Class experience
US Grade Pre-Kindergarten
In this one time class we will read favorite turkey stories like "Gobble, Gobble, Crash", by Julie Stiegemeyer, learn fun facts about turkeys including the names of turkey parts like wattle and snood, make observations about what turkeys look like, where they live, what they eat, how they communicate with each other and think about what other animals are like turkeys. Little learners can build great listening, observation and creative thinking skills during storytime, asking questions and...
Students will listen to stories, look at pictures and ask and answer questions throughout class, practice taking turns talking, listening and sharing observations about the turkey pictures we look at. Students will learn new facts and vocabulary words about turkeys and will practice fine motor work making fun handprint tracings that we will turn into turkeys. Learners will strengthen fundamental PreK skills like literacy, listening and sharing, predicting, problem solving, observation and speaking in turn while we read stories, talk about these unique birds and work togther to label all the parts of a turkey. **In order to promote class discussions and participation I do not mute learners' microphones. This also helps learners practice their social skills such as active listening and taking turns. In order for this to work, students need to be in a quiet setting away from background noises (loud conversations, telephone calls, t.v, etc.). **
2 files available upon enrollmentPlease print out pages 1 and 2 of the turkey labeling project* and the turkey handprint page. Cut apart the nine words for the labeling project before class. If your learner would rather write in the names instead of cutting and gluing them into place that is OK too. And, please bring your favorite coloring tools to class so we can turn our handprints into turkey pictures! You can pre trace your learner's handprint(s) onto paper before class begins too! Projects do not need to be completed in class. Learners can observe and finish the projects after class too. ** If a printer is unavailable. we can work on the turkey labeling project online and you can trace your learner's hand on a plain piece of paper.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Because of the age of the class, parents are encouraged to remain within "ear-shot" of their little one to help with unexpected audio and/or video hiccups.
