Just what Neil Gaiman's quote says, "Books make great gifts because they have the WHOLE WORLD inside of them" , we schemed and scanned several unit books this week.
This then made the preschoolers think and ask questions about life and living things around them.
Once they have understood the clear difference between living things and nonliving things, we now focused on what life around us looks like.
Together with a partner, they did a BOOK TALK.
Together, they chose one book and sat down next to each other.
They opened the book and started talking about what they saw and read.
They reflected, wrote down new information they learned, and questions about the book.
Book Talk help students develop critical thinking skills by encouraging them as they analyze the information, evaluate, reason out, and form their own opinions about a topic.
This activity put simply, also helps develop student's social skills and communication skills. They learned how to listen, talk, and create a space where they are comfortable talking about their ideas with a peer.
All the new ideas and questions they created were added into their own space in our unit wall. These blue post-it notes will be revisited all throughout the unit. They will build on these questions and new ideas as they go through their whole inquiry cycle on how the world works.
