Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type

Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type - Doreen Cronin, Betsy Lewin

Grade: Kindergarten

 

In this book, the cows are constantly writing letters. I will read this story aloud to my class to introduce letter writings. Just as the cows write letters, the students will also write letters. There will be an anchor chart with a stick figure. We will label the parts of a letter. The "heading" label will go on the stick figure's head, the "greeting" heading will go beside the figure's mouth, the "body" label, or the heart of the letter, will go over the figure's heart, the "closing" label will go at the bottom of the figure's shirt, and the "signature" label will go at the figure's feet. Students will also learn a song to the tune of the Addam's family and movements to go along with the song to remember the labeled parts. The teacher will then write an example letter to Santa pointing out each part of the letter. Lastly, students will write their own letters just as the cows in the story did.
