Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?

Suzi Dubin 2014 Conference Chair From: Janice Lieberman Sent: Thursday, August 15, 2013 11:16 AM To: hasafran@lists.service.ohio-state.edu Cc: bgeph...@comcast.net Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade? Chelm stories are a huge hit with my students, too! In addition, we love the books that Rose Myers refers to in her message, in which readers/listeners can guess the solution before it's revealed. Actually, making predictions is something we often do before and while reading many different texts. I guide the students in making predictions based on the title and cover of a book, and then at appropriate places in the middle of a story I pause and ask what might happen next. After frequently doing this together, the students develop the habit of making predictions on their own, and it's a great way for a reader/listener to engage with a text and actively think about what's happening. I created a chart (see attached) identifying Judaic books that I have successfully used with upper elementary students. Some of them are picture books, while others are chapter books and anthologies. Many of the stories take longer than 15 minutes to read and discuss, so if you can have longer library periods that may be helpful. Happy reading!

Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?
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).

Plays by Richard J. Allen Short scripts that can easily be acted out by students with little or no rehearsals, props, or costumes. Exploring Jewish Values in Stories Literature Students break up into small groups or work individually to read various stories and/or picture books that exemplify a specific Jewish value (humility, welcoming guests, tzedakah, etc.) They can then complete a worksheet, present to the rest of the class, create a poster, etc. about the character(s) in the story and the Jewish value. “Two Brothers” Stories Individuality or in small groups students read different versions of the “Two Brothers” story and compare/contrast. Can also be used in conjunction with a study of Jacob and Esau, Jerusalem, and/or the current situation in Israel. A similar exercise can be done with various versions of “The Crowded House,” “Joseph Had a Little Overcoat,” “Challahs in the Ark,” and other folktales that have numerous adaptations/versions.

Re: [ha-Safran] Curriculum Suggestions for 3-5 grade?
I would not assume that the 3rd-5th graders will no longer want to have stories read to them. I am librarian at the Hebrew Day School of Ann Arbor, and our3rd-5th graders are still VERY enthusiastic about listening to and discussing books that I read aloud. I share with them lots of picture books and chapter books - historical fiction, folktales, midrashim, holiday tales and more. There are many enriching and thought-provoking choices for this age group! The students love to discuss predictions, debate characters' actions, and explore lessons that can be learned. When we do other types of activities, they often ask when they'll get to hear more books, so I try to balance their desire to enjoy literature (and my desire to discuss it with them) with my need to engage them in a variety of library tasks.
