Description

Teacher’s Edition of the Happy Little Garbage Truck

This teacher’s guide provides language, literacy, and self-esteem-building activities to accompany
The Happy Little Garbage Truck picture book. These specific activities were selected to enrich, in a fun
way, the learning experience of reading the book.

Student Activity Book for The Happy Little Garbage Truck

This activity book was created to accompany The Happy Little Garbage Truck’s Teacher’s Guide. It contains activities for the Independent Skills’ center for each of the daily lessons. These activities were designed to stimulate creative thinking, reading, comprehension and artistic skills in children.

I’ve included coloring book pages of the story for each day’s lesson. The students may color (and write) their own version of The Happy Little Garbage Truck while reading the story.

Independent Skills

As an extension lesson, the teacher may assign a Vocabulary Card to individual students for a variety of word exploration skills (looking up synonyms/antonyms; creating word meaning charts; playing a game of recognizing the word and using it correctly in a sentence, etc.)
