setting, and problem. We will retell using story arcs.
We will continue to utilize the cognitive skill of mental imaging while
listening to stories. This skill will help us add details to our
writing!
Writing: This week we will make literacy connections to
Thanksgiving stories while using these stories as a basis for our own individual
book making/writing. The children will focus on use of capitals, periods, and
appropriate spacing as we write about turkeys! We will continue to
add details to make our writing more interesting. This week we
will write about fall, Thanksgiving traditions, and other stories from our
lives. We will also use letter sound knowledge to make lists. For
example, we will make a list of what we want to eat on
Thanksgiving!
