It’s simple, visual addition practice that’s perfect for beginning first graders! 🍎➕🍎 You’ll get 30 task cards that come 4 per page in both color and black and white, plus recording sheets and answer keys.

✏️❤️ “I don’t know what to write about!” If you’v ✏️❤️ “I don’t know what to write about!” If you’ve taught first grade writing, you’ve probably heard that a time or two! That’s exactly why I created the second unit in my First Grade Writing Curriculum—Narrative Writing a little differently. Instead of asking students to come to school with an experience to write about, WE CREATE THE EXPERIENCES TOGETHER! 🙌 Not every child has had the same opportunities or experiences outside of school. When we create a shared experience right in our classroom—a STEM challenge, craft, game, seasonal activity, or other hands-on experience—every child has something meaningful to write about. It creates a more even playing field, makes writing more inclusive, AND gives students the background knowledge and vocabulary they need to tell their stories. ❤️ This 8-week guided Narrative Writing Unit walks you step-by-step through a 20–30 minute daily writing block. Each lesson includes explicit instruction with matching Google Slides™ or PowerPoint slides, paper-and-pencil writing activities, literature connections, posters, anchor charts, rubrics, writing center extensions, modifications, enrichment, and more. Students participate in fun shared experiences with themes like spiders, pets, snow, owls, gingerbread, STEM challenges, crafts, and games and then use those experiences as the springboard for their personal narrative writing. ✏️📚 "My students loved using this resource for writing. It aligns perfectly with step up to writing curriculum. Highly recommend! " “LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! these writing lessons. It makes teaching writing so much better. Students have I do, we do, you do. So much practice. So much guidance. So much learning! So well organized! Kids can follow along, I can even leave it for a sub and it still gets done correctly because the lessons are so simple but sensible! I love the included read alongs. They are a GAME CHANGER in teaching littles how to write like experts!” 💬 Comment NARRATIVE and I’ll send you the link! LinkDM *778*
