Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 3
During this class, students will listen to a popular children's picture book being read.  While the book is narrated, basic vocabulary questions and prediction questions will be asked.  Additionally through the book reading we will focus on basic factual and retelling questions.  After the book is finished being read, the teacher will guide the students through a literary discussion.  This will include higher order thinking questions that will focus on inference, evaluation, and appreciation.  At the conclusion of the book and discussion, students will be invited to offer their final overall thoughts on the book with the class. 

The following books will be read and discussed:

Week 1 Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett
Week 2 Stuck by Oliver Jeffers
Week 3  Happy Birthday, Madame Chapeau By Andrea Beaty
--Class Break/Classes Added
Week 4  Joan Proctor, Animal Doctor by Patricia Valdez
Week 5 Dragons Love Tacos by Adam Rubin
Week 6 The Girl and The Dinosaur Hollie Hughes
--Class Break/Classes Added

Learning Goals

At the end of this class, students will have demonstrated listening skills.  They will also actively participate in discussion allowing them to demonstrate comprehension of the story in a variety of ways.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Parental guidance is not required as long as the student is comfortable using the basic features of the Zoom chat. The chat feature will be turned off unless a parent requests access prior to the class based on their individual child's personal needs. The instructor is happy to accommodate any learning differences and/or disabilities as long as notified prior to the start of the lesson.
Supply List
We will be reading of popular children's books in this class.  The children do not need their own copy of the book, however if they would like to purchase their own copy or borrow from the library, it is helpful for some children to follow along as the story is read depending on their individual reading level.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Sources
The book for each week will be shared in the class chat prior to the next meeting, and is listed in the course description. I recommend parents check commonsensemedia.org/ to verify the content against their own personal family values and beliefs. Feel free to skip a class if the story for the week is inconsistent with your family culture.
