Love Week Two with its RULES AND SAFETY theme. Four delightful stories are used: Decibel and the 6 Inch Voice, The Wheels on the Bus, The Recess Queen and Officer Buckle and Gloria. Each day includes complete lesson plans, a welcome activity (to work on while waiting for everyone to arrive and get started) story for guided reading, vocabulary, anchor charts, comprehension activities, word work, writing, themed (week one back to school) activity or craft, math games(related to skills learning in math). Many of the pages offered are differentiated to meet the needs of different academic levels. This weeks focus continues to be title, author and now we add characters and setting. Everything you need for the day will be included in the resource but the story itself. They can be found in the library or purchased and you can begin your classroom library. Each week will have 4 stories leaving day 5 for catch up, make up or your own idea. This week I would suggest picking up the FREEBIE What if Everybody Did That to begin your study. Perfect for discovering that we have rules to keep us safe and in control. There is also a wonderful Rules and Safety resource with posters and signs stating rules. So let’s get started taking a PEEK!
Decibella is ideal for talking about volume of our voices. Your class will love the craft for displaying their writing.
The Recess Queen is the perfect opportunity to share the importance of being kind and safe on the playground. You will love the character study about Mean Jean and Katie Sue.
Everyone loves Gloria. Students have an opportunity to identify the problem in the story and how it was solved.
This age old song is now a story and allows for conversation on “how we go” safety.
You might enjoy these interactive google slides to accompany the story.
This bundle was designed to use 4 favorite literature stories for guided reading. These stories are used as a springboard for your back to school introduction to rules and safety. Your class will be engaged and active learning will take place.
The four stories are: Decibella and Her 6 Inch Voice The Recess Queen David Goes to School Officer Buckle and Gloria Also included is a Rules and Safety resource with posters and activities to support your theme.

This FREEBIE is a must take for this theme. The story is delightful. Children can use their imagination. What if EVERYBODY threw their scraps on the floor? What if EVERYBODY talked at once? What if EVERYBODY ran in the hall? Oh my!! Perfect for WHY we have school, class and playground rules!
