WHAT OTHER TEACHERS THOUGHT OF THIS UNIT:

Once we read the book, we used the graphic organizer and activities pages to div deeper in the book. Students then created a recipe for the animals at the feast. Great resource.

Engaging for all levels.

One of my all time favorite stories! I was so happy to find a learning packet to go with it.

This packet provides a good variation of skills to practice as we read this silly story. We loved creating the turkey as a fun way to practice a story map.

Silly Tilly is one of my favorite stories. Great activities to go with the story. Thank You!
