We planned your small group lessons for you, and they're cross-curricular, so you can build multiple skills at once! No extra planning, No extra time!
 
Introducing Cross-Curricular Small Group Lessons: Volume 2, I Am Special & Sentence Exploration!
 
Every lesson in this pack weaves foundational literacy skills into the other domains you're already working to build: science, social studies, social-emotional learning, fine motor, and gross motor.
 
Instead of one more separate activity competing for time in your day, each lesson becomes a single, meaningful moment where children are investigating, building, creating, and connecting with friends, all while building the sentence awareness and concepts of print that set the stage for reading and writing.
 
Each lesson takes just 5–7 minutes, works with 3–5 children at a time, and is designed to be introduced once and repeated with every small group throughout the week. No extra planning, no extra prep, just deeper learning woven into the day you're already running.
 
Here's what makes them amazing:
✔ Cross-Curricular by Design: Every lesson pairs literacy with another area of development: science, social studies, social-emotional learning, fine motor, or gross motor, so we are learning multiple skills at once.
 
✔ Five Ready-to-Teach Lessons: Fingerprint Detectives (Science), My Home, My Story (Social Studies), About Me Interview (SEL), This Is Me! (Fine Motor), and Build My Home (Gross Motor).
 
✔ Consistent, Easy-to-Follow Structure: Overview, Learning Goals, Vocabulary, Materials, Before You Begin, and a full Let's Investigate! walkthrough for every lesson.
 
✔ Built-In Differentiation: Provide Support and Offer a Challenge sections mean every lesson flexes to meet each child where they are.
 
✔ Home Connection Strips Included: Pre-written, ready-to-cut take-home strips for every lesson so families can extend the learning at home.
 
✔ Printables Included: A Classroom Interview sheet plus picture/word cards for types of homes and parts of a home.
 
Why Teachers Love These Lessons:
A ready-made, professional resource that shows literacy belongs in every part of the day.
Uses children's own lives, families, and favorite things to build motivation into every domain, from science to gross motor play.
Makes sentences concrete: children clap, count, touch, and even fingerprint the words in a sentence.
Deepens the learning already happening in your classroom instead of adding one more thing to your plate.
Simple, easy to use...no planning needed!
