Week 10: Keep falling for Fall

Hello Penguins!
We'll stick with The Busy Little Squirrel by Nancy Tafuri for Monday and Tuesday, then we'll switch to Time to Sleep by Denise Fleming.  It's my attempt to make up the lesson to the classes I missed last week, and also to try a new system where I will rotate through different lessons throughout the week. 
We'll work on a little syllable segmentation after the story and hopefully have time for independent reading.
See you then!

Week 9: Gettin' Squirrely

Hello Penguins,
It's time for The Busy Little Squirrel to get busy!  We'll start off with Nancy Tafuri's book and then play a counting game with fall leaves and acorns.  See you there!

Week 8: Pets

Hello Penguins!
We'll read a couple of books about pets and explore the differences between fictional and informational texts.  I've chosen the following titles:



 



 
We'll sing "Yo Tenia Diez Perritos" (the gentler Alma Flor Ada version), and the ESL students will learn a poem about pets. I'll put the songs and poems in the sidebar folder.  See you then!
