Today we read "Officer Buckle and Gloria" by Peggy Rathman. In this cute story, Officer Buckle performs safety speeches at local schools. The speeches get a lot more exciting when the police dog Gloria becomes his partner. We analyzed the story further by completing a sequence recall worksheet. Gracyn was to put 6 pictures in the order of which they occurred in the story. We walked through the details together to complete this task. Next, we completed a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the characters Officer Buckle and Gloria and then the two together. We read the traits described and attributed it to the single character or the pair. This activity helps us practice understanding the characters and their actions in text we read. We finished up our session by practicing the Dolch Pre-Primer sight words with a game of ZAP! A few of Gracyn's tricky words are: away, little, find, and three.
