3/5 – 3/9

POPCORN WORDS: went, home, about

READING:  This week in reading we continued our learning about non-fiction books. We went on a hunt for non-fiction text features. We are getting really good at finding them! Our focus this week was on reading about bears. We read non-fiction bear books and the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The Kinders learned about something called a Shape-Go- Map to retell a story.  The learned about how each story has a setting, characters, and a possible problem.  Then they recalled the transition words of first, next, then and last to retell a story.  After reading a story we discussed how many stories have a lesson that readers learn or a problem that was solved.  We call this the heart of the story.  They practiced retelling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The Kinders brought home their bear props they can use to retell the story to you!

WRITING:  In writing this week, we wrote non-fiction books titled All About Bears. We started our learning this week by sharing what we already know about bears. We learned what bears can do, what bears have and what bears are. In our books we wrote, we labeled the parts of a bear…because non-fiction books have diagrams, pictures and labels. We wrote books about bears telling all we know about them, drawing pictures with labels that match our words on the page.
