Every day this month I have read a book to my class about 'going to school'.
Here are some of the books I've read to my class:
After each reading, we look at the story and compare it to our own experiences at school.
i.e. making connections--text-to-self
For example:
-do we take pets to school?
-how do we act at school compared to David?
-were we nervous to come to school, like Chester?
-etc.
We've done book studies that cover literacy standards and cap it off with a fun craftivity or two :)
I have also used Read Aloud time as a springboard for introducing
fiction vs non-fiction,
and my students have grasped this concept very well!
