Little Red Hed Study

The prekindergartners engaged in a week long 

compare/contrast study of the folktale, 

The Little Red Hen.

We read many different versions.

 

We found some elements were the same, 

like the general storyline and moral of the story.

Other things were different; characters, what the Red Hen planted and what she baked and even where the setting took place.

This was a basic introduction to story elements which we will go into further in the next few months.

We learned that authors can retell the stories of others and create their own original illustrations to go along with their version.

The culminating activity of course was to bake our own bread.

We decided to prepare cornbread.

Add a little cornmeal.

 Add some milk.

Crack an egg.

 Wonder a bit how THIS will turn into bread?!?

  Then, stir,

  and stir,

 and stir some more.

We decided our thanksgiving celebration 

was the perfect time to share the bread.

Who will help me set this table?

"We will!"

Who will help me eat this bread?

 "We will!"

The great life lesson we learned...

hard work reaps rewards and satisfaction

while laziness comes with consequences.

Hope you all had a very blessed Thanksgiving!

Gobble, Gobble!!

Cheers!

Thank you to all parents who helped 

make our celebration a big success!!
