Students will listen to The Little Red Hen story and name the main characters in the story. On a compare and contrast board, the students will name what character skills Little Red Hen demonstrated-responsibility, citizenship and fairness and what character skill the other animals demonstrated. Then discuss how they think the Little Red Hen learned these skills. Students will then use Microsoft Paint to draw a picture of the Little Red Hen to illustrate what character she demonstrated and dictate what she did.
Students will retell the story by sequencing the pictures of the story on the computer in the right order.
Students will act out the Little Red Hen story using masks and props.
Students will choose whether it was fair or not fair that the Little Red Hen did not share the bread and defend their answer to the class.
Students will explain what the problem was in the story and come up with a solution. We will then discuss how this story relates to our classroom. We will then go over our class jobs on our job chart and discuss the importance of each job.
Discuss what would happen is everybody in the class did not do their assigned job.
Students will then use Microsoft paint to draw two pictures. One will show how they think the classroom would look if each person in the classroom did not do their job and the other will show how the classroom would look if everybody did do their job and dictate a sentence about each.
Students will choose whether they would have acted like the Little Red Hen or differently.
We will then extend this project to the home. We will make a list of what job or chores the students have at home now. They will then come up with what other jobs they might be able to do-clean their room, set the table or take out the trash. The students will then chose a job they want to do at home and I will write it on the What I Promise to do at Home helping hand and send it home.
