The dog ate my homework!

First of all, now that I have a puppy I realize it is REALLY possible for a dog to eat a students homework! My puppy eats everything! She eats paper, sunglasses, shoes, remote controls... I could go on but the list would be endless! When I was a kid I heard my friends use that famous excuse for not having their homework, but I will admit the teachers never believed them. Of course I didn't either. Now that I am a teacher I will say I have yet to really hear any of my students say, "My dog ate my homework and that is why I do not have it." However, I do find it funny that it is REALLY possible!

Don't Let the Turkey Sail the Boat!

Don't Let the Turkey Sail the Boat is adapted from Mo Willems Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! Don't let the Turkey Sail the Boat will be a hit with your children! They will want to read it over and over again! It is perfect for guided reading and teaching specific strategies such as reading for comprehension, accuracy, fluency, or expanding vocabulary. It is great for your emergent readers. The book is a total of 20 pages. I included a vocabulary page in the beginning and a reading response question at the end. This book comes in a color version and a black and white version. I also included lined writing paper with a colorful turkey border and the same lined paper with a black and white turkey border. Check it out in my TPT store! Might I add this book is also perfect for reading in November!!!
