In short, I am busy: Goldilocks

 Flannelboards and manipulatives

• Printed Goldilocks and the three bears flannelboard (see Terri)

Rhymes, songs, and movement

• Good Ms. Padgett sings The little red hen and other stories (cd)

Crafts

• Make your own puppets
• Teddy bear die cut, gingerbread man person shape
• Popsicle sticks
• Decorations, tape
• Fractured fairy tale
• For readers - pre-print words and have the kids arrange them and write in their own to create a fractured fairy tale (similar to madlibs)
• For non-readers - cut out photographs, bears, little girls, chairs, etc. and then add in weird stuff. Have the kids arrange them and then "tell" the story. This will work as a flannelboard too.
• STEM - how heavy?
• Small cardboard boxes, weights (rocks? books?)
• Kids stack items on the boxes until they collapse
• Bonus if you can use a scale to weigh the items
• STEM - let's compare
• Collect items to compare - soft vs hard, hot vs cold, etc.
• Snacks
• instant oatmeal (porridge); chocolate pudding; teddy grahams

Vocabulary and Concepts

• Counting
• Comparison and degrees (hot, warm, cool, cold)
