Last week we read the story The Little Red Hen about a hen who works hard but has lazy friends who aren't very helpful! The little red hen asks, "Who will help me?" and by the end of the story the animals change their tune from "Not I!" to "I will, I will!" The animals learn that they need to be helpful and that laziness doesn't pay off. This week we read the old tale of The Three Little Pigs. The students found a connection between these two stories and were very eager to share why its so important to be a hard worker. We discussed how we feel when we work hard and how we feel when we are lazy. In addition to the classic story, we read a few different versions and had fun comparing and contrasting them. We practiced retelling the story by acting it out and making a pop-up book!

We will continue with The Three Little Pigs next week!
We have also been exploring thee dimensional shapes: the cylinder, cone, sphere, and cube. The students played with them, built structures, and experimented with them. We tested each object to see if it would roll or slide.
All year long we've met with our third grade study buddies from Mrs. Klingerman's class. Each Kindergartener has a "buddy" and as a final project we worked together to make this beautiful board to show that we've been able to do many things with their help including reading, writing, and art projects. Thank you, Study Buddies for helping us grow this year!
