Oskar and the Eight Blessings by Richard & Tanya Simon is a heartwarming seasonal book to show how small acts of kindness can make such a difference. If you don’t own a copy of the book, check your local library or you might even find an online read-aloud of the text with a simple Google search!
Using mentor texts is one of the best ways to maximize your teaching time. You are able to teach multiple skills, subjects, and topics with just one book!
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS UNIT?
You will notice that the units align in best practices with my other resources, so if you are already using other components like Mentor Sentences, Better Than Basal, or Everything But The Books, they can easily be incorporated into your plans without breaking stride.
In fact, this unit follows the exact same structure as my Everything But The Books resources!

*The mentor sentence lessons I have created are adapted from the ideas of Jeff Anderson. These lessons were born from the routine that worked well in my classroom, and the demos and examples I present are variations of Jeff Anderson’s methods. This is not the only way to “do” mentor sentences in your classroom.*

This is a comprehensive group of wonderful activities to go along with a wonderful story. This was a great review of reading skils and was very engaging.
What I love is Jivey hooks me into picture books I would not have read otherwise and this Christmas one my students and I loved! As with all the Ideas by Jivey resources, it is very thorough!! Everything you need to delve deep into this picture book. I even left a day for the sub to do and she raved about how easy the lesson plan was to understand. Kids love it to.
Great resource that I used with my EL small groups!
Quality material to go along with a poignat read-aloud that helped my students be thoughtful.
My students loved this activity. They were highly engaged the entire time.
I loved this as a review before the winter break to cover many of the reading skills we had worked on for the first half of the year. Thanks!
I love this read aloud and use it every year during the holiday season! I was very excited to find this resource to help supplement instruction!
Oskar and the Eight Blessings is one of my favorite holiday stories. I am so grateful that Jivey created this resource. Her resources are the best! My students were deeply engaged in all of the activities.
