スヌーク先生のストーリータイム: フランクリンが自転車に乗る

Hi Learners! During story time I read a high quality picture book, stopping frequently to ask students questions and to have students do physical movements to keep them engaged. I also use silly voices and singing to make our time together enjoyable. Then we finish with a drawing, "writing," or simple art craft to extend the story and make connections to the story. Even if a student writes one letter of the alphabet, or scribbles a shape after we read, they are practicing responding to a story. This is a skill they will build on as they grow. Students learn about the structure of stories, character development, and practice describing the setting while having fun.  Students who can write more, are given the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities, as well, because the small group setting allows me to cater to the abilities of each student.
I hope to see you at my story time. We will read Franklin Rides a Bike by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark.
