Description

Class Experience

Does your budding little reader love sharks?  In this one-time class your child will write a mini-book (with the copy provided and the teacher's help) about the tiger shark.  We will first learn about and discuss tiger sharks through reading a few pages of the picture book "Sharks: And Other Dangers of the Deep" by Simon Mugford and viewing Google Slides.  Then we will talk about some of the exciting facts we learned.  We will discuss the sight words we will use for the book and how to write...

Sight word practice: reading and writing the sight words (I, can, see)
Vocabulary: serrated, juvenile
Facts about tiger sharks: dorsal fin, gills, all about teeth, they eat anything
Literacy skills learned throughout the lesson: capital letters, punctuation, letter formation, spaces between words, left-to-right movement across print

I am a former first grade teacher and Literacy Coach with extensive training in Reading Recovery intervention methods, as well as years of one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction.

I would encourage the students to reread their books and continue to practice the new sight words learned. ;)
