Mrs. Bean's Kindergarten

Welcome to my classroom blog. I am a Full Day Kindergarten teacher at Corpus Christi School in Ottawa,Ontario. I hope this classroom blog will be a useful tool for parents to stay up to date with what is cool and happening in kindergarten! Please take some time to explore. I have posted links to some interesting reads about the kindergarten child. You will also find links to various educational online games and reading and math tips that support the learning we are doing in the classroom.

Problem At The Part - A Retell

 
One of the skills we teach with in the Kindergarten program is developing the ability to retell a story after reading.  A story is broken into 3 parts - a beginning, a middle, and an end.  In the beginning we meet the characters and discover the setting of the story.  In the middle we are introduced to the problem and the events (about 4) that help to solve the problem.  In the end, we see the solution of the story and how the problem was solved.  This is also where we have opportunity to make any connections we have to the story.
 



We used pictures from the book, Problem at the Park, to retell the story on the Go Map.



 
Here are some examples of our work!
