The Very Last Leaf by Stef Wade is an adorable picture book that can be used for social emotional learning (dealing with worry and fear) as well as photosynthesis; why leaves change colors and fall. 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!
With this unit, you’ll be able to teach important ELA skills while tying in a bit of science, too.
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.*

A lot of fun activities that my students really enjoyed.
I recently purchased this interactive resource, and it has completely transformed my classroom! The resource is incredibly well-designed, keeping my students engaged while also promoting meaningful learning. Here’s what I loved about it: 1. Engaging Activities: The resource is packed with fun, hands-on activities that keep students focused and motivated. They love the interactive elements that allow them to work independently or in groups while reinforcing key concepts. 2. User-Friendly: The layout and design are simple yet effective. Everything is easy to navigate, both for me as a teacher and for my students. It was also super easy to implement into my lessons with minimal prep time required. 3. Versatile: This resource is adaptable for various grade levels and subjects. I’ve used it in multiple ways across different lessons, and it works beautifully every time. It can be tailored to suit diverse learning styles, making it ideal for differentiated instruction. 4. High-Quality Materials: The quality of the worksheets, activities, and digital elements is top-notch. Everything is clear, colorful, and professionally designed. The resource’s attention to detail really stands out. 5. Engages Technology and Hands-On Learning: The incorporation of digital activities and printable options ensures that students are not only engaged but also develop tech skills. I love how it blends traditional learning with modern, tech-savvy approaches. 6. Excellent Support: The seller provided clear instructions, and even offers suggestions for additional activities or ways to use the resource more effectively in the classroom. It’s clear that a lot of thought has been put into making this resource both valuable and easy to use. Overall, this interactive resource is an absolute gem! It has helped keep my students engaged, while also providing a more fun and dynamic learning experience. I highly recommend it for any teacher looking to spice up their lessons and provide their students with a truly engaging learning experience!

I love everything that Ideas by Jivey puts out. These Mentor sentences are such a great way for my child to learn grammar without being frustrated. We loved the other reading and writing activities that went in this unit as well.
This was a great activity that kept my students engaged.
This was the cutest story and mentor sentence week! So glad to add this to my classroom library!
Great way to teach students. Engaging and academic.
I love ALL Jivey units, but this was a fun fall story and I loved the non-fiction articles that accompanied it.
LOVE all of Jivey's mentor text units. My students really enjoy the variety of texts and activities as well.
