BOOK TITLE: Planes (National Geographic Readers Series) by Amy Shields
SHORT DESCRIPTION: It is an easy to read book filled with photos and simple sentences to teach children all about plans, from the many types of plans to reasons for them.
FOCUS: Informational Text Mini-Lesson - Labeling
These easy to read picture books are very easy for kindergarteners to understand and are a great introduction to non-fiction. It is helpful for these kids to see a new way of writing (labeling) because it is not something that they are exposed to often and is a good tool they can use to explain.
CC STANDARD: W.K.2. Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to compose informative/explanatory texts in which they name what they are writing about and supply some information about the topic.
I do - Teacher will show the picture of the labeled plane. What can you tell me about this plane? (Students will describe the plane, parts of plane, etc) Point to the wing, what is this? How do you know? (the labels). Then label a simple picture together as a class.
We do- Students will get labels and each take turns placing labels on the teacher. Each child will come up with a different label (Pants, hair, eyes, shirt, id, etc.)
You do- As you write in your journals today, I would like you to label your picture and sound it out as best as you can.
