Frogs and Toads ... Distance Learning and Literature

Find it here.

This resource was created for You as you support Your students from home.

The resource includes PPSlides as well as Slides compatible with Google and Google Classroom.

Students will begin by reading informational text about frogs and toads.

They will complete a compare and contrast page using a graphic organizer.

Next students will see two charts sharing the life cycle of a frog and a toad.

The first activity has them making a flip chart sharing the life cycle of a frog with pictures and writing.

The second activity has students finding a difference in their life cycles.

They will then write about if they would rather be a frog or a toad.

Poetry is also included in this resource.

Students are asked to find information about the frog and toad using the text in the poems.

Arnold Lobel is the author of the Frog and Toad storybooks.

Your class will read all about him and then make a poster sharing facts about Arnold Lobel.

The next slides has students learning a little bit about Frog and Toad characters and how they are FRIENDS.

Students will then prepare a paragraph about friendship using the organizer provided.

The resource ends with a math activity...Let's Hop which encourages skip counting.

Reading, Writing, Word Work and Math all in on slide presentation.

**Note:

The Distant Learning resources are meant to encourage lessons online. They are not editable and students cannot write on them.

Students use notebooks or paper pencil.

I have worked and worked to fix sharing the link but it continues to break down so the easiest way to get the programs:

1.Open you zip file

2.If you wish to use Google go to your Google Docs and upload the Slides.  These can then be put into Google Classroom.

3.If you are sending a Power Point presentation open the PP.

I use Google Classroom and in the note part welcome students and share what we are going to be doing today.  I include links to stories and videos about the topic.

Frog and Toad...Author Arnold Lobel

Who does not LOVE Frog and Toad?

No matter the age these are timeless stories.

They teach of friendship and sharing which always warms my heart.

Lower level readers enjoy them because they feel like they are reading chapter books!

There are three adorable crafts for posting.

The vocabulary is colorful and fun for posting.

There is also author information on Arnold Lobel.

Each chapter book begins with a page for students to identify their favorite chapter and share why.

I like to do this before reading and say what attracts you about the chapter's title.

Then there are comprehension and writing activities that accompany each book.

Due to the size of the slide I could only show a few for each book.

Word work is focused on vocabulary from the stories.

Syllables, Rhyme, Parts of Speech, Antonym/Synonyms, Making Words, Definitions, ABC Word and a Word Search.

I included science in  this packet.

There is a mini book on Frogs and Toads...identifying characteristics, life cycles, diet, definition of amphibian.

There is a life cycle activity for both the frog and the toad.

There is a compare and contrast page with cut and past features.

All of the Frog and Toad stories can be found on YouTube.
