April 30 - May 3 ~~~ The Gruffalo ~~~

Our beginning Gruffalo… I asked the students

what they thought a Gruffalo may look like

and this is the result!  

Our Gruffalo chart poem!

Mr. Durant reading The Gruffalo

This work job consisted of labeling

the Gruffalo, and completing a small

Gruffalo puzzle.

Using playdough add the features

to the Gruffalo pictures.

The Gruffalo board game.  When you landed on

certain spaces you got to move forward a

few spaces or move back a few.  To win

the mouse had to get to the acorn at the finish.

Printing some Gruffalo words, when finished

draw the Gruffalo on the back of your

sheet and do a lacing wheel.

Using letter tiles make the

words from the Gruffalo story.

Lego board game.  When you land on a number

you get to choose a few Lego, or you may need

to put some Lego back.  When the game is

finished create with your Lego pieces.

Initial sounds puzzles.  Find the pictures

that go with the initial center of each puzzle.

Create your own Gruffalo.  This art work job

was lots of fun.  I put a paper bag and all

the colors needed for the Gruffalo in the tote

and the children created as they wished.

Our finished art wall with each individual,

unique Gruffalo.  I think they are fabulous!

Some of the other things we did

with the Gruffalo, the story map,

the chart poem and sequencing the story.

We acted out the story.  Each child participated.

There was a choice of using the Gruffalo masks

or the Stuffies as they acted out the story.

It was a lot of fun.  We acted it out four times

so everyone had a turn.

Reading together with a friend.

One person reads the other listens

and then they switch.

Some learning centre time pictures!

Individual pictures!
