It is always more fun when we have someone to share a good book with! Brody the bear is part of our reading program at school that connects with the home. Students take turns bringing Brody home to spend a few days with them and their families. The student documents Brody's visit with pictures, illustrations and written stories. Then these experiences are shared with the class. It is so much fun when a student gets a turn with Brody because they can revisit and read about all of fun stuff he has done in the past with others.
This project alone meets almost all the language state standards located at http://www.doe.nv.gov/Standards/Pre-K/prekcont.htm. It is important to incorporate language skills throughout the curriculum as it is such a fundamental building block in our children's academic growth. Be sure to check out the standards so that you can see what Nevada requires from our early learners. Any extra practice at home is so beneficial to your children!
