Books:
I Like
Chocolate by Robin Pickering
Chocolate:
Savor the Flavor by Elaine Landau
Activities:
After
reading aloud the two books, we brainstormed favorite things
made from chocolate. The children created a word web chart with
the word “chocolate” in the center. They then added pictures of
favorite chocolate items.
Next I
recorded the names of the chocolate items on a chart and had
them label their drawings. They wrote the “abbreviations”
instead of the whole name since it is the beginning of the year.
When they wrote their chocolate stories they referred to their
webs and the chart for the spelling of words.
Next the
student made mini books with the “kiss” pages on the project
site. At the next visit to the computer lab, the children drew
favorite chocolate things on Kid Pix and labeled them. Those who
wished could also create a chocolate web.
Next we
wrote a group story about our favorites. Each child supplied a
sentence. The story and pictures are posted on our web pages.
Here is
our PowerPoint presentation. The
complete presentation is on our
web site.
