The book I will be introducing in my video is The Little Red Hen. This book is appropriate for kindergartners because it is simple to understand and is repetitive so the children can read along, especially on a second reading. The book also teaches a lesson about doing your share of the work which can be helpful for some children. This book ties into our plant unit because we learn about how we use plants as food. We have a presenter come to my school and do a "Little Red Hen" presentation about wheat. The children actually get to thresh their own wheat, grind wheat into flour, and taste foods made out of wheat. This book is perfect to give them some background information about wheat before the presentation.

I really enjoyed your Goanimate video clip. The lesson displayed within the characters played in nicely to the book you introduced. Nice job with dialogue.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn ~ I like that you used vocabulary relevant to the characters (for example waterhole) and did not make the language too simple. I think it is important to use this language even though it may be too difficult for them at this time!
