“Polar Bear, Polar Bear” is one other one in all my favourite books by Invoice Martin Jr. and Eric Carle. Like “Brown Bear” it has predictable textual content that makes it good for starting readers. Utilizing this guide I prefer to work on the names of the animals, the sight phrases “I”, “a” and “hear” and sentence construction.
Once I do that guide I normally spend a complete week on it, concentrating on one thing completely different every day, whereas constructing on the data gained from the day earlier than. On day one, we use the “I hear a….” board and a duplicate of the guide.
We begin by studying the story a number of instances, being attentive to the animals and the sounds they make. Many of the youngsters have heard this story earlier than and are acquainted with it however they might be unfamiliar with the sounds of among the animals. We frequently go to the web to listen to the actual animals.
As soon as I am positive that the kids are snug with the story, I’ve them make the sentence “I hear a …….” as I learn every web page. At first I mannequin the sentence together with them after which as they change into extra assured, they’ll do it by themselves. For youngsters that can’t decide up the items, I maintain them up and have them use eye gaze to choose.
Even at this early stage we work on punctuation.
To complete up on the primary day, I’ve the kids make a bit of guide to take residence or I ship it residence for homework if we run out of time. I’ve a few completely different variations relying on the talents of my college students. One, they simply want to paint, the second is a “fill within the clean” and within the final one the kids have to hint the animal phrase. Typically we combine and match the pages. I’ve every scholar full a web page and we make a category guide.
