This can be used as an introduction or review of making inferences. This graphic organizer can also be modified for differentiation and use with many levels.

This is a packet of rigorous questions that correspond with the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker: Space nonfiction chapter book. This can be used for small group independent work in upper elementary for lower level students or as stations for on grade level students in the lower elementary grades. The book is a level M guided reading level.

Guided reading questions to guide students while reading.

This was designed to be used after a unit on Esio Trot by Roald Dahl as an extension activity. Students will research a type of tortoise and make a PowerPoint using the outline provided. This can be easily modified to use for any other type of research project too!

This STEM project corresponds to the book "A Lion to Guard Us." The task is to create a family crest for the characters of the book using TinkerCAD design software and print on a 3-D printer. This project is also easily adapted to meet your technology needs.

This novel correlates well with the beginning of Virginia Studies and the travel from England to the Virginia colony. As a historical fiction novel, there are so many opportunities to be cross curricular. This is a rigorous packet with short answer questions to guide reading in a small group, but it could also be used whole group as well!

Students will use the book "How to Catch a Turkey" as inspiration to build a maze and code a robot to navigate through the maze to catch the turkey at the end.

This STEM design brief is designed to accompany the novel "A Lion to Guard Us" but could be used with another book or as a simple sink/float STEM project.
