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! :)
