Story Elements in Pre-K

Over the past month the children have been immersed in learning about some basic story elements like the CHARACTERS and SETTING in a story. They are becoming masters at identifying the main character in a story which we often refer to as the STAR character.

The children have drawn pictures of a variety of characters from many of our stories, as well as some of the settings.

Here is one of the anchor charts we made.

We are extending our learning about characters by trying to make connections with them. 

By relating to the characters, they become more real to us. 

This is a very high-level task, yet the children are really becoming deep thinkers.

This is an anchor chart we made after reading the story 

Tacky the Penguin.

This story was truly a class favorite because it is so fun to 
use different voices for each character as you read. 
Tacky is an odd bird, but we could ALL relate to him:)!
