Air & Weather Freebies, Day 3 – Songs & Poems

Welcome to Day 3 of the Air & Weather freebies! I’m so glad you are back for more.  In case you are just joining in on the fun, you can read about Cloud Activities here and find Games & Art Ideas here. Today’s focus:

 

 

I love integrating these songs and poems into our unit.  They come in handy when something doesn’t go as planned.  Kids ask to read  their books with partners during Daily 5, in the hallway while waiting for specialists, and even if we pack up a minute or two early (rare occasion, I tell you).  They are also great to leave for a sub because they are easy to work with.  Oh, and you can be a terrible singer like me and your students will still think you’re a rock star!

Happy Teaching!

Songs and poems are a great way to add excitement to your Air & Weather unit. These free songs and poems can be used with your whole class, in small groups, or to help students build fluency. They can be easily placed into a booklet, too.

About a year ago, I came across a book called A Boy Like You and fell in love at first read. So you can only imagine how much I have anticipated the release of A Girl Like You. It’s finally here and I’m so excited to share it with you!⁣
⁣
The world is full of stereotypes...especially when it comes to gender. Each and every girl is unique and deserves the right to follow her own dreams. I love that this book encourages girls to find their passions and talents, embrace what makes them unique, choose kindness, be their own advocates, take care of their hearts, and more! Swipe through to see a few of my favorite pages.⁣
⁣
I am so grateful for another beautiful book that has captured my heart. The author’s note and writing activity in the back of the book are an added bonus to maximize the book’s message. This book is a must-read! ... See MoreSee Less

While I love my name now, growing up it was not always my favorite. I did not like being teased about it. “Tell me a story, Storie!” or “Is your middle name Book?” or “Is that your REAL name?” A name is a huge part of our identity. Each student in the classroom has a special name. It is our responsibility to learn AND respect each and every name. This includes how to spell and pronounce them. There are a handful of books written that celebrate the beauty, history, and magic behind names, but Your Name is a Song is a new book by Jamilah Thompkins-Bigelow and Luisa Uribe that needs to be shared.⁣
⁣
⁣
After spending a day at school hearing her name being mispronounced, a little girl tells her mom that she doesn’t want to return. In response, the mother teaches her the musicality and magic behind a wide variety of names. Empowered with this new knowledge, the girl returns to school the next day ready to share what she has learned with her classmates and teacher.⁣
⁣
⁣
This book not only has a beautiful message, but the illustrations are gorgeous. I appreciate that the author has selected a large variety of names to celebrate, but has also taken the time to include a pronunciation guide and meaning behind each name. This would be a wonderful addition to your classroom, school, or home library.⁣
⁣
⁣
Be sure to check out Your Name is a Song by @authorjamilah and @lupencita . Thank you to @theinnovationpress for sharing this book with my family in exchange for an honest review. ⁣
