Jonathan London has done a perfect job in this story to share this fictional character FROGGY on his first day of school. Your class will giggle and recognize several activities that are similar to their first day.
FLIP FLOP!!
There is a paper pencil resource as well as a Google Slides presentation ideal for distance learning or a literacy center.
Check out the slides.
They include typing as well as click and drag.
If you have a white board these are wonderful to do as a whole group or place it in your literacy center for literacy enrichment.
The resource begins with students recalling key events in the story using sequence words.
Next students read about Froggy being a fictional character and answer key questions about the story they just read.
Students will read about the author Jonathan London and then have fun sharing about Froggy's dream and the author's purpose.
Froggy's day may be similar to their day so students will write about their first day...beginning, middle and end.
Froggy LOVED his name tag and saying his name. Students will look at their name and identify syllables, vowels, consonants, number of letters.
The resource ends with some addition and subtraction problems to solve with Froggy.
I absolutely adore the craft!
Take a peek at the updated activities.
There is even vocabulary for posting.
I am so excited about this "back to school" packet.
It has everything needed to get you ready to "hop" into the first week of school.
