It meets the Common Core Standards for Informational Reading with rigor and brings your classroom joy while reading! Updated with more crafts and symbols see below! My students LOVED this unit! I got 4 parent notes telling me how much they enjoyed hearing their child talk informatively and passionately about Social Studies. One parent said that their child doesn't talk much at the dinner table, and now he won't stop talking about school and symbols! I think it's because the unit is written to be kid friendly and engaging! Here are a few of the Statue of Liberty pages I wrote a week of fluency for the Statue of Liberty too.

I found the COOLEST spider books at my local library last week! Click HERE to check them out. I've been trying to come up with a "research project" of some sort to do with my class and these books are going to work out perfectly. I've assigned research partners and specific spiders to pairs of students. I created a Spider Research Packet for them to use when recording information about their arachnids! I also made a Glossary and Table of Contents Hunt to preteach the vocabulary and to give the class extra practice with nonfiction text features. After they have gathered all of their information, they will write a report about their spider. I plan on walking them through the editing/revising process after they've written their first draft. I made a spider writing template for their final reports. We will end the week with reporting our information to the class, as well as displaying our reports along with Amy Lemon's adorable spider craft! I've uploaded my research packet to my TpT shop. Click any of the images below to check it out! I also finished up a packet for reinforcing plural nouns. It includes plural rules posters, a SCOOT game and Scavenger Hunt, and an assessment. A preview is below. Click on any of the images to download the pack in the TpT store! I've really been slacking in the freebie department lately, so....the first person to leave a comment will get both of these packets for free! The next two people to comment can choose between one of the two to receive for free. :) Be sure to leave me you email so I can send them your way! And last, but not least, we've been working on our Class President Speeches and campaign posters. Click on the image below to download the free template I created for the students' speech writing. More ideas and photos from our election activities will be coming soon!

Election season is upon us! Today I want to share my favorite election picture books with you.
Election day is coming and I like to teach my students about the process. I remain neutral in my political views, but can still have fun teaching about it.
