Once upon a time there was a very enthusiastic kindergarten teacher who wanted to open up her kindlers to the world of storytelling.
Well how exactly do I do that?
Make it as real to the kindlers as possible.
This week we read Little Red Hen.
Not exactly a spring themed book but it falls in the fairy tale category ( not really- but go with me). The kids learnt from this story that hardwork has sweet rewards-literally.
Enter my bread maker. As usual there are no pictures of them eating the bread because like little red hen, they ate it all.
Next Up… Tops and Bottoms by Janet Stevens.
This clever tale with a fairy tale formula, teaches this kids about the various parts of the plant that we eat. Interesting approach to teach kids about the edible parts of plants.
I love this story.It makes me laugh every time.
