EDLL 5351-02


This lesson will work on word recognition. This lesson is for Pre-K students.

Read the book Buzz by Janet Wong. Focus on the word buzz while reading the book. Point to the word buzz. Point to the word buzz and see if any of the students can read or recognize the word. Type the word buzz on note cards or paper. Tape them on objects in the classroom that make a buzz sound. If there is a house center tape the word on a blow-dryer with the cord cut off. Tape the word on an airplane. Try to find objects that were mentioned in the book as well as others.


Craft lesson #2
Apple Pie 4th of July by J. Wong
Christian Freeman
EDLL 5351-02

This lesson will focus on different textures and letting the children experience things through their sense of touch.

Read Apple Pie 4th of July. Bring in containers and set them up as station areas. In the containers have different items such as cooked chow mien noodles,
raw chow mien noodles, shoelaces, and other things. Let the children put their hands in the containers, and play with the objects. Ask them questions about what they are feeling with their hands.

I loved the idea of finding objects that buzz in the classroom!!! Such a wonderful idea and a great way to get the kids involved in the word "buzz."
