Beary Good Facts About Beary Books - Lesson 1 of 4
Students will begin to differentiate between fiction and non-fiction as general genres. This is the first lesson of four. The library media schedule allows 35 minutes for the Kinders to have a lesson and choose books to take out. Therefore activities will reflect the short length of time.

Bunny Addition
This lesson integrates language arts, music, and math. The children will listen to the story Count on Bunnies. They will be given the opportunity to act out the story and solve bunny equations. After listening to the song "Five Young Rabbits," the children will take turns being rabbits and pantomiming the actions as the class sings. The children will combine the rabbits at the end of each verse to see how many rabbits have been added. Then they will work in pairs to create their own rabbit equations.
