One of the BEST historical fiction novels to teach about the impact of the California missions on Native Californians is Pasquala, the Story of a California Indian Girl by Gail Faber and Michele Lasagne. Both authors are former fourth grade teachers! This historical fiction novel unit includes a pre-reading activity, projects, writing, tiered independent menu. Student samples, forms, rubrics, and comprehension test with answer key included! And the best part is that it's only $2 TODAY!!
And just in time for Halloween and the season of pumpkins, is Pumpkin Palooza, a hands-on math extravaganza!! This booklet is filled with math tasks: estimating then counting the number of seeds, weight, circumference, number of seams, etc. Such a FUN activity!! This is great for K-2 students, or even my 4th graders were involved as upper-grade mentors with our 2nd grade buddies.
Since it was originally only $1.50, it is on sale today for only $1!!
Many thanks to Grace at A Grace-Filled Classroom for hosting this linkyparty!!
