This 20 page packet is designed for teachers to use with students, grades 3-7, as they read Lunch Money by Andrew Clements. Included is a 15 page student booklet that is divided into six reading assignments with questions and tasks to go with each one. Provided also is an answer key. In addition, there is a bookmark master for students to keep track of vocabulary words while reading the book and using the student booklet. Created by Jean Martin
The questions and tasks in this booklet cover and reinforce the skills that good readers and writers need. These include comprehension, visualization, point-of-view, summarizing, connecting to the text, and comparing/contrasting. The packet also gives students practice in writing to explain their thinking and to demonstrate their understanding in addition to a creative writing task. The booklet is designed for independent work so that students can work on this in class while the teacher is meeting with another group.
In my classroom students were responsible for completing one reading assignment with the accompanying questions/activities each week. I gave them three, 40 minute periods per week to complete one assignment. Additionally, they would meet once a week with me (or an aide or a parent) and with the other students reading the same book (we called this a "book club" meeting) to discuss the book and review the assignments.
Lunch Money in a nutshell:
Sixth Grader, Greg Kenton, LOVES money and is great at managing it as well as making it. His best idea to date involves making comic books and selling them at school. This plan is well received by classmates, but becomes an issue with the principal. An additional problem arises when his neighbor, Maura, begins to compete with him. In this story, we learn about partnership, entrepreneurship, and friendship.
Appropriate for students in grades 3-7. Reading level approximately 4th grade.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
My 20-plus years of teaching included 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grades in Colorado, California, New Jersey, and Illinois. I've recently retired and now find myself as busy as ever! While I taught I loved creating meaningful and stimulating worksheets for my students, especially literature packets...but finding the time for it was always a challenge. Now I can spend a significant amount of time creating and publishing to help other teachers who are too busy teaching to have time to create as well!
