Dollar Deals and Book Discoveries You'll Love

Hi, friends - happy weekend to you!

Are you a HUGE fan of GREAT DEALS like we are?  Well, if you are, you are in for a treat!  We are starting a new series of resources to provide week long lessons for your classroom all around a book that we found for $1!  

The first book in this series is Mr. Wrinkles, and we found it for $1 at our local Dollar Tree!  In honor of SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY—we're pricing our new resource at only $1 for Saturday and Sunday, November 24-25th!

Written by Robert Pearce, illustrated by Jacqueline East

Use this 30+-page resource as a stand-alone literacy component to support your students' work on comprehension, vocabulary, writing, and MORE!  Or, you can also use it for centers or stations during your literacy block.

Here's what we've included:

• 5 comprehension graphic organizers:
  • theme - this one is so tricky for kids many times, so the more practice they get, the better they are able to identify themes
  • sequence of events
  • story elements - character, setting, problem, solution, beginning, middle, end
  • five-finger retelling - a critical skill to help with summarizing
  • making connections - connecting this fun text with their own lives and other books

• comprehension questions (and answer key) - perfect as a culminating comprehension qui

• vocabulary practice:
• vocabulary cards and definitions
• vocabulary graphic organizer for students to record words and meanings
• vocabulary mini-book
• vocabulary quiz - another possible culminating activity

• STEM project - create an elephant using marshmallows

• snack ideas - ants aren't the only thing that can be on a log

• craft activity - make an elephant using our template and a party blower/horn

• two writing prompts and fun paper for students

That's enough to last you a week - and your students will be engaged and learning and sharing a piece of literature throughout it all!

Well, jump on this link and see what all is included and grab your #SmallBusinessSaturday $1 special!

Small Business Saturday is a way to promote shopping your local small businesses, and while our small store on TpT might not be local, we love promoting small businesses everywhere, so why not give you a true bargain to celebrate?

{This book is also available at libraries and online stores, and there is even a video of Daddy Reads reading this book aloud on YouTube, if you'd like to share it with your students in that manner.  If you use Google Classroom or Seesaw, or one of the many Learning Management Systems currently in use, just grab this video link and assign it to your kids so they can read and reread it online - great for building listening comprehension and for sharing with families.}

Thank you - happy reading!
