THE SNAIL AND THE WHALE TEACHER PUPPET STICKS Theme: Courage & Exploration

The Snail and the Whale

by Julia Donaldson

Theme: Exploration, Courage, and the Power of Smallness.

Focus: This unit uses the imaginative journey of a tiny snail and a huge whale to teach children about curiosity, bravery, and the importance of helping others. It validates that size doesn't determine worth, and that even the smallest action-like a snail using its silver slime to "save" a whale-can have a massive impact.

Unit Objectives For Teacher Puppet Sticks)

• Objective 1 (SEL): Students will understand the concept of reciprocal help. They will see that the whale helps the snail see the world, and the snail uses its unique "small skill" (slime tracing) to save the whale.
• Objective 2 (Language Arts): Students will identify and proactive movement verbs and contrasting descriptors. Using the puppets, students will describe how the characters move (tiny snail slithers, huge whale glides) and how the environments feel (ice/fire, deep/shallow).
• Objective 3 (Social Studies/Geography): Students will define journey and map and conceptualize that the world is a large place full of different landforms and climates that the whale and snail visit together.
  Objective 4 (Pre-STEM/Persistence): Students will describe the persistence of the snail. When the whale is beached, the snail doesn't give up. It finds a creative solution and keeps trying until it finds help.

THE VERY GREEDY BEE SEQUENCING CRAFT Theme: Sharing and Self-control

THE VERY GREEDY BEE

by Steve Smallman

Unit Overview: The Very Greedy Bee

Theme: Sharing, Self-Control, and the Benefits of Community.

Focus: This unit focuses on a bee who is very greedy and wants all the honey for himself. Through a challenging adventure where he gets "stuck" in a flower, he learns that being greedy doesn’t feel good and that sharing with friends is much more rewarding. It’s a gentle lesson in social-emotional learning (SEL) and the value of putting others before yourself.

Key Teaching Points

• Self-Control & Moderation: Learning that “too much” of a good thing (like honey!) isn’t always healthy or happy. The bee gets in trouble because he doesn’t know when to stop.

• The “Greedy” Feeling vs. The “Sharing” Feeling:

Exploring the physical and emotional difference between wanting everything (tight, hungry) and sharing (happy, relaxed, and making friends).
