“When Spring Comes” Literacy Integration Lesson Plan
By Lara Hocheiser
The story, When Spring Comes by Kevin Hikes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek, is my daughter’s favorite book year round. It's the perfect story to explore the transition from Winter to Spring. When reading this story to children, they become overjoyed to see the nature and animals related to the springtime. They love to pretend and act out the meaning of the story.
Use this lesson plan while reading When Spring Comes. This is the perfect way to integrate physical activity and mindfulness into storytime. Each page can be brought to life with our yoga sequence and our beautifully-illustrated yoga cards teach children how to do each yoga pose.
When Spring Comes is filled with imagery, alliteration, and repetition. Through this book, we can teach children these valuable literary devices through facilitated discussions, group activities and extension exercises included in this lesson plan. Also included are coloring pages, crafts, breathing exercises, mindfulness activities and more!
When Spring Comes Literacy Integration is a 24-page PDF download that you can view on your phone, tablet, computer or print to paper.
When Spring Comes Lesson Plan is designed for kids ages 4-10 and includes:
Charlotte's Web Novel Study - Lesson Plans Included
By A Teachers Sidekick
This novel study goes along with E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web. You and your students will go chapter by chapter. Studying the characters, setting, events, point of view, adjectives, text structures (Cause/Effect, Compare/Contrast, and Problem/Solution), and more. It all ends with a watch along with the 2006 live-action movie and a project comparing the movie and the book.
Things that are included in this product are: Completed Lesson Plans for each chapter (also a blank one that is editable), Google Slides to go with each chapter, Doodle notes prompts and organizers for each chapter, End of Chapter activities, Movie Watch Along activity, Assessments, and a Rubric for the project.
At the beginning of each slideshow, there is a review of what the activity will be focused on for that chapter. You might need to teach your students that skill. But this product spiralizes. So you will cover skills, multiple times throughout the read.
Everything that is included is editable for you, so you can make it fit for your classroom! This could also be used as a digital activity (Slides and End activities) by using the Google Slides Add-ON Peardeck.
In the lesson plans, I did not include a standard because each state has its own standards.
Thank you for downloading my product! I hope you enjoy it. Please consider rating and reviewing this product and my store.
Terms of Use: You may not copy, reupload, or share this product with others.
