Learning Activity

This activity is for a Kindergarten classroom and for the subject of Reading and Writing. It will help students remember what happens in a story and give them the opportunity to add their own ideas to it. Making this activity is very easy, the only thing I needed was the book "Corduroy" by Don Freeman and a stuffed bear of Corduroy. I will read them the book in class then ask them to tell me what happened in the story and retell it in their own words which helps with their memorization. After I have read the book I will choose a random student with sticks or another method and they will get to take the plush Corduroy home and take pictures and/or draw their weekend with him. They will also write about their weekend and when they get back to school share with the class what they did. This is an activity that will be used throughout the year and at the end of the year I will put together each students pictures and stories of what they did with their new friend and put it into a scrapbook
