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 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.

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 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 spring-themed activity to practice beginning Digraphs Sh-, Th-, Wh-, and Ch-.

**Students will need Scissors, Glue/Tap, and Colored Pencils/Crayons.**

Students will need to cut out the center of the flower with the beginning digraphs on them. Then they will need to cut off the pedals. (6 pedals for each digraph). Once they have cut it all out, they will then glue/tape the pedals to which center they belong.

Example: There goes with Th- center.

This would be a great activity to display students' work!

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.

These are 3 worksheets that can be used to practice the parts of speech: Nouns/Pronouns, Adjectives, and Verbs. I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review.

How to Catch a Snowman by Adam Wallace and Andy Elkerton, is a fictional winter story about kids trying to catch a clever snowman. The book lends itself to many ways to integrate STEAM, ELA, Math, and even Science activities to accompany the book. In this product, there are activities centered around STEAM, and ELA. You will need to get some supplies for students to build for the STEAM part and you can either build (or buy) a snowman yourself for the kids to try to trap or have them build one. (I would recommend things like bathroom paper tubes, pipe cleaners, and things like that).

Students will first read the book as a whole class and then focus on some story elements from the story. Once they have completed that, they will begin creating a plan to catch the snowman! (I would recommend having the students in groups). Then once students have completed their plan, they can then begin building their trap to catch the snowman. They will then test it and once they test it, they will complete the form that has them reflect on their build.

I always begin the activities the week before Christmas break as a way to help keep students engaged during the crazy week as they get ready for Christmas. I then return to the book when we get back from break to help refocus my students into the routine of school. I hope you enjoy these activities.

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.

While watching the movie How to Train Your Dragon, students will analyze the characters in the movie. They will describe the character's traits using adjectives. They will also take a deeper look into Hiccup's character and how he changes from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie and what events cause that change. Students will also look at Toothless and how his character impacts the story. 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.
