Names

Today we read a book called "Chrysanthemum" by Kevin Henkes.


*It started off sad and then got happy.  In the beginning of the story everyone was making fun of Chrysanthemum's name.  Then the music teacher told her that her name was special. Then Chrysanthemum felt happy.

We talked about how this book reminded us of other books we've read including "Unlovable" and "Sweet Briar."

Then we counted how many letters are in each of our names.
We made a graph.

We practiced writing our names the "Kindergarten Way"(with a capital letter first, followed by all lowercase letters).

*(Written as a shared writing experience by the students in Room 8)
