"We're Off to See the Wizard...."

If you are a first grade educator in Georgia and you teach ELA, then you are probably familiar with the Common Core Units created last year that included "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." If you are teaching this year, then you probably have seen completely new units offered for first grade students.

Because I believe in teaching the standard and not necessarily tying it to the text...as the units states you can....I decided to continue with "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" this year and not get into the new text. Instead of throwing the baby out with the bathwater....I decided to add to my current resources and continue the journey down the yellow brick road!

One of the activities I added this year is a word order sentence scramble. Students will work with a buddy to unscramble the words to make a complete, correct sentence. Then after they unscramble all 5 sentences, they can illustrate one of the sentences. I am feeling happy to share so see if you can use it in your classroom. I am using it in my literacy workstations for grammar.
