Teachers That Give

November 26, 2016

I’m so thankful you have chosen to stop by today. I’m teaming up with some fabulous bloggers for this Teachers That Give blog hop! I’m so thankful for the teaching community and am thrilled to have an opportunity to give back. Today I have a new reading craft to share with you and a chance to win a $25 TpT gift card!

As your students are reading and responding to literature this month, you can use this gift craft to keep things fresh and exciting.

 

When opened, these little gifts reveals five spaces where students can respond to their text. I have included lined templates and blank templates which students can mix-and-match.

Here’s a look at how I fold each flap in to create the final product.

And the final product:

Because this is a gift craft, I have also included printable gift tags. These can be printed on colored paper to keep things festive.

(P.S. If you use Scholastic book points to buy books for your students, these could easily be added to your gifts!)

Each of these gifts can be made using 9×12 construction paper and the printable templates. You can also grab 12×12 scrapbook paper and cut them down to size. I used the excess strips of scrapbook paper to create a decorative wrapping to the outside of the gifts.

 

You can find the templates, directions, and reading response ideas for this FREE reading craft in my TpT shop.

 

Now that you’ve grabbed your freebie, you can also enter to win a $25 TpT gift card! This one will end on Friday, December 2nd.

If you’re starting 2021 by making resolutions and setting goals with your students, I suggest sharing Squirrel’s New Year’s Resolution by Pat Miller. This book follows Squirrel around the forest as she learns what a resolution is and helps her friends get started on theirs. Swipe to see a kid craft you can pair with this story. I also have comprehension and vocabulary activities for this book. Just follow the link in my bio for more information.⁣

Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet w Winter is officially here! Have you had snow yet where you live? We haven’t, but my kids are anxiously waiting. While we wait, it’s been fun to revisit our favorite snow day memories while reading Ten Ways to Hear Snow.⁣

In this story, Lina wakes up to a blanket of snow outside,  but she is supposed to help her grandma cook that day. Since Sitta is losing her eyesight, Lina rushes to bundle up and get over to her home. Lina wants to make sure her grandma is okay and knows about the snow outside. On the way, Lina explores the city muffled by snow and discovers ten different ways to hear snow. ❄️⁣

During one of the worst snow storms of the year, a little girl and her family settle in for the night. They build a fort by the fire and enjoy a picnic-style dinner. Later that night, the little girl makes a wish on her snow globe. The next morning the family wakes up to a winter wonderland outside. ⁣

Snow Globe Wishes has a great message about slowing down, enjoying the simple things, and bringing a community together. It would be perfect to share while getting cozy on cold, winter day!⁣

In this latest book, Danny’s headed to the water park with his family. Throughout the day, he’s faced with a lot of important decisions to make. Will he be fair and kind, show empathy towards others, keep himself safe, and take responsibility for his actions? That’s up to the reader to help Danny decide! ⁣
⁣
Growing up, I loved reading choose-your-own-adventure books because it was so much fun getting to decide how the story ended. Now my own kids get to experience that same reading magic with these Power to Choose books from Ganit and Adir Levy. My kids are bound and determined to read every single one of the 9 different endings.⁣

Have you read any of the Danny or Darla books yet? If so, do you have a favorite?⁣
