Back to School Lesson Plans and Activities

Reading & Math Text

My reading activity is to have them look through their reader and find a story that interests them and jot down the title and a reason or two why they feel this way. They share with the class. We also go through the book and we categorize the stories according to what kind of reading material it is. Poetry, historical fiction, biographical, informational, folklore, etc. We graph the results. I do the same for math. I have them look through the book and tell me what they think they will be studying in math this year. I list these on a poster board. We also talk about what concept(s) are dealt with the longest.
