November Activities
The Kindergarten through Third grade students studied one author this month. We began with a biographical video then read books by each author.
Kindergarten – Eric Carle, author and illustrator
We read A House for Hermit Crab and The Mixed up Chameleon. After reading A House for Hermit Crab we decorated a picture of a shell for hermit crab’s house.
First – Mo Willems
We read The Pigeon has to go to School and drew pictures of Pigeon. We also read I’m a Frog.
Second – Mem Fox, an Australian author
We read Magic Hat and drew what we would become if the hat landed on us. We also read Koala Lou.
Third – Eve Bunting
We read Dandelions, a book about Nebraska homesteaders and The Night Tree. After reading The Night Tree we talked and wrote about what the family experienced with their five senses.
