You're Finally Here by Melanie Watt is a great Back to School read aloud!
In the story, the main character is waiting for the reader to show up. It tells of what he does while he waits...and how it is hard to be patient!
The character goes through a range of emotions, from excited to impatient, to bored, to upset... It is a great book to talk about character traits and feelings.
This book easily translates into a Back to School story, as the character has been waiting for the students to show up. He is SO EXCITED to see you, and a little bit upset that you made him wait :)
This book study activities unit is packed with Common Core aligned literacy companion activities, a class book, and Learning Standards checklists for Common Core, TEKS, and VA SOL. It also includes a craftivity that makes a cute bulletin board display to showcase learning.
In the class book, students can write about what they were doing when they weren't at school. This student-made book is sure to be a favorite in your classroom library! Students will love to see what their friends were up to over the break.
The craftivity has students telling what they will be doing now that they have arrived at school!
