Spring books for kindergarten and first grade with ideas

Spring books for kindergarten and first grade. See some of my favorite read-aloud lesson and activities for spring! Ideas and directed drawing too.

Ya’ll know I love Piggie Pie! There is so much you can do with this book. Let me share a few of the activities we have in our Engaging Readers Unit.

These photos are from Stephanie Stewart who teaches first grade. Here students worked on sequencing the story.

Then students add the retelling to their notebook as well. If they get confused, they can always go back to the class chart.

Here are a few other comprehension lessons for Piggie Pie.

and I just want to share this adorable student illustration!

We love doing directed drawings. Here are just a few samples.

Tops and Bottoms is another book that is great for spring! So… we also included it in our Engaging Readers.

Students did a great job of making predictions.

and retelling the text.
