Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

Plan the pack as a multi-session unit — the teacher page states the activities are not intended to be completed in one day and can be spread over a week or more
Project the book under a document camera during the read-aloud; the teacher page notes the illustrations are necessary to tell the story
Pick the subset of activities that fits your class — the pack is written for selective use, not front-to-back completion

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

How is the storybook itself used alongside the pack?

The read-aloud runs from your own copy of Suki's Kimono — the teacher page says the illustrations are necessary to tell the story and suggests projecting the book under a document camera so every student can see them. The storybook is not part of the download.

Do the activities need to be done in order, or can I pick?

Pick freely. The opening page tells you to choose the activities that best fit your teaching style and your students' needs, and to spread them over a week or more rather than compressing them into one day.
