I also believe that 3rd-5th graders are apt listeners to stories read aloud. At
the end of the school year, I had not yet finished reading a novel to a 5th
grade class, and had the students come in for a special session so they could
hear the end of the story. Other activities that work are: 1. given the
students and unfinished story and ask them to write their own ending; 2. create
(write and illustrate, with either one student doing both are two working as an
author/illustrator team) their own picture book; 3. show students covers of
books and ask them to guess what the book is about (this leads to lively book
discussions and interest in borrowing the books used).

Subject: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?
I would like to expand our small Religious School library program to our 3-5
grade class (yes, all in the same small class) this year. I already meet for a
short time with each of the younger classes – about 15 minutes each Sunday –
and am planning to add a session with the older children. Since this age
means moving beyond my reading stories aloud to them, I’m wondering if anyone
has any suggestions for activities, books that might work for discussion, or
other ideas for what I might do with the kids. Their classes will be working
with Year 5 of the CHAI curriculum.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!
Thanks –
