{Thank you Susan}

This book will spark the imagination of any five-year-old. 

The illustrations are BEAUTIFUL.
The text is a simple pattern on each page.

The ending of this book is perfect too. 

Transition Words

For this lesson the children had to help me put the transition words in the correct spot. This lesson comes from Linda Hoyt Mastering the Mechanics. 

After the lesson, I glued the words into a class big book. Students helped illustrate the pages.

Students practiced making transition words.
