Unforgettable First Grade: Memoirs of a Goldfish {Freebie}, The Watermelon Seed {Update} & My 1st Grade Memory Book {Freebie}

4 more days of school!!! YAY!! As summer vacation awaits, my kiddos will be reading one of my favorite books before we close out for the year. Memoirs of a Goldfish is such a great picture book with bright and colorful illustrations and a clever but adorable goldfish. This book is written in a diary format which will work well this last week of school. In writer's workshop, we have been learning and creating personal narrative pieces. I chose this book because it fits well with small moments. I want my kiddos to reminisce about small moments we shared this year.

I created a reader's response flip book for my students to respond to this wonderful book that has a true meaning. Students will be actively engage with this book by following a clever goldfish as he recounts 14 days of his life starting with day one. In the end, students will be able to learn the meaning of friendship and the value of sharing one's life with others

This past week, my students just loved The Watermelon Seed. I had a great time reading aloud to my students to this hilarious book about a crocodile eating a watermelon seed.
