Problem at the Park is a lesson about taking turns and cooperation. In this book, 2 cousins visit an amusement park together. Mei and her cousin go on the swings, but he wants to go on the log ride. Mei takes her cousin on the car ride, but he still wants to go on the log ride. Mei wants to go on the bumper boats, but her cousin speaks up...."It's not fair!" he cries. He would like a turn on the log ride!. In the end, Mei and her cousin visit the log ride and have a blast!
KP1 & KP2 have been reading this story very carefully for the past 2 weeks. A good reader always thinks about a story and how they can relate it to their own life - making connections!
As I read, students were given a goal. Their reading goal was to listen carefully to the story and think about how the story reminded them of an event in their own life.
Their next task was to draw a picture of their connection. They were encouraged to try their best to write words to go along with their picture, but (of course) Ms. Landry and Mrs. Bean were there to scribe for them and help record their thinking on paper.
