Huge Aboriginal Unit

Phew, done! Part of our PD recently has been about integrating more Aboriginal components to our planning. So, I created what I needed to do just that! This is a huge unit that encompasses videos, and detailed lesson plans for each of the 12 lesson (57 notebook slides). It has reading, writing, oral langauge, and visual arts all rolled into it. I have included all printables for each lesson. Head on over to my TPT store and take a peek for more details.  Click HERE!

Hi Peeps! I was wondering if you would be interested in a FREE set of partner pairing cards to support oral discusion from student-to-student. 

Summarizing

Happy Tuesday! I feel like I haven't blogged in a long time. I don't want my fellow followers to go without, so here is a quick little summarizing page you can use with any fiction book. I used the 'Somebody Wanted to But, Then...' framework. Don't forget to stay in touch!
