We can’t get enough of Laura Numeroff’s books, so this week for our literacy snack, we are reading, If You Give A Moose a Muffin.

When he’s eaten all your muffins, he’ll want to go to the store to get some more muffin mix.” Just like in the original book, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, the boy in the story entertains a moose through a bunch of comic adventures that will have your students giggling the whole time,

Snack Idea
For our snack this week, we will, of course, be having muffins! I just made muffins from 2 boxes of muffin mix that I had picked up at the store, or if you’re in a time pinch or want to ask to have them donated by a parent, store-bought mini muffins would be a great idea. You could even bring in a jar of jam for the students to put some on their muffins like the moose does in the story.

While your students are enjoying their muffin snack, I made a word search for them to work on. It has 9 words that appear in the story. Depending on your student’s abilities, you can have them do this individually or as a whole group using the smartboard to find the words together.
