First graders brainstorm what they would plant in their own garden (flowers, fruits, vegetables, etc.) and then listen to the Kevin Henkes story, 'My Garden'. After the story, students use their imagination to share what would grow (or be invisible) in their own special garden. After the class brainstorm, students write and illustrate their own version of 'My Garden.' Look for the corresponding lesson plan and Promethean flipchart.

This is a fun lesson for a Bill Peet author study unit. 8 QR code stories are included. Print and cut out the individual qr codes and have students scan them using an iPod, iPad, or tablet. I mount the QR codes on colored construction paper and laminate them for future use. I have found that when there are many QR codes on one page, the students have difficulty scanning the code they want. Cutting them apart makes it much easier. You can also punch a hole in the corner and put them on a ring

Students will track their own reading progress by using an Excel spreadsheet to record the books they have read throughout the school year. The spreadsheet is formatted for the student to include the title, author, illustrator, date the book was read, a dropdown menu to rate the book, number of pages, recommendation, and the call number so their fellow classmates can find it if it is a library book. The number of pages will tally at the bottom. You can make the list longer by inserting rows.
