The Story Behind It
In 2022, I was teaching We Are The Gardeners to my Grades 3-5 class. I shared a moment from that lesson on Instagram. Joanna Gaines saw it and sent books to every one of my students.
That experience showed me what one powerful mentor text can do. This unit is built on that same idea. One book, taught with intention, can reach every reader in your room if you have the right framework to support all three tiers.
Every reader, every day. Read-aloud lesson plans with before, during, and after moves. Whole class ready. No separate plan to write.
Same book, more support. Parallel small-group lessons with scaffolded organizers and sentence frames already built in.
Heavy modeling, dignity intact. Teacher script, choice board, and SEL check-in all included. No student left behind the book.
Before, during, and after moves. Whole class ready.
Guided questions and sentence frames built in.
Think-aloud and SEL check-in included.
MTSS placement checklist and anecdotal notes.
