Cemetery Experience--"The Graveyard Book"

Our school is located across the street from a cemetery. We decided to tie in a visit to the cemetery with our study of "The Graveyard Book". This is intended to be an educational partner activity.
This is a good activity to help reinforce respectful behaviors.
Paperless Picture of The Day Morning Meeting Work Digital Resources
By Professional Development and Teacher Prep
Do your students need highly engaging morning meeting digital resources or a picture of the day to start off their morning? Morning Meeting Picture Slides are important to utilize to develop strong relationships with students and peer-to-peer relationships. The picture of the day allows for deeper conversations and the building of a strong classroom community, which in turn raises academic achievement skills. The digital resource has many diverse pictures where everyone can feel represented.
How I Use Picture of The Day
We use a picture of the day every morning during our morning meeting routine. The morning meeting slides are projected on our screen for all students to see. Students are asked to infer, visualize, synthesize, and create connections with the picture. Looking closely at a picture is an important reading skill for students to develop to create inferences about what they are reading.
Additionally, The picture of the day can be used for writing prompts or centers. Students can look at the picture and write a story based on the picture.
This is also an excellent resource to use with your remote learners. You could assign one or more morning meeting slides to their learning management system for morning meetings and writing or reading activities.
“Morning Meeting is an engaging way to start each day, build a strong sense of community, and set children up for success socially and academically.” -Responsive Classroom
“Morning meetings are an excellent way to help students transition from home to school and help them get ready to learn. In addition, these meetings can help you connect with your students, help students build relationships with each other, and promote an overall sense of community in the classroom.” -Centervention

FRENCH Phonics Decodable Reading Activity Packet-SOR-Activités Décodables
By La trousse de Madame
Decodable Reading Activity packet includes a variety of activites for French teachers. Quick and simple K-2 reading fluency activities that are decodable and aligned with the Science of Reading. Fun and engaging French resource targeting those learning in the French Immersion, Core French, or modern language programs. Build a strong foundation in French language with educational resources specifically designed with your students in mind.
As I got into using these decodable reading passages in class, the students guided me to stretching out the resource even more to create a cute little packet for them to do a lot of the work on their own.
What's in the pack?
There are 4 original texts that explore complex sounds in French
Target sounds include AN/EN, ON, OU, OI
Text 1: Blanche
-le son AN et EN
-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).
Text 2: L'hérisson Tonton
-le son ON
-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).
Text 3: Lou le hibou
-le son OU
-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).
Text 4: Le poisson Éloi
-le son OI
-3 variations: a) text with decodable and heart words with comprehension questions with the target sound; b) text with decodable passage with writing lines so students can encode, write responses, or practice writing target words; c) decodable text with target sound with a box provided for students to create a picture to show comprehension (we do picture and label for beginner writers).
How we use this in class:
My students now know that we read the passage first together as a group. We decode. We explore. We segment words. Blend them all so we are confident.
Next, we do activities with the sound blends themselves. Using a highlighter, students race to find all the target sound words in the text. I don’t know about you but my student LOVE highlighters! After that, students used the lined window to write all the target sound words so they’re sure they have them all. Then, we do a little exercise where we try to explain what happened in the story in as few words as possible.
The very last step is to draw a picture of what is happening in the text. Students can do most or all this activity pack on their own in the Grade One and Grade Two Immersion setting. It’s a great way to have them build confidence all while giving you the time to work with small groups at the back of your class!
Who can use this resource:
Teachers who are just getting accustomed to using strategies from the Science of Reading can use these simple texts to open up independent practice, small group evaluation, or up on a digital screen for whole group instruction and reading practice.
Make a set and send them home with students to build fluency in reading and confidence in reading strategies.
Texts are designed to build a number of common French sounds and get more challenging as they go on.
Correction sheet is handy for use with a substitute as they can confidently assess students and command the lesson even when they are not assured of their French skills.
What grade level:
I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from K-3 will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.
Science of Reading:
These texts are aligned with sounds being taught in any Science of Reading aligned curriculum. They are set up for student success based on the research for increasing reading fluency and building student confidence in the classroom!
Once you have established the strategies for identifying sounds, initial sounds, and blending sounds, segmenting sounds, students will be able to use these self-driven passages on their own. What a great way to build learning autonomy!
