Weekly Foundational Read-Aloud: 

 Stellaluna by Janell Cannon

The YouTube Link to the weekly Read-Aloud is located: HERE

Questions to ask your child in response to the read-aloud:

     Why did Stellaluna feel embarrassed when she tried to fly with the baby birds?
  Why did Stellaluna think she was clumsy?

Learn at Home activity for today:

    

Animal Baby Play

Invite children to pretend they are the animal babies they are investigating. They can determine where they would live and what they would eat. They can do the things their animal babies would do. 

  Continued Weekly Activity

                                                                                  Animal Baby Book:

ask your child yo pick their favorite animal baby. You can help your child create and animal book. Together as a family, you can do online research, read books, or magazines about the animal together at home. families and children can write and drawpictures about the information they gather together. Children can write/draw what the baby animal is called, what it looks like, what it eats, where it lives, etc.  If ready, children can label their work.  For example, if a child is writing about bears, you can ask them what sound they hear at the beginning of the word, make connections to the written letter B, and encourage your child to write the letter. email or text a picture of any completed work to: msserbonescovid19@gmail.com  

Thank you to all the students and parents that have sent me pictures of the children's work. I will be adding more pictures as they come in !!
