This + That = Awesome! Cutest book ever!!!!!

Have you seen this book??   OMGoodness!   I am in love with it.   So many different ways to make connections with this book!

This Plus That by Amy Krouse Rosenthal

 

 

It is a fabulous little book of cute real world connections - that can be used anywhere in your curriculum.  It has great connections like city+bustling=city,  and yellow +blue = green...

 



 

My kids LOVED it!   I loved that when I read once upon a time+happily ever after= pretend,  all of their hands shot up to tell me that they thought she should have written = fairy tales (we just finished a fairy tales unit).   I love all the directions you can go with this ...

evaporation+condensation+precipitation=the water cycle

roots+stem+leaves+flower= plant

nonfiction+famous person=biography

folktale+magic=fairy tale

farm houses+open spaces=rural area

addition + subtraction + multiplication + division = math

 

I could go on forever!   Since today was the first time we read it,   I let my kids take it in any direction they wanted.   Here are some of their cute ideas!

 

 

I am thinking it would be a great culminating activity with almost any unit.   I love it and highly recommend it for almost any grade level!

 

Happy Easter!
