I usually have them partner up for this task. Starting with vocabularyĪfter our discussion, I have my students complete their vocabulary flash cards. Depending on when you teach this book you might be able to connect to a study of living and nonliving or animals.
It also makes a great science connection too. Sometimes we will use this time to make a K-W-L chart.
The kids always get super excited and love to share their stories and prior knowledge about mice. Not only does this activity follow our normal procedure for learning and reviewing sight words, but it is also a great way to get the kids excited about this cute little mouse that will become the main character of our new book.ĭuring carpet time, I like to hype up the unit by talking to your class about the mouse that will be in the story. It’s really more of a teaser than an introduction, but it works to get them excited. I begin this unit by having my students complete the mouse Color by Sight Word activity.
Day 1 Chrysanthemum Activities A little teaser for engagement I’m excited to give you a little peek into how I teach using Chrysanthemum. Together my students really dig into the book and the man who wrote it. When I teach this amazing book, I incorporate a 5 day book study unit along with some extra activities from our Kevin Henkes author study.
