In this class, learners will sing and read about Christmas! We will be reading If You Ever Want to Bring a Pirate to Meet Santa, Don't by Elise Parsley. We will begin story time with a fun song, then Mrs. Maria will read a book to the students. We will discuss what we have read after we have completed our book. Learners will engage with Mrs. Maria after a brief introduction of our classmates. Mrs. Maria will sing a song about Winter or Christmas (secular), then we will all sing together. When it is time to read, Mrs. Maria will share her screen and read our digital book. After we have completed our book, we will discuss what we have read, and how what we have learned relate to Winter. When we have finished our book discussion, we will draw our favorite parts of the story. Learners will need either the print out provided by the teacher, or one piece of paper and crayons or makers to draw with. The coloring page will be attached on the classroom's page. Learners will interact by participating in story time through songs and reading along with Mrs. Maria on the screen. Learners will also be asked questions about topics discussed in class.
Learning Goals
Students will practice listening and reading virtually. Students will also practice reading comprehension by discussing what they have read.
