Sticky Note Feelings

Give students post-it stickers (emoji faces) to place at parts in the book that make them feel different emotions.  

Stop & Reflect Questions

Pause at key pages and ask: How do you think the character feels? Why? Record student responses.

Needs vs. Wants Sort

Have students sort images or words into Needs (e.g., food, shelter, love) and Wants (e.g. toys, candy, electronics). Discuss why some families might need help getting basic needs.

Timeline Tracker

As you read, pause and create a classroom timeline with visuals. Mark major historical moments such as mammoths, First Peoples, settlers, treaties and reconciliation.
