Mrs. Wishy Washy On-Line Resources

As I have been working on developing a Mrs. Wishy Washy Shared Reading lesson, I am impressed with the lessons and resources available on the web. 
 Making Learning Learning Fun has an emergent reader for teachers and children to make and read together.

The Jacket I Wear in the Snow

There are lots of ideas for teaching The Jacket I Wear in the Snow.

I like chant and writing ideas

To introduce students to writing about what they like, many teachers introduce students to an idea chart.  The students and teacher generate a list of things or items they like.  This scaffolds writing.

High-Frequency Words

 
We are going in to the hallway. 

I am Mrs. Bradford (the teacher). 

my books

We have no squishy writing. 
No wearing hats in schools.

We like snack.  (This is the place where the teacher keeps the snacks.)

This is the calendar. 
Students learn the high-frequency words because they learn to attach meaning to the words.

Apple Happy poem and book

Students make a book of their own after they have read the poem numerous times.

Students read the poem with the teacher numerous times. The teacher adds the clip art to the chart with the students so that it truly assists the students. This teacher quickly laminates it during lunch or gym [...]

Brown Bear Brown Bear Retelling

Each student picked one animal and had that sentence as a cut-up sentence. They re-read their own sentence numerous times and glued it on their own page. Each small group of students made their pages into a book.
