Little Critter Freebie and Giveaway!

I finished my Little Critter/Mercer Mayer author study! Thanks Amanda, Jennifer, Eva, Wendi, and Cindi for your feedback. I think I made some good changes! The unit will is available at my Teacher's Notebook and TpT stores, but I wanted to give you a sneak peek, give you a chance to win the whole unit, and give you a little freebie from the unit as well.

First up is the SNEAK PEEK! This 17-page unit includes summary conversation cards, a short i hunt page, tally practice with Little Critter's favorite little critters (how's that for a tongue twister?!), writing activities, and more!

Second, a chance to win the whole unit! This Wednesday, I'll choose 2 winners at random to receive a free copy of the unit. Just leave me a comment to be entered. If you blog about this giveaway, leave a 2nd comment for twice the chances to win!

Third, a little freebie from the unit! Click the picture below to snag your copy of the summary conversation cards. In the unit, you use the cards to model the re-telling and then students complete their own re-telling of the story. I'm going to place these at my partner reading station for kiddos to use for a "check for understanding" when they read with a friend. I have Ms. Fiorini's "Fiction Walk and Talk" cards there and my readers LOVE to use them so I know they'll be psyched about these too!

Ok! Happy Sunday! I'm gearing up for a great week. Michigan kiddos will be taking the MEAP this week... good luck WP students! :)

    I am a newbie to your webpages, but I can't quit looking at them, you are amazing, and I've learned a lot from reading your entries (and I've been teaching for 30 + years!) I have tried some of your ideas and they fit perfectly in my room of second graders in Sturgis. So if I could win them, I'd be very excited! Keep up the fabutastic work!

    I, too, love Little Critter. He was a favorite character of my son's when he was little. He's 22 now! I still share those books with my fabulous firsties every year.

    Little Critter is a favorite character full of curiosity. I didn't realize he was 22 years old! I love your products, they make life so much simpler and interesting.
