Readers Retell Stories, Details and Main Ideas

We have been working on describing the setting (where the story takes place), characters, problem and solution in different stories, as well as retelling stories using words, such as "Beginning," "Middle" and "End."  We can also retell stories using the words "First," "Then," "Next," "After" and "Finally."

 

 

We made puppets and recreated the setting for "The Three Little Pigs."  We used Lego to build the trees, a cauldron with red, yellow and orange Legos for the fire, and a piece of felt for a blanket.  We used the puppets to retell the story using the words "Beginning," "Middle" and "End."

 

We practise retelling stories during our Morning Circle.  We used the words "First," "Then," "Next," "After" and "Finally" to retell "Three Little Pigs" and "Red Riding Hood."

 

 

 

We created a Story Map and drew pictures to retell the "Beginning," "Middle" and "End" of the story "The Hat" by Jan Brett

 

 

 

We LOVE the story "Pete The Cat:  My White Shoes."  We used props to reenact the story from the beginning to end.
