We are still working with the book, Storm in the Night by Mary Stolz. After reading it again, we discussed the sounds that a storm make and I wrote down what J said on a chart.
As you can tell from the chart, her favorite storm word was BOOM! She kept asking me to add it again but write it bigger. We also took that idea a step further and created a project with an umbrella.
She painted the umbrella and the raindrops and I added the sound words that rain makes (onomatopoeia words) on raindrops. We hung the raindrops from yarn underneath the umbrella.
J is working on her handwriting and here she is tracing a quote from the book. She likes to skip around when tracing, her favorite part being the line with the period.
The book takes part during a storm when the electricity goes out. So we discussed different sources of light. J cut out come light clipart and glued them to a light bulb for her lapbook.
We also discussed analizing the pictures from the book to see where the characters are looking. By using your eyes, you can tell which way they are looking.
J practiced looking right, looking left, looking up and looking...
down. J colored a mini book which had a surprise ending called,
It's Raining.
Here is her umbrella and here is...
J all decked out in her rain gear!
I leave you with Kaleb, always trying to keep up with J. He loves her!
