One of my all time favorites to read to start the school year is Nobody's Mother is in Second Grade by Robin Pulver. It's a story about a mom disguised as a plant so she can go to school with her child. It's a great way to discuss the importance of being an independent third grader.
I created this literature prompt to follow my read aloud. The student's responses are always good for a chuckle. This version posted is for 3rd grade, as that's the grade I currently teach. I just couldn't let this story go when I moved from 2nd grade.
Enjoy!

If you don't mind, I would appreciate the activity for second grade. Thank you so much for sharing your work. I received this book a couple of weeks ago after ordering off of Amazon.
