Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a wonder holiday. We had a great first week back. Our theme this week was winter. We started the week off with reading The Missing Mitten Mystery and talking about the beginning, middle and ending of the story. We also made name snowmen and measured them with unifix cubes.
We discussed which one was longest and shortest. Tuesday we read The Biggest Best Snowman and talked about the different parts of a narrative story. We made a story map and answered the questions: Who was the author? What was the setting of the story? Who were the characters? What was the problem? What was the solution? These are questions you should ask when you read stories with your child. We also made our own biggest best snowmen.
Wednesday we read The Mitten and practiced retelling the story using character cut outs. Thursday we read Sadie and the Snowman and made sponge paint snowmen.
Today we read another story by Jan Brett, The Hat. We made a list of all the winter clothing we wear to stay warm. We then made winter mini book to go in our new "book bags". Each week we will be adding new mini books to our bags. At the end of the year they will get to bring home their collection of books.
