We read 5 very funny books by Laura Numeroff and we learned that she writes circle stories! Watch and listen to the story and then comment by answering the questions:

1. What is the animal  character?

2. What item does the story start with?

3. What is the setting?

4. The biggest mess made was…

5. How was the book a circle story?

We are learning about animals and their characteristics! A great and fun way to create a new animal is to go to:

See what characteristics you can add to yourself as you change yourself into a new animal!

We have been learning all of the reasons we have been writing. Listen to the song and then comment: What has been your favorite reason to write?

We learned that a compound word is two small words put together to make one new word with no space in between! Sing this song to review! Have fun!

Comment and tell me 3 compound words that are different from the song!

We have been learning about maps and how they tell us how to get somewhere. We have learned how to make a map with a title, date, compass, legend, and we made our own classroom map! Now help George, Arthur’s friend, deliver ice cream to his friends on the map! You can do it!

We love to sing this song about 3-D shapes… but don’t forget about the rectangular prism!

Comment and tell me an attribute of one of the 3- D shapes we have learned about!

More than one – is so much fun! I’m glad we’ve got the letter ‘s’ to stick to the end of a word… aren’t you? Check out this catchy song about plurals!

Comment and tell me what would the plural be for: kid, frog, and book?

We have been learning about the characteristics of folktales and fables. Listen to the stories on the link below and you decide: is it a folktale or fable. Remember – a fable teaches us a lesson! Have fun!
