There is nothing more engaging than sharing a favorite story with students. Stories capture students’ attention and help them focus on the lesson at hand. Stories get students thinking about the topic and opens opportunities for discussion. Using literature can be ideal for the literacy section of your day. The story can relate to a theme (Week One BACK TO SCHOOL), help build vocabulary and provide a springboard for word work and writing. This bundle has 6 literature choices: First Day Jitters focuses on emotions. A Letter From Your Teacher focuses on greetings and building a “happy place”.
