Dig Dig Digging (Reading, Writing, and Art Activities)

Dig Dig Digging is a story in the Reading Street curriculum by Margaret Mayo. This Smartboard activity shows students kid-friendly pictures of various machines in the story as well as other machines not mentioned in the story. I use this Smartboard activity the whole week that I am reading Dig Dig Digging. Students read the simple sentences and talk about various machines. I have also linked videos about machines. At the end of the Smartboard lessons, students enjoy making some of the machines using construction paper and writing a sentence about the machine they made. There are red and blue lines on each slide that are perfect for modeling sentence writing. My students LOVE this activity! This lesson is easy to edit to your liking.
