I can learn how my peers celebrate.
Today most children looked at our celebration chart and wrote observations in their learning journal. Look at some of the words we used to compare and practice making observations at home.
I can interpret charts.
people popular /common
most least
-many -few
-almost everyone -only_____
-more -less
-everyone -no one
Examples of sentences/observations:
Everyone in my class celebrates their birthday.
More people celebrate Canada Day than Stampede.
11 people celebrate Chinese New Year.
We also shared our My Celebrations cards.
The children walked around the room and looked at each others' cards and looked for clues about their celebrations, like special clothing, decorations and season.
We talked about question words, (WHO, WHERE, WHEN, WHAT, HOW, WHY), and brainstormed questions we could ask our friends:
What are you celebrating?
Who do you usually celebrate this with? (Talked about words like usually, often, always, sometimes, just this once...)
Where do you celebrate?
How many days is this celebration?
In partners, kids took turns asking each other about their special celebration. Then we used a venn diagram and a same/different t chart to compare and contrast some different celebrations.
