HEY, LITTLE ANT TEACHER PUPPET STICKS AND STUDENT SIZE

HEY, LITTLE ANT 

by Phillip M. Hoose
Story Retelling Puppets 

TEACHER & CHARACTER SET

Unit Objectives: These puppets are designed for kinesthetic retelling and auditory recognition. By physically moving the characters the story is read, students develop narrative recall, language fluency, and social-emotional engagement.

Puppet Set Includes:

1. Easy Version: Character circles in black and white for students to color.

2. 1 Teacher Example: A full color set to serve as a visual guide for the finished product.

3. THIS SET HAS 4 TEACHER LARGE STICKS & 7 STUDENT SIZE in color.

Directions:

1. First: Cut out the characters.

2. Second: Carefully cut out student character circle. For younger toddlers, the teacher may want to pre-cut these to focus entirely on the retelling aspect.

3. Third: Apply a small amount of glue to the top of a large stick (popsicle stick) student, Paint stirrer teacher.

4. Fourth: Press the character circle onto the glue and let it dry completely before use.

5. Teacher’s Idea: I highly recommend printing these puppets on card-stock. It is much sturdier for little hands and ensures the puppets will last through many story-time sessions!

THE BAD SEED TODDLER BOOK UNIT

THE BAD SEED 

by Jory John

Focus: The Bad Seed has a bad reputation—he doesn't wash his hands, he cuts in line, and he tells big lies. But after sharing the sad story of how he became a "bad seed," he decides he doesn't want to be angry anymore. This unit focuses on the logic of self-determination and emotional growth . Little learners discover that our past or our mistakes do not define who we are, and that being "good" or "bad" is a daily choice we get to make for ourselves.
