We use Wonders for our ELA curriculum. There is A LOT of stuff in this program. We use some of it and some of it we don't. I wanted to create a packet for my students that focuses on the parts of the curriculum that we do use.
We focus on the first story in each week. If time allows we try to fit in the second story. My district does not require any spelling requirements. So I took out the weekly spelling words. This cover is what we cover - essential question, genre, vocab words and strategy and a comprehension skill. Ever week for every unit has this cover page.
The next two pages relate to the story we read. We will cover the essential question, the vocabulary and comprehension strategy, and the genre.
The next two pages works with the vocabulary in the week. Students will have to use 3 words in their own sentence and then each week has a vocabulary practice sheet.
The next part in this packet is the grammar practice. I have separated the grammar rules page and the practice page. Students will put their rules page in their writing binder as we complete them to help when they are writing. I also tie in a grammar interactive notebook page that correlates with the grammar rule we are learning.
The last page of this packet is the daily language page. As they learn the strategies they will use them to find the errors in the sentence. I also teach editing marks and require the students to mark up the sentence then rewrite it. This could be used as morning work too.
Of course all units come with answer keys too! I know not all teachers use wonders so I have separated out the vocabulary, grammar, and daily language as stand alone products too. Head on over to the store to grab the bundle. If you would like to try before you buy Unit 1 Week 1 is free in my store.
