Oh wow I am so excited for this month’s Books Teacher’s Love Post!! We are talking all things MARCH today! As you know from reading my previous posts, I love using meaningful activities relating to each monthly book I choose.
This month I chose, Fiona’s Lace by Patricia Polacco. O-M-G what an amazing book! It is the sweetest story about working hard, moving to America, and how family is the MOST important thing. I love a story that teaches academics as well as other things my students desperately need to learn.
I plan on using this book to talk specifically about problem and soluton! It is the perfect story for that, there are even many different examples of it in the story! If you have visited my blog before you probably know I am a lover of flapbooks! My students just eat them up, and I pretty much ALWAYS feel like they master whatever skill we are working on! You can GRAB this freebie here!! 🙂
Another activity I plan on doing with this story is having my students practice using context clues to figure out Irish Lingo word meanings!! Using context clues is a tough concept for some of my third graders, but I KNOW they will get a kick out of trying to figure out the meaning of words like wee, lass, and frocks!
Like I mentioned above, I LOVE any chance to teach other important things to my students. For example, like last month when we talked a lot about kindness in and out of the classroom. This book is great at teaching about family. How can we better help our family? Why is family important? I decided to have them write about these things as they think on them!
You can see all these activities here!! 🙂
