TOPS AND BOTTOMS

Do your students just LOVE the book Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens? It's a great read aloud for a plant or gardening theme in Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade! Tops and Bottoms is also cross-curricular, so you can teach many literacy skills while teaching the science concepts of plant growth.

TOPS AND BOTTOMS BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

Hare solves his family's money and food shortage problems by tricking rich, lazy Bear into giving Hare and his family all of Bear's crops. Find out how by reading the book! Your students will love clever Hare and poor Bear while learning about how plants grow...tops & bottoms!

I've created a pack filled with fun activities and literacy ideas to go with the story. Your students will work on story elements, making text to self connections, character traits, making inferences, vocabulary, writing activities, problem and solution, reading comprehension, and much more!

These Tops and Bottoms book activities can be used for whole class learning, during small group guided reading time, as individual student work, or as part of a book club. Copy a pack for each student, and you're ready to go!

This literacy pack is Common Core aligned, is perfect for a spring time or growing plants theme, and is geared towards Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade.
