With this novel tie, students complete a project(making a cupboard) and writing activity based on the popular novel, The Indian in the Cupboard is written by Lynne Reid Banks. It's a great novel to have students read around Thanksgiving or just while studying Native Americans. This activity can be done prior to reading the novel or after.

I have taught for 36 years at the 3rd, 5th, and 6th grade levels. Fifth grade is my first love. I teach all major subject areas. In addition to my regular classroom duties, I have taught in a Basic Skills summer school program for many years as well as taught workshops to co-workers in whole language and technology. My other duties at school include being "Teacher in Charge" and Student Council advisor.
