ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten ????Read Aloud | WE DON’T EAT OUR CLASSMATES by Ryan T. Higgins
Hello, friends! My name is Miranda, and I’m here with my friend Craig Tovey. We’re so excited to share a fun story with you today! Before we start, I want to say a big thank you to all my teachers, especially my kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Reynolds. Teachers are awesome!
Today, we’re going to read a super fun book called “We Don’t Eat Our Classmates” by Ryan T. Higgins. Are you ready to dive into the story with us? Let’s go!
This story is about a little dinosaur named Penelope Rex. Penelope is starting school, and she’s very excited to meet her new classmates. But there’s one big problem—Penelope thinks her classmates look delicious!
As we read, we’ll learn why it’s important to be kind and make friends, not eat them! Penelope will discover how to be a good friend and how to play nicely with others. It’s going to be a fun adventure!
Did you know that dinosaurs lived a long, long time ago? They were big and strong, and some even had sharp teeth like Penelope! But don’t worry, dinosaurs are not around anymore, so we don’t have to worry about them eating us.
Find a comfy spot, maybe with your favorite stuffed animal, and let’s enjoy the story together. Remember, stories are a great way to learn new things and have fun. Let’s see what Penelope learns about being a good friend!
Are you ready? Let’s start the story and see what happens with Penelope and her classmates!
Role-Playing Friendship: Gather in a circle and take turns acting out different scenarios where you can show kindness and friendship, just like Penelope learns in the story. For example, pretend to share a toy or invite someone to play. After each role-play, discuss how it felt to be kind and what you learned about being a good friend.
Dinosaur Detective: Go on a mini dinosaur hunt around your classroom or home. Look for objects that remind you of dinosaurs, like toys or pictures. Once you find them, talk about what makes each object similar to a dinosaur. This will help you remember fun facts about dinosaurs and why Penelope might have thought her classmates looked delicious!
Friendship Art: Create a drawing or a collage that shows what being a good friend looks like. Use crayons, markers, or any craft materials you have. Think about what Penelope learned and include things like sharing, smiling, and playing together. Share your artwork with the class and explain why these actions are important for making friends.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
