This reproducible resource is filled with ready-to-use lessons and cross-curricular activities. It contains two units on literature selections (Family Farm, My Farm), as well as activities that extend across the curriculum to language arts, math, social studies, music, art, and life skills.

The activities are designed to address all learning modalities. Directions for student-made books, singing, games, crafts, planting seeds, and two culminating activities that allow students to synthesize their knowledge and produce products which can be shared beyond the classroom, are all contained in this book.

This unit includes:

• literature selections - summaries of two children's books with related lessons and skill pages that cross the curriculum
• poetry - original poetry and suggestions enabling students to write and publish their own poems
• language experience and writing ideas - a student-made book related to each literature selection
• bulletin board ideas - suggestions and plans for interactive bulletin boards
• curriculum connections - activities covering a wide range of skills
• culminating activities - shared activities where students synthesize learning
• a bibliography - literature, nonfiction books, audio-visual aids, and computer software related to the theme
