Letter of the Week: G g

As the students are learning the Letter G g, we read the story Gorilla, Be good. The story is about a boy who brings home a gorilla, however, each day of the week, the gorilla creates a mess and/or does something to bother the family. The students then had an opportunity to participate in an Optional Literacy Centre. They were able to retell the story through pictures while creating a visual calendar of what the gorilla was doing each day. This task helped the students both orally re-tell the story, identify the days of the week and use pictures to explain their thinking.
