Predicting

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today we discussed what a "prediction" is. We talked about how it is making a guess, but it is not just any kind of guess, it is a guess that makes sense!

We then predicted what we think that the book "The Box" by Axel Janssens is about. We talked about what we could see.
- a sign with an arrow on it
- a boy in thebox
- holes on the box

We wondered why he was in the box?

Next, we read the first 2 pages of the book and then we predicted what might happen and drew what we predicted in our visual journal.

What is going to happen next?? Why is Kenny in the box?? What is the rest of the story going to be about?

AM Predictions that they drew:

• Blaire: I think that he is giving away toys to the whole school
• Avianna: I think he is going to say sorry - the one in the box will say sorry
• Jaxon: He is in the box because the other boy bumped him and the boy on the box got angry
• Owen: He is going to say sorry because he crashed into his bike in the box
• Felix: I think that he is going to get ou of the box and ask him "do you want to come in"
• Kieran: He is in the box and then he came out and he said sorry
• Dante: He is in the box. He fell over
• Kayleigh: I think that he is going to come out of the box and say sorry
• Kylie: He is going to pop out to help the boy and then he will move the box
• Evan: I think that he is going to find something in the box .. maybe a toy or something
• Almira: A box to crash
• Vivian: I think what is going to happen is that he is in the box because there are toys in there

• Zoe: The boy that fell and the boy in the box - he tells his Mom what happened

• Jackson: He lied that he hit the box and they will say sorry
• Logan: He is saying that this is not just a box, it is an ordinary but special box

Next, we will be finishing the book and doing a task. We will continue working on predicting what a book is about and what might happen next. This is also something that can easily be done anytime that you are reading a book with your child. 

We have now covered 7 letters in class. It is important that the students continue practicing these letters and their sounds. 

Letters that we have done so far in class:

• Ll
• Ii
• Tt
• Hh
• Ff
• Cc
• Oo

You can review the letter identification and sounds on jollyphonics/Have Fun Learning/Storybots, practice identifying items that start with that letter, and looking for those letters when reading aloud or when out and about.

Both the AM and PM Kinders went to the library today - we go every Monday.
Both the AM and PM Kinders had gym today - ask your child what new skill did they learn?
