10 books in my Kindergarten Vocabulary Unit
1. Giggle Giggle Quack by Doreen Cronin
Lesson #1 Conceptual Categories
This book is an adorable story about a farmer who leaves town and decides to leave his brother in charge. Although he warns him about duck, things still get a little wacky at the farm. The book is used an introduction to ways we categorize things, objects, and in this example animals.
2. Polar Opposites by Erik Brooks
Lesson #2 Opposites
This book is a great visual for students who want to learn more about opposites or who may not have understood opposites based on just the video in the lesson. This book proves an excellent visual and reference for students who may be struggling.
3. The Hueys in What's the Opposite? by Oliver Jeffers

I have actually used Polar Opposites before in one of my Winter Units. This is a good book for EL students as well. I have been able to work with our EL instructor quite often and one of the best tools that she has given me are a set of opposite cards and suggestions on books about opposites. This book was one of her suggestions as well. - Rebekah Hedgepath
ReplyDeleteI remember the Cat in the Hat Dictionary. Pretty sure that I used it when I was a kid. I love your choice of text. Also, site word hunts are a fun activity for kids to participate in. I am sure they will enjoy it!
