The Rainbow Fish Thematic Book Unit - Reading, Writing, Math and more!

The Rainbow Fish Book Companion: Reading, Writing, Math, and more! The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister is by far my favorite book for the beginning of a new year. The story focuses on friendship, kindness, and caring, and the activities will keep your students motivated and engaged.

I created this packet as a companion to the book, and the activities and templates are listed below. In this unit, you will find comprehensive reading activities, engaging writing tasks, creative math exercises, social and emotional activities, and more!
