Last week, we read the story of, "The
Three Little Pigs". After reading the story, we talked about houses that
are stronger and houses that are weaker.
After reading our story, the boys and girls were given a
surprise challenge... Instead of having their teachers in the classroom, there
were Big Bad Wolves! Their job was to try and build a strong house that the
wolves couldn't blow down.
I can build using a variety of materials:
Students explored with da variety of materials, such as wooden and soft blocks, magnets, lego, and more, to try and build a strong house for the pigs. The Big Bad Wolves (Mrs. Chohan and Mrs. Beaton) were coming and trying to blow down all the houses that students had built. Some stayed nice and strong while some others got blown down!
I can make a connection:
Next, students drew pictures in their journals and explained their favourite part in the story. During their journal writing process, students were encouraged to use shapes to draw their pictures and were also encouraged to write some letter to represent their picture (ex. "P" for pig or "W" for wolf). Students are beginning to express their favorite part through drawing and speaking about their picture.
