Farm Unit Pictures

 

For the last two weeks we have been reading fictional farm stories.  We have been using this anchor chart created by Abby Mullins from the Inspired Apple blog.  My students have been LOVING IT!!  

 

 

~ WORD WORK ACTIVITIES ~

~ Short I Word Sort ~
My students recorded these words on lined paper. But I did include a recording sheet.

 

~ Farm Word Wall ~
Students record words from the Word Wall.  I allowed them to generate words for the extra spaces.

 

~ Farm ABC Order ~
My students used this sentence strip to help them.

 

~ WORK ON WRITING ACTIVITIES ~

~ Animal Describing ~
We used the animal cards to practice the new common core objective:

L..1.5 Define words by category and by one or more key attributes.

 

~ Build a Sentence ~
Students choose a Who Card, a Position Card, and a Where Card.  Then they wrote them in a sentence.  They loved the silly sentences.  This helped my students add detail to their writing.

You guessed it OWLS!!! 

I'm loving Cara Carroll's Camping Capers Pack!  You can find it here.

 

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!!
