Read Aloud, The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

One of our focused read alouds this week was for the book The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

Our pre-reading activity included looking at a group of objects  and the book cover and making predictions (we used the word prediction as a fancy word for guess) about the plot for our story.

Some predictions by the JK students were, "the pumpkin will get dressed up", "the old lady is getting dressed for Halloween"

Subsequent readings of the story invited the students to join in which repetitive parts of the story

"Two shoes go CLOMP, CLOMP,

One pair of pants go WIGGLE, WIGGLE,

One shirt go, SHAKE, SHAKE,

Two gloves go CLAP, CLAP,

One hat go NOD, NOD,

And one scary pumpkin head go BOO, BOO!"
