Rudolph

We read Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and created a story map. The kids each illustrated one part of the story map. To review last weeks lesson on entertainment books and inform books, we read a non-fiction book about Caribou and created a Venn Diagram to compare Rudolph to real Caribou.
Take a look at these cute reindeer we made.

Corduroy Story Map

We read Corduroy by Don Freeman and created a storymap using illustrations and sentences.

Teddy Graham Flavor Graph

We are learning how to collect data and use the data to create a graph.

We used tally marks to record what flavor each of us liked.

Three Little Pigs

We read Three Little Pigs and created a chart of problems and solutions in the story. Then we created TLC pigs making their houses.

The next day we read The Three Wolves and the Big Bad Pig. We made a list of what else the three pigs could have built their houses out of.



The Ugly Bug

We read the Ugly Bug and used Deanna Jump's Story Map recording sheet to illustrate the characters, setting, problem and solution.  The main characters were the ugly bug and the bird. The setting was outside in the grass and plants. The problem was that the ugly bug could not hide like the other bugs and was afraid that the bird would eat him. The solution was that when the bird came to eat the ugly bug he looked even uglier because he was scared so the bird was scared to eat him. The bird thought that the ugly bug might give him a stomach ache.

The Hat

We read The Hat by Jan Brett. We made a chart of the problems/events in the story. Then we made a Hedgie with his hat on and painted snow on it. This activity went along with our letter of the week "H".

Fairy Tale Elements

We created a Fairy Tale element chart for each fairy tale we read during our unit. Then on the last day of our unit we looked at all of the charts and compared the fairy tales. We learned that all fairy tales have the same elements and some of them have the same special number and evil character(s).

Giant Fun!

We had a great time today reading different versions of Jack and the Beanstalk, drawing ourselves as giants, measuring how many beans tall we are, and identifying story elements.
