Kindergarten lesson plan help? Three Little Javelinas/Pigs?
I am new to teaching kindergarten and am doing my practicum right now in the classroom. I am doing a read-aloud type of lesson plan using the story The Three Little Javelinas (a version of The Three Little Pigs). Do you think most kindergarteners will already have prior knowledge of The Three Little Pigs story? I am trying to plan before, during, and after activities and for the "before" I wanted to build on their prior knowledge by asking them questions about what happened in The Three Little Pigs, the characters, events, etc. After reading The Three Little Javelinas, I wanted to ask the students to name some similiarities and differences in the two stories and I would write them in a Venn Diagram. Is this too much above the kindergarten capacity? Or will they be just fine as long as the teacher is writing and helping facilitate the discussion?
It depends on the school really.
Some schools teachings are higher than others.
For an average school, I would say it's a little above the kindergarten capacity.
I definitely didn't know what a Venn Diagram was in Kindergarten.
But I'm pretty sure most of them will have heard the Three Little Pigs before.
