It has been wonderful seeing the children again!
So far we have been reading stories about farm animals. We went on an adventure with Pete and Polo looking for lost ducklings on Grandpa’s farm. We practiced counting and tried to solve the mystery of where the ducklings went with Polo while Pete went to find Grandpa. We also read about a little mouse who seemed too small to do anything. He couldn’t carry watermelons and he couldn’t haul hay and he couldn’t paint a wall. He couldn’t even fly a kite for fun! But we discovered that sometimes being too small is really just right. Finally we read about a poor rooster who couldn’t cock-a-doodle-do because of a sore throat. With the help of all the other farm animals, he was able to wake the farmer. The sleepy farmer was able to finish his chores even though he got a late start because all the animals helped him. We had a grand time “cock-a-doodle-doodling” at the top of our lungs!
It seems I was looking for farm animal stories but also wound up with stories about the importance of friendship and helping when help is needed…and no one is too small to lend a hand!
Next week we move on to stories about bears
