Down Down Yellow and Brown

We read the poem Down Down Yellow and Brown and created leaf kids. The students have their own copy of the poem in their poetry folders and circled the rhyming words. We also thought of other words that rhyme with down, brown and town like crown, clown,and  frown.

Our poem of the week was 5 Little Pumpkins sitting on a gate. We circled our sight word the and the rhyming words in the poem. On Thursday, we read the book and created a TLC illustration. Then the students circled the and the rhyming words in thier own copy of the poem.

Silly Sally

We celebrated letter S by reading and doing activities with the book Silly Sally by Audrey Wood. On Monday we took a picture walk and made predictions from the illustrations. Then we read the book and found all the rhyming words. We also identified the main character and other characters and created our own character map. On Tuesday, we identified all the nouns and action verbs and acted out the story. On Wednesday, we learned about alliteration and the students created their own silly character using their name starting with an S instead of their letter. On Thursday, we used character pictures to create flow maps to re-tell the sequence of events in the story. On Friday, we are going to choral read Silly Sally to our 2nd grade reading buddies and write/illustrate our favorite part of Silly Sally. The kids really learned a lot this week and loved the book Silly Sally.

The Old Lady Who Swallowed Some Leaves

We read the book and found all the rhyming words. Then, to help us re-tell the story, we drew pictures of all the fall things the old lady swallowed. We used the pictures to construct a flow map. The children had a lot of fun using the flow map to re-tell the story to thier friends.

Nursery Rhymes!

We had a great time learning about Nursery Rhymes!
We read Little Ms. Muffet and tasted curds and whey (cottage cheese). 10 of us liked it and 11 of us did not.



We also read Hickory Dickory Dock and Humpty Dumpty. We used hilighter tape to mark the rhyming words and we made TLC art of the rhymes.

We also had great fun acting out rhymes and reading them with our names instead of the main characters. See the below slideshows and see if you can tell which rhymes we are acting out.
