Suggestions for Use in the Classroom:

1. In my classroom, I like to start with the picture posters. I introduce each one and have a short discussion about each.
2. I introduce the vocabulary posters and we discuss what each of the words mean. 
3. Students independently fill out the KWL chart + then I either have students share with a partner or we share together as a group.
4. Students complete the Can, Have, Are Chart throughout the unit. I do give them prompts to fill it out, but oftentimes they jot down their thoughts as we go independently. 
5. We go over the life cycle poster + labeling posters. Students then complete the corresponding worksheets either independently or with a partner. 
6. Next, we read the mini booklet. I typically do this in small groups, but sometimes we read it as a class. 
7. I will then introduce the reading comprehension page. I do this in a few ways. Sometimes I read the reading comprehension to the class and then they complete the questions independently. Other times I have them fill in the worksheet independently. Also, I have done this in small groups and each group is differentiated. I decide this based on where I think my students are at with their reading skills.
8. Lastly, students fill out the “What I learned” sheets. This is done independently.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Sorgen said, "As a component to the end of the year, we go back through the alphabet and learn about things that may or may not be included as a "must do" in our curriculum. Our class had just acquired a caterpillar and these resources were PERFECT to help my littles understand each stage of the life cycle. There were many different layouts in this one purchase so if one poster did not capture your students' attention, there were more to choose from. Easy to use and large graphics."
