IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Preparing for any holiday always starts with some read-alouds.  These are a few of my favorite books for St. Patrick's Day. 

Then I love to extend the learning with a thematic unit, MAD ABOUT MARCH. Just look at some of the activities it includes:

There is much more to this unit.  Try it!

IT'S ABOUT TIME for STELLALUNA RESOURCES!

 

STELLALUNA, by Janelle Cannon, is not only one of my favorite picture books, but a unit I love to teach in the fall. For one week, I immerse my 1st and 2nd graders in all things batty.

To that end, I have created Hanging Out with Stellaluna, a thematic unit that includes activities for literacy centers, math centers, writing, poetry, word work, math journal prompts, lots of printable worksheets, and more! This unit is also available digitally on TPT Easel.

Naturally, center work includes bat related activities.  Tangram Puzzles tailored to the story make a fun math center.  

There are 2 phonics centers.  Bat Blends provides practice with consonant blends.

Bats & Bridges is a phonics sort focusing on vowel sounds.  

Both phonics centers are also available digitally on TPT Easel.  

You can get all of these materials in a bundle that will save you 30%!
