Brown Bear Unit....FINISHED!

Stick a fork in me, I'm done!  I know.....2 posts in one day, but I'm sooooo excited about this one!  I finished my first literacy unit today.  My eyeballs are about to fall outta my head, but I think the work was well worth it. 50 pages of engaging learning!

sentence strips for retelling

memory game

I stuck with literacy activities.  Based on everyone's favorite choral reading book....Brown Bear by Eric Carle.  There are 6 activities included:

a take home story for emergent readers, just copy front-to-back & fold; no cutting!

retelling props with sentence strips

sentence scramble + recording sheet

go fish game for color word identification + recording sheet

concentration game for letter identification (uppercase/ lowercase)

and a read the room + recording sheet

story retelling props

take home story

lots of recording sheets to assess learning

I've also added a labeling packet to supplement this unit.  It gives early learners practice with spelling, vocabulary, and writing! This packet includes 19 pages of color and blackline masters; for use in whole group, small group, or at your seat practice.  

I'd love it if you'd take a look...there's a small preview file for you to check out.  My next project will involve Brown bear's more "sophisticated cousin,"  Baby Bear.  This one is aimed more at my firsties.  It has the same predictable text, but introduces "fancy" animals....flying squirrels, prairie dogs, rattlesnakes, etc.  

 

So, that's my soapbox for the night.  You can check out this unit in my Teachers Pay Teachers store, along with all sorts of other resources.  And remember;  fancy,  sophisticated Brown Bear coming soon!
