Upper Elementary Book Study

     I am happy to share with you my newest book study!  This is a short study on Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins by Eric Kimmel.  This study would be great for both public and private school settings.  Wouldn't this be so much fun this autumn?!

     This is a fun study that incorporates vocabulary, sequencing, comprehension, and culture with fantasy.  This study would compliment many of the upcoming holiday lesson plans coming up.  In this packet is included teacher answer keys and an assessment.  The students I have worked with have enjoyed this book and the accompanying activities.

     This following is a sample of the vocabulary pages that accompany this product.  The students are to record context clues that help them decipher what the vocabulary word means.  Next, they can write what the word means based only on information from the context clue.  I would add a time after this for discussion between students and the teacher about what the word means and the dictionary definition. 

     A culture activity is included as well.  Students will learn about what a menorah is and use it for a sequencing lesson.  This product would be perfect for a 4th or 5th grade classroom. It could be used for advanced readers in the 3rd grade or struggling learners in the 6th grade.  Enjoy this learning adventure and let me know what you think!
