Description

These Thing Lou Couldn't Do read aloud STEM activities will teach students about failure and growth with week-long lesson plans, book activities, and a STEM challenge.

These lesson plans will guide you through 3-5 daily interactive reading lessons for a full week of engaging activities your students will love! Each day students will interact with the book for a different purpose and then complete a corresponding printable or digital activity to reflect on the story more deeply. Finally, students engage in a hands-on STEM challenge as they explore the Engineering Design process while creating a safe solution for Lou to climb a tree.


To teach these lessons you will need:

The Thing Lou Couldn't Do by Ashley Spires

This lesson plan pack includes:

  • The Thing Lou Couldn't Do book read aloud lesson plans
  • Comprehension questions and answer keys
  • Lou character feelings and response to challenges activities
  • Differentiated graphic organizers and worksheets
  • Writing prompt and writing paper
  • Thing Lou Couldn't Do craft pattern with instructions
  • Digital graphic organizers and activities pre-loaded to Google Slides and Seesaw

***The digital graphic organizers are the same or similar to the printable options.

***Seesaw has many interactive tools to choose from. Text boxes are not pre-loaded on the graphic organizers because students may want to type or draw, which they can easily do with the provided tools in the program.
