About Enemy Pie

Enemy Pie by Derek Munson is one of my favorite read alouds to start the school year! Not only does this book provide teachable moments about friendship, but students relate to it and love the surprise ending.

It was the perfect summer. That is, until Jeremy Ross moved into the house down the street and became neighborhood enemy number one. Luckily, Dad had a surefire way to get rid of enemies: Enemy Pie. But part of the secret recipe was spending an entire day playing with the enemy!

If you don’t already have a copy of this book in your school or classroom library, you can find it on Amazon .

You can also share this video of Camryn Manheim reading the book. This is a great option for a second reading of the story or for a day when your voice is hoarse from talking. This video is from Storyline Online.

Enemy Pie Activities

This book companion has a large focus on comprehension and vocabulary. This resource has 12 comprehension questions to help guide the discussion as you read. Students can also respond to these questions in writing. To boost student engagement, you might place these comprehension cards into a pie plate and stir with a wire whisk before selecting a question.

Are you reading Enemy Pie to your students? You can use these questions to help guide your discussion.

After reading the book, students can put the story back together with this sequencing activity.

Once students have practiced sequencing the story, they are ready to retell or summarize. There are several different graphic organizers to choose from. Students can also focus on the story with this story elements spinner.

After reading Enemy Pie, students can retell or summarize the story with these graphic organizers. They can also practice story elements with this spinner activity.

For vocabulary, I selected 15 words for this story. Each vocabulary card has a matching definition. Students can play a memory matching game or use the cards in a pocket chart center. To continue working with these words, students can complete the fill-in-the-blanks page or vocabulary match-up activity.

These Enemy Pie vocabulary activities include cards with definitions, a match-up page, and a fill-in-the-blanks practice page.

Friendship Pie Craft

After reading the story, students will write a recipe for Friendship Pie. It’s important to discuss the qualities of a good friend. I tend to help scaffold the information needed to write the recipes and record this information on an anchor chart.
Measurement Words
dash – sprinkle – cup – touch – teaspoon – tablespoon – handful

 

Ingredients
kindness – loyalty – trust – patience – support – laughter – respect – time

 

The Steps
pour – mix – knead – combine – stir – mold

 

Students can pick and choose from the list to write a recipe. This recipe card fits inside of this pie craft. These would look great on display in the hallway.
After reading Enemy Pie, students will create their own recipe for Friendship Pie. The recipe card can be placed inside this friendship pie craft.

Friendly Advice Pie Craft

As I mentioned, this book touches on the theme of friendship. At the beginning of the year I like to give my students scenarios they may face during the school year and ask, “What would you do?” That’s why I added this Friendly Advice Pie craft. Students are given four situations, which open like a pie slice.  Students can write their responses under each flap.

After reading Enemy Pie, you can talk to students about other friendship scenarios they might face. Students can offer friendly advice using this pie craft.

You can grab all of these resources and more in this Book Companion. It has been recently updated to include digital options for some of the student pages, too.
This Enemy Pie book companion contains a friendship pie craft, comprehension questions, vocabulary activities, graphic organizers, and more!
I hope you have found some activities and resources you can take back into your own classroom! If you enjoy this resource, be sure to check out these book activities.

Happy Reading!

It can be scary to try something new! ⁣ ⁣ Soar It can be scary to try something new! ⁣

Soar follows Ramone Ruby-Throat as he gets ready to fly for the very first time. As nervous thoughts run through his mind, other changes start happening, too. His belly hurts, his beak aches, his wings feel bent, and his feet are tired. He thinks it might be best to wait another day. But soon his mother swoops in, acknowledges his feelings, and helps encourage Ramone to take a chance. It isn’t long before he begins to soar!⁣

Kids show their worries and fears in different ways. Often, it can be difficult for them to connect their physical reactions with their emotions. This book can help start that conversation. Not only does this book have a great message that kids will relate to, but the brightly colored images will certainly catch their eye!⁣

Thank you to @hillarydaecher , @schifferkids , and @ponchobird for sharing this book with my family!⁣

That’s right. I can say NO.⁣

No is a very powerful word, but it isn’t always easy to say. Learning to say no is an important step towards setting boundaries and protecting your energy, your beliefs, and your heart. I Can Say No is a great book to show kids that it’s okay, and sometimes necessary, to set personal boundaries to protect yourself, your heart, and your energy. Too often we let the guilt of disappointing someone or hurting someone’s feelings get in the way of what we really want or need. I love that Jenny Simmons has included a page of tips for educators and caregivers in the back of the book. These are a great way to keep the discussion going long after the book has closed.⁣

Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They us Do your kids love building forts? Mine do! They use blankets, stools, and other furniture to make it as big as they can. Then they fill it with their bedding and stuffed animals. Inside, you can find them reading books, playing games, and giggling. I think that’s why I was drawn to this book. This story follows a group of friends as they build new forts to match each season. This book is jam-packed with verbs and will have your kids dreaming of their next fort creation!

When kids want to get involved and make a difference in their community, they might need some help getting started. Books can help! Rise Up and Write It just might encourage and inspire the next young activist. I love that this book includes little envelopes filled with surprises between the pages. ⁣

Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for h Meesha loves to make things, but it’s hard for her to make friends. She doesn’t always know what to do, what to say, or when to say it. So she decides to create her own friends out of materials and items she has around the house. These friends make her feel comfortable.⁣
⁣
But one day, Meesha is invited to a party. It is loud, chaotic, and unpredictable, so Meesha finds a quiet corner to create some other friends to play with. Soon, a boy named Josh asks if she will show him her creations. Even though Meesha is hesitant, she soon opens up and realizes how much fun it is to have a real friend. ⁣
⁣
Making friends is not always easy. It takes time, trust, and finding common ground. I love that this book showcases both the joy and struggles in making and keeping friends. This would be a great book to add to your SEL book collection or books about friendship.⁣
