Back to School Sale, An Update and A New Product!

It's so hard to believe that the summer is slowly coming to an end and fall is right around the corner. I'm super excited for the Back to School Sale at Teachers Pay Teachers.

Along with the Back to School Sale I'm also putting everything in my store on sale. I've been busy working on some new products and updating some old products.

My new product is a unit that goes along with the newest book by Mo Willems, The Pigeon Needs a Bath.

 I love this book! This unit is what I have been working on for the past week and I'm finally done. Yay! I plan on using it the first couple of weeks back to school.



To introduce the book I plan on putting a bar of soap into my mystery box. In my unit, I have included labels to put on the mystery box to build student interest when they see it. My kiddos get very excited every time I bring out the mystery box. I try to get them to ask yes or no questions to figure out what is in the box. I made this activity page so they can make an inference and draw what they think is in the box. Then I gave them question words to help them come up with yes or no questions. Then they draw a new inference. We then open the box and the mystery is solved! This is a favorite activity every time I do a new unit and I'm lovin' my new activity sheet to go with it.



 Lots of activities included in this unit such as, a sink and float experiment, word vocabulary cards, addition game, show the number, journal prompts, graphing and so much more.



My updated unit was my farm book. My farm book was fun to make but I needed a lot more so I added on.




I added How to Make Butter, graphing, labeling, journal writing, read and write the room, compare and contrast, fact and opinion and lots more!
