KINDERGARTEN LESSON PLANS: Week 29 Piggie Pie

Piggie Pie Lessons for kindergarten and first grade. Reading comprehension, directed drawing, center ideas, and a fun STEM activity too! 

Could there be a more fun book to read with your class than Piggie Pie by Marie Palatini?

Piggie Pie Lessons:  Reading Comprehension

First, let’s look at these illustrations!

So fun!  Some of the reading comprehension strategies we used for this book are:  predicting, visualizing, and connecting.

Naturally, we also work on retelling the story too!

You can find all of these reading comprehension lessons and response pages by clicking:

• Reading Comprehension: Engaging Readers APRIL

Piggie Pie Lessons:  Directed Drawing

Here are few of the directed drawings of Gritch!  I love how directed drawings help students build confidence in their own illustrations but they all look so different too!

The directed drawing activity is also found in the link below:

• Reading Comprehension: Engaging Readers APRIL

Piggie Pie Lessons:  STEM activity

The students also are asked to work collaboratively to build a pen for the piggies.  

You can find the directions as well as the student planning and reflection papers by clicking:

Piggie Pie Lessons: Center Activities TOO!

Yes, we have center activities too to go along with this book!

You can find these differentiated center activities in the file below:
