Throughout my career in education, I have come to realize that one of the things all
elementary teachers have in common, including myself, is they are constantly searching
for something new and exciting to share with their students. Usually that special
something turns out to be a story to introduce a lesson.
Kayla the Koala Bear is a must have in the classroom library. It is the perfect story to
compliment any of the following:
- Behavior Management – Enforcement of rules, rewards & consequences
- Reading – Sequencing, Compare/Contrast, Elements of a Story, Inferences and Cause& Effect
- Math:
- Shapes – Identification, Definitions and Properties
- Symmetry
- Patterns & Sequence
- Social Studies
- Unit on Australia
- Use Australia as country to discuss for multicultural week at your school!
- Science – Wildlife of Australia
- Try something new. Introduce your students to the animals from Down Under!
- Landforms
