During this four-day week, the class listened to 4 books. One was "The Kissing Hand" by Audrey Penn, mentioned in the August 30th posting. Here are the others:
This is a classic story by Robert Munsch (a Canadian author). When we read the story together, the students would read along with the words, "This is kindergarten. In kindergarten we share. We share everything!" A humourous look at sharing.
I chose this book because we could make connections to our class pet fish. It is a very good story to help the students identify the "problem" in the story and then how the problem is solved. A very funny book with simple language that kept the students' interest to the very end. It was also good as a talking point for the "lesson learned" in the story. The children quickly learned the refrain, about feeding the fish "never more than a spot, or something may happen, you never know what!"
I chose this book because it is about friendship and, because it begins in a pet store, it is a good opportunity to make a connection to the book "Fish Out of Water". We talked about how Brian the guinea pig was feeling sad when his best friend Bob went away and how he almost "burst" with happiness when he saw him again.
