GOODNIGHT
MOON
By: Margaret Wise Brown
"Goodnight Moon" was the book I chose for this book talk. I remember reading it as a child, It is a very well known children book. The book is about a little rabbit who goes to bed and before he goes to bed he says goodnight to all the possible things he can think of. He says goodnight to the moon, his balloon, his kitten...He also describes the different objects that he sees in his room before he goes to sleep. When I was reading the book I thought that this book can be used for kindergartners vocabulary. There's many words that are used that can be used on a vocabulary wall and as well as spelling words. There's also rhyming words in the book which can used as a different lesson than spelling and vocabulary. The little rabbit goes through a routine every night, I think that this can be good way for kids to elaborate on their nightly routines and a good way for them to describe what they do before they go to bed. There are many things that can be done from this short book. It is such a good book that I encourage you to add to your children's library :)
Below is a vocabulary lesson I found!
I LOVE THIS BOOK!
ReplyDeleteI actually was browsing a book store and found one that was "Good Night IPod" and almost started crying :[ Haha.
I think that this book is great for any age, although it really caters to the young ones. It's a book that holds the attention of children, but can help them learn vocabulary as you mentioned in your post.
This could be used to help kids think about what they have in their rooms, or what they say good night to when they go to bed, or good morning to when they wake up. This book has great illustrations that really helps kids visual what they are learning about.
P.S. I loved that you added a link to a lesson plan, very helpful :)
This is one of my favorites! I think everyone has to have read this book when they were younger at least once or twice. It's such a good book for beginners! It's repetitive and labels everything in the room. Such a great book for younger kids!
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book as a child, I think it was in kindergarten actually! I agree that it is perfect for the younger age group with the repetition, and they will enjoy it. I loved the vocabulary lesson that you found to go along with the book and the idea to incorporate the literary element of rhyming into a lesson!
