We are working on being good listeners to help create community in our classroom and having a safe environment for everyone to share their feelings and opinions. We are using sharing circles to discuss various topics and today we looked at kindness. We started with the story 'Little Bear's Vision' an Aboriginal story that focuses on respect, talking nicely and taking responsibility for our actions with our friends. We have all done some writing about the lessons that Little Bear learns and we will continue tomorrow with other acts of kindness.
Last week we looked at characters in story and the various traits they may have. This week we will focus on setting and how good readers can determine the place, time and environment of a story. We used the book 'Trombone Shorty' to begin our work today. Ask your little learner about where the story took place.
Read 20/10 and record it!
