She Swallowed a What?
The munchkins had a great time with this quick little unit about the crazy old lady that swallowed...
Well...
Everything!
We read so many fun versions of the story, from swallowing a "fly", to swallowing a "pie" and even some "leaves"! We even had one that had her seeing a ghost. It was a great way to compare and contrast. The munchkins did a great job deciding how each story was the same or how they were different.
Probably the most fun, though, was creating a lapbook full of fun games to take home and share with everyone.
Along with making our fantastic lapbook, we filled our time with all sorts of interesting activities...
Whether reading from the many pocket chart poems about the old lady...
Or helping each other retell the story with our fun old lady puppet (who actually "ate" the character pieces!)...
Or even sequencing the words of the story in our own mini-pocket chart activity...
The munchkins had a blast.
But that wasn't all we did!
Some of the munchkins really enjoyed the little story about the old lady who swallowed all the numbers!! This was a great way to practice forming each number correctly as well as learning to read and recognize number words.
So some munchkins played our number matching game...
And still others enjoyed learning all about how to eat healthy (unlike that crazy old lady!)...
And still others simply had fun finding a hidden place in the room to play with all the great games in their lapbooks.
But to top things off, we couldn't resist tyring to swallow a spider ourselves!
Of course, they go down much easier when they are made of pretzels and oreos!
I wonder where a spider belongs on the food pyramid?
Until next time...
Giggles,
Mrs. D.
