Week 11 / 12 : Colors!
Hello Penguins,
We'll read A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni to wrap up week 11 and start off week 12!
It's a wonderful story for talking about colors and blending into your surroundings!

Week 11: Dark Dark Times
Hello Penguins,
We'll begin the new lesson this Wednesday and keep it through next Tuesday. I'll be reading Ruth Brown's A Dark Dark Tale. It's a little spooky and a whole lot of fun! We'll make some time for independent reading as well. See you there!

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 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!
