Hello!
Our kindergarteners sign in and K group exercise matched up as we dove into verbs, specifically action verbs!
During their sign in experience, they had a word bank of four action verbs that they had to plug into a sentence that made the most sense. They used the context clues throughout the sentence as they chose what action verb to insert into the sentence.
We took it one step further in K group as we read five sentences and worked together to identify the action verb in each sentence. Every group member was able to identify the action verb after I read the sentence!
K.W.6.1b: Verbs– Writing sentences that include verbs.
In PREK2, Miss Kim read the story titled, ‘Thankful’ which lead into their message board. Children answered the question “What or who are you thankful for?”
“It’s the sort of thing caring adults too often do: the kids were working together to solve a kind of puzzle, but they were robbed of an opportunity for independence, collaboration, and perhaps even epiphany by a well-intended adult.”
I found this short Teacher Tom blog post today that focuses on giving children the opportunity to explore new things and situations, instead of giving them the answers or ‘bursting their bubble’.
