Instructional Ideas

  • Place worksheets in plastic sheet protectors, write on them with washable markers, and reuse for the next small group
  • Take a brain break; recite chants to continue the learning process while taking a pause in current instruction 
  • Reinforce classroom routines; invite learners to describe steps using sequence words 

Classroom Considerations

  • Some curriculum material referenced is not included; with modifications, the remaining activities can still be conducted 
  • Although the unit was created as part of the Houghton Mifflin English language arts curriculum, it can be implemented on its own, or with another curriculum of similar topics 

Pros

  • The unit is easy to read and follow
  • Individual lesson plans are written in detail 

Cons

  • None
