YUMMY Literacy Learning- Growing Veggie Soup!

Great things happen when you explore Growing Vegetable Soup! Lois Ehlert's book was a HIT for our little learners at the Oldham County Preschool. Teachers read, students retold and even made their own version of vegetable soup this week. All kinds of learning happened as students thinking blossomed in the house area, block center, and in student's writing. Check out the student work and students in action below. 

It is exciting to see students creating plans for their play-based learning time. Developing writers help us to see the powerful pretend play in which they will engage.



Reading to friends is so fun. This little literacy lover is retelling the story with the pictures as her peers listen closely. You can also see the vegetable soup she made in the drama area. Yummy!

 

Seeds have a sequence they follow to grow into plants! Students drew and wrote about the growth: from seed to plant. Each one shared their own version of how a plan grows. Some "grew" flowers, other grew vegetables. Thank goodness all of their seeds grew- wish we could all have such luck! :)

Writing away! This one is copying garden theme words to tell stories about. Modeling how much fun something is can really pay of when students choose to grow as literacy learners in the writing area. 
 

Ten Black Dots Sparks a LOT... of creativity!

This book is an inspiration! It's about numbers! It's about rhyming! It's about imagining and inspiring! And kids took off making their own visions come to life on paper this week. Check out the pictures below.
