Balanced Literacy Unit: 3...2...1...Blastoff! A FREE UNIT =)

Well, here it is =) My first baby completed. 





Included, you'll find 35 pages of my thematic unit that includes all the components of balanced literacy. There are plans, printables, and activity suggestions that all work to improve your students as independent readers and writers. It's my first one, so it probably needs A LOT of work. I'll get better as time goes on (I hope!) 



Feel free to alter to fit your plans, or use as is! 


All I ask for is a little feedback so I can get better in the future. 
* These are all activities that are done during the other components of my day that support the workshop. Actual workshop plans aren't included.

    I am soooo excited you posted your first unit! I am unable to download it though. : (
    I have been downloading often from googledocs including some today but no luck with this one. Can you please send it via email? Sorry to be trouble!
    I checked on your blog so many times this weekend and sent tons of good thoughts your way knowing you were working on this! It looks sooo cute but I want to download it so I can see how truly wonderful it is! Thanks soooo much!

    Hello! I am totally loving your blog and am now a new follower. I am also having trouble downloading your space unit, a pop-up comes up saying that the file is damaged and cannot be repaired. Can you please send me the file via email? Thank you so much and congrats on the blog.

    So this is why they choose you as teacher of the year!?!?! I think so, this unit is great! I've downloaded it and will be putting it in my files for next year. Keep up the great work! I'm currently working on my Math Journal Bundle with hopes of it being done soon, hopefully it's as great as your unit!

    This is great! I loved the syllable activity and the rebus story. We just finished our own space unit and I posted a few of my ideas here, if you're interested.

    I just became a follower! I love your blog! I will be teaching first graders this summer and was searching the internet for ideas and came upon your blog. This is my first teaching gig so I'm quite nervous....but I know it'll be fine.

    Thanks for the GREAT ideas...my curriculum will basically be Balanced Literacy so...I am grateful to have found your site for ideas!

    Thanks,

    I'm in love. Thank you so much for sharing. I was asked to mentor gifted first graders on their interests on space and the body and would be so lost without this. I like that you have recommended books to work on their reading.
