    Thanks for the Valentine's freeebie - I always work on following directions as it is such a critical skill in the classroom. As for storybook companions, thinking ahead to spring, I like to use The Grouchy Ladybug, The Very Hungry Caterpillar and The Tiny Seed - any of those would be terrific!

    I'd love a sequencing app where I could take pictures of kids doing various activities (like putting on their coats, or sliding down a slide) and then have them put them in the right order.

    Following more difficult directions, not just one step or 2 step. Sequencing steps to functional activities that makes the student retell the story.

    Thanks for the freebie; it'll be a perfect worksheet for my kiddos to do for homework (and motivating enough that they'll do it!). I love book units; it's how I have discovered so many fantastic books! I agree a book unit for Eric Carle's The Grouchy Ladybug or The Very Lonely Firefly. Thanks!
