This packet is filled with standard based activities and this craft.

Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year

Check out this neat Dragon Craft!

Use for a bulletin board, locker or put on a stick for a Lion Dance!

Lots of informational text in three different forms for leveled readers.

You can use this in reading groups.  Have students bring highlighters and as they read highlight key facts in the text.

Then use the Reading for Detail as a form of assessment.

There is also a KW sheet I love having the students complete BEFORE we begin the lesson for the day. At the end of the dat we then see if what we knew was a misconception or if what we wondered was answered.  Have the class use the back of the sheet to write one other new fact they learned.

These two activities can be used after informational text has been shared.

One is sensory and the other is a tradition sort.

The sort encourages reading and recall while the sensory really encourages student thinking.

They can write or draw. 

Finally there is a little math game and a compare and contrast Chinese New Year to our New Year.

There are colorful vocabulary words for posting.

I like to put them in a small pocket chart that can be moved to where they are needed.

Writing, word work, word wall...

The word work activities above are perfect for your literacy center or use the making word as I do with partners or groups challenging each other.

This packet also includes four literature suggestions with activities to accompany them.

Not shown are graphic organizers or collecting student thoughts for writing as well as writing pages.
