and do a little math with their data. In addition, there is a fun witch’s brew in cup craft and a witch craft along with bulletin board letters, class graphing tools, and differentiated writing ideas. This would also make a fun Halloween party activity for parents to plan. #witchsbrew #halloween #halloweenactivities #firstgraderoars #tpt
