    · Review your peers’ posts, offering a reflection of the bag from the perspective of a family member who used it with their child. Describe what the strengths are about their bag for addressing the concept of literacy development. Is there anything you would do differently? Constructively provide that feedback for your peer as well. For example, you might say, “The questions were well written and help extend the content in the story,” or, “The story was engaging, however it was rather difficult and long to read. I might recommend a story that fits the developmental level more appropriately.”

    · Additionally, suggest one way that the peer can supplement their bag by including an activity for a non-English speaking child and family. As with prior discussions, though two replies is the basic expectation, for deeper engagement and learning you are encouraged to provide responses to any comments or questions others have given to you. This will further the conversation and provide you with opportunities to demonstrate your content expertise, critical thinking, and real-world experiences with the topic of literacy.

    PEERS POST:

    Hello Class,

     

    Theme. Back to School.

    It's the first day of school and my back-to-school bookbag will have all the supplies you need to kick off a great school semester. The supplies that will be in my bag will be a notebook, glue, hand sanitizer, Kleenex, lunchbox, crayons, and three of my favorite books to read at home.

     The developmental age I choose for this activity will be four years old starting preschool. The three appropriate literature selections will be Maisy Goes to Preschool (author Lucy, Cousins), Brown Bear, Brown Bear (author Bill, Martin Jr.), and Little fish and Big fish (author Lou, Treleaven). 

     

    Three open ending questions the child could ask after reading,

    Why do the bluefish run into the shell?

    Where is the bluefish Mommie at?

    Why did the big fish bite the little fish?

    Why is the Brown Bear in the woods?

    What is the bear's name? 

     

    Have three activities that reflect reading, writing for developmental levels.

    activity one

    After reading "Maisy Goes to Preschool “draw a picture of a school and what your favorite thing is in your classroom.

    activity two

    After reading "Brown Bear" have the child paste the brown bear pieces together on construction paper the way they see him.

    activity three

    after reading "Little fish Big fish" gather small floating fish and have them float in a small bowl of water and have the children’s fish for them with a homemade fishing rod of string.

    Three activities that could be done with a child 

    creating flashcards and the children can recognize the animals in the book and tell u what kind of animal it is to see if they recognize what they just read about.

    activity two

    In the matching game have the child match the cards by turning them over and picking a match. This game is showing memory recall from what the child had just turned over or their peer. This also builds relationships with their classmates.

     

    These things that are used from the books that children have read give them language and literacy. They are learning to color, count, and about different animals that are in the book. Building relationships as they play these activities with their peers.
