This is a simple and great idea for a quick check to see what the little ones are thinking. Have the children draw what they think is the most important detail of the story.
I completely forgot about this idea. I used to do this years ago when I taught first grade all the time to introduce something new. I am going to to this idea next week. I think I am going to call it the mystery word and see how my kindergarteners do with it. It may be fun for something to do while we take turns in the bathroom.
I found this free penguin game today and I think it would be perfect for my kinders to do with their 8th grade buddies next week. I am always looking for something productive for them to do together.
My little ones are tattling up a storm. I am going to look for this book this week and develop a lesson around it for kindergarten buddy time. Let me know if you have suggestions for tattling....
I recently started using the Tattle Tale song on the Heidisongs classroom management dvd. My kinders LOVE to sing it and when they start tattling, I just start singing the song to them. It really is helping me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the notice on my post about drawing the most important part! I am now following your blog - nice to "meet" you!
