Weather Literacy and Math Pack

DOWNLOAD PREVIEW FOR MORE INFORMATION This theme offers activities based on common core curriculum outcomes. It is meant to use for the first few months of the school year. I use this theme in conjunction with the Winter theme. The theme is meant to be used for the duration of one to two weeks. Included in this theme: Four emergent alphabet and sight word readers (professionally illustrated). The readers are meant to introduce key learning concepts. The reader Cool Clouds introduces or reviews the the letter "Cc" and its corresponding sound and common sight words, It is meant to use as a follow-up to reading the literature selection "It Looked Like Spilt Milk". The reader Unicorn's Umbrellas is a fun fictional reader where the students identify the two sounds of the letter "Uu" and common sight words within context. The students are required to color the umbrellas according to the text (interactive comprehension component). Under the Umbrella is another fun fictional reader that introduces the five senses. What's the Weather Like? is another reader that introduces weather words. Readers are offered in both color and black and white. The color readers can be projected on your interactive whiteboard or pictures cut and placed in a pocket chart along with the sentence to use for shared reading. The black and white versions are meant to use for guided or home reading.
