Jack and the Beanstalk

As you may already know, I absolutely love fairy tales. Throughout the year I enjoy focusing on different fairy tales and doing lots of different activities related to each fairy tale. There are so many skills that can be worked on in just one story. The fairy tales that I do throughout the year are Three Billy Goats Gruff, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, and Little Red Riding Hood.

This year I will also include the fairy tale, Jack and the Beanstalk. This is my newest fairy tale unit and I am so excited for all of the fun with the reading, writing, and math activities. There are lots of crafts and games too!

Here is a peek at the some of the activities included in this Jack and the Beanstalk Unit:

Literacy Activities
Making Predictions during the reading.


Interactive Story Elements Book for Students.


Make a Class Book



Writing Crafts




Retelling Crafts


Acting out the story

Reading different versions and choosing your favorite.



Math Activities
Build a Castle with Shapes. Use your imagination to build the castle anyway that you like.


Food always makes learning a little or a lot more fun!!

Measuring with magic beans/jelly beans.


 Comparing your hand and foot to a giant's hand and foot.



To celebrate all of the hard work, some magic beans are well deserved!!

Not all of the activities in this Jack and the Beanstalk Unit were included above. However, you can see the ENTIRE Jack and the Beanstalk Unit below and in even more detail HERE.

Hi everyone! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has come to check out my blog and to all my followers. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it and for all of your support! You have all taught me so much and I hope I have been able to give you ideas and materials for your classroom :) As many of you know, I absolutely LOVE doing themes in my classroom! I have been asked to share my year long plan that I do for my thematic units and I am so excited to finally have it all ready for you to see! I know some people have mixed feelings regarding themes because they feel they do not always meet the standards, but I do have to disagree. I can't say enough wonderful things about doing themes! During my weekly or biweekly themes, I hit more common core standards than I can count! There are a ton of benefits that themes provide for my students that truly gives them so much growth and success! Some of the biggest benefits I feel thematic units do in the classroom are: - Gives a

Number Hats!

I LOVE teaching numbers!! At the beginning of the school year, I do a HUGE focus on numbers. I teach all about one number each week and really like to break each number down. I like to teach my students about how you can show a number in a variety of ways! I decided to create something that would celebrate all of the students new learning about a number. I have made Number Hats 1-10 !! I plan on having my students make these hats after we have learned about a number all week. They will be a fun, stylish, effective, and super cute way to celebrate our new learning! These Number Hats are FULL of different ways to show a number! Students will get to practice writing the number, the number word, number identification, counting pictures, coloring the correct number of pictures, showing the number on a number line, in a ten frame, on dice, with tallies, addition equations, and MORE!! There are 4 different hats that I have designed for you to choose from. Students will also get a strip of 6
