Fancy Nancy 3-Book Set Book

*We wrapped up our unit with a reading of this story. Again, it was well liked by my class and very approachable to them in terms of content and connection. We read it while working very hard on first person narratives of a pioneer-inspired character. This story really does the trick in pushing their creative writing further. This is a very good read!


This is incorporated into our reading curriculum during our pioneer unit. This does a fantastic job of telling a short narrative of the anxieties, struggles, and potential successes that pioneers faced in making the westward journey. We teach about the history of this time, but also teach narrative writing at the same time in this unit, so this serves two purposes wonderfully. One of my favorite units in our curriculum currently.
