Follow the Yellow brick Road!

Wow! I found this awesome freebie on The First Grade Parade blog! We were working on story elements on our weekly assessment and turning a writing draft this week and this activity was a GREAT review for the kids! AND they loved it!

I laid out a handful of my most recent read aloud books and had the kids LITERALLY follow the yellow brick road and discuss each prompt as they stepped on it. This helped with our writing assessment because we were writing a letter to our teacher about our favorite book. There letters came out amazing! I was also surprised at how much of the old books they remember! 

Their pictures of their favorite characters added a cute touch also!
