Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Theme:  Fairy Tales – Goldilock and the Three Bears

What’s happening in centers:  We are acting out the fairy tales we read to learn about story sequence and characters.  We are practicing taking turns and changing roles.  We are learning to use the comprehension strategies we have learned to act out our roles. 

What Reading & Writing Skills are being practiced?  We practice visualizing or making a picture of the story in our minds.  We are learning to think about character empathy or how the characters in the story feel.  We also talk about story grammar or the beginning, middle and end of the story.  We write plans before we play and write about the story grammar. As the students do all this writing they will be learning about letters and sounds.

 

 

EXTENSIONS AT HOME:

HELP WANTED:
