Did you know that beloved Arthur is also available in CHAPTER BOOKS? ⁠
⁠
My kiddos actually have always LOVED these books, and they are perfect to transition kids from the picture book series to the chapter book series. They are very relatable, usually funny and easy to start because students often already are familiar with the characters.⁠

What are you looking forward to this March? ⁠
⁠
My husband and I got married the day after St. Patrick's Day, so it is always a fun memory for us!⁠
⁠
I love using this book in so many different ways during March, but a top favorite is using it to write about an imaginative day with a leprechaun. Students will come up with very fun and funny stories about what they would do with that magical creature.⁠
⁠
Plus, it makes an adorable bulletin board. ⁠

MARCH was always all about ANIMALS for my students

MARCH was always all about ANIMALS for my students!⁠
⁠
Reading, writing and science were all focused on learning about animals. We even did math PBL about running a zoo.⁠
⁠
During reading, I love to teach students how to research animals using books on Epic. We talk about different habitats each week, then combine our notes into a large presentation that we can share with our little buddies or parents.⁠
⁠
Snag this activity and way more in my March Let's Get Reading pack. All teaching videos are included - so you can just assign and go! ⁠

Are you team dog🐶 or team cat🐱? Personally, its 🐶🐶🐶🐶 all the way over here! ⁠
⁠
I love using this book for opinion writing. This particular book goes through a debate of a dog and cat that are forced to share a room. They can't agree on a thing.⁠
⁠
I love to use this as either a sounding board for students to write about which animal they think is correct and why (before reading the ending of course). ⁠
⁠
I also love to use it to just write about if students like cats or dogs more. Students LOVE to engage in this debate and have a lot to say about it.⁠

Teaching opinion writing and letter writing has never been easier. I love using this mentor text that uses letter writing as a form to communicate. ⁠
⁠
Alex writes letters to his mom with reasons he should get an iguana, and she writes back explaining why those reasons might not quite work out. ⁠

Kids will laugh as the negotiations play out. ⁠

Do your second graders focus on animals?!⁠
⁠
My kiddos LOVE this month long animal adaptation project. You will want to get Sandra Markle's books all about "What If You Had Animal _____"⁠
⁠
Students will research one part every few days, and write an informative piece on why they would want to have that adaptation for their body. Want to move super fast? Cheetah feet are for you! ⁠
⁠
Then, students will compile their writing into a well researched book about their adaptations, and create a fun version of themselves with all of their adaptations.⁠
⁠
This is a great way to combine writing and science.⁠

I love using this to teach opinion writing, because students can persuade you about the best part of them. It can also be adapted to work as informative writing.⁠
⁠
The best part? All teaching videos are already included, so you can just assign and go for centers, independent work, distance learning or home schooling. ⁠

Have you taught opinion writing yet?⁠
⁠
I love all of the fun books that go along with opinion writing. ⁠
⁠
This book is a great way to talk about perspective, and also defending those who might not have someone to defend them. Plus, it is a funny tale that will make your kiddos laugh.⁠
⁠
After reading, make them pick a side. Would you save the ant... or squish it?! The fate is up to them.⁠

What is your FAVORITE chapter book to read aloud with students?⁠
⁠
Personally, I love The Chocolate Touch and Mr. Popper's Penguins. ⁠
⁠
I also love this summary activity because it can work with ANY chapter book. ⁠
⁠
Typically, I will model this the first time with a read aloud. Then, we will do one together in small groups. After, students can start working on these flip books independently or during buddy reading. This is a great and easy way to check for understanding during your literacy centers.⁠
