Patrick planned and began researching a new topic today: Monster Sea Creatures. We completed a KWL chart on what he knows, what he wants to know, and what he learned. We read about several sea creatures in books from the library, and used a tape measure to create tangible representations of various creatures. Through this session Patrick practiced concepts of print, reading sight words, decoding new words, some math concepts, creating a graphic organizer, using a table of contents and index in books, and how to find information.
