For today's Moodle session we had to create a mini lesson for word recognition. As I was thinking about what theme or topic to choose for it, I chose the most obvious...Dr. Seuss! Not only are his stories and illustrations fun and enjoyable, but they are perfect for introducing/reviewing word families. The word family I chose to revolve my lesson on was words ending with -at. I know Rachel used it first, but it was a sheer coincidence, I promise! My reason for choosing this particular word family was that it allowed me to incorporate one of my favorite books, "The Cat in the Hat." I hope you all enjoy the ideas I have put into the lesson and the lesson in general. Please be gentle in critiquing, as I am feeling under the weather.
A little word of advice: Never do homework or make lessons after taking NyQuil.
Kelsey I hope you feel better, but you are right. Using Dr. Seuss is a great idea. He does introduce a lot of word families that we can use in our classrooms.
ReplyDeleteAww Kels I hope you get better. I'm feeling sick too..maybe there's a bug going around. Anyway, I loved your mini lesson. I really like how you have a dr. Seuss theme going on.
ReplyDeleteDr. Seuss is my favorite author! He's a genius, I think. I plan to use his stories and poems in many of my lessons. I hope you feel better real soon!
ReplyDeleteYour lesson was something that the students would really enjoy and at the same time, their learning and having fun. It is a great way to introduce the kids to word families and to familiarize them. Hope you feel better Kelsey!
