JUNIE B JONES HAS A PEEP IN HER POCKET BOOK ACTIVITIES AND TEACHING IDEAS

While the rest of the class is excited to go, Junie B is not pleased. She is afraid of roosters! She has been told by a classmate that roosters can peck your head into a nub. 

Junie B's mother buys her a new outfit to wear on the farm. This does not help make Junie B want to go on the field trip. She heads onto the bus wearing a straw hat, overalls, and a bandana. 

Farmer Flores tries to make Junie B comfortable being on the farm by asking her to be his farm hand. Junie B sees this as a perfect opportunity to boss around her classmates.

On the farm, the children see a barn, cows, pigs, goats, lambs, and a tractor. Then they head into the henhouse.

Junie B was nervous to see what was inside. But she saw some baby chicks, and was delighted. She even put one in her pocket...until she learned that it would one day become a rooster!

This book study unit is packed with fun activities that will help your First Grade and Second Grade students with story elements, making predictions, character traits, making text to self connections, author's purpose, main idea, making inferences, vocabulary, writing, giving opinions and advice, problem and solution, story retell, reading comprehension, and much more!

These activities can be used for whole class instruction, 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!
