Foundations for Thinking and Courageously Creative Curriculum for grades K-8 available now!
Fairy Tale + STEM Unit - Where imagination meets innovation! Each fairy tale in this unit includes a creative STEM challenge that lets students engineer solutions to storybook problems. The unit includes 10 fabulous fairy tales with writing and comprehension activities, along with a culminating activity where students write an original fairy tale! Perfect for grades 1-3!
Book Studies - I also love doing a read aloud book, along with higher order thinking skills questions and projects. Mrs. B on Teachers Pay Teachers has some great books and great higher order thinking skills questions available. I'll give an example with Matilda.
Matilda Full Unit - This is what I typically use with 2nd and 3rd graders.
Matilda HOTS Questions from Teachers Pay Teachers ($)
The Wild Robot - a novel study with STEM connections is a great read-aloud option for grades 2-5
