I added some clips to our Homer Price playlist.

I created vocabulary worksheets for Homer Price.

Jordan completed his chapter 1 vocabulary worksheet and glued it into his FIAR notebook.

I created a Grab Bag for the Homer Price FIAR Unit. The Grab Bag series is a collection of worksheets and/or activities that I created while studying the FIAR Chapter Book units with my children.

*NOTE: Please be aware that any printable from the Grab Bag series may have worksheets that are similar and/or the same as those available in our other printables. We try to include anything that could enhance your student(s) learning experience as you row the chapter book series.
