Not only are these activities engaging, they continue to address curriculum standards including sequencing using a timeline, persuasive writing, note-taking, poetry, and more!
For organization purposes, each page is labeled with the letter in the bottom right corner. In addition, activities that requires an explanation include a full page of tips and instructions for the teacher. The planning guide (3 pages) at the beginning of the product also gives teachers a quick reference guide for printing tips (which pages can be copied back-to-back, for example) and allows teachers to schedule each activity.
If you don’t have 26 days left in the school year, you can combine some of the activities! Many of the activities will require at least and hour of time during the day, but some of them are shorter. Take the needs of your own class into consideration as you plan each activity and decide which days you might be able to combine.
