Have a Jan Brett party!
Materials: Plan:
Writing time -
Have the students each write a friendly letter to Jan Brett. I like to run off the friendly letter forms she has available. Have the students write about their favorite part of the story or ask any questions they are interested in knowing.
For reading time -
Children can partner read any of her books.
Math -
Write story problems using characters and ideas from her books.
Social Studies -
Read her biography and locate on a map the place she lives.
Art -
Draw a picture in the middle and then give clues on the border like Jan Brett does.
Science -
Make gingerbread houses, cookies, or snow mountain cupcakes! Comments:
I hope you enjoyed some of these ideas. I thought they would make a good holiday unit for those of you who don't dare mention Christmas--and enhance learning along the way!
