I LOVE teaching about the Rockefeller Center Chris I LOVE teaching about the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, and you can get my plans and resources for FREE! 🌲 🎄 

Drop a comment below, and I’ll send you the link to the 10-Page Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree FREEBIE!

The books all have similar themes and similar characters, so they lend themselves well to exploring point of view and perspective. 

The freebie includes so many high-interest, academically focused tasks: 

🎄Two differentiated passages
🎄 Central Idea Tracker
🎄 Depth and Complexity Discussion Cards
🎄 Comprehension Discussion Cards
🎄 Student Anchor Chart
🎄 Fact Collector
🎄 Postcard Activity

The Humble Pie has become an INSTANT favorite for The Humble Pie has become an INSTANT favorite for me. 🥧 I was speechless when I read it and instantly paired it with The Big Snowdown to teach being humble vs. arrogant and instilling the idea that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard. I created this comparison chart to track our notes as we read, and I can’t wait to talk about these BIG lessons with students. 👏 A MUST pairing for every upper elementary classroom. 🫶
