One new thing we are trying this year is to have a literacy/book theme each month. We will do some math, art, language, and of course reading to accompany the theme. Since this is new, I picked a theme for September that I already knew the kids liked: Pete the Cat.
Week One: We read Pete the Cat: Wheels on the Bus. We talked about rules to follow when riding the school bus. We practiced the concepts above, below, next to and between. Everyone made their own book and some even read their books to the class.
The kids worked in small groups to create a bus!
Some writing! Check out that amazing spacing between the words!!
