There is a lot to catch up on as I missed posting last week. When we returned from break our book friends Gerald (the elephant) and Piggie burst on the scene to help us with our Reading Super Powers. You may have read in the newsletter about Pointer Power (touch each word), Partner Power (two heads are better than one) and Sound Power (say each letter's sound to figure out unknown words). Since then we've added Picture Power (the familiar "what might that say?") and Re-Read Power (does it make sense?). Take a look at all these in action.
We've also had fun learning to draw Gerald and Piggie following author/illustrator Mo Willem's directions. Have a look:
When I asked the class why Elephant and Piggie books are SO great for Kindergarten readers, they has many insightful responses. Stay tuned to the blog for a future posting of their answers!
