Night Tree by Eve Bunting - Winter Book Project and Craft

Are you looking for a Winter book project that is packed full of standards aligned reading activities AND engaging for those days leading up to (or just coming back from) Winter Break? This Night Tree project guides students through the process of thinking deeply about a story. Using the book Night Tree by Eve Bunting, students will make and revise predictions, make connections to their own winter traditions, write a story summary, and work with story vocabulary. Students complete a book project with interactive notebook pages and decorate a Night Tree based on the story. This project works well in guided reading groups or as a shared read aloud. The teacher will need to have the book Night Tree by Eve Bunting in order to complete this project. The book is *not included* in this download.
