Let’s prepare for Back to School!
I am so excited about this “back to school” resource.
It has everything needed to get you ready to “hop” into the first day of school.
You and your students will love to begin the year with a darling story about Froggy and his first day. It is perfect for helping kiddos relate their first day to the first day Froggy experienced.

What is a rule in FROGGY’s class?
Perfect for Text to Self
There is an adorable Froggy craft included to decorate your hall or a bulletin board in your classroom.

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.
Begin by having the students listen to the story online.These Interactive Google Slides are ideal for Distance Learning as well as a Literacy Center. or Computer. My advance students love these activities.FLIP FLOP!!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.Skills to complete the activities include click and drag as well as some basic easy typing using a pre made text box. They will have fun when finished to share their slide show with others.SPLISH SPLASH
A tour of the school is always on the top of the “first day activities” so you will enjoy this creative “scavenger hunt” to tour the school after reading Froggy Goes to School by Jonathan London.
This activity is sure to be enjoyable while creatively showing your class around school and the room. It can end in a little “treat” from Froggy.
So much fun.
