Farm Adventures - A Literacy and Writing Unit


I’m so excited to teach this farm unit!  I wanted to start the year with a farm unit because I knew some of my students would already know these animals.  This is a great way for my studnets to be successful at the centers AND a great way for them to SEE the words they may already know!! 
I have included a fiction and nonfiction book list for farm themed books.  I’m sure there are MANY more out there!! This farm unit included 4 Phonics activities, 3 Vocabulary activities, and 9 writing activities!  

Here is a sneak peak at some of the activities!! 

Build-a-Sentence
Students choose a who card, a position card, and a where card and build a sentence.  Then they record the sentence on their paper.
Creative Writing
Students choose a picture and write 3 sentences about the picture.



ABC ORDER
Funny Farm Syllables
Vocabulary Cards


Short i Word Sort

Also included: Short e and a Short i or Short e

Writing Prompt Pages - Several More in the Unit

3 Tree Maps Students can complete these on their own or with a teacher.  Then students can you these tree maps to create sentences.

If you are interested in this unit you can purchase it here!!
It will be on sale until TUESDAY!!

I will give a FREE copy to the first TWO people that can guess my favorite farm animal!
