I have used Hello Literacy Fonts (which are free for non-commercial use). That totally works!įor more information on “write the room”: This was one of the “Write the Room” options, but this teacher decided to use it as just a stationary center instead. In this way, students are nudged into trying a different type of paper each week.įor more information on the writing center: I like to limit the paper options each week, so there might be 6 list pages, 4 card making pages, 4 label the page options, 2 book options, and 4 story paper options. I came across this older image of my writing center! There are so many options for the students that this center stays up all month long and students never get bored.

I have also blogged about Creepy Carrots. A Creepy Pair of Underwear Lesson Plans.

You can find all of the lesson plans above by following these links: Placing the sentence at the bottom of the craft is one of our favorite ways to display them. Each book has a sentence study component. This lesson activity is coupled with the craft.

It's a horrifyingly good read.A Creepy Pair of Underwear Craft with Sentence Study When Jasper's afraid of the dark, Brown gives us a full spread that's completely black, followed by one that's all black except for two wide, frightened eyes. He renders the underwear in a garish green, the fluorescent color of nuclear waste, and for maximum effect, juxtaposes it against black backgrounds. Peter Brown's art is the perfect pairing. For instance, when Jasper cuts up the underwear with his mom's scissors, Jasper thinks, "She didn't like him using them, but this was an underwear emergency." And when he digs a hole to bury the underpants, the hole is "100% underwear-proof." All of which helps highlight his shaky insistence, "A grown rabbit couldn't be terrified of his underpants." Creepy Pair of Underwear! has a really clever premise - an ominous, indestructible pair of underwear straight out of a horror film - and author Aaron Reynolds tells the story with text that's hilariously dry and deadpan. There's lots of silly, spooky fun in this story about a pair of underwear with a "ghoulish, greenish glow" that slyly plays on kids' conflicted feelings about their big-kid underwear.
