ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Awnie's House ???? Kids Book Read Aloud: WE DON’T EAT OUR CLASSMATES by Ryan T. Higgins
Hi there, my reading friends! I’m Ani, and I’m so happy to have you here with me. Today, I want to say a big hello to Ander, Lydia, Sofia in Jamaica, and Rihanna in Brisbane, Australia. It’s wonderful to have friends from all over the world! Are you ready to hear a fun story?
Today, we’re going to read about a little dinosaur who is feeling a bit nervous. Do you know why? It’s her first day of school! She wonders if she will make new friends. Let’s find out what happens in the story called “We Don’t Eat Our Classmates” by Ryan T. Higgins.
If you have the book at home, you can grab it and read along with me. It’s always fun to read together!
In this story, our dinosaur friend learns something very important about making friends. Can you guess what it is? It’s about being kind and not eating your classmates! That sounds silly, right? But it’s a fun way to learn how to be a good friend.
Did you know that dinosaurs lived a long, long time ago? They were big and strong, and some even had sharp teeth! But don’t worry, our dinosaur friend in the story is very friendly.
Just like the little dinosaur, we can all learn to be kind to our friends. Being nice and sharing with others makes everyone happy. What are some ways you can be a good friend today?
Thank you for joining me for this fun story. I hope you enjoyed learning about our dinosaur friend and how she made new friends at school. Remember, being kind is the best way to make friends. See you next time for another exciting story!
Friendship Bracelet Craft: Create friendship bracelets using colorful beads and string. As you make the bracelets, think about the qualities that make a good friend, like kindness and sharing. Once finished, exchange bracelets with a classmate to symbolize your friendship. Discuss with your partner how it feels to give and receive a bracelet.
Dinosaur Role Play: Pretend to be the little dinosaur from the story. Practice introducing yourself to new friends and think of kind things to say or do. For example, you could say, “Hi, I’m [Your Name], and I like to play games. Would you like to join me?” This activity helps you practice making friends and being kind.
Kindness Jar: Create a “Kindness Jar” in the classroom. Each time you do something kind for a friend, write it on a small piece of paper and put it in the jar. At the end of the week, read the notes together and celebrate all the kind acts. Discuss how these actions made you and your friends feel.
