Teaching Through the Craziness

How was your summer vacation? Students love the book, How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Mark Teague. I have created a complete five-day reading lesson that includes a mini-lesson on sequencing, the text with comprehension questions, vocabulary with activities, and a quiz. These plans connect reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and writing. There is also a Google Slide link so that you can project this to your class. I hope your littles enjoy this as much as mine do! UPDATED QUIZ

This Google Slide presentation is the perfect complement to your third-grade government unit. These slides also cover Georgia state government. Included in the presentation is a song, video links, a read-aloud book link, and sorting activities.

This digital binder will help you streamline your lessons and save you a little time - of which we know there's not enough of. Behind each group page are five blank planning pages - enough for a week. I did add some extras at the end.

At this point you have a few options, you can either print them to archive into a binder
