MY CART
This 86 page author study focuses on all of Laura Numeroff's "If You Give..." books. These circular texts are favorites of my students. I have even included activities to go with her new If You Give a Dog a Donut book!
The activities in this packet can be completed in as little as one week or as long as a month. It is up to you for pacing. The activities in this packet are of varying ability levels. Pick and choose what works for you and your students.
Activities Included:
Laura Numeroff Chart: This anchor chart can be used to compare the different "If You Give Books."
Writing Prompts: These eight writing prompts can be hung up in the hall or compiled into class-made books. They can be done as extension activities after reading the book or as independent literacy center activities.
Venn Diagrams: These five Venn Diagrams come with picture cards to glue onto the Venn Diagrams.
T-Chart: This t-chart compares reality vs. fantasy for the story If You Give a Moose a Muffin.
Art Projects: Two art center projects utilize following directions to create the cat from If You Give a Cat a Cupcake and the mouse from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
Math Project: Two difficulty levels of this Cat's cupcake math project are included in this packet.
Story Unscramble: This activity goes with If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. It is a bit challenging for first graders. I recommend doing it whole class or only a sentence of it. Second grade and up could do it independently if you provide them with copies of the book.
Listening Center: This packet includes seven listening response logs.
File Folder Word Walls: There are five file folder word walls with pictures included in this packet. They work nicely with the writing prompts.
Writer's Workshop Lesson: The lesson included follows the Common Core Standards. It should be done as a cumulating activity for the author study.
Phonics Activities: There are three simple phonics activities included in this packet. Two word family activities and one initial sound sort.
Alliteration Chart: This chart is meant to help your students recognize alliteration and use it in their own writing
If You Give Mini Book: This book provides an outline for your students to write their own "If You Give" books.

Hi Erica! I love everything I have from you! Thanks so much for being so creative! I teach first grade in Dodge City Kansas and follow you regularly! We are 100% Common Core and are fortuniate enough to have Instructional Coaches that have created a pacing guide for us. I was wondering if you would be interested in taking a look at any upcoming units we have for ELA or Math and creating something to go along with our unit. Right now I usually buy something from TpT (I like the units based around a literature book) to use for the week. I try to pick units that match as many stanards with my pacing guides but sometimes that is hard! We do have basals but they are outdated. We are due for new basals this year but are in the process of going one-to-one iPads so the district isn't purchasing anything new for us. And you know how boring an old basal can be! Drag! Let me know if you are interested. Please don't feel obligated, I know how busy the life of a teacher can be!
Thanks again,
Cami Cook =)

Hi Erica- I just bought your Laura Numeroff Author Study pack. I am so excited to use it next week with my kiddos. However, I happened to notice a typo in the anchor chart. You have "If Give Dog a Donut." Any chance you could update it with the missing "you?" Thanks!

Hi Erica,
I just purchased the Laura Numeroff Author Study and love it. I do have a question. The "If you give an animal" book cover is missing the word give and I can not add it. Is there anyway you could change this and send me the correct cover? My email is liisaaustin@comcast.net. Thank you very much. I am really looking forward to using this in my classroom. Thanks, Liisa

Erica,
I am looking for enrichment activities for a few of my higher achieving first graders. Would the activities in your unit be something they could work on independently or with little guidance?
Thanks,

Yes, they could definitely work on them independently. I suggest having the more advanced students write their own circular texts, while the other students use a fill in the blank mini-book, I provide. I did the math as a guided center in October, your students should be all able to do it independently now. I hope this helps. Have you gotten my Common Core Gingerbread packet? The math is very challenging in it.

On May 3rd I purchased your Laura Numeroff author study and immediately got sick right afterwards and never got around to downloading it. And with the craziness of the end of the year I just now remembered and didn't realize there was a time limit to download. Is there anyway I can get another copy of the download without having to repurchase? Thank you for your help.
