Verbs and Integrity

The girls learned about verbs today during language arts.  We watched a video and brainstormed different action words.  As they brainstormed the verbs, the girls acted each one out.  One of their verbs gave everyone the giggles for quite some time--check out the white board in the picture and guess which one it was.  We then read Move by Sally Jenkins and Robin Page and pulled out the verbs from the book.

Next, we showed last year's Pre-First Class Book about verbs.  The girls chose their own action verbs to illustrate for this year's book to put in our classroom library.

Finally, after they illustrated their action word, the girls got to put on their acting shoes and perform their verb for the camera.

We also learned a new core value today, integrity.  The girls were put into groups and had to act out a skit.  The audience members had to determine who was showing integrity and which friends were not.
