Snow

Today in AC we have read book Snow by Uri Shulevitz with kids.It is easy book to read aloud.
No one thinks one or two snowflakes will amount to anything. Not the man with the hat or the lady with the umbrella. Not even the television or the radio forecasters. But one boy and his dog have faith that the snow will amount to something spectacular, and when flakes start to swirl down on the city, they are also the only ones who know how to truly enjoy it. 
 Students made new words.

Book The Mitten by JIm Aylesworth

Yesterday we have read the book The mitten. It was very interesting book. When a little boy loses a mitten in the snow, a passing squirrel finds it's the perfect place to warm his icy toes. So he sqe-e-e-e-zes inside. But he's not the only animal with that idea. There was a fox, bear and mouse.

We have found two copy of book and i divided the class into two team boys and girls. They read  in turn and translated and described the pictures.
Students loved the book and an ipatiently waited to read what happened in next page.
They found new words to learn. Then each students talked what activities they like to do in winter time. They learned the word mitten and now they know how it looks like.

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.
