Homework
Students are asked to complete their assignment if they do not finish before class is over. Students/parents are welcome and encouraged to send me the student's work through Outschool if they would like it proofread and/or would like some additional feedback on the student's writing. Parents can also practice reading comprehension strategies at home: 1. Be sure you have your child's attention. 2. Minimize distractions. 3. As you read, have students repeat phrases back to you. 4. Ask yourself questions while you read…”I wonder why…” 5. Use “wait time.” Give students a minute to think before repeating your question. 6. Check for understanding. Ask them to repeat the question back to you. 7. Help students make connections between the book and their own experiences! 8. For emergent writers, always pair writing and drawing together! Draw and write with them!
Assessment
Students will be assessed informally through participation, questioning, and by completing a written response and drawing based on the book we read. (Note: We will review pre-writing strategies for young writers who do not yet write words.) Students are asked to complete their assignment if they do not finish before class is over. Students/parents are welcome and encouraged to send the student's work to me through Outschool if they would like it proofread and/or would like some additional feedback on the student's writing.

Class Experience

US Grade Pre-Kindergarten - 2
In the Goldilocks Adventures: 5 Day Reading Comprehension Camp, students will meet daily for 1 week to listen to and discuss a different version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, focusing on inferencing, making predictions, and responding to a writing prompt.  These fun, colorful books are certain to be loved by your child as they listen to stories about a mischievous little girl who wanders into the three bears' home!

Students at this age are learning to be good readers.  Good readers use prior knowledge, make predictions, summarize, question, infer, visualize, and make inferences.  WHEW!  That's a LOT!  It is important for children to be able to comprehend what they read--but HOW does that happen?  Students must apply literal, inferential, and evaluative skills to answer who, what, when, where, why, and how questions based on the text.  In this camp, we will practice answering comprehension questions focused on inferences and making predictions. Students will review new vocabulary, and answering the 5W's + H (how) questions while reading each story.

During the 45 minute class:
• Students will be welcomed to class.  We will quickly review the class rules, our learning goals, and writing prompts together as a class.  
• We will go over a short 5-minute mini lesson on making predictions and making inferences.  Students will then listen to a version of The Three Bears to apply their skills. 
• Students will then be given approximately 10 minutes to respond to a writing prompt.  Younger children will draw a picture with details to respond to the prompt.  Teacher support will be available to all students during this time. Students should raise their hand if they have a question.
• Once the independent writing time is over, students may share their writing with the class.  Sharing is optional but encouraged. 
• As a class, we will review the material covered in the mini lesson, and I will answer any questions prior to dismissing the class. 

The following books will be read aloud to your child over the duration of the camp.  Because the stories are read aloud, there is no need to purchase copies of the book.  I will read them to your child.

Day 1: Goldilocks Returns by Lisa Campbell Ernst
Day 2:  Leola and the Honeybears by Melodye Benson Rosales
Day 3: Tackylocks and the Three Bears by Helen Lester
Day 4:  Goldyluck and the Three Pandas by Natasha Yim
Day 5: Dusty Locks and the Three Bears by Susan Lowell


(NOTE:  Children learn vocabulary, sequencing, and prediction skills through repetition of stories.  If you feel your child would benefit from hearing the story again, I would love to have them join me in additional sections of the class!)

Learning Goals

The goal of this class is to focus on inferencing, making predictions, and responding to a writing prompt. Students will also review the 5 W’s + an H (who, what, when, where, why, how) of comprehension.  They will listen, take turns, and respect classmates who are speaking and sharing ideas!  Students will respond to a writing prompt to apply new vocabulary and information. (Students who do not yet read and write words will be given prewriting strategies to complete the tasks.)  By sharing their writing, students are also building speaking skills and gaining confidence to share their thoughts and ideas with a group!
