All about where by Hoban, Tana.
This book teaches where things are but does not have a lot of words. You have to talk about what you see.
The rain came down by Shannon, David The man yelled at the dog, woke up the baby, the man’s wife shouted. The police car was blocking traffic. The ice cream man turned up the music on his truck.
This story teaches us how to say “–ed”. Every page has a new occupation (job). We liked the different jobs and learned new words.
On the town : a community adventure by Caseley, Judith. This book has a lot of words, but EVERY PAGE has a notebook clue. Then it says “Charlie wrote…and Charlie drew…”
Wanted, the perfect pet by Roberton, Fiona. The boy wants a perfect pet. The boy wants a dog. He has various pets, but he thinks the pets are boring. He wants a little pet that can he chase around trees. In the end, he finds the perfect pet.
Would I trade my parents? by Numeroff, Laura Joffe.
I like the story because the boy always wishes all things of his friends. For example, he wants to eat blueberry pancakes for breakfast like Jason, to see TV until 8pm like Katie, and to have pets like William. The best of the story is that he would not change his parents for anything. He is very happy with them. This story uses “would” a lot.
We learned how and when to use "would".
If...(past tense)...would (base verb) OR ...would (base verb) if ... (past tense).
You can see more details and practice with our would presentation.
Prepositions help us tell where things are in relation to others. We practice and will continue to practice:
on….near...next to…across from…behind...in front of...between _ and _...on the corner of _ and _
HOMEWORK: Teach someone how to say "th" or "s" correctly. Or teach them when to say "ed" at the end of a word instead of "t" or "d".
For example, walked, called, waited, shouted, raided, passed
