This reproducible resource is filled with ready-to-use lessons and cross-curricular activities. It is divided into four parts:

  • People Who Build Our Homes
  • People Who Help Us Learn
  • People Who Keep Us Safe
  • People Who Help Us Stay Healthy

At its core are four high-quality children's literature selections: Building a House, The Best Teacher in the World, Police, Rita Goes to the Hospital.

For each of these featured books, activities are included which set the stage for reading, encourage the enjoyment of the book, and extend the concepts gained. In addition, the theme is connected to the curriculum with activities in language arts, math, science, social studies, art, music, and life skills.

Suggestions and patterns for bulletin boards are additional time savers for the busy teacher. Furthermore, directions for student-created Big Books and culminating activities, which allow students to synthesize their knowledge in order to create products that can be shared beyond the classroom, highlight this very complete teacher resource.

This unit includes:

  • literature selections - summaries of children's books with related lessons (complete with reproducible pages) that cross the curriculum
  • poetry - suggested selections and lessons
  • language experience and writing ideas - suggestions as well as activities across the curriculum, including Big Books
  • bulletin board ideas - suggestions and plans for student-created and/or interactive bulletin boards
  • homework suggestions - extending the unit to the child's home
  • curriculum connections - in language arts, math, science, social studies, art, music, and life skills (such as cooking and physical education)
  • group projects - to foster cooperative learning
  • culminating activities - which require students to synthesize their learning to create a product or engage in an activity that can be shared with others
  • a bibliography - suggesting additional literature and nonfiction books on the theme

Testimonials

I am a stay at home mom who values education very much, and these resources have been able to help me start my child's education early in order to give her a head start before she even enters into school. - Heather L.

The resources I received will help me tremendously with reading skills. I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. - Annette H.

My son needed some additional work with his fine motor skills to prepare him for Kindergarten next year. We work out of the books I ordered. He does his "homework" when my older son is completing his after school. He loves it! It makes him feel like a big boy. I was amazed that my order arrived two days after I placed it, especially because it was the Holiday season. - Dawn M.

I purchased the full color Kindergarten file folder games, and my students love them. We use them daily during our literacy groups. Your service was great! - Cindy M.

They provide a variety of ways to reach different students and allow me to vary my activities year-to-year. - Staci M.

I have used all the materials with my Kdg. class and found them to be so appropriate. The children enjoy them. - Jennifer C.
