“The Lorax” by Dr. Seuss

image

One of Lily’s favorite movies at the moment is The Lorax. We have rented it from Redbox twice. Now, it is on a Christmas wishlist.

She needed a book to fill in the Dr. Seuss square on her Building Bridges bingo sheet and a pizza slice on her Book It! page.

Lily is out of book report forms, so to make it more fun, I found a simple printable. She was able to color the Lorax after she finished her report.

Rather than type her report, the actual thing is just too cute!

Pizza Hut Book It!: 7/8*
Building Bridges: 6/25

*I had the kindergarten goal wrong. It’s only 8 books, not 10. The same page is used for other grades, too.

This evening was incredibly busy with Lily’s first Girl Scouts meeting and some grocery shopping. We decided to just read a book for Book It! and skip the Building Bridges bingo sheet and book report.

When Scholastic had their $1 book through Lily’s preschool last year, I bought 2 of these. One for her, one for Navy. Tonight, we did a buddy reading where she followed along in her book, while I read from the other.

I like that the entire book was 85 words. A quick read for a night short on time. Simple, five or six word sentences.

We are going to try this method of reading, with this same book again. Several of the words are word wall vocabulary words.

“I Lost My Tooth!” by Hans Wilhelm

Lily lost another tooth, so she got the Tooth Bag again. It comes with a book and journal that need to returned, as well as a necklace she gets to keep. Tonight, we read the book from the Tooth Bag.

Lily’s Book Report:

I liked the book.

What was the most important event? He lost his tooth by eating. Then he swallowed it. At the end, he got his treats.

“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” by Eric Carle

To fill another square on her Building Bridges with Books bingo sheet and fill another slice of pizza on her Book It! paper, we read an Eric Carle book.

This is one of Lily’s favorite books. She has it pretty much memorized and can “read” is really well.

The is a lighting vocabulary word, so Lily was sure to point that the book starts with THE!

“Snow Monsters Do Drink Hot Chocolate” by Marcia Thornton & Debbie Dreidemy

image

On Lily’s Building Bridges with Books bingo sheet, one square is a chapter book. All of the chapter books I have from when I was younger are too advanced and lengthy for a kindergartener (think Baby-Sitters Club and Goosebumps).

Thankfully, one of the Scholastic dollar books was a simple chapter book!
