Grade 3, Lesson 13 - It's Sunny (Frances Sohn book)

I can't find the thread for this, but here's a Snakes & Ladders game reviewing the key expressions.

Here are some things that I borrowed from a similar lesson in another textbook on another thread and I just modified it to fit my needs.  Thank you to those that did the templates, you came to my rescue in a pinch.

A quick note on the word search.  I accidentally left in a word from the previous template.  When one of my smarter students had finished well ahead of time I told her there was a bonus word in the puzzle that she could try to find.  I told her it was part of the song we had just watched (Busy Beavers It's Rainy).  It took her the remaining 10 mins to try to find the bonus word.  Next time I do a crossword I am going to add in a couple of extra vocabulary words for the quicker students to find. 

For the Boggle game I pretty much used the same letters and template that was given in another thread.  Since they are 3rd graders, I told them the letters did not have to be connected.  I gave 2 points for each vocabulary word they found and 1 point for each correct word they found.

I hope these are useful.

just a ppt i got on here for practice, then used those pictures for a simple board game.  3rd graders love to play rock, paper, scissors so they played for a solid 10-15 minutes.  played the ice climbing video at the end of class to get them to stop playing the game.

Here is a modified Angry Birds game for this lesson. It went over really well. There are a couple slides where the students have to come up to the board and practice writing capital letters.
Thanks to whomever made the original game, it is amazing.

Here are some things I used this lesson -

We did a "It's Sunny" Story that was pretty fun/funny.  I am also attaching the "Post Story" ppt (called post listening).  Just review of the expressions, etc.

And finally, a Mario weather game!

Here is a worksheet that I gave out during this chapter.  It has a "practice writing the alphabet" section, an alphabet word search, an alphabet connect the dots, and a word search with these words:  doll, cup, dad, mom, I, pen, book, you.
