The theme I chose is Nursery Rhymes. I believe this theme should be used for young children. I chose 1st grade for my students. Some possible standards would be:
identify and describe characters, settings, and key events.
retell familiar stories using beginning, middle, and end.
identify patterns of rhyming words. (example: poems, songs)
describe how books, stories, poems reflect things people do.
note similarities and differences in various stories and poems.
