Exploring Who We Are Teacher's Manual (Grades K-1)

In this unit, students explore the idea of growing up by reading and discussing three texts: Geraldine's Blanket by Holly Keller, Owen by Kevin Henkes, and Peter’s Chair by Ezra Jack Keats. Students are supported to engage in text discussions to develop their comprehension of the texts and the topic of growing. Students are supported to use vocabulary to describe the strong feelings that can accompany growing up.
