We made it through our first week of school! Yeah! This week we dove right into our Kindergarten routines and procedures. It was a busy week getting to know my new kinder darlings, and let me just say, I am loving it! This is going to be a great year!
This week we had fun discovering what happened to the letters when they all went up the coconut tree in Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. Before reading we discussed the title and learned about the job of the author and illustrator. These are great to go over when reading at home. Of course, we had to make Chicka Chicka Boom Boom hats.
And of course, we needed a silly picture!
During our Language Arts time, we also learned about 3 ways to read a book.
1. Read the words.
2. Read the pictures.
3. Retell the story.
Often my kindergarten friends think they can't read, but they can. It is important for them to realize they can read the pictures. Once they discover the details in the picture, they can create their own story. They can also retell familiar stories. This is another important way to read at home. Ask them to read you a bedtime story!
We started choosing books for our book tubs and I LOVED watching them read their books with friends.
