Move and breathe through a childhood classic. The Napping House by Don and Audrey Wood has been a favorite story in my classes for years, and with a librarian’s suggestion, I brought it to life through yoga for the first time in 2012. Now accompanied by our beautiful illustrations, we can use this yoga sequence to promote a lifelong love of learning, reading, and healthy habits.

Each of the characters in the story is paired with a yoga pose, and each page adds another character in order. As the sequence builds, the poses come together in a beautiful flow. Do the poses as you read, or read and then do the poses—whatever feels the best to you.

This lesson plan is a perfect resource for teachers, parents or clinicians who want bring the story to life with movement. We’ve included a story script and a list of poses so children can learn the yoga sequence.

The Napping House Literacy Integration is a 14-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
This download contains the following:

• The Napping House Lesson Plan designed for kids ages 4-10

• List of yoga poses, props and key themes that relate to the story

• Story script to read along with The Napping House

• Guided relaxation, meditation script, crafts, and group activities

• The Napping House yoga sequence poster, with nine (9) poses

With love from my heart and my team to you!

This is a novel study to go along with Kate DiCamillo’s Novel Because of Winn-Dixie. This product includes completed lesson plans for each chapter, a Google Slide Show for each chapter, Doodle Notes for each chapter, and an End of chapter activity for each chapter. Students will practice analyzing characters and character traits, central idea, supporting details, creating summaries, Problem and Solution, Cause and Effect, Comparing and Contrasting, and building discussion skills!

A large part of this novel study is discussion-based. I have included a slide on the slideshow where you will put your classroom expectations for discussions. There are also times for the introduction to the chapter, you will start with a whole group discussion. (I would maybe recommend turn and talks if you use groups in your classroom)

The Lesson Plans and Google Slides are editable for you. You can edit them on Google Slides and/or Microsoft PowerPoint (I would recommend Google Slides because that is the app that it was created with). **The standards are not included in the lesson plans due to each state having their own standards**

This is a movie watch along to go with Pixar's Wall-E! While watching the movie, students will focus on the sequence of events throughout the movie. They will take doodle notes of the major events in the beginning, middle, and end. Then they will describe each of the events in writing. Finally, they will put 5 major events into chronological order, (an event bank is provided).

**Doodle notes are notes that students take where they doodle down the content and ideas instead of only writing like traditional notes***

This is a great product to help keep students engaged and focused while watching the movie while also getting practice on events and sequence. I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a 3 day sub plan/E-Learning Days packet that includes activities for ELA, Math, and Science. Each day includes 4 ELA activities, 2 Math activities, and 1 Science activity. (21 Total Activities)

In ELA, the students will practice inflectional endings, parts of speech, Creative Writing, and Comprehension questions.

In Math, the students will practice place value, number sense, and addition/subtraction with/without regrouping.

In Science, students will practice Season and Weather, Parts of a plant, and What animals need to survive.

This product is no prep! So all you need to do is print off the packets (or assign them virtually), and for comprehension, either choose a book for the sub to read on that day, or have students read from their independent reading books.

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a movie watch along to go with Pixar's Wall-E! While watching the movie, students will analyze the Point of View the story is told from, and Eve's attitude towards Wall-E. Students will have to identify which point of view (1st Person, 2nd Person, or 3rd Person) the story is told from and describe how they know. Then they will describe Eve's attitude towards Wall-E at the beginning of the story and how it changes throughout the story and what events cause those changes.

**Doodle-Notes - While watching the movie, students will take notes on events that help them identify the POV and attitude at the beginning, middle, and end. Students will doodle their notes instead of just writing like traditional note-taking. This is to help students develop note-taking skills and keep them on task.**

This is a great product to help keep students engaged and focused during the movie and practice their reading comprehension skills. I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a movie watch along for Wall-E. This product focuses on main idea and theme, along with supporting details for both. This is a great product to help keep students on task during a movie day and also a great assessment for main idea and theme.

This is a physical escape room to be completed after reading the Lorax. Students will answer comprehension questions for their clues along with spelling some sight words and vocabulary words. It all ends with them unscrambling letters to make the door code.

This will take some prep. You will need to print off all the clues (which I included some options already) like the gloves and the watering can. You then hang those up around the room for the students to find. Have a stack of clues by that item so students can get their next clue.

I would recommend having the students complete this in groups no bigger than 3 or 4. Each group will need a clue sheet so they can keep track of their clues and also provide you with answers. This also has the area where they will provide the door code. You will also need to provide the timer for the students. I recommend putting it on a projector board so all the students can see the time.

You start off by showing the students the intro message from the Lorax, then you provide the groups with the clue sheets, and Clue # 1.

If you would like to do a virtual escape room, I also have created one to go along with The Lorax.

I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a movie watch along to go with Pixar's Wall-E! While students watch the movie, they will focus on 3 story elements. They will use adjectives to describe 5 characters of the story, they will also analyze and describe the 2 main settings of the story by drawing and writing about the settings, and they will order the events chronologically that they happen in the story (an event bank is included).

This is a great product to help keep students focused and on task during the movie and great practice for story elements. I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

This is a movie watch along to go with Pixar's Wall-E! While watching the movie, students will analyze the characters in the movie, using adjectives to describe 4 of the characters. Students will also analyze the changes that happen in Wall-E from the beginning of the story to the end and describe the events that cause changes in Wall-E. Lastly, students will talk about the impact that Eve has on the story.

This is a great product to help keep students focused and engaged during a movie. I really hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review!

This is a movie watch along to go with Pixar's Toy Story. Students will answer questions about main idea and theme while they watch the movie. This is a great product for a fun Friday, and even a quick assessment of main idea and theme.

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

Special Thanks to Julia Sunrain Graphics for supplying the Toy Story Clip art. Go check out her store!

This is a watch-along activity to go with the movie How to Train Your Dragon. Students will start by taking doodle notes as they watch. Then they will list the major events in the story.

Doodle Notes: This is a great way to allow students to visualize what they are watching/reading. Instead of writing what they see, students "doodle" what they are seeing/hearing. This is also a great accommodation for students who might need support with writing.

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

This is a movie watch-along activity to go with How to Train Your Dragon. Students will identify the main idea of the movie and also the theme. They will need to provide supporting details for the main idea and the theme. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

Students will complete the story by filling in the blanks with the correct sight words. There is a word bank to help with spelling, but students will use some of the sight words multiple times. This would be a great product for morning work and even a quick assessment. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.
