March Read and Infer: The Spring Break Mix-Up

Description

The Lunch Bunch Club just got back from spring break and it’s time for show and tell! During spring break, each student sent a postcard to Mrs. Hill about a trip he or she took. They also brought home souvenirs to share with the class. Mrs. Hill accepted a challenge to infer which souvenir each student brought back based on the clues from the postcards, but she’s all MIXED-UP! Help Mrs. Hill by reading the postcards the students wrote to figure out which souvenir each student brought home in his or her suitcase. Can your students use their inference skills to help the Lunch Bunch Club by working together as literacy detectives?

Join Sam, Sara, Mike, Lee, Theo, Wendy, Darcy, and May in this March Read and Infer edition of The Spring Break Mix-Up. In each edition, your students will use their own schema and clues from the text to help the Lunch Bunch Club solve a big problem. My hope is that your students come to know these eight characters as “old pals” within your classrooms! At the same time, they will build important literacy skills as they infer, draw conclusions, make predictions, write about their reading and reasoning, and think critically.

In this March Spring Break Mix-Up Edition, your students will infer which souvenir each member of the Lunch Bunch Club brought back from his or her spring break trip. They can work as a whole class, a small group, or within a literacy center to match each picture card to the correct suitcase by using the clues in the students’ postcards to Mrs. Hill. The pack includes TONS of differentiated recording sheets – choose the format or formats that best meet your students’ needs. Your students will be engaged in discussions as they infer and activate their background knowledge to analyze the clues. They will provide and write evidence in order to prove their inferences throughout several of the recording sheets.

A writing extension activity is included in the pack, complete with blank templates for your students to write their own inference clues for one another.

BONUS: Eight spring inference riddle task cards, with differentiated recording sheets, are also included! These inference riddle cards are the perfect addition to your mini lessons, small group reading activities, literacy centers, or independent fast-finisher activities.
