Description

By request, I have pulled the Do Unto Otters lessons from Volume 3 for those who love using mentor sentences and mentor texts and wanted to add just this one lesson to their rotation. PLEASE do not purchase this if you already own all of the Volume 3 sets! (If you do, you already own all of these activities!)

In this pack, you will receive a mentor sentence lesson for the book, perfect to use within the first couple of weeks of school. You will also receive an interactive notebook activity to review/teach adjectives. There are six ideas suggested, and two activities with answer keys provided to use during reading time (using text evidence and character traits). There are also two writing ideas suggested and one writing prompt given.

A cute follow up!

This was such a cute follow up to our SEL lesson. The Golden Rule text evidence page and the character traits page were my favorites. Super cute!
