PENNY AND HER SONG TODDLER BOOK UNIT Theme: Self-Regulation, Creative Expression, and Family Consideration

Penny and Her Song 

by Kevin Henkes

Unit Overview: Penny and Her Song Theme: Self-Regulation, Creative Expression, and Family Consideration.

Focus: Penny comes home from school with a song she made up all by herself. She wants to sing it immediately, but her parents keep asking her to be quiet because the babies are sleeping. The unit focuses on emotional timing-learning that having a great idea is wonderful, but finding the right time to share it is a key part of living in a family or classroom community.

LITTLE SPROUTS 

Water Safety

Water represents an exciting but highly unpredictable environment for young learners. Rather than using fear, this unit focuses on empowerment through rules.

TIME FOR SCHOOL, MOUSE! TEACHER PUPPET STICKS Theme-School Routine

TIME FOR SCHOOL, MOUSE! 

by Laura Numeroff

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 5 TEACHER LARGE STICKS & 5 STUDENT SIZE B/W& COLOR and 10 prop pieces for bulletin board.

Directions:

1. First: Color the character circles. Encourage students to use colors that match the animals found in the book to build visual association skills. 

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, large stick used to stir paint for teacher size.

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!
