October 14-18


This week the kindergarteners explored the wonderful world of Clifford the Big Red Dog.  Clifford teaches us many life lessons including being a good neighbor, being yourself, and using manners.  As we read through each book, we identified the parts of the story, made predictions about what might happen, and discovered the “lesson” in each story.  We also talked about the author and illustrator, Norman Bridwell.  We identified his job and how he got his ideas for the stories.  Finally, we wrote our own class book about Clifford the Big Red Dog and made a picture of Clifford with descriptive words on the inside.
