I love the story The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything. It's such a fun read aloud....and there's so many possibilities with this story..sequencing, retelling, onomatopoeia, predictions....and the list goes on. I TOTALLY love children's books (Please don't ask me what the last adult book I read was lol). When I'm doing something out of my normal routine, I like to have it all prepared (never know when you need a sub--ya know?)-so it's not a lot, but here's a few activities for the story. I also found a website with these cute scarecrows. I put the link in the file....but I added a glyph to go with it (also in the download). However, today as we were working on the glyph--I had them use the hair pieces to represent their age.

Thanks for sharing all of your fabulous freebies! We use Treasures and Envision as well, so it is nice to see what someone else is doing with the same resources. I so totally agree about the need for Fluff! I feel like all of the fun has been sucked out of teaching and learning, so I try to squeeze some fluff in when I can, which is not much.
