This week we completed another kindergarten book study. We have been focusing on the book The Very Cranky Bear by Nick Bland. The Very Cranky Bear is about Four friends (Zebra, Moose, Lion, and Sheep) try to take shelter in a cave on a rainy day. A very cranky bear ROARS because he is trying to sleep. The other animals try to come up with ways to cheer up the Bear. Moose finds antlers for him, Lion gives him a mane, and Zebra paints on stripes. Finally, Sheep uses her wool to make Bear a comfortable pillow for his head. The Very Cranky Bear is a fun text that is full of rhyme.
The comprehension strategies we used for this book included prediction and vocabulary, beginning, middle and end, and problem solution. We did a journal entry about what makes us cranky and we talked about what makes us feel better when are are cranky. We found rhymes and learned about shades of meaning for the word cranky. We also talked about the character in the book who was helpful. Discussed how the animal was helpful and added how students are helpful to each other and at home.
