My first graders love to read nonfiction (mainly books about animals).During guided reading groups, we pulled out the small sticky notes. I told them to put a sticky note next to interesting facts. Other times, I've told them to put the sticky notes next to things that they learned on a page. I've also had them put sticky notes next to facts that they think are important for them to remember.

They would also be great to include for an emergency sub ... Read More about Read, Think, Match Megapack!

Super Sentences (with two freebies!)
I've been working on improving sentence structure and sentence fluency lately. I started by doing a bunch of mini lessons about complete vs. incomplete sentences. I'd write a sentence on the board and students would decide if it was complete. We'd look for the subject (who or what) and then see if the sentence includes a verb (what the subject did).
