Must-Read Mentor Text: A Chocolate Moose for Dinner (Homophones)

, , ,
Phew! Another week has come and gone. We spent a lovely Saturday doing "grown-up" things like getting our Washington driver's licenses and opening a bank account. We also spent the afternoon lazing around, watching movies, going for a nice walk, and I cut out hundreds of feet of lamination (ok, so not hundreds, but it sure felt that way!)
Anyway, it's time for "Must Read Mentor Texts" with Collaboration Cuties!
This week's theme was Language Arts and I wanted to share
one of my favorite books for teaching homophones:
This adorable story is about a little girl who sees like very literally: Amelia-Bedelia style :)

  The students ROAR when I read this to them - and they have so much fun pointing out the homophones and imagining them from this little girl's perspective!
This week I was hard at work, creating a MEGA packet to use when studying homophones. It is over 200 pages!!! And includes all of these activities:
Many of the activities are sold separately in my store,
but when you buy the bundle, you save almost $5!
Activities include:
"A Pair of Pears" Concentration Matching Game

Want to WIN one of these awesome packets?
Who wouldn't?!?!?
To share the joy with my lovely followers, I will be doing a simple PIN IT TO WIN IT!
All you have to do is pin one of the images on this blog page. Then leave me a comment with the url of your Pin.
Note: You can pin as many pictures as you want, but leave separate comments with each URL.
 Double Note: You CAN pin the MEGA Bundle :)

I will be choosing THREE winners on Tuesday morning!
On your mark...
Get set...
PIN!
