**ELA Classroom Ideas**
This unit was shared by Dawne Toner at Springwater Colony. Dawne's notes: " I developed this last year and modified to fit my Grade 1-3 classes. You can adapt any way you like as I divided it into chapters. I did one at the beginning of the year and used the other chapters later on. The students liked the idea of drawing their own pictures in the areas I provided for them."
