Grade 1-- Hickory Dickory Dock

We ended the Green Eggs and Ham stations with a tangram activity-- students retold the story using tangrams depicting the story elements.

THIS WEEK: Grade 1 students are working with still practicing rhymes and short vowel sounds. We will be working with nursery rhymes and poems-- as a way to practice and review new English words.

The first station involves an introduction to new words, whole group sorting of these words (with explanations as to why they are placed in the chosen categories), an exploration of how the words fit together, and a group challenge to create a story or rhyme using the words. At the end of this station students will be familiar with all the words in "Hickory Dickory Dock". Their homework will be to practice and learn the rhyme for the next lesson.



You can practice with your child-- they have to rhyme in their journals/notebooks.
