Bread

After completing our units on apples, pumpkins, and leaves I have decided to talk about bread. I have big plans to make our own "bread in a bag" and homemade butter next week. For today we started with reading the book "Bread, Bread, Bread" By: Ann Morris. I found this book in one of those "everything-in-your-bag for $5" kind of sale- so good. It's actual photographs and simple text. It also depicts people from all over the world, what could be better? So, after reading this my students did a bread size sequencing activity. It was super simple with only one type of bread because my students are just learning about the concept of small, medium, and big. I use the word big, but I know some people might like to use large so when I created the printable I made a "large" version also. 

I made two versions of this activity. One where the students had to independently sort the bread under each given size and one where the student is matching picture-to-picture in order to sort, so it's more of a matching activity. I differentiated because some of my students are grasping the concept of small, medium, and big and others are still in the very beginning stages of comprehending it.
