Fun” CD, but I can’t think of a familiar
tune??? It will work if you just say the words.
*On the front of the
notebook or pocket folder write “We’re Great!” Write a
different letter of the
alphabet on each page. Show
children the dictionary and
ask if they know what it
is. Explain that words are written
in the book in
alphabetical order
(ABC). When people want to know
how to spell a word or
want to know what a word
means they look it up in the dictionary.
Tell the
children that you want them
to help you make a special dictionary with
WONDERFUL words that
describe special people just like them!
Use the words
from the above chant to
start your dictionary. Add words
that children suggest.
*Let children make an
acrostic poem by writing the letters in their name vertically down the left
side on a piece of paper. Can they
write an adjective that describes them for each letter?
*How about a vocabulary parade? Have each child choose a "wonderful" word. Write it on a sentence strip and let them decorate it. Pin it to them and let them walk around the room parading their words.
