Animals should definitely not wear clothing

On Oct 22 we 22 kids have read a book in AC by Judy Barret

It was very interesting reading. I like how kids loved this book.They learned many new adjective.

This book introduces the skill of making inferences by using the clever relationship between text and illustrations. On every page, an illustration completes an idea that is only partly explained by the text. For example, on the first page, the text says that wearing clothing "would be disastrous for a porcupine." The picture on the facing page shows a porcupine wearing something that looks like tight-fitting pajamas or a dress. The poor porcupine's quills are poking through the garment, disastrously shredding it. Although the text doesn't say so, the inference is that the porcupine's quills would poke through the clothing and ruin the clothes – as illustrated in the text. In other words, the illustrator helps makes the inference for us.
Vocabulary
Make an inference-"read between the lines," guess what the author intends to say
Definitely-for sure, certainly, without doubt
Disastrous-very, very bad
Terribly hot-very, very hot
Manage-get along, to perform in spite of something (I can't manage without you. We can often manage to understand the author's meaning even if the meaning is not told to us directly.)

Here is the website of that book we have read.

A Clean House for Mole and Mouse by Harriet Ziefert

Mole and Mouse work hard cleaning and tidying their house and spend the rest of the day outside so their house will stay clean.

I am going to do some activities. First one is students will read a sentence each one by one.As this book has a lot of pictures i am going to ask students to describe each page. There will be a lot vocabulary of cleaning tools.
Another activity  i decided to introduce color vowel chart  for teaching ronounciation. Hope they will like it.
